Is there any way to make a Ruger Charger NJ legal, such as a "permanent" nondetachable magazine say like a standard SKS with a Charger Lite if there is such a variety?

Does anybody have any experience with this new stock that converts a standard Ruger 10/22 to a take-down Ruger?. What a great idea; It looks pretty neat. it would be really cool if it could hold extra magazines in the stock, and if they eventually came out with a wooden or "over-molded" variety. One vender has the "on sale" for about $110 dollars... I always wanted a take-down 10/22 and this is a lot cheaper, and supposedly a smaller package, than the standard 10/22 take-down variety and seems to float the barrel and can be used with a carbine or heavier target barrel.

i would avoid a single-action revolver such as a Single Six unless you want it for a specific purpose. The S&W 617 is awesome. The Ruger SP101 is a very nice one as well. And, another consideration would be the Ruger LCRx. If you do get a Single Six, check into the Ruger variety with the .22 WMR and .22LR cylinders that swap out. That would be versatile. Another thought would be to get a Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Compact. That is an awesome little gun and Gun Mag Warehouse had S&W magazines on sale.... I personally think a .22 revolver of some kind is a staple in anyone's collection. A buddy has a cheaper older reolver, I think it is a High Standard? and it is a fun little gun to plink with. Although it is kind of ugly, for versatility I would get a Ruger LCRx in 3" barrel. I wish they would come out with one with interchangeable cylinders like the Taurus or the Single Six. Just keep in mind that a .22 revolver has a heavy trigger which is needed for the rimfire cartridge. I imagine that the better quality Smiths mitigate this. I know that just about every time I go to the range, my 22 revolver goes with me.

Well, I wouldn't trust that Blank Blank Roberts. No wonder the Schmuckster confirmed him so quickly...

Happy New Year! I have been thinking a little about 22 semi-autos. I have to admit that I think the S&W Victory is a good looking "budget" 22. It looks like a sweet firearm, and with an upgraded Tandemkross trigger it might be a very nice plinker. Does anybody have any thoughts or experience with these firearms? It seems like there are more and more options available for them such as match barrel, and I imagine nice grips would also sweeten the deal. What do you think about needing a wrench for the take-down? I have heard that you can get a 2-3 pound trigger with the upgrade and that the trigger can be set very nicely with screws for travel adjustment. Any thoughts how they compare to the Ruger Marks, such as the stock triggers, and in particular to the 22/45 Lite and the Mark III Hunter? Or how they compare to the Buckmark? Has anybody seen any good deals on older Ruger Marks now that there is competition with the S&W Victory and the newer easier to clean Ruger Mark IV? I imagine that it would cost more to upgrade the trigger on a Ruger than on the S&W Victory. How easily is it to update the Ruger trigger and how well does it work? I don't really like cleaning the Rugers, but for me once you learn how to do it the take-down isn't that bad. Does anybody have experience with the upgrade kit from Majestic Arms for the older Rugers to make the take-down and cleaning easier? Additionally, for me there are categories for 22 handguns that need to be checked. The first is a Revolver. I like the S&W 617 but it is just too big. My favorite choice would be the Model 63, however he finish wasn't the best for a S&W. The Ruger SP101 is probably the best value all around. The Second Category would be a target pistol. In the budget range, I think an upgraded S&W Victory would be my first choice. Buckmarks have a following, but I just cannot get into them and I don't like the gold trigger. I actually prefer the Ruger Marks in looks over the Buckmark, but I like the Buckmark action better. I would love to find an old Colt Woodsman or Browning Challenger/Nomad or S&W Model 41 some time. Next would be a fun training gun. I think the S&W M&P 22 and M&P 22 Compacts fit the bill nicely. A Glock with a 22 conversion barrel such as the Advantage Arms would be a good choice as well. For fun and versatility the nod would go to the M&P 22 Compact. Do any of you like the S&W M&Ps? Which one would you prefer? What do you guys think? If you had to limit yourself to 4 or 5 22LR handguns for versatility, what would you choose? Mine would be the following: 1. S&W Model 63 kit gun or Ruger SP101 2. S&W M&P 22 Compact or S&W M&P 22 full size 3. S&W Victory with upgraded trigger or Ruger Mark IV 4. Ruger 22/45 Lite 5. NAA Sidewinder chambered in 22 Magnum and 22 LR. If I had to pick just one, it would be a double-action revolver. The second would be the 22/45 Lite Mark IV. Other 22s I like are any NAA models. Browning 1911, S&W Model 617, Ruger Mark II Target, CZ75 22LR model and the Ruger LCR in 22LR.

22 Revolvers.. They are not finicky like 22 semi-autos and can handle a variety of ammo. Since they are rimfire, they can have a much heavier trigger pull than their larger bore cousins. The S&W revolvers listed above are very nice and worth the money. i like the S&W Model 63. The triggers in the newer Ruger Single Sixes are not as nice as the older ones. If you want a Single Action look for an older one unless you were getting it for a specific purpose. Learn about single-action safety with old Ruger's though. They are a pain to load and unload and don't allow you to fire in double-action. i am not sure if older stainless Single Sixes can be, had, though, if that is an issue. However, I wouldn't get a Single Action revolver over a double-action one for range fun. The Ruger SP101 is also a nice rimfire, but the trigger is heavy and the stock grips might be a little on the small side. A 617 would be a nice "twin" to the good 686 choice. I would probably stick with either a Ruger or S&W double-action revolver in stainless. The 22 revolver goes to the range almost every time and is not boring.

Does anybody know of a source for medium size ALICE packs in Northern NJ... OD with frame, belt, and straps?? By the way, Sportsman's Guide just had Swedish LK35 packs in stock. I love those simple packs.

Where in Northern NJ can one get a Glock magazine release button repaired? Thanks.

Finally got a Kershaw Blur and I love it. It is an awesome tool. Grippy, light, good looking, good steel, etc...

I will stick with my dogs. Just spend a little more time with them. Why not get her a dog training or agility training class? Or, instead of getting a pet, go and do some horseback riding or something.

I am looking for a used pickup with an extended cab that can tow a small trailer, maybe about 3500 lbs. I might consider an SUV with towing capabilities. This will be a secondary vehicle and used on the weekends, etc. Would be OK with 6 cylinder if it is good enough to tow with. My budget is probably under $6000 for this "recreational", utility vehicle. Might consider something a little nicer. I was thinking an F150. Any thoughts, recommendations? Need to put 2 kids and a golden in the extended cab if it is a pickup.

LOL

Since this is traditionally tax day, I am making a motion to make it Liberal Fools Day. Reach out and prank your favorite progressives in a heartwarming and fun way and then have a big glass of iced TEA.

Great gun for versatility. You can get 357 barrel and 9mm barrels for it. You can also pick up Glock 22 full-size 15-round magazines for it as well (say as a night stand gun). I have never had a misfire with 9mm conversion barrel and 9mm magazines. Works also nicely with Advantage Arms 22 conversion for maximum versatility.

NJ has lost a great one. My Uncle lives SC, too. He moved down there years ago and would never come back. He is into civil war reenactment.

We are not missing the point. The law is unjust whether its for a public servant, private individual, etc.. Besides, only liberal, progressive busybodies should be charged, anyway. And, since you are on the topic... We live in a slave state as many have coined. That means that the slaves do not have the same rights as the enslavers, right? So, because a law is unjust and bad we should make an example of a knucklehead and have him do jail time, lose his job, lose his right to own a gun, pay $1000s of dollars to the courts, etc., and just hold him up as an example. Instead, it would be better for him not to be charged and acquitted and for other cases to cite that case as a clarification that there are two standards, unjustly in this cesspool of a state. Maybe that could help one of us less fortunate. Also, have you ever given one of those get out of a ticket cards to any of your friends or relatives? If so, why? Are those people that will get out of a minor traffic violation above the law? Where's my card? It seems there are two sets of laws. Hey I got it. Why not let this CO plea bargain like the really dangerous thugs in this state. Maybe he can get charged with only aggravated armed assault, instead, and be out on the street tomorrow. Additionally, as I have stated earlier. Because of the BS laws that we have I would imagine that 90% of NJ residents have technically fallen on the wrong side of the gun laws at one time or another. These unjust laws are designed to catch the little people. And while I am on it, why should only LEOs get to carry, etc. I am willing to pay for at least an equal amount of training, psychological testing, etc. if it will lead to me expressing a God-given right. I imagine the CO would do it, too. Seems that that is also a double standard you should know about as long as you are keeping tabs on these double standards. You seem to espouse the statist mentality that illustrates why this will always be a slave state. For what it is worth, I would rather stick to my principles in knowing what is right and what is wrong.

Equal treatment... NJ residents are the idiots that put the idiots in power that passed these idiotic laws. Seems like we should be the first ones to get crushed by them. Actually the politicians that voted them into existence, they should be held to the highest standard. Why should someone from free America be punished for our liberal, progressive, statist BS?

Some of the opinions of the clowns on here illustrates just why this state is so Fugged Up. Public Servants are not above the law. I get that. However, we are talking about unjust and unconstitutional laws. And, OK, so this idiot CO broke the law. The truth is that it should not be a felony with jail time, the loss of firearms for life, etc.. Save the felonies for the thugs that are really bad and/or dangerous. I am not saying it is OK to be ignorant of the law, but the thing is that people in other more free places don't realizes, can't imagine the tyranny that exists in the People's Republic and the hate on for freedom-loving Americans. For example, when I told my out-of-state friend about process to get a FID card and then a pistol permit, and on and on, he could not believe it. I think he thought I was exaggerating. He still doesn't believe me. Could it be that there are gun crimes in other states but it is more of a slap on the wrist that seven years hard time and most likely thousands of dollars? Maybe he was acting lawful if he had been in his home state. But, it blows my mind the thoughts of some. Again, for anyone in the firearms community to wish something bad on someone else just because that person has been following the laws or thinks so highly of his sorry, NJ ASs.... And, I bet many who said he should get what he deserves, I bet they have not followed all of the laws to the letter, themselves. Did you ever stop somewhere on the way to the range, etc.? Did you ever throw a box of shotgun shells on your passenger seat? All I can say is when you have a 22 shell caught in your boot tread or something similar, or if you stop to get gas or a sandwich on the way to the range, remove the speck from your own eyes, first. Because you are just as "unlawful". Here is an example. I might know someone that may have admitted that he didn't take his firearms out of his car when returning from the range because there had been a traffic accident and all the traffic was being diverted and passing in front of his residence. He didn't want his property to be so visible to the stop and go traffic what he was carrying out of his vehicle. So, he waited until later. But, later he forgot about his guns in his trunk and jumped in his car and headed off to the supermarket. Should he get what he deserves when he gets caught while putting his groceries in his trunk? Again, let me restate my point. Even the gun owners, the ones who should no better, well, they should be more tolerant of their otherwise, lawful companions. Apparently there are some in this state who are to many of them in this state are just pathetic babies. Their attitude is part of the reason I want to pack my bags. If you want to be a baby about it think about the privileged in this state including LEOs that get to carry because of their political connections and stop worrying about the idiot corrections officer.

I liked it, but not too fond of the "excess" polymer on it. And, I know it's a target model and feels ergonomic and good in the hands, but it didn't feel balanced the right way for me. The barrel is quite heavy. Still, I think it is a nice looking firearm. If you already have a Buckmark or Mark III and/or 22/45 I would not consider switching to it, unless the trigger is really good in the Victory. For a stainless gun, though, it comes in at a good price. Although it might be easier to shoot than the Ruger, I think a Ruger 22/45 Lite would be more versatile, unless you were looking for a budget "target" model. Or, if you could not take-down and clean the Ruger.

Has anybody seen one of these available, or had a chance to shoot it? http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2016/01/jeremy-s/gun-review-ruger-american-pistol-in-9mm/

When you live in a liberal and progressive town with a high liberal Jewish population in a largely progressive, statist county in an unAmerican, unconstitutional state, what do you expect? Document everything and get help. Better yet, move to somewhere that values personal freedoms and the liberty that is cultivated. Call the detective and tell him you have a tip for him. Tell the chief you would like to make a donation to his department and see if he can arrange a meeting. When either one meets with you on something that might interests that person, then discuss your dilemna.

Check out a Stoeger Condor.

Yeah, but if we could save just one life... wouldn't that be better? Stalin, Hitler and Mao thought so.

I have about 50 for my Speed Six . As others have stated, 5 is a good number to shoot for. For guns you use more often at the range, primary home defense guns, concealed carry pistol (yeah right), and the like, you may want more. And, it is nice to have dedicated "range" ones and let them wear out. I have a question, though... How many actually wear out? Can the springs be acquired and replaced readily and would that essentially make them function like new? In long storage, or to put away "backup" ones, does anybody release the tension on the spring before storing?

This is terrorism. When will the American people stand up?
