"Eyes and Ears" - anything else?
I like to use Breakfree CLP for all of my gun cleaning/oiling. Any 'good' oil will work. I like CLP because it does a good job, leaves a good film, and smells like bananas. As for ears, I bought mine at home depot. The extremely dense cylinder shaped ear plugs seem to work the best. I'm likely getting custom ear plugs made since my mom keeps pestering me about it (she works in an audiologists office).

How does a gun become "illegal" ?
There's an endless amount of reasons. The Chinese were selling full-auto AK's to LA Gangs back in the early ninties. They were even offered RPGs and Tanks.

And now... attempting to ban online ammo sales...
I would like to see the FBI, CIA, or whoever would be getting the "alert", deal with all of the information. I refuse to buy pistol ammo in NJ because of the stupid requirement that everything be recorded, but I would definitely buy $40 worth of .22 just to bother the feds. In all honesty, there really isn't any way to keep track of something like that. I highly doubt Lautenburg realizes how often people buy 1000 rounds of ammo. Two bricks of .22 is nothing.

AR parts in an AWB
I'm a tad paranoid that another AWB may be looming around the horizon, and I would like to "invest" in a AR lower for a build. I am not a tinfoil hat type and I don't think that Comrade Obama and the evil communist UN is going to take our guns, but I don't think that 1994 2.0 is out of the question. Those of you old timers (tee-hee) that were buying/selling/building guns during the original AWB, how much did prices jump on parts that were still being manufactured? I don't see why they would, but I don't know. I would like to buy a AR lower soon, just so I "own" an AR that I can build over time (as I dont feel like shelling out $700+ at once). I'm just wondering if prices on uppers and such jumped during the last ban. Oh, and I really want an authentic Colt SP1. Damn you Jerseystan.

S&W 686 4" vs new 586 4" vs 686 SSR?
I don't like the SSR barrel, myself. Really, the SSR doesn't offer much other than the chamfered holes in the cylinder. Of those three I would go with the 586 just because a new blued gun looks nice, and the lock is less obvious. Me? I would go with an older seven shot (because you can) no-lock no-MIM 686 (or 586 if you like blued steel). 4" barrel, because I like the look of a 4" barrel on my older Model 64. My dad has a Model 14 (target K-Frame with 6" barrel) and I just don't like the long barrel. Go to a local store and see what you like for barrel length.

Victim's Brother To MSNBC: The Families Won't "Politicize This" For Your Gun Restriction Agenda
I like how he stayed completely neutral to the 2A stance, as well as mention that people like him would cause harm regardless of what was at hand. Nicely spoken. Its a shame that not only he lost his sister, but also that her death is going to go down in history as a 'case study' and political arguments. This sounds a tad cheesey, but it is the opposite of "Rest in Peace".

LEO Encounter picking up PPP
When I was picking up my FID I was sitting at a stainless steel table with rings welded to it. I jokingly asked the Detective what those were for.... he replied with something along the lines of "If you knew, you wouldn't be here getting an FID right now".

What flavor do the local LEO use?
I would rather have the DAO, myself. To be honest, I don't know much about the things because I rarely fire it. I hate it that much. The build quality on it is top notch, I just hate the grip, trigger, and the kick of the weapon (which I blame on the grip). The grip is some terrible hard plastic stuff that I can't really get a good hold on and there are no aftermarket options. A set of Pachs might really be nice. Whenever I shoot the stupid thing I get a ton of barrel lift. I'll stick to 1911's and revolvers. I like the feel of M&P's, but I think I will hate them too since the trigger is similar.

What flavor do the local LEO use?
My town uses S&W 5906's I believe. My dad has a 3906 (single stack 5906) and I hate everything about it, so I almost feel bad for them.

Another thread about local crime
What handgun is in the first picture? Looks interesting. The two-tone thing that is now evidence. Not what the LEO is carrying.

- S&W Model 10 revolvers on Buds Gun Shop
I bought a Model 64 from Buds, and I love it (it is a stainless Model 10). Mine turned out to be a 64-5 (last generation of forged parts, I lucked out). I love it, and do not regret it. I found it to be accurate enough with the stock sights, since at most I will be shooting is 50 yards. It had the VPA barcode sticker on it, which means it was from the Victoria Police Armoury. Unless you really need the .357, I would just stick with the Model 10.- CMP trip 7-5-12
Does one need to be in a CMP club to walk in and buy an M1? I imagine so, unfortunately (if anyone is a member of a really lax club, let me know)- Unions fill deptford mall
Screw unions! I would rather hire the illegal alien down the street for $10 an hour! That way I have to have the job redone in 10 years, and he can drag the rest of his family and kilos of coke here too! In all seriousness, I support the average union worker but I feel that they are horribly mismanaged. I feel that a big "reset" button needs to be pressed on many of them.- .357 Auto?? hey now S&W!
I like how in ~100 years, only S&W calls .38 Special ".38 S&W Special".- Did we bail out GM to establish in china..WTF..
Fastd: Yes, although a few lines (Edge, Fusion until 2013) are made in Canada, and Mexico, respectively. Much higher American parts content than the Foreign companies you listed across the entire line. Raj: The whole "American Muscle Car" is made in Canada so what do you expect? The only RWD cars made stateside are the Mustang and Corvette.- FFL Problems... unfortunately
For Buds: I dislike their customer service department. They refuse to answer emails for some reason, which baffles me. Since most of the time I am not available during their business hours (9-5, monday thru friday), I had to have my dad call to ask questions for me. Even then they couldn't answer since "it was in the warehouse" and "they were going to call me back". As far as I know, their call center could be on Mars. For the FFL: I'm a man of my word. If I give someone my word, I hold myself to it or notify them if I can't. I understand the guy is recovering from same-day surgery, but a phone call never hurt anyone. If he can screw around and admire my gun the day he gets out of surgery, he can call me two weeks after to let me know he has decided to go to Maui or wherever. Yes, I am a little bitter, but all I would like is a phone call or text saying "Sorry I am still not home, I may be away a week or more I will let you know". FWIW, he said he "would be recovering in Virginia" with his kids, so he isn't home. I would like to politely go to his house after thursday (which would be one week late, per his instructions) and ask why he is ignoring my calls and voicemail, but I really cannot do that.- FFL Problems... unfortunately
My annoyance with Buds is their crappy attitude I received as a customer. Getting ahold of them is impossible if you work 9-5, since the refuse to answer any and all emails. Plus, taking five days to ship something already at their warehouse is just garbage. Their refusal to change the shipping address to one of their preferred FFL's was just laziness.- Heat wave
Regularly, not really. But I do like Budweiser. The only beers that offend me and I really won't drink would be Corona, Rolling Rock (and similar beers), and Genesee Cream Ale.- FFL Problems... unfortunately
I'm starting to get worried here, and I am unsure how to proceed if things continue heading south. I had ordered a gun from Buds Gun Shop (terrible people to deal with, btw), and arranged to have it sent to a local FFL near me because he was cheap at $22.50 + NICS. He had explained to me that it had to get there by Monday, June 11th because he was going to go for surgery and recover in Virginia with family. I order the last week in May, and Buds decides to take almost a week to ship. Whatever. I get a call Tuesday, June 5th (I believe, but I could be wrong) from the FFL saying it needs to get there BEFORE Saturday the 9th or else he can't pick it up. Nice to change dates on me, so I call Buds to see if it can be shipped to Hackettstown but it "cannot be changed once it is in the Shipping department". Great customer service. My gun arrives Friday the 8th and I get a call from my FFL saying he recieved the gun, it looks nice, but he doesn't feel like transferring it to me today since he is on pain meds and I can get it in two weeks. The 21st has passed, two weeks since he left has passed, and I can't reach the guy. All I have is a phone number which I call occassionally and left a message or two. What should I do? I plan on waiting until Thursday the 28th (a week after he told me I can buy it), or maybe even a bit later, then I would like to take further action if I haven't heard anything. What action, I dont know. Calling the police probably won't help, calling Buds is useless since they have my money and dont care anymore. Thoughts?- Heat wave
Also, Corona is garbage. I would rather pull a Bear Grills, tastes the same but its free!- Buying guns from friend of family
Depending on what he may have, you could come into a few very illegal firearms. I don't know what this man did for a living, but there are enough stories of people acquiring machine guns (which need to be registered in states where they are legal, and they are completely illegal here) or weapons like M1 Carbines (illegal in NJ because of outdated laws). It was common for GI's to come home with some crazy stuff. I would reccomend you find a friend who is familiar with firearms when you go check them out, for two reasons. The first is identifying any elephants in the room, and the second which is extremely important, SAFETY! Walking into a room full of guns can be dangerous if you are not familiar on how to clear them of live ammunition. When my dad and I went through my Grandfathers things when he passed away we found a few loaded firearms. Could have had an accident if we were not familiar with firearms. I am sure you could find someone on here to help you, but to be honest most firearms enthusiasts are friendly vultures. 99% of people would be happy to help (we're awfully friendly here), but you will also get "Hey, if you don't want that lovely M1 Garand, I'll buy it right now!"- Firearms prices

Just for kicks and giggles... what are you acquiring? I know this sounds terrible, but some interesting firearms always appear in situations like these. - S&W Model 10 revolvers on Buds Gun Shop
