No clue why they still sell it. Im sure they've had problems with pissed off customers trying to return it. Maybe you'll have better luck though, fingers crossed for you.

I bought about 200 rounds of Iranian 3006 form then a while back and only about 8-10 rounds actually fired through my M1. No hang fires, all duds. Hopefully you got a better batch then I did.

Check the barrel and the gas system real good. thats the main thing. The first 20 rounds through mine were flawless at a 1.5 gas setting, then on the next shot or two the spring curled and got all f'ed up. I was able to get a replacement springs from buymilsurp.com and they have a nice selection of parts if you end up needing anything. Its an awesome gun and id say go for it if its in good shape, even if its mis matched or electro-pen forced matched.

Awesome! Thats great to know. Thanks guys.

Does anyone know how long the wait is for purchasing a firearm in PA? The last time i was in PA (a few months ago) my buddy bought a rifle and we had to wait about an hour for the check to come back. Is it as bad as NJ now? I was hoping to hit Sarco and Heritage on friday for a little surplus hunting.

The only thing i could find different with shotguns was for semi-auto. i was just curious if anyone knew for sure what the hell the shotgun laws are there now

I thought that you could only load 10 at a licensed range? I could have read it wrong though. We will be shooting on his land. It's about 45 acres of private land.

I'm going to be headed up to my uncle's cabin in upstate ny next weekend and i wanted to try shooting some clays for the first time while where up there. My question is I would be bringing up my 590a1 which will hold 9- 2 3/4's. I did some research and I'm under the assumption that now in NY you can have a firearm and or magazine that holds 10 rounds but can only load 7 into them. Is this correct? Any info would be be appreciated. Thanks

Hmmm interesting! You learn something new every day.

Yea Sarco is definitely where you need to go. Heritage Guild in Rahway has a smaller selection of some nice surplus stuff. Last time i was there they had a few 1903's, a few type 99 Arisaka's, A real nice type 38 Arisaka, a Jungle car. Lee Enfield, A lot of nice P08 and P38 lugers, a couple Nambu's and 1911's and a few things i wasn't sure of. All really nice stuff though

I'm going to try and make it down there tomorrow with a couple guys. Not sure what time yet.

let us know how it was. I was thinking of going to one of the two tomorrow.

Like already mentioned they both suck. All you need to do is just decide what your going for, choose accordingly and just deal w/ them. IMO if you want to go shoot? Go to BA. Better range, cleaner, less crowded, and you can shoot most calibers there. Down side is that they almost never have an RO on duty unless its randomly busy one day. A guy will poke his head in every now and then but thats about it, which sucks when "Billy the wanna be thug" or any person that just isn't being safe is shooting next to you. If you want to buy a gun, especially handgun don't even waist your time with BA. Horrible stock selection and you can find plenty of horror stories on the forum with people ordering through them. SS always seems to have a nice selection and your always greeted if an employee is available. Downside is that most of there employees are arrogant as*holes who think there the brothority when it comes to firearms. You almost find yourself not wanting to ask questions because they'll get aggravated you don't know already. My recommendation would be to hop on 195 while your down there and take the drive to cheyenne mt. outfitters to buy. Thats all not to say i'v never had good experience at both places but a lot of time these things happen.

My vote is for the good ole' fashioned s&w .44. The ammo is cheaper and just fun to shoot. I only take mine out a few times a year but i have a blast with it when i do. You can usually find nice used one's too for a good price.

Everything bdomar has said is on point. I just wanted to add that if you are a member you are allowed to bring guest's. I believe its 2 or 3 guest at a time. Sometimes if its really busy, when you do get a bench they will only let you do 2 hours. let previously mentioned its $60 for a membership and $4 per hour for each person (thats for the rifle range at least. not sure if the skeet/pistol differ per hour) The only thing else i can think of is January-March they don't open friday.

I have a WW Ar and its awesome. Never had a single problem, misfire, jam , or any hick-ups yet, I'v fired roughly around 4 to 5 thousand rounds through it so far. I clean and lube the barrel and wipe everything down about every 200 rounds or so and do a complete disassemble and cleaning about every 400 rounds. Sometimes going months before cleaning, so i don't really keep up w/ it as much as i should but she works great.

No it doesn't have the notch for the locking pin, but its a tight fit and under recoil the mount wants to move forward so it stays put.

Yup you gotta love it though. Hahaha. I feel like most places do this except just lower the price of the firearm so that when you pay the tax it just comes out to the original tag price. Maybe thats what he was planning on doing, I don't know? Not trying to throw them under the bus or anything.

I would like to know where said firearm was bought as well. Like i originally said, i'v seen a few on the shelves at Sayreville Sportsmen but who knows if it was them or not. I know for a fact they were selling them cause he was trying to sell it to me tax free if i paid cash.

I wouldn't keep it, but thats just me. Im guessing the owner/manager told you that it was legal? Or did you end up calling the njsp? I could be wrong but it seems pretty cut and dry thats it's illegal. Not to mention that even if it does fall under some loophole you'll be harassed every time you shoot it at the range. If it is legal get some paper work stating that its nj compliant and bring it with you every time you take it out.

The sight line is actually perfect. I was worried it might be a little to high to but holding the gun the way i hold all my rifles its fine.

Soo the usual deal. I figured the elevation was going to be a pain to adjust. Im planning on taking it out to R14 saturday morning and try to get some tight groups at 200 yards but we'll see, it'll only be the second time i shot the gun. At least thats the excuse im going with when i cant hit sh*t

I picked up P/U scope mount for my SVT from Sarco the other day and bought a replica scope online. The only ones Sarco had were WWII originals selling for $600 which is a little to steep for me right now. Anyway put the scope on today and it just looks nasty IMO. Just wanted to ask if anyone has any hint's on getting these sighted in and post some pic's. Thanks.

Seem's like it's almost impossible to find. Maybe try and find some reloads someone is willing to sell.

4 months is a long time for sure but you'll probably have to wait longer seeing how getting out FID's and P2P are the least of Keyport's problems right now.
