I agree with Eric (usnmars), with the garands from CMP I have seen mostly shot out barely functional all the way to brand new looking fully correct with plenty of really nice collectable/shootable guns in between. I would expect the CMP 1911's will be the same.

DJG0770 has it right, it is an Arisaka, most likely a type 99.

They have already destroyed where they are from on their own. Sending cruise missiles would be a waste of money!

Too bad they are about 30-40 years late!

Your son will have to go to the courthouse and obtain a certified copy of the judgement. He will need a copy of that as any police job will probably ask about the disposition of any arrest and only that certified copy will be accepted as proof. As far as getting a police job, New Jersey is very political if he knows someone and they want to hire him it will be no problem, if the hiring department is looking for an excuse to hire the police chiefs daughters boyfriend or the mayors nephew, then they will use your sons arrest as a reason to not hire him and justify hiring others.

Post some photos, including any manufacturer, proof, and acceptance markings. I am sure there's some knowledge here that can tell you what exactly it is that you have

GoNRA, you state the following about knights "used for intimidation, protection, and to take over other peoples stuff with physical force" in this day and age knights are definitely attorneys and politicians. The force they use is not physical, but of the laws that they created.

Please invite Governor Chris Christie! After all, he is a supporter of the second amendment, but those pesky democrats get in the way! See if he will tell us all what HIS ideas are to reform the horrible NJ gun laws.

I use West 10 Tire on rt.10 in Randolph. I have never had a problem.

I would think you have justifiable need! Please apply for a concealed carry permit. The guy that threatened you/tried to kill you is crazy. Even if he goes to jail, and especially if he does, you don't know who else he knows that might try to hurt you. If they (the state) deny you, it is only one more thing making our state the laughing stock of the United States! This all needs to be documented and gotten out to the public in NJ and elsewhere.

Do plenty of research on what you want to buy, set a price you would like to pay and do not go over it( don't get involved in bidding wars). Also, it is safer to buy from long established sellers that have good feedback, although you may get a better deal from a newer seller. Find a good ffl to accept/transfer any firearms you purchase. Oh, one more thing, look for listings with plenty of photos and a good description, but don't fall for any bullshit in listing descriptions.

I have shot plenty of wolf and tula steel case through a few SKS rifles I own and have never had any problems at all. I have never shot steel case .223 through my AR type rifle, but I have personally witnessed two different shooters get steel cases jammed in the chambers of their AR type rifles that had to be forcefully pushed out with a cleaning rod! I wont use steel in an AR type rifle, but think its fine for an SKS or AK type. Others may have different results/opinions. I personally stick to brass cases for my pistols as well.

Brugger-Thomet MP9/ Steyr TMP?

From what I can see, I would say you did well paying $550 for that p38!

Thanks for checking my list Eric! Out of my list one rifle showed up. I have a 1.46 million serial # M1d Sniper rifle. My rifle was with FMF PAC HQ (Fleet Marine Forces, Pacific, Headquarters) in August 1951. FMF PAC HQ is in Hawaii, but during that time period much of FMF PAC was fighting in Korea. The rifle was probably still a standard M1 in August 1951 as most of the M1d conversions were done starting 1952. Pretty cool, the history these guns have!

If this was in New Jersey her father would now be facing felony charges for leaving a gun within easy access of a minor! The guy that tried to break in, if they found him, would probably plead guilty to trespassing and get a fine or other slap on the wrist punishment.

Modern Version of the P-38? Walther made them up until recently, as well as the P1,P4 and P5(different variations of the P38). I bought a brand new P5 (which is essentially a shortened P38) that was imported by Interarms around 1999-2000.At that time the P38 was also produced/imported as well. I am sure you could find a later production model of a P38 or one of it's variants for sale on Gunbroker without much difficulty.

It all depends on what you prefer. A Winchester was possibly used in World War 2 and/or Korea so if you like history that is a plus. However, field grades can vary greatly in condition, will have replaced parts, and you may get one with a barrel that is close to shot out, or you may get a good original Winchester barrel. It really is luck of the draw with field grades, and you could get a real dog or a gem! The HRA will also possibly have replacement parts, but since it is Service Grade, the barrel and overall condition should be really good and should shoot great! They are post WW2 and Korea, so they don't have that history, but who knows where they might have been for the last 60 years!

Without seeing photos of how much the "wear" is, a ballpark figure is $350-$650. The more worn, the less the value.

Cool photos. I just saw his post today (February 19) which also happens to be the 69th anniversary of the landings on Iwo Jima.

Thanks all for the great responses! Somehow I knew this forum would be a great source of information!

I was interested in going tankless if I do replace it. Will have to check to see if they have improved since you were looking 6-7 years ago.

Noticed yesterday my hot water heater is leaking. The leak looks like it is near the top. The pressure release valve on top has not popped, so I don't think it went over pressure. It seems as though there is accumulation of water by the top thermostat. I have turned the power to it off (it is electric) as well as the incoming water. I cannot figure it out, so I know I am going to have a professional look at it, so does anyone have any ideas what this problem is? Any recommendations for a repair guy in the Somerset County area? I bough my place in 2011 and I think the hot water heater unit is not much older than that, so it seems like a short life if it is done already.

I read a book a few years ago called "What If". It is a compilation of alternative history articles written by authors such as Stephen Ambrose, John Keegan and David McCullough and others and the stories cover the time period from 700BC up to World War 2 and The Cold War. Another good read is "The Moscow Option" by David Downing. It is about an alternative ending to World War 2.

Wow! Off to the Gulag with that instructor!
