302w

I'm new to the AR scene, but I would not mind starting out a long-term build this summer. I still don't know if I want a carbine or fullsize rifle. Anyway, can someone ID this handguard style if it exists? I think I have seen it on real ARs, but I have only been able to find airsoft guns with them. I wouldn't mind a matching Noveske receiver sporting one of these handguards... but I dont think it is possible.

1911 Piston-driven AR in 5.56. Unless money really isnt an issue I would like an ACR in 6.8, because 7.62x51 is too heavy to lug around in high capacity.

Depends on what you are looking for. Used shotguns/rifles? Yeah, there are simply more of them. I found buying new guns to be relatively the same with either stores offering $50 +/-.

The thing with "survival gear" is I don't believe it is a one-stop shop for everything. Take for example bags, a crappy backpack or duffel bag will suffice if you're evacuating to a highschool gym during a hurricane, but nothing beats an ALICE pack for a bug out bag. What I meant by "run of the mill" stuff is he sells generic backpacks, chem toilets, and camping gear and the like. Everything there I can buy at Ramsey Outdoor mostly. What I think he would be better off selling is a mixture of water purification stuff (when I was there he had just moved so most of his water goods were not there), some milsurp goods, a better selection of cutlery (I didn't look but I doubt anything wasnt 440 stainless, cheap junky steel), canning supplies (corner stone of prepping), and then your basic camping/survival stuff. I'm not even a "prepper" either. I find the subject interesting though.

I found the "Get Out Safe" store in Whippany to be kind of crappy, IMO. What they had there was your "run of the mill" survival stuff. Standard department store grade tools and some NBC deterrent stuff. The guy there was nice, but a tad too nice. I did buy a 3 pack of flashlights for $12, which I don't regret since they are unusually nice. In a bad situation, I would only "bug out" if need be. Some might call me "not prepared" but I attempt to stockpile store-bought canned food as much as possible, and I can easily acquire water from several sources close by and purify it. I honestly don't see a situation (short of Red Dawn or complete anarchy) that I would want to "bug out". In Jersey and the local parts around here (certainly everything within full tank of gas and no traffic distance) there simply isn't room to "bug out". If I didn't die attempting to bug out, I would come back home and find my stuff ransacked. If there is a hurricane or some other natural disaster, I will move to wherever the Government tells me to or stay with family then go back to my house (if it is still there) afterward.

Should have bought American

I may go to the gunshow in Mount Bethel this sunday, and I am open to buying a revolver if the price/condition is right (wouldn't mind a Nagant, or S&W Model 10/13/64/65). How would I actually buy it? I unfortunately have a week or two left before the P2P comes in. I know I would have to FFL it to NJ, (where they would hold it until my permit comes in), but everything else I am unsure.

If there was a local one, I would trade in one of my NJ firearms. The .117 pellet rifle that turned into a firearm after I crossed the NJ boarder. Then I would probably stalk out the place and solicit the non-sketchy people.

"Get out of jail free" cards do not work with women. When it comes to women, You are wrong, always.

I have seen them in the Sportmans Guide catalogue. IMHO, they seem dorky and stupid. I know that sounds childish, but there is no point to owning a store bought "CCW badge" even if you have a CCW permit.

Whats the story with the plastic training ammo? I thought it was just surplus snap-caps, until you said corrosive primer...

As the old timers say "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is"

Might I ask where? $375 is a great price.

It seems like Quibids and gunbroker had a baby. You have to "buy" bids. As in you buy 20 bids, then can bid 20 times against people, except items only go up one cent at a time. So you might buy an M1A for $0.32, but you had to buy sixteen bids at whatever price each bid is. I am guessing $20

Cheapo copper plugs are your friend. Also, if your injector is bad, they are easy to rebuild. Unless the thing wont fire at all, in which case you need a new one.

My question is, are the M1 Garands going to be import marked? If the stars align maybe the CMP will have "cheap" M1's

There are two muzzleloaders FS right now on the Marketplace. I do not know anything about them, but it is a place to start

hd200- Thank you. Pizzabob/irishpeteswife: GM says no Caprice for you. They are being imported into this country as LEO exclusive.

I went to Home Depot and bought a pair of 3M rubber/plastic earplugs. After going to RTSP and having people fire shotguns/AR's in a 25 yard indoor range I didn't have ringing in my ears.

Why are you moving?

Daily driver. Nothing fancy, but I like that it is a little different than everything else. 302w, original paint. Light mods, nothing fancy. Plymouth Road Runner. I am disappointed that this is the best picture I have in photobucket.

Top notch. I have a Golden Boy and I dont have a single complaint. The only bad things I ever hear are that people don't like the plastic front sight and barrel band on the round barrel model (most that complain upgrade them). As far as I know, the Frontier is the same as my GB but with a black dovetailed receiver.

I really have to reccomend a Henry octo-barrel or Golden Boy. They make a fine rifle, and you can do everything from rapid shooting like a jerk for the fun of it, to shooting from a bench rest. You get close to the best of both worlds, since IMO, you can shoot much quicker than a bolt action if that is your thing. Plus, they are ambidextrous, so if you ever want to take someone to the range that is a righty they can shoot too.

I would have called about one bad round. Call me a sleaze, but ammo is too expensive nowadays. I would have just tossed a .22 though. Honestly, I read a lot of bad things about Remington ammo. M
