Home defense shotgun
I have a 1982 Remington Wingmaster that only takes 2 3/4" shells. It has a solid Remington synthetic butt stock, a Hogue rubber forearm grip (got the matching pistol grip which looks cool but isn't practical), a Remington 18" barrel with a mag extender, and a Side Saddle 6 round shell holder mounted to the receiver. Its simple but it works for me. Dog likes shotgun...

List of NJ-friendly and NJ-unfriendly online firearm retailers
I ordered a Savage Mark II FVSR from Budd's and had no problems aside from a couple days shipping delay. I was happy with the purchase because I couldn't find them anywhere locally or in PA. I have had nothing but good experiences from AIM. Widener's has been good to me for ammo, also.

My Remi 700 .308
I love your AISC stock! I shoot my 5R at CR; its nice to be close to a 300yd range. Go during the week and you won't have to share the range with many other shooters.

New Saiga!
My half conversion was very easy. I used a Tapco G2 Trigger which turned out great! Congrats on your new Saiga. A machinist at work put the slots in the stock front grip which makes a big difference in removing barrel heat from under the front grip. BTW, I picked up my Saiga new in 2001 for only $175! Saiga eye candy...

Off to DC for three days.
My PA route takes me 4.5 always. I don't care to count the times that 95 has taken me 5-6 hours in addition to the outrageous toll fees. Yes I have made it in 3.75 hours on 95, but that is an exception to the norm, not the standard.

Off to DC for three days.
I drive to DC regularly to visit family. I never use 95 anymore. I do I-78W to Allentown, 222S to Lancaster, 30W to York, 83S to I-695, 70W to 29S, and 29S through to Silver Spring/DC. It takes 1/2 hour longer than 95 on a good day, but is always consistant and only a $1 toll leaving Jersey on I-78.

Off to DC for three days.
The Smithsonian actually has so much stuff that they have to rotate the exhibits from their storage facilities to make an attempt to show everything that they have. All the Smithsonians are worth checking out again if you haven't been there in a while.

Where to shoot long range.
They only have a 100yd range, I wouldn't call that long range shooting. Cherry Ridge has a 300yd range, still not really long range either. I think 600 yds starts to qualify...

Looking for 308 battle rifle recommendations
I love the H&K G3 platform and the PTR91 can come in a NJ approved configuration. I have a .308 Garand which I like which has no assault weapon restrictions. The M1A is very nice but also more expensive.

Show your sticks!
My Remington 700 5R in .308 with a SWFA 10x42HD scope, CDi bottom metal, cerakote by GdsCoatings, Badger rings and rail, bolt knob by me, and a Harris bipod. My best groups were with 43.0 gr Varget under a 175 gr Sierra MatchKings, with the once fired cases sized with full length die, but only 1/2 way down the neck sized, about a .375" group at 100yds.

AFFORDABLE SPOTTING SCOPE
I really like my Konus 7120, but for only 100 yards, I guess that you could go really cheap. The Konus 7120 is really a decent spotter and can be had for less than $200 now.

What to buy; 9mm revolver? I'm confused.
FYI Ruger made some Security Sixes in 9mm years back. Good luck finding one as they are very desirable to Ruger fans and equally as pricey.

First revolver
Thanks guys, I know when it shipped...It does have some holster wear on both sides of the muzzle which doesn't show in the photo.

First revolver
I have a special place in my heart for my S&W's; Their triggers are better than any of my Rugers, but they cost a whole lot more. The Rugers can take more of a beating than I'd like to hand out to either of my S&Ws. Here is my 1958 Pre-29 4 screw and my Model 1917 US Govt issue war revolver.

First revolver
Nice Python. I agree, you need to get a nice Ruger to use as a shooter. I have three; a Security Six .357, a Redhawk .44, and a SP101 in .38 Spc. I've put spring kits in all of them as well as polishing the guts and adding hammer, trigger, and hammer dog shims, and they all are a pleasure to shoot. The Security Six was my first firearm.

Coming back from Afghanistan and warned of ISIS threat to military personnel. Can i obtain a Concealed carry permit??
Thanks for your service. It is sad to see that even though you have used weapons to defend our country on your missions abroad, the govt is ready to tag returning military as more likely to be a risk to our society with firearms due to the prevalence of PTSD in returnees. So, the fact that you are experienced with weapon use is more likely to held against you than an asset in favor of your argument. I know there are many who have removed the DoD decals from their vehicle windshields. I think that there have been few such incidents reported, so the likelihood of being targeted is fairly remote, but being cautious by removing DoD references from all your social media pages and stickers from your vehicles will minimize random targeting.

Rifle Hunt Upstate... Need Help/Suggestions
I remember when I started deer hunting years ago, the only deer that I saw were deer running away from me. It took a while to learn to become one with the woods, to move slow and look and listen and to be quiet. Spend some time in the woods alone or learn to move alternately with your partner using hand signals to start and stop motion. The comments regarding odor control are sound suggestions. Pratice how to shoot your weapon accurately before you go trudging around in the woods. Good luck! BTW, windy days are great days to catch the deer off guard; the wind makes noise that drowns out your noise, it blows your scent away, and it makes everything else move which hides your motion. The deer will like to bed down where they feel safe and not move unless the get pushed out. Once they are forced to move they are vulnerable.

Traveling out of state with pistols?
The NRA range in Fairfax is very nice. They also have an awesome firearms museum there at the NRA headquarters.

Ditching an AK47 for an AR
I love my 7.62x39 AKs, but I got one AR to have so that I have both calibers covered.

Only one handgun
With no real justification for the question, I'd have to go with an HK P7 PSP; super dependable, reliable, and accurate. If conditions were set why I'd only have one handgun, I might make another choice.

Eric Frein Captured in hangar at Poconos Mountain Airport
For injuries that supposedly already occurred, they look bright red like a recent injury. I can see him being stiffly asserted to the ground in the process of handcuffing as a likely senario.

Opps, looks like his face got slammed into a hard surface...he should watch out for swinging phone books!
