Thank you, that's what I thought. It's ironic/sad that the guy from PA knows more about NJ law than I do.

I would love to shoot a big fifty one day. The trigger on this feels real good, less travel than an Accu-trigger. The .308 version is listed at 8 pounds 10 ounces.

The rifle in question has none of the above. It's simply a semi-auto with a removable magazine. I would have thought that it would be fine, but I'm getting conflicting answers. The brake in question slips over the muzzle and is secured by a roll pin. I simply was curious if I should tack the roll pin in place to make it non-removable.

The original sight is removed, this slides in place and is pinned in place. If you wouldn't do it, can you thread a barrel and do the old-fashioned pin and weld?

I still want a Savage Precision Carbine in .308.

I've been looking for a target/coyote rifle for a little while and had considered either a Savage Precision Carbine or a Mossberg MVP. I went to the local shop to browse and just before leaving I noticed something with an interesting laminated thumbhole stock just poking out from behind another rifle or shotgun. I asked to see it, put it to my shoulder and it just felt right. It was a Browning X Bolt in .223. They had a special, buy a Nikon scope and get free rings, so along came the Nikon 4-12x P223. Sad thing is I won't get to shoot it for a week or two.

I have read that extra weight on the end of the barrel can help improve accuracy slightly by helping the barrel harmonics. And because it looks cool.

Browning X bolt in .223 and a Nikon P 223 scope. Not really a Black Friday purchase, I had left a deposit a while ago and I happened to pick it up yesterday.

I'm confused too, I was asking about a muzzle brake for my Mini 14 and got all sorts of replies that it looks like a flash hider. Heck, it doesn't even thread on, it slips over the muzzle, replaces the front sight, and gets pinned in place.

Was yours phoned in or faxed in? 5 hours ago would be lunch time on Black Friday, on a day when I'm sure some of the NICS checkers took off. Not surprised it would take a bit longer, all things considered, but that seems excessive. Maybe the gun shop misplaced your number?

Mine took maybe 10 or 15 minutes today.

Congrats on the new homestead. The riding in PA is so much better than NJ too. Lots of legal dirt to ride the GS on, you'll love it.

Better pic than in add

I'm pretty sure this is GTG, just need verification. I want to add this muzzle brake to my Mini-14. The barrel is not threaded, so I wouldn't need to install it permanently, correct? The rifle is in stock configuration. No pistol grip, detachable mag is the only "evil feature". TIA.

Congratulations to the two ladies! I've often thought of doing an iron butt ride, but 500 - 600 miles per day seems to be my limit lately. By the way Millsan, it was nice meeting you at Hunter a few weeks ago. Or should I call you Captain America? LOL.

I believe he rode an FJR 1300 that was heavily modded for long distance. He stopped by the Chatterbox one Thursday for bike night and pulled up alongside two chromed-out choppers. His ride was still caked with mud from the haul road. It made me chuckle watching the pirates trying to figure out what the mods on John's bike were all for. The fuel tank was enlarged to add several gallons, and also looked like he could have rested against it. It also had all manner of electronics attached to the bars, and I believe that it was the Hippo Hands that really threw them for a loop. RIP rider.

Not sure about the rest of it, but an SKS with a detachable magazine is on the banned list. If you can keep the internal magazine, maybe it's okay, but I'm no lawyer.

Not bad, but it needs a proper walnut stock. That would be porntastic.

Sorry to miss out today. Woke up not feeling too good. Later on I felt a little better and went gun shopping.

This thread is a disaster.

So where'd you end up going?

One more thing to add, The Chatterbox in Frankford, intersection of 206, 565, and 15 has bike night on Thursday. Usually starts 5:30 or so and some of us locals have closed the place on many occasions.

To get out of Morris County, take Landing Rd out of Ledgewood. When you get to the lake turn left. After the state park turn left at the light. Enjoy the twisties until you have to turn right onto 605. Continue until the next light and turn left on Maxim drive. Turn right onto Roseville, and continue to end. Turn left at end and then a right onto 517. Then enjoy any of the following roads: 23 north of Sussex 519 521 Clove Rd River Rd Most of the county roads here in Sussex County are pretty decent for motorcycles. Just look at the map ahead of time for the curviest roads. If you have time, visit Mastodon Ammo in Vernon, and Simon Peter in Andover. Edit to add, there are a couple of roads going to Mastodon that are an absolute blast to ride.

I should be there. I'll bring a 20 if the nOObs want to shoot one.
