As far as the "mix" of parts is concerned, there is some grey area as far as Remington (R) marked parts and Eddystone (E) marked parts is concerned. Research is required for them, as Remington ran the Eddystone manufactory. As such there was some "mixing" of parts between the two due to wartime exigencies. My M1917 for example has all Remington parts, save for the upper handguard rear barrel band half, which is marked with an E. As far as I can tell from my research on the subject, it is correct for the rifle.

There are an amazing breadth of cheap OBD-II scanners available. Most just pull ECM codes. I'm spoiled by having access to a Snap-On Verdict scanner. Does everything under the sun you could ever need. Wireless too.

Brand new tires and wheels on it. New chrome trim rings. Headlights look new. Glass all looks freshly cleaned. I bet that thing runs and drives just fine.

That's a fine looking rifle. I'd say it is worth $500-600. The Eddystone models command the lowest value, as they were the highest produced models I believe. Winchester models command the highest prices I think. I have a Remington M1917, all matching. Paid about $800 for it a few years ago, mint rifle. It is very intimidating when you mount the 16" bayonet on it!

That was bad fucking ASS! \m/

Why buy one of those when you already have the real deal? Hell your average run of the mill Izhevsk M91/30 runs about $100-120 or so. What's the fascination with airsoft stuff? Is it some sort of competition to paintball or something? Do people shoot each other with these things?

Yeah that crap only affects semi-auto stuff. I have a bolt action Winchester Model 72, that can fit 16 rounds of .22 LR in the tube mag. Perfectly legal.

I agree with you there. The arms are likely all legal.

Bingo!!! They are asking way too much for stuff they won't even guarantee to work. Non reloadable steel cased stuff to boot, so its not like you can recycle the ammo and reload it or something. If it doesn't go bang, it is useless. I'd buy a few cases of the stuff for $40-50 a case. My Mosins don't mind dirty ammo.

Bob's is still a burned out hulk as far as I am aware. I drove past there about a week ago and it was still in shambles. The little range, that is. The store itself was unharmed by last year's fire as far as I am aware. OP, try USANA in Elmer, off of Sand Bridge road.. Cheap yearly fee, and the place is pretty much a ghost town, you can usually have a whole range to yourself. Most folks I have ever seen there at any time I stop by was around 3 or 4. Downside is there aren't any amenities on site...or there weren't last time I was there. Gotta bring all your own ammo, targets, etc etc. Can't really purchase anything on-site.

Hm, the "Colt AR-15" as well as "Avtomat Kalashnikov type semi-automatic firearms" are listed by name on the banned gun list in Jersey law. So either: A. The cops reported the wrong weapons to the press B. The press mistakenly stated those guns by those names in particular OR C. They guy had guns on the banned list, and forgot to keep them stored under his floorboards or something, which AFAIK is standard procedure in this hell hole for those who want any such "naughty" items. If answer is C, the cops could probably charge the hapless owner with a butt ton of BS charges.

That location is literally 10 minutes down the road for me. Glad to see a shop is opening up close by.

As a mechanic, I fully agree. I tell people all the time that regular maintenance is a LOT cheaper than repair. Brake fluid, coolant, axle fluid, transmission fluid, power steering fluid, etc etc should all be changed at regular intervals. Nobody ever does, however, and problems eventually arise. Personally, I bleed the brake fluid in my vehicles every few years, change the coolant every 4-5 years (Motorcraft Gold hi-life stuff, mixed with distilled water), change the oil every 5K, etc etc. I changed the trans fluid at 50K in my truck, that stuff looked nasty! Same for the transfer case. Regular maintenance is the key to making your car last a long time.

I never did understand why military personnel weren't allowed to carry loaded firearms wherever they went. They are better trained in the handling of firearms and heavy weapons than anyone else in the entire nation. Why would they have to shell out the money to buy their own firearms though? They are all issued M16A2 (or A3 or A4?) rifles already by the Army. Just mandate that ammunition be made available for those weapons. I'd rather see soldiers with their M16 rifles than with personal sidearms. Pistols are of little use in the types of firefights they are trained for, and the bulk of their training is with their service rifle. Would it not make sense to allow them to use that training with the weapon that they are trained with? This would maximize their effectiveness.

WOAH WOAH WOAH! They did what now? Hell I just bought a four wheeler a couple months ago. That might explain why there isn't really anywhere to ride the damn thing!

Huh? I thought those silly magazine capacity laws only affected semi-auto firearms. Bolt-actions can have as large a mag as you want.

Looks like you just need to replace the stock and parkerize the bolt handle. You are damn lucky that the barrel didn't get cut down by someone with a hacksaw!!!! (hacked up "sporterized" milsurp rifles abound). Be aware that there is a metal cap that has the bayonet lug and a few other metal parts that bolt to the stock that you'll need as well. Also be aware that the 8 round en-bloc clip you posted a photo of is for an M1 Garand, and will not fit in a M1903. You can simply remove the cartridges and load them into the Springfield. The clip itself is part of the M1 Garand's magazine mechanism, and useful only on that specific rifle. Numrich can supply you with some parts for it: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/USMilitary-33541/Rifles-42386/SpringfieldModels-40111/Springfield1903A3-42095/PartsList-42071.htm

Longarms aren't required to be registered in NJ, so why not just do a private sale?

Take the heat? Hell I work in this crap. I'd much rather be at a gun range having fun in this heat than working in it!

Probably a bad motor or regulator. Not an uncommon problem. You can tell how good a shop is by how busy it is. Parking lot so packed you can barely pull your car in? Yeah they're doing something right.

I'll have to head out there sometime to see what's shaking.

I agree. Besides, there have been large capacity pistol cartridge magazines around for almost 100 years now. Remember the MP-18? Or the Model 1914 Luger, which became available with a buttstock and 32 round snail drum magazine, making it a carbine?

Hrmph, child's play compared to this book that I read when I was a teenager:

Have a quality safe, and that won't be a problem. I bet those "stories" you have seen are all about piss-weak safes with 10 gauge or thinner steel doors. Barely thicker than a tin can, for all intents and purposes.

And repeal OGAM And repeal pistol purchase permits And allow open carry And allow new gun shops and ranges to open wherever and however they pleased (local ordinances play a large part in that, but state bs gets in the way too) In short, give NJ the same gun laws that Vermont has.
