Nice, I picked up 250 rds of the Remington Game Loads in 7-1/2 and 8.

Thanks for the info. I like the charts that is available on the Geissele website. I'll take a look but I'm leaning towards the SD3G.

I looked into these when I built my AR. The only reason why I did not go with them was due to all the different types of triggers. I see a few have gone with the SDE or SD3G and I see the Hi-Speed National Match one. What would be a good one to go with and waht are the differences between these? These are kind of expensive to just buy one, try it and regret that you bought the wrong one.

Heh, my wife reminded me that I have a wedding that night to attend. She may decide to go to get a haircut instead so I may be free in the morning. I'm gonna have to go pick up some rounds and clays just in case. I finally shot my Benelli over the weekend at EFGA and have to say that shooting shotguns is addictive.

I was there today and there was a RO. He identified us as from NJ immediately based on the locks we had on our bags. The RO was very nice. It was super helpful to have a RO inform you of when the range is about to go cold. He inspected each rifle was empty and safe to ensure everyone was safe when they went down range to check their targets. After everyone came back, he checked with everyone to ensure they were happy with their targets and then informed everyone there that the range was hot. He also informed members of which station was empty and called the range cold so new members just coming in would have a chance to put up their targets. We were off to the side so we did not really notice when new people were showing up so it was helpful that he called the range cold. It is helpful to have knowledgeable ROs but 2 hrs of instruction seems awfully long. I have to admit that many people do not read the range rules. I think they should have just some quick signs with some basic rules. That would really help. An example is the sign about parking right outside the rifle range where you can only park there to unload or load your car or the one in the pit where you can only use shotguns or pistol calibers.

Forgot to mention that Heritage Guild in Easton had them in stock if you do not want to drive down to South Jersey. They can ship them to the either the Branchburg or Rahway branch for free. You can then do your NICS check there.

Any reason why you are competing with the SIG over the PPQ? Is it because the PPQ is in ESP class? I do use my PPQ for USPSA Production class. After putting well over 2k rounds thru the PPQ, I do have some quibbles with some of the sharp parts on it. When I grip the PPQ high, the mag release has a sharp edge that agitate the skin right to the left of my knuckle on my middle finger of my shooting hand. I would consider filing down the sharp edge but I didn't want to weaken the mag release. I assume the bluing would be removed which would also be unsightly. Also, when I'm just milling about waiting for my turn in a match, I have a habit of just resting my hand on the back of the gun. The back of frame has two sharp contact points that stick out. On my Glock, those points are covered by the slide on the PPQ they are exposed. I've kind of moved my hand away from there now. I just swapped out the stock sights with the Dawson sights. The rear sight on the Dawson is super sharp and has caught my forearm on a few occasions leaving these scratch marks. Other than that, I've been real happy with the PPQ. The trigger is great. I just wished they created a long barrel/slide version for competition usage. I will be forced to switching over to my Glock for competition soon as my son is interested in competing and he will be using the PPQ.

Aiming to be there tomorrow.

My wife complains about the guns already and is not a big fan of me owning guns though it is ok for her entire family to owns guns. Matter of fact, it is common place for every family to have a gun of some sort but they are in the middle of nowhere PA. I'd love to check out the different toys. There is quite a few different varieties present and I would really like to try clay shooting. It would also be good to meet and learn from other members as my shotgun experience is zero. I may decide to ask or I may go with "Uh, honey, I need to go out and pick up something..."

Darn, I would like to go to this. I just got my shotgun and wanted to try shooting clay. As of yet, the shotgun has still been unfired but I'm hoping to change this as soon as I can find some range time. This is the same day as my wife's birthday so I'm not going to bother asking for a hall pass. Have fun guys. Sounds like you are going to have a blast!

Darn classifier. We went with stage with the door and then straight to the classifier. We had 3 new shooters and they left immediately after the classifier thinking that this is ridiculously difficult. I got a chance to see Alec go with his revolver. I was going to say hi to the chinese guy with the cowboy hat but he was too busy RO'ing. Perhaps next time.

I may need to skip this one to stay out of the doghouse. Wife has booked a family outing with her friends even though I told her that first Saturday's of the month are off limits.

Definitely cannot do that. NYC has more tyrannical laws than NJ. I cannot even get large soda with Bloomberg telling me what to do. I like the special instructions. Perhaps I should address it to my garage which is completely detached.

No luck there. My wife is always home since she works from home. Occasionally, the UPS guy will just drop the package off on the front steps and not ring the door bell. I can then just grab the box but it is very difficult to sneak in a case of ammo. Wife: What's that? Me: (Me lugging heavy box) Uh, what's what?

I do the finances but my wife signs for all the deliveries. At some point, she is going to figure out why all these heavy boxes keep coming ot the door. It also does not make it easier on my finances buying all these stuff regardless of whether I did it or my wife.

Normally, when you pin the stock, you want to drill into the lower part of the buffer tube and drive a pin thru it. With some epoxy, you should be good. Problem with the STR is that the storage compartment is in the way. You can either remove the storage compartment so you can drill thru it but I thought it was a pain in the arse to do. Instead, you can fiddle with the locking mechanism so that it will no longer release and hence the stock is no longer adjustable. I've seen options of removing the plunger spring and then epoxy. I opted to stick a roll pin inside the hole. This now prevents the plunger from activating the release. You would need to remove some of the material on edge of the friction lock. When you lock the friction lock on the STR, you cannot see the roll pin and the material removed from the friction lock is barely noticeable. As for gunsmiths, there is no guarantee that they would do a good job. My buddy recently ordered an AR and had it delivered to a local FFL (I will not name who the FFL is). They removed the battery compartment, pinned the stock and applied epoxy. The battery compartment was installed wrong and was not comfortable when he tried to sight in his rifle. The only way to fix the battery compartment was to remove the stock. He was fiddling with it and the stock came off. He fixed the battery compartment but I would not say the stock is pinned if he can remove it in a minute without any tools.

I assume you got the PMC 9mm. Price dropped to 10.49/box. Even better deal now.

Signed up. I'll be the chinese guy not in a cowboy hat (most likely will be sporting my Yankees cap).

Thanks, just looked at that thread. I guess if all things are the same, I'll get if from Sarco's then. They have 5-6 in stock and were in good shape. It was the first time I got to handle one and they are really great. I just thought the ones sold by Classic were "original" which was why I was going to pay more from Classic.

They have M91/30 Refurbished Sniper Rifles with the original scope. I definitely want one but this is a hassle to call a FFL to fax them the paperwork. Most times I have to follow up with multiple calls. They should have a list of FFLs that they can readily ship to like some other places.

Price of the Herter's 7.62 dropped by another $0.20/box today. Called them and they provided a $5 refund to my card. The Cabela points rock. It is a little extra discount if you frequently buy from them.

Is it every Sunday? I'm interested in checking it out. I went to their website and requested for more information but got a blank email back.

Caved in...I ordered 500 rds of the PMC and 500 rds of 7.62. I'm splitting the PMC with a buddy (though he may only want a couple of boxes).

I just ordered a case from PSA over the summer at $6.49/box with free shipping. I thought I was getting a deal then. I still have yet to go thru it and there's no more room in the safe. I may need to trim the number of different calibers I have.

This is a good price. I must resist ordering more ammo though.
