Any Ford Mechanics on here?
Former Ford mechanic here. Not too much can cause a P0304. You already did the ignition side of things. Next thing to do is what Missionmtman says, and swap cylinder 4's injector with another one. If the code follows the injector, there's your problem. If not, break out the compression tester and prepare for things to get ugly. The Ford 3.8 engines had headgasket issues in earlier versions, but not on the Mustangs. Cylinder 4 is the driver's side front most cylinder, as I'm sure you are aware. Very accessible.

Gun Sales Explode as Election Looms
When a business finds itself having that kind of problem, it generally runs the production line on three shifts, 24/7. Or builds another factory. Anybody hear any news about gun manufacturers expanding their production capacity?

Are there any shops that will "hold" your guns for you for a fee?
Safe deposit box at your local bank. Best bet IMO.

Cars
Cars? Yes, I have a few. '87 W100 Ram. Made it into a plow truck this season. Yes, the season where winter forgot to show up. At all. 318 4 barrel. Put a 600cfm Holley on it, the 2 barrel Holley really stunk. Now I get bad gas mileage. Oh crap. Here's some OLD photos of my '90 LX Mustang. Haven't had it out in years now. Ran a best of 13.42 at Atco back in 2005 or so. I'm a mechanic by trade, so that means I never work on my own cars, I'm always fixing everybody else's. Really sucks.

NJ vehicle inspection
Shop loses inspection license too in addition to heavy fines. Nobody does that anymore for that reason. Liability is way too high, and you really don't want Trenton pissed off at you, there's a lot of other things they can do to make a shop owner's life a nightmare.

Mosin Nagant In Central Jersey
200 for a Mosin? Better be a Finnish Mosin for that price. I have purchased two from Butch's in Vineland for $110 a pop in the past year. Last time I was there, they only had a single round receiver in stock though. Their milsurp selection is very slim, unfortunately. I find that its best to buy locally for Mosins, and get the ammo off the internet. $500 for an SKS is also really high. I was eyeballing some Yugoslav and Soviet ones at Bob's in Glassboro a couple months ago, I believe they wanted around $340-400ish for them, depending on type.

NJ vehicle inspection
Put cats on it. Wham bam, it'll pass. No reason to not run cats on a street car. Plus if you piss the cops off enough, they CAN gig you for tampering with a Federal emissions device (the cats). HUGE fines involved with that.

New Era of Police Vehicles
Seriously? 0-60 in five seconds? In a boat with an anemic TBI 350 engine in 1988? I'm calling bs, as there's no way that's true. Hell, the 1988 CAMARO didn't even do 5 seconds flat on the 0-60, it pulled a 6.9, and a quarter mile of 15.3!!!! http://www.zeroto60times.com/Chevrolet-Chevy-0-60-mph-Times.html Cars were SLOW in the '80s.

just sold my truck today
Oh man now that's gonna hurt when you need a truck for something. You don't know how damn handy a truck is until you don't own one.

Just bought a 4x4
Not a bad old truck for a beater. Put a 4" lift on it and fit some BFG 33's on it. Every truck I own has 33's on it. Something is wrong with me.

Much to my Chagrin...
Really? Mosin Nagants get tired for me after about 100 rounds, when my shoulder starts hurting so much that firing every round hurts a lot. I sure do enjoy that spam can surplus ammo.

1903 Remington BLOW-UP
I've heard the same thing, but have never had an Arisaka, so I can't comment on them. The Arisaka is a Mauser-type action, like most bolt action rifles. The Enfield I mentioned is a British design. Mauser was pretty much the only game in town as far as bolt actions go back then, besides Enfield and Mosin-Nagants. Lots of armies used Mauser-style rifles.

Sollena's on Delsea Drive in Sewell is pretty good. Right down the street from where I work too.

If you were me, what is the best bolt action you would buy?
As far as I am aware, 7.62 NATO and .308 Remington are the same exact cartridge dimensionally, the only difference is the powder charge and the bullet weight. Primer might be different, military ammo typically has "harder" primers compared to commercial ammunition.

Looking for a Mosin Nagant 91/30 in Northern NJ
If you see them listed for any more than $100-110, walk away. Damn near every gun shop has a few of those things lying around. Get a hex receiver if you can, and Tula if you can. More desirable. If you see any Finnish Mosins, those are MUCH better, and are worth a bit more. The most common ones are 1942-44 Izhevsks, they go for $80 online.

If you were me, what is the best bolt action you would buy?
Price is no object? In all seriousness though, get something in a common chambering, like 7.62 NATO. Plenty of used Model 70's gathering dust on store shelves.

So if a republican becomes President do guns/ammo get cheaper?
Only if that Republican happens to be Ron Paul. The rest of them are all hypocritical snakes.

1903 Remington BLOW-UP
That's a late reciever, as noted. Early ones were cast prior to and during WWI. Heat treat issue was solved by the time that war was over. You can also tell by the stamped magazine plate, early ones were all milled. The M1903 is basically a copy of the old 2 lug Mauser action, and is not particularly strong. You can see the crack in the side of the reciever where the locking lug ripped the reciever apart. The safety lug at the back of the bolt did it's job, and held that bolt in place! Otherwise it would have blown rearward into his face. Tell him that if he wants to use an old American battle rifle to fire hot 30-06 handloads through, to use a M1917 Enfield. The action in that is absurdly strong, and has been used for decades to fire belted magnum cartridges out of.

Looking for a New Range to Replace Hague's
USANA doesn't have any absurd rules. They are safety conscious, so no goofing around. They don't allow anything other than paper targets either, though I might take some tin cans with me next time I go. My feeling is nobody will care as long as I take the cans with me when I leave. You must have gone through the safety course with one of their instructors to use the indoor pistol range, and guests are NOT allowed to use the indoor range, authorized members only. I only use the outdoor ranges myself, so that's a non-issue to me. As for being "black-rifle" friendly, I don't think anybody would care. I wouldn't personally know though, everything I take there is the color brown and blued or parkerized steel. Combat rifles, etc. There's a good collection of hunters that use the place, they don't shoot that fast. I got some looks one time when I was firing my M1897 shotgun one time, it doesn't have a trigger disconnect. So it fired as fast as I could rack the slide, lol. Easy way to blow through 5 shotshells.
