Looking for opinions on Subaru Forester or Outback
You're generalizing. This is what makes internet "information" dangerous. This was only an issue with their older 2.5 liter 4 cyl. engines. 2013+ models replaced that engine with updated version, and issue is gone.

Looking for opinions on Subaru Forester or Outback
Somewhat relevant, but I've owned several older model Subaru's (2 legacy's). Bullet proof all the way, and nothing short of hood-high mounds of packed snow could stop them. One of the two Legacy's was a $500 beater station wagon I bought from a carpenter who used it as his NYC work vehicle. I purchased it with 150K miles on the clock. He beat it up pretty badly, and the suspension was done a long time ago. That thing lasted me 3+ years before I decided to upgrade. Started every time, and never left me stranded. Honestly, kinda wish I kept that little beast until it died.

Pelican Case Foam Replacement
Hmm, what if I setup a foam cutting station, and sold pre-cut foam for the 1720? Priced $25 for a set?

Pelican Case Foam Replacement
You could, i guess... but that would be an expensive cutting tool!

Pelican Case Foam Replacement
I'm currently trying to get a feel for the interest in replacement Pelican Case foam. Through a reliable source, I'm able to get blocks of foam which are identical to the foam included with our Pelican cases. The type of foam is Identical, the size and dimensions are not. This foam replacement would be for the DIY folks out there. Not a drop-in replacement. The Plus? I can sell these foam blocks for the equivilent of half the price of OEM Pelican foam. Example: $30 for the 1720 case replacement (a bit more for the larger cases) Again, the dimensions are not the same, and you would need a Hot Needle, or some kind of automatic knife to cut the foam down to the desired size/shape. I would sell enough foam to fill the case top-to-bottom. You would be responsible for cutting the foam. See below for details. As you can see, some of the blocks have minor imperfections. None that would effect protecting your valuables. Foam Block Size -- 4" x 4.5" x 15 3/4"

Need help identifying this found revolver.
Looks like an H&R Top-Break, Small-Frame revolver. Also, possibly an Iver Johnson. https://bluebookofgunvalues.com/Gun_Values/Manufacturers/HARRINGTON_RICHARDSON_INC/Categories/HARRINGTON_RICHARDSON_INC_Top_Break_Revolvers_1885_1952?id=HARRINGTON_RICHARDSON_INC_Top_Break_Revolvers_1885_1952 From my research, anything H&R made prior to 1941 has no documentation. Best source of information is a $90 book on H&R firearms, written by Bill GoForth: http://www.gunshowbooks.com/cgi-bin/webc.exe/st_prod.html?p_prodid=HandRBook&sid=M16t9N0B Take the grips off. Some of the earlier Top-break revolvers had the serial number on the frame, under the grips.

Winchester 94 AE "Trapper" Lever-Action, 357 Magnum
Unfortunately, I don't have pre-64 money to spend. Why would you pass? Just the price? If so, what would you offer on this rifle?
-
Winchester 94 AE "Trapper" Lever-Action, 357 Magnum
Wondering if anyone has some tips or feedback on this rifle. I'm considering purchasing it from a vendor who has this on consignment. They are asking $875. I know nothing about lever-action guns. Don't have the serial number yet. Let me know what you all think of the below, and whether it's worth the asking price. ** Will upload more pics shortly.

COLT Single Action Army - Getting a tune-up
True, but I'd hate to break it or make an existing condition worse.

COLT Single Action Army - Getting a tune-up
Does anyone know a top-notch gunsmith, who specializes in COLT Single Action Army revolvers? Just picked-up a Gen2 Colt SAA, and need someone trustworthy to handle my baby. MUST be in NJ, since I do not want to deal with FFL transfers and whatnot. I would like an overall cleaning/tune-up, to bring the gun to top shooting condition.

GunBroker.com...Is it worth buying from here?
For me, it would be worth it when A) I couldn't find what I'm looking for anywhere else. B) I didn't care about throwing money away.

P2P problems with NJ township. Need assistance!
Reference check for my original FID address change, and my last P2P were mailed. Since the new digital, online background check, it looks like my town has switched to phone calls. Speeds-up the process somewhat.

P2P problems with NJ township. Need assistance!
Update: So After calling some lawyers, calling the chief of police, and generally getting completely flustered, I decided to simply call the detective and ask him what happened with my references. The detective was very helpful, and helped me realize that reference #1's number had been disconnected. Sure enough, my buddy confirmed that his company changed his cell phone just a week or two ago. The detective told me that he left a message with Reference #2, and he never called him back. Ref#2 told me that's B.S. etc. ,etc. Guess what, I goofed and made a typo on his phone number in the original application. The detectvie simply needed me to come back in and provide him with a new form (just the 1 page) with good phone numbers. Within 30 minutes of calling him, I showed-up with the updated form. The detective told me he'd call the next day between x and x hours. Sure enough, the very next day, both my buddies confirmed the call within minutes of each other. I screwed up, and due to paranoia, ASSumptions, and some poor advise, I automatically placed the blame on my PD. I was literally on the phone with lawyers, prepared to goto legal war, all because of a typo and bad circumstance. So in the end, the lesson is don't be paranoid, and don't assume the worst that every cop is out to get you.

My references were contacted for my FID, and my last P2P application. Unfortunately, the old Detective retired. Nice guy.

Great advice... until the Detective you're dealing with is a prick who likes to play games with people's constitutional rights, and deny you 'cause you called too many times...

This will be my phase2. I've called my PD and made an appointment to speak with the chief. Officer who does the appointments told me I should hear back within 48 hours. Also send an email to NJ2AS, explaining the above.

Good advice. Thank you.

I was already going to try and speak with the Chief. Making an appointment is a great idea. What exactly should I say to the chief? I want to make sure I use the right words, and don't piss him off. What will NJSP do? I also called them during this wait, and the lady I spoke with told me they have no input on the application process. She directed me back to the Detective.
