You can get a 24/26/28" supernova for under that budget. I love my Supernova...I plan to get a second in 24" (I have the 18" open rifle pistol gripped model now). I've found that $600ish is at the bottom of the decent-ish O/Us, and not sure about semis, though I've seen some used semis for under your budget. but... I'd decide if I wanted a pump, semi, or O/U before making any purchase. It's not like you cannot use your 870 for the time being...and if you spend $600 now, then you might be having to wait a bit longer to get the gun your heart is really set on (though I'm not one to talk, since I have zero impulse control). Come out to one of the informal clay shoots (there's one this weekened, IIRC) and try out a bunch of guns, $100 shotguns to $2500+ shotguns often make appearances. Might help you narrow down your choices...

You should immediately dispose of those G22 magazines. If you ship them to me, I will gladly use destroy them for you, for a small disposal fee. Without any legal research or knowledge whatsoever*, I'd say that that little stamp of ".40" makes all the difference, as long as you're not [sitting and posting about] loading mags up with other calibers that fit and feed. That whole "intent" thing. *take from that whatever you will

Awww, darn

I too am running Firefox (35.0), and always have multiple tabs open. I head to another tab when NJGF starts bogging down, and those sites work normally (fast). I do the stop/reload thing sometimes, but it doesn't always work. It sometimes will work somewhat faster (probably because it's already loaded some of the components to load the page before I refreshed it), but just as often, it will just make me wait 5-15 seconds. Again, this is maybe 3% of the time I use this site, if that much. You just notice a lot more when suddenly you're back into the days of 56k page loading speeds...

Funny, I was gonna post about this earlier and got sidetracked. I've noticed a few times recently that the site "hangs" - it starts to load, I often get the site logo at the top of the page, then the rest of the screen is grey. It sometimes will eventually load (30+ seconds later), and sometimes will stay hung up. This site (again, the only site I have this issue with) has been acting like this a lot more recently - say the last 2 weeks. What happened tonight, it was acting very slow but eventually loading, but after clicking a thread, I then had to wait about 15 seconds to see the thread, and it loaded a few replies at a time, until it stopped loading about 2/3 of the way down the page. I left the computer and came back 15 minutes later and it was still trying to load the topic. None of these times it's done this have been particularly high-activity times, when I'm one of the only active users, and I'm on a 10Mb connection. This only happens on this website. As was said before, this isn't a complaint, just a heads-up.

You can change your display name all on your own...so maybe you CAN still do it!

Hope that Glock 22 or 23 mags are in the works, I could use a couple spares.

Sorry to somewhat hijack, but my Galaxy S5 had the built-in app for being a remote, and it was nice (if limited) until it started doing push notifications, so I disabled it. I tried looking for others, but many were either too basic for my needs or you had to pay for them, and I didn't want to pay just to try them. I'd love to hear suggestions for specific apps. My setup is....complex...

Least favorite is easily my Stevens 320 pump with the pistol grip and ghost rings. I wanted another shotgun, I'd had an interest in this model for a while, and I found one for a good price at a LGS. I wasn't expecting a lot...but it has still been quite disappointing. It has problems feeding fairly often...how can you screw up a pump shotgun? I've sent it back to the factory, and they improved it, but it still doesn't always feed properly. I have a GSG 522SD that - when it works - is one of the most fun guns I own. Problem is - it is a huge pain in the ass. It requires multiple tools for even "quick" disassembly - let alone if you need to fully take it apart. It gets dirty even quicker than my other .22s. It consistently has light strikes the second it gets dirty. I've had a few failure to feed issues. It is a blast to rip through a magazine quickly, and the gun is a lot more accurate than I'd have expected it to be, but it is simply a pain to keep running. All that said, I refuse to give up on it and still like it (not love it, like I want to). As for my Mosquito, people hate on em, but I like mine and it runs pretty well if you feed it right and broke it in properly.

My P226 was my very first firearm - purchased it within an hour of getting my FID. I always knew I wanted a P226, the store had one, and I purchased it. I do kinda wish I'd waited for one with night sights, the .40/.357, and/or an Elite model, but I still do love my P226 in 9mm. I've also got the Sig Pro 2022 9mm, which is another nice Sig, just not quite as nice as the P228/P229. I have not handled a VP9, so I can't comment... But I can say I've been very happy with the performance and reliability of my Sigs. I fully intend to eventually get a P220, P228, P229, P239, and/or M11 in the future, so I guess that tells you where my vote lies...

(wow, I swore this topic was a lot more recent than this...) After Candyman asked about those carnival-style red star airgun targets in another thread, I was thinking about sharing more of my custom targets. I get bored of the more common targets out there, so I often just print my own. I try to create stuff that will be slightly more challenging for me. (Often, I've been wildly optimistic about my abilities.) I also used to cram too many targets onto a single page, so I've gone back and modified some of the old targets for longer range shooting... I size my targets for use with my HP color laser, so the borders are rather narrow (usually 1/4" border) - possibly too narrow for some printers, but nothing too important should get cut off on those printers (I hope). The files are also typically exactly the dimensions of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, so your printer software may say something about the file being larger than the printable area. Just print the file actual size, otherwise the sizes on the pages will be inaccurate.

No problem, hope they work out for you. If you decide you want a specific size, 4x or even 6x on a sheet, let me know. Now that I have them made up, should only take a minute to redo. I'm going to post a thread with targets I've both found as well as a bunch I've made here: http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/63407-ideas-for-customs-targetssilhouettes/?p=940277

http://malice4you.com/images/realsteel/redstarssmall.jpg http://malice4you.com/images/realsteel/redstarslarge.jpg The above files are sized for 8.5x11" paper with 4 different sized red stars on each. The file named large has 2.5", 2.0", 1.5", and 1.0" wide stars. The file named small has 1.5", 1.25", 1.0", and .75" wide stars. They are made so that the printer will not cut off edges if printed actual size (though the printer may say it will not fit the paper size selected, you can ignore that), and then just cut the paper into quarters. I use very heavy 32lb premium paper when I print my targets so they last with multiple close/touching shots (not that *I* have that to worry about...). If you use lightweight, thin paper, you'll probably rip/tear up the targets quicker and the games may be over faster. I seem to remember the carnival targets being pretty flimsy paper.

Exactly three days, seventeen hours, and 13 minutes ago, I was at my parents' home in Terry's Point, NJ, celebrating a sort of late Christmas with my cousin, John Schweitzer, age 27, of Harleystown, NY, who had just returned from a vacation in Pelican Point, FL, where he had been staying at a Motel 6 for 2 weeks during his vacation from his construction job with AlConBill in Mercer County. At exactly 10:03, which I know because a new Mythbusters episode had just come on the Science Channel (channel 872), and Jamie and Adam were describing how they were going to bust a myth about exploding underwear, we heard a very loud bang from the basement, which is coincidentally the lowest floor of the light blue ranch-style home, located at 73 Smith road, on 1.75 acres, near the large oak tree over the dark green mailbox. 6.79 seconds later, we heard another bang, about 2.3dB louder than before. I said, "I'll go down and check it out!" I was carrying my Glock-17 Generation 3 RTF loaded with 15 rounds of Remington Golden Sabre 9mm 147grain rounds. My parents, (Alice and Howard Zismann), know I carry, as such they are fine with me doing it on their property, which is also my second legal residence. More details does not mean more real...

I own the Sog Seal Pup with a partially serrated edge and the dark grey powder coating and MOLLE sheath. I believe it uses AUS6 or AUS8 steel, so it's a half decent steel. It takes an edge and holds fairly well (I'm biased by owning many knives with better steels). Mine doesn't see heavy use, but I'd trust it for light to moderate duty without issue. I don't know how it'd fare with say batoning it through a log, but for normal knife use, it'd be just fine. For the $50-ish it cost me, I'm happy. I was annoyed that a month after I got my Seal Pup, I found the Seal Pup Elite for within $5 of what I paid. I believe the main difference is a better coating and the jimping on the spine. Found this when trying to find the differences between my Seal Pup and the Elite... http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/577134-SOG-Seal-Pup-Elite-review I've also heard good things about Mora knives fixed blades - but have no experience with them.

Oh, and watch for speed cameras...I forgot that they are in use in multiple places on the way down... Thankfully, I only saw signs about it, and don't know about it from firsthand knowledge in the form of a ticket in the mail.

See if you can get tickets in advance for spy museum. My GF and I tried to go last day we were in DC back around cherry blossom time, line forspy museum was around the damn block. Can't say if it is worth it - we didnt bother trying after seeing that line. We did hit up American History, Air & Space, Natural history, Botanical Gardens - all ones we both enjoyed. She wanted to go to Native American, so we did that instead of Spy. I personally didnt find it that interesting, just never really been my thing. I thought I heard NRA museum is near DC. Didnt really research beforehand, and didn't get to that either. Fucking traffic around DC made me want a tank to drive over idiots... Good luck, have fun. And avoid driving any times there might be traffic, like rushhour, or any other time, ever. And make sure you have no spent casings in the car/trunk in DC...I always find .22 casings in my footwell from my boots...

Go to APPS (not the homescreen), locate the app you want to disable, and press and hold on it til you get a toolbar on the top of the screen. Move the app to DISABLE. You then can re-enable the app through app manager's last tab. Slightly more work that a simple enable/disable, but should do the trick. I did this many times for built-in forced-on-you apps I can't uninstall. When this warranty is over, I really wanna root this thing... I just did this for something I keep forgetting to disable on my S5.

I'm definitely a desktop guy - but I do a lot of work on photos and graphics, some basic audio and video editing, and some gaming. For me, the inability to easily change components in a laptop is a major annoyance. I have quality components in the system, and can always upgrade components as needed. I'm at the mercy of the laptop manufacturer when it comes to the components in the system, and limited to a few ports, crappy onboard audio and video with a small display, and limited expansion with more expensive components. All that said, I like tinkering with my systems, and know how to upgrade and repair them. For basic use, a laptop or even tablet is likely sufficient for the majority of things you need a computer for. A laptop or tablet is nice for using in your recliner or in bed. I'd keep using the laptop you have until it no longer works the way you want. You might consider adding a tablet for quick and easy internet use and light gaming. I've considered adding a tablet for those times I want to relax and not deal with any of the computers.

I've got an Android phone, and I have Shooting Solution (the paid version, which allows me to save various ammo profiles). I've been quite happy with it. It has plenty of ammo profiles already loaded, and you can add and save custom profiles. I have loaded all the data I can find for ammo I use, like in my screenshot, that is the product code for a specific type of .17HMR I have. I have not used other apps, so it may be rather basic, but for a beginner, it has helped me out. There is a free version you can try before you get the pro version. If I remember correctly, you only can save one custom profile with it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.casey.ShootingSolutionFree&hl=en https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.casey.ShootingSolutionPaid&hl=en

Any suppose someone already has some residue on their WML - then what might you guys suggest to remove it?

Can't recommend a scope, but if the spotting scope has a crappy tripod - and most seem to - check yard sales, camera stores that take trade-ins, or thrift stores for used tripods. A used heavy-duty quality tripod can often be found for cheap. Bogen/Manfrotto seem to have a number of popular models that people have held onto. Just make sure to check that the tripod has the proper way to attach your camera (quick release plates tend to get lost) - most tripods use 1/4"-20, but some are 3/8". Store I used to work at probably had 3 or 4 people a week trying to unload their old tripods... Some tripods have a hook on the center column, which is used for a rock bag (or other weight) to lower the center of gravity. You might also be able to bungee a tripod to a shooting table/bench, so it is harder to knock over the scope. Some tripods also have legs that spread wider than the default width. I've seen some close calls with spotting scopes at the range...so be careful with whatever you get...

Ouch, hope you're feeling ok now... Question - with the Christmas lights on, does that ruin the picture with the video camera? Typically, with the lights on directly into the lems, you get the halo effect you see around the house light, or you get a really dark picture because the camera has compensated for the lights.. It also looks like the camera has focused on the light strand...

I had the change of address label for my DL when I applied for my FID/PPPs and when I did a number of purchases at various FFLs, no issues whatsoever.

I was at EFGA today, on the rifle range, finishing off a few random rounds of .22LR through my Henry H001 lever action, when I had my first squib. Heard a very quiet pop, held the rifle downrange for 30 seconds, and when I opened the action, out popped a spent casing. Got a cleaning rod from my range bag, and the damn bullet is stuck about halfway down the barrel. Since I had handguns with me, I couldn't go to a Home Depot on the way home (thank you for that, NJ!), so tomorrow I'll be going to pick up a brass rod. Funny thing is, it was the very last round from a 222rd box of Winchester 36gr HP...I know this because I'd finished up the box on the rimfire range, then while cleaning up, noticed I'd left a few on the table and threw them in a bag to shoot later on the rifle range. I'd taken a picture of the box so I never would buy that ammo again - it refused to cycle any semiauto .22 I own, but had worked fine in the lever and bolt guns. Any tricks or tips for removing the bullet from the barrel? Should I have gone back to the pistol range and thrown the gun over to the rimfire range? I hear that clears problems with guns.
