Welcome to the Mosin club! They are really historically interesting rifles, and fun to shoot! I clean mine same day as I shoot. Wet one patch with water, run it down the bore, then go to patches with Hoppe's no.9 and continue and clean like I would with any other firearm.

I agree with Pizzabob, you need to post plenty of photos of the gun as well as the scope, concentrating on any markings and numbers. True K98 sniper rifles are rather rare, all are valuable, and some are crazy valuable! There are plenty of fakes out there also!

The action looks like that of a English Snider-Enfield rifle. Cannot explain the Zulu markings or Belgian proofs. May be a sporterized/converted military rifle that was made into a shotgun.

Sarco in Easton, PA. usually has Mosin's for $95-$99 but I believe they were all round receivers. If you want to see them before buying, try some of the gunshows in PA. I think I saw some Hex receiver Mosin's at the Split Rock show last weekend in the $120-$130 range.

I never shot, but held a Franchi 48AL. Seems to be a nice pointing, light handling 20 gauge. I think they go for AROUND $1,000.

A NJ dealer can only sell/transfer you a gun that is NJ legal. I believe they could do some modifications such as pinning a collapsing or folding stock so that it doesn't, or cutting or pinning magazines so that they can hold no more than 15 rounds. Those modifications of course will cost $. What gun in particular are you looking into? If you tell what it is, you may get a better answer.

The Smith and Wesson .38's are great guns (models 10,15,67 and such). Look up Bud's Gun Shop on the internet, they recently had model 10 police trade in guns in very good condition for $269.00. The Colt Official Police and Police Positive are good choices also, but will be more difficult to find and more expensive, probably looking in the $400-500 range for a nice one.

My .223 has a 1/8 twist barrel and shoots Fiocchi 62 grain FMJ great. That is at 100 yards, and if shooting longer distances something in the 68-75 grain is probably better. Prvi Partisan makes some good and relatively inexpensive .223 match in 69 and 75 grain bullet weights.

Either that, or she is a politician!

Was up at Cherry Ridge today. The pistol range was closed. There was some type of work going on. Don't know when it will be open.

I think the chart that you posted is all the proof I need. If you notice, .357 Sig, .40 S&W, and .45 auto all have much larger wound channels than the 9mm. That indicates more shock, trauma and tissue injury, and that is what ceases threats. Iam done. Have a nice day everyone!

Some of the best trained and experienced operators such as Navy Seals, Marine Force Recon, FBI Hostage Rescue Team, and LAPD Special Operations Division still issue and use 1911's in .45. That says alot to me! A single .45 well placed will drop someone just as well as 2 or 3 similarly placed 9 mm's. If my life depended on it I would take a .45 with ball ammo over a glock with any 9mm!

Number 1: Give verbal commands for them to drop the gun, knife, club, and leave. Number 2 : They attack you, you should probably shoot them, although you should be prepared to be treated like a criminal and be sued.But at least you and your family would be safe, that's number one! Number 3: Same response as number 1.

Just don't buy anything tasco. They are crap. I have an inexpensive simmons on one of my .22s and it is a great scope for the money (around $40 or so).

Answers I use a target stand I purchased from them. I think it was 15 or 20 dollars a few years ago, may be more now. Magazine, go ahead and load up all 15 as it is permitted. Double tap drills and "somewhat" rapid fire are allowed. I believe in their range rules it states "No RECKLESS rapid fire". That is open to interpretation by the ever present range officers. Chamber flags can be pruchased from them for a few bucks. I guess you can make your own as long as it is visible when inserted.

You mentioned you liked the Sig P226, but may have not wanted an all metal gun. Sig also has polymer framed guns, I believe they are the Sigpro and/or P250 line. As for triggers, most manufacturers have DA/SA and DAO options whichever you may prefer.

Yes, of course you are required to update your FID card within 30 days, however it may take the town much longer than that to process the application and issue you a new card with the current address. I had this issue last time I moved, I let the gun I had ordered sit at the dealer until both my drivers license and FID card matched. Just remember, you live in NJ, maybe it is or maybe it isn't permissable to purchase a gun without having the adresses matching on both ID types, but is it worth it to risk it and possibly get jammed up for an unlawful transfer. I did contact the State Police and ask if it was permissable and got no response.

I don't think you will see any gun law reform in NJ done by politicians unless they are forced by the courts. Our governor is no help either, although Iam sure when he does decide to run for natioanl office he will magically come out as an NRA life member and supporter of gun rights like all the other politicians do!
