Sadly, I've had that happen while out goofing around. Made for some good video.. from 130+ to 360* very, very quickly lol Ahhhh to be young and foolish with not a care in the world... I miss those days sometimes..

Pretty much, they do it for prize $. Everyone throws into a pot, winner collects the pot. It's an "exclusive" invite only club. Kinda have to prove you have the balls to do it and one of them has to notice it. Brings it to the other members and see's if you can be invited.. So I've heard.. I'm pretty sure it's not that club. That's kinda like a time share for fancy cars. Anthony from O&A belongs to that club... As for the covering the plate, I think it's $45 or something and that's it. I've gotten a few of them back in the day.. A simple license plate cover can get you this ticket. Can always use the excuse "I had it blocked for pictures that were being taken while at a car meet and must've forgotten to take it off" A lot of people call it "Blasting" as well.. You'll find some videos if you look under that I'm sure..

Curious.. has anyone tried running their fingers through it with dirty hands? What happens if you literally have blood on your hands, a lot of sweat? Will it register and open? I wouldn't want to take that chance..

Search YouTube.. Plenty of videos of these guys all over..

Ill come back to this later with some more comments. I passed on an invite (challenge?) from a member of I believe the Northern NJ "chapter" of these guys. I wanted a "fun run" he wanted a 10k payout. I sure as hell don't have that loot so nothing ever came of it..

This has been going on for years.. Now it's a big deal? Sounds like someone got left out to me.. And yes, it has. There is an extremely private forum for these guys and they set these up all over NJ/PA/NY.. Truely surprised it has taken this long.

Thanks. I considered taking it to have it hot tanked at a machine shop but wasn't sure if that would play any part in something going wrong.. I'll soak it in oil like the internals for now, and see if it will come off some.. Looking forward to more ideas and input!

I've got my Stevens 410 stripped down to nothing. All the guts out, etc etc. What is are your tips ideas for cleaning this bad boy up and making it a killer looking (functional) wall hanger?? Any and all ideas appreciated. Furniture for it is currently lent out to a friend that restores antique woods and he's trying to clean them up and match the stains. If he can't I'm probably going to purchase new wood and do them nicely. I'm not worried about retaining value (the gun is worth nothing) I'm not worried about the work I do being more then the value of the piece. I'm looking for a nice looking old school functional wallhanger to go over the door of the "Armory" as I've come to call it.. Also, if anyone knows anywhere or anyone that can do a synthetic stock/foreend for this shotgun I'd be thrilled to have that! Everything for the frame is also Steel (assuming?) Trigger guard, Trigger, Locking mechanism etc The Barrel is in similar condition to the frame.. also looking for ideas on that. Considering having the frame/barrel Duracoated but I dunno.. Need some ideas!

Looks great, I'll be calling you for tips when I get new furniture for the Stevens 410

I had to throw a zimmerman comment in there.. What morons..

This is NJ. You could be sitting in your living room and someone comes through the back door. If you shoot they will ask why didn't you retreat out the front door...

Ok thanks.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooow.... I've been on many an accident scene.. fatalities and all... I've seen quite a few really bad ones on video.. that was one of the top 5. I also agree though, no one felt a thing except the truck driver..

Can I just fill out the paperwork (Purchase Permit App & Mental Health form) leaving the dates and references blank along with the signature and make say, 20 copies? Then all I have to do, is fill in the dates, and the references, sign it and hand them in. Instead of writing it all out each time. I know, it's only 2 papers, but I'm lazy and it would be just easier..

I was there with you then. Me, you and your wife. Had a great time... I'm taking his 3 day pistol this week. Today was all the legal mumbo-jumbo, boring but necessary. Tomorrow and Sunday, RANGE TIME!

Monmouth County Rifle and Pistol? Where's that?

I'll go over the cost of it buying the solvents to clean it. I got it really really cheap. I'm not to concerned with going over the value. Don't get me wrong I'm not gonna dump $500 into it, but maybe $10-$200 or so if I need to get some new parts or have the metal refinished. I bought it as a wall hanger and for a project. My first "resto" if ya will..

Currently have it COMPLETELY stripped. Needs a complete cleaning, everything is gunked up badly. Going to soak the parts in a solvent and scrub the shit out of them. Then soak in oil, and reassemble!

Ok, here's the pics of the Stevens 410. Can anyone recommend a good place to check out refinishing tips?? Also, looking for new furniture for this thing.. Any ideas?

Pics and more details tomorrow. Couldn't bring it home in a company truck. Driving in tomorrow to pick it up after work.

I've bought from them with no issues.. So have quite a few friends.. Orders on time, no issues etc..

Picked up a Stevens 410/12MM today. Putting in for a purchase permit for a pistol as well!

Bought one today.. Any recommendations on where I can take it to make sure it's safe to fire? It wouldn't be much more then a wall hanger, but it would be fun to shoot once and a while. I'm looking to "restore" it to like new condition. I understand from reading some Google searches that this things pretty much a throw away type of weapon, but I thought it was cool looking and couldn't resist the price. Any one know anything about these little pieces of joy?

I'd get one as a joke, or novelty like someone else said.. I wouldn't dare carry it though. I did see some site, that engraves them with your state, permit # and all medical info on the back. I could see that coming in handy, but then again, I just carry a medical card..

35. Shot my first firearm at 6.
