Thanks. I'm looking forward to it as well. C

What he said. C

Sent Lautenberg and Menendez an email thru the NRA site urging them to support HR-822. Lautenberg didn't even give the courtesy of a reply. I guess when you've been in office that long AND you have as much money as that family does, the little people don't matter. Not that I even remotely believe that Menendez will be anywhere near my side on this matter, at least he had one of his "bots" send out a response. That matters in my book. Response follows: Dear Mr. Morris: Thank you for contacting me to express your support for H.R. 822, the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you about this important issue. As your Senator, I strongly defend the rights of citizens to own and use firearms responsibly for recreational purposes or protection of one's home and family. At the same time, I vigorously support efforts to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and gangs who wish to use them against society. In order to ensure the safety of our communities, we must prevent criminals from purchasing firearms. The National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act would provide a national standard with which non-residents of a State may carry concealed firearms in that State. On this, as with any other issue, there are many different views. While there is no similar legislation to that of H.R. 822 in the Senate at this time, please be assured that I will keep your views in mind if such legislation is introduced. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I invite you to visit my website (http://menendez.senate.gov) to learn more about how I am standing up for New Jersey families in the United States Senate. C

The MSH came with no checkering. Mostly, for me, it's purely aesthetics. I just want a smooth pistol. Nothing more than that. If I wanted traditional, I would be building a Mil-Spec clone. Not my cup of tea. Also, I find that "grip" comes mostly from the grips themselves. Especially at the range where this will live. Thanks for the criticism, btw. I don't mind being challenged. It's the exchange of ideas and taste that makes places like this fun for me. C

Got the MSH fitted and mostly smoothed out. Have a little more to go, but I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I emailed Bob at Fusion today to find out about some of the other parts. Will order them as $$$ allows. C

I know the trigger guard is plastic along with a few other things. Whatever... He'll be psyched. FWIW, the target gun would be for me, not him. C

Scroll down this sub-forum and Tony357 did a tutorial on switching out KImber sights. Make sure you buy Kimber sights as they have a proprietary cut. I am going to swap out my front myself. Good luck regardless of which way you go. C

Thanks. Can't wait to give it to him. Most likely gonna wait until his birthday in April. C

Hey Blksheep, cool piece. GSG? C

Hey all. I have finally figured out what I want and now need to save a bit. I am looking at the Savage Lightweight Varmint in .223 (not the T or Walking version) or the Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .223. I like the barrel on the Remmy, however I like the stock on the Savage and I hear really good things about the Accutrigger. That being said, the 700 action, from what I understand is the benchmark. We'll see. C

PM sent to IrishPetesWife. C

In Bergen Cty? Most likely not a snowballs chance... My kid posted a pic on his facebook of him holding a properly cleared shotgun that is owned by a friend of mine. He had to go for a psych. eval. to prove that he is not a danger to himself or others. He is 11 and was properly supervised by an adult while holding it. I took the pic, so obviously nothing covert was happening. So, the chances of a rifle team seem kinda small. That being said, he just completed the NRA class at Tenafly and will continue shooting there on wednesday evenings. C

I love my Kimber. C

I do have a scope on the way, however he will be shooting iron sights for a good bit before he gets to use it. C

Where did you see that? C

I'm not recoil shy. I guess I should have put a qualifier at the end of that sentence. I LOVE big guns. They are a lot of fun to shoot. It was a joke. I want a 45-70, but really don't see the need for it in my current situation. So, I'll stick with small, fun guns that my stepson won't mind shooting as well. I also should mention that I'm not a fan of the "Tacti-Cool" mall ninja stuff. I like a slightly more classic look. C

...I've started looking at rifles. I just bought my kid a 10/22 and the thought of reaching out a little further that my HG can seems like a good way to spend a day. So, now I am seriously considering saving up a little coin and getting a long gun. Gonna be a hot minute as I am financially challenged at the moment. But I am starting the process by obsessively looiking at every single manufacturers site that I can find. What I am looking for is something that can go out to 150yards with decent ease. Not looking for a mile and a half type of thing. Would like to keep the caliber in the smaller range as I need to use my arms for work and don't want a bruised shoulder. I'm thinking 22.250, 204 Ruger, or 5.56/.223. I really like the look of a grey or black laminate stock with a stainless barrel (think the Savage 93-17 BVSS), but won't limit myself to a particular firearm just because of aesthetics. I would like to stay under 700 dollars as well. Like, well under. But, if need be I'll save a little longer. I also realize that I will need to deal with ammo and glass, but that's another discussion. Any help and/or suggestions will be appreciated. C

I was just at RTSP the other day. I found the range and the waiting area (which I waited in for an hour and a half) to be very nice. The selection for sale was very small. Rental inventory was good. Ammo prices are PURE RAPE!!! I mean, I know they need to make money, but taking advantage of people is complete b.s. I will not be returning for that very reason. It turned what could have been a phenomenal day into one I don't want to repeat. So, for me, I would love something with decent lighting and ventilation and a lot of ports. Maybe, if it's feasible, make one side for long guns and one side for handguns. Fast, knowledgeable service. Onsite, conscientious 'smith. And realistic pricing. I mean seriously... 25 dollars for a box of 9mm that they force you to buy if you're renting. Maybe 18-20, but 25 is a frigging insult. Maybe it's just me. I don't know. I would also like to see some kind of outdoor long range someplace a little closer, which might be a dream. Or, a 100 yarder indoors. There are a lot of old factories sitting unused in the JC area. My wish list. C

Anyone on here shoot one? Thinking about one for me since I got the kid a 10/22. I like the thought of a snotty-fast little projectile that is apparently quite accurate and a ton of fun to shoot. Looking at a long gun. Post your pics. C

I'm a newbie builder and I'm in Bergen Cty. I just picked up a kit from Fusion that I am quite happy with. I had them fit the slide to the frame, the bushing and barrel. I also eschewed convention and went with 9mm. So far, I have to say that it's not brain surgery, however it's not easy. Most likely NOTHING will just "drop in" which I learned when I put the mag release in. Just go really slowly and don't ever start filing before you think. Also, it's very easy to take material off, not so much to put it back. And no, it's not the cheaper option to build vs. buy. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I'm not the best but I'll help where I can. Now I just need more money to get the rest of the build underway. C

Cool. Thanks for that. I like it. C

Hey Alec. He's going to be 12 in 2 months. And, I did think about the one round at a time thing. I can just make him load the mag one at a time if he gets too trigger happy. That'll slow him down. FastD, as for him using anything other that what I am giving him, that's going to be his call. He can make mistakes and learn from them. C

Hey FastD. Thanks for that. I think he will be looking at the Archangel MP5 looking thing. Not my cup of tea, but that's fine. The rifle is something that I want as well. I would like the Target model, however. Not just a good looker, but shoots well, too. At least that's what I hear. Maybe when he "outgrows" it... C

Just picked him up a 10/22 stainless with black synthetic stock. Should be just fine for him as he's just gonna tear into it as soon as his birthday comes around and he has the $$$. We'll see which way he goes with it. Maybe I'll take him to a range on monday evening so he can get a feel for it. I also got him a used scope off another site. Should I wait to give him the whole thing? I don't know... I'll need to ponder that a bit. C
