If he was using colorful speech , he could have ended that whole thing just by saying " KIDDING , I would not shoot someone over spit!" "Bust a cap" use to be a popular saying when my brothers were younger. Might still be ((shrugs)) I remember one brother telling me that my dad caught him doing something and he said " dad busted a cap over it!" My dad has no guns. Anyway , when he said it I thought he meant an aortic dissection or something lol Unfortunately it sounds like this young guy really does have a firearm and is not afraid to smack talk about it. Not good son , not good.

Thank you I'm going to bid on this stock : http://www.ebay.com/itm/180824408378?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648

Thanks I'm waiting to bid on this take off stock : http://www.ebay.com/itm/180824408378?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2648 I have to have a stock cut down for me - another member offered to do it for me ( super nice thing to do ! ) I love the stock on this..it does have 1 good scratch in it though. I plan to have that fixed. I don't know , if I decide the rifle will be mine for the long haul and will be given to my kids one day , I may alter this original stock. My daughter is 5 1/2 , 29 pounds and 39 inches tall. I don't see her breaking 5 feet tall as an adult either. Anyway , the value of keeping this stock whole would be for other people to enjoy shooting it. So if the altering of the take of stock works , and I decide to grow old with this gun in my collection , I will alter this unique stock too. It is just a factory stock I think. It just was made out of a piece of wood with a real nice pattern.

That is great ! Can't wait to have my kids involved.How old was he when he first tried shooting ?

Ah , I'll be going daytime. I have to be home in North Arlington for my son's school bus by 3pm. I'm going to check out Brick Armory and Shore Shot. Maybe join if I see any benefit to being a member. I thought I read they have member only weekend a.ms ?

Thanks Do you ever go to Shore Shot during the week? I'm going Tuesday barring any kid related issues like a sick day or something.

How exactly does the law read? I can't find it here , internet search just yeilds the words on transporting into , through nj .

Well , as remote the possibility , I can't risk 5 years in jail. So I won't be lunching or visiting . Or , I'll just bring the long guns. Ridiculous. Thanks for all the advice guys

Thanks! I really appreciate it , but I will insist on compensating you. That is super nice of you PM your address and I'll ship you a stock. I'll buy one on amazon . Can the black ones be cut down? Ah , the pipers. I grew up in Kearny

The original stock is so nice too..I need like an inch off of it. I would actually sell the rifle , but it has a small amount of sentimental value to it. Small , sentimental value. Small. Kpd - bagpiper?

Thank you Pete Actually , is there a way to accurately measure the length of pull a person should have / would need for their rifle?

And now I am glad I did not announce buying a new revolver until it is in my hands and I have pictures ready lol

Or the strikeforce package at the bottom. The only nagging thought I have is this - if it is banned by name with the folding stock , and you have the folding stocked modified so it no longer folds , is is STILL a banned rifle by name? If so I would get an adjustable that does not fold. And have it pinned.

Is that bad too? Should I skip the dress part ? lol I have never seen a stock like that , what would one use it for properly? Just curious It probably would not solve my issue anyway as Bob pointed out. I'm leaning towards the package I posted about , The ultimate stock and aluminum upgrade package. If it all checks out. I'll bring it all to a gunsmith since I am pretty newb .

Ok , yes then it is a flash hider. How do you get it off if it is a slide on? And will that mess up the sights when I put it back on? Yeah , I'm gunsmithing this one , best to do it that way.

Thanks Bob! Yeah , I will not be doing anything to that stock , it will be put away . It is a really nice stock It really is just a teeny bit too long. You have seen my trigger reach problems , so you know what I mean. We're talking an inch here.

I am really liking the bullpup stock. That , with a muzzle brake pinned ( which I may already have , I'll have someone look at it for me) would be NJ legal? Scroll down to see the bullpup stock http://www.gunaccess...i1430/index.asp Or the Ultimate Stock and Aluminum upgrade package..which the contents won;t paste and display here for some reason.

Uh , just looked at a mini 14 muzzle brake. It looks just like what I thought was a flash hider on my gun gun. Can someone tell from the pics in the link I supplied in the first post? Just looked again , they look so similar..I guess I don't know what is on my gun . If I cropped into it for a bigger pic , would anyone here be able to tell?

So it is not like a high capacity mag then , which they won't even ship to NJ ? And if I get a bullpup stock , can I still have a muzzle break pinned on? It would all go to a gunsmith anyway , since I need to do something about the flash hider no matter what stock I pick , because of the pistol grip. I think lol Thanks for your help.

I have to have all that sent to a gunsmith though , right? Willing to do that for sure. They have a bullpup stock for it..hmmm

I tried reading the laws posted here , but it is confusing to me :/ I love my mini 14 , but it is a tad too long for me. I want a shorter stock . I know it is banned with folding/adjustable stock , but can I have the stock shipped to a gunsmith and have it NJ legal? Or is there another adjustable stock that can be made nj legal ? Or , does making it short enough for me make it illegal even if pinned , because then it would be too short period?? And it seems all the stocks come with a pistol grip ..I have a flash hider on it so a pistol grip would be a no no . Can I take the flash hider off?? Or do I still have to change out the barrel since it will be threaded ?? Sorry for all the questions , it is very confusing . I guess it is ok for a 6 foot tall dude to shoot that gun , but if it gets mods so a 4 '11 woman can shoot it comfortably everyone's then in danger :/ There are pics of it in this thread http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/31788-just-picked-up-a/ Anyone WTT a build for it ? lol only half kidding. I like the .223 caliber , and the gun is beautiful ..nice tiger strip wood , stainless barrel , I shoot it well it just takes me some time to shoulder it up and site it ..it is just a bit too long for me.

I called on mine week 7 , left a polite message that I just wanted to know that my references replied and also said I wanted to sign up for training that required I had my own handgun ( which was true) , so I was wondering what the timeline on the permit would be and should i feel confident signing up for the class , etc.

Just crossed my mind..if you are a member at SS , can you locker a gun there?

90? Good job man. Good for him. Glad he was not killed and very glad he had the opportunity to defend himself and his home. .

What is the penalty anyway ? Curious. Let's just say I broke no other law. Hypothetical situation: I drop the baby off at 9:45 am , then go to SS and shoot from 10 to 11. I am back at my dad's at 11:15 , go inside , gather the baby's stuff , have a cup of coffee and a bagel. Leave my dad's at say 12:30. Go to the intersection of Rt 70 and Chambers Bridge rd and get rear ended ( that already happened to me a few years ago) . For whatever reason the officers who respond notice my firearms. Unlikely since I keep the handguns in their factory cases inside a zippered backpack bag , but let's just say they do. I show them my paperwork and tell them I was at SS , picked up my baby , and am on my way home. They ask " you stopped to drop off and picked up your baby , so you did not go directly to the range and back , that is not reasonable deviation" I am then charged with what? And the penalty for said charge is what? As an afterthought , even if my backpack went skittering across the road it would not scream " I have guns in here" Only the long guns would be obvious in their cases . Jeez , ironically maybe I should leave the long guns home because they would easily cause questions more so than a plain backpack.
