I don't see why it would be legal in NJ. It has the same features and attributes as any other run-of-the-mill semi-.22

A dog...like a family pet? You've obviously have never seen a coyote in the wild. Coyote is to dog as Mountain Lion is to cat.

1) They are predators 2) They are "vermin" 3) They are difficult to hunt, which makes for fun and challenging hunting While many people do hunt for food, remember that hunting is a sport.

There's always the Beretta BM59 or Citadel Carbine.

Good choices all. Be sure to get some time with a S&W M&P too.

In Yeah, in for that too. I don't even own a 9mm, but that's my next handgun.

Welcome. So what do you have your sights on? (pun intended)

Well if that's true I should be able to crush a 44M

I bought my son a 795 a few weeks back. He really likes it...I love it. I'm looking for an inexpensive scope for it.

Thanks for posting the clips Patriot Oak. While the fox and fisher clips are similar, what we heard was the shrill of the fisher cat. I had my doubts until my neighbor said that he has seen fisher cats. And Parker, I hear that rabbit screams a lot during the summer...also followed by coyotes "yelping". I just don't know how people live in the 'burbs

Last night my wife and I were going to bed and out our window we heard a scream that at first sounded like a woman screaming for help. It jolted us when we first heard it so we opened a window to listen a little better. With an open window we could hear it loud and clear and we were relieved to quickly realize it wasn't a woman, but an animal in distress. It was about 50 to 100 yards from my house. At the time I said to my wife "must be a cat". But the more we listened the more we realized it wasn't a cat. After a few minutes of this it stopped and we went back to bed. A few minutes later we heard it again. It screamed 3 or 4 times and it was followed by coyotes yelping (that will keep you up at night). Talking about it with the wife and kids over diner we all described what we heard last night. My one son thought it may have been a fox screaming, so we listened to a few foxes screaming on you tube. It was close, but not quite right. Then we listed to racoons and ground hogs - not even close. Then I did a search on "animals screaming in the woods" and clicked on a clip that said "Fisher Cat". After listening I'd have to say it was the sound of a Fisher Cat in distress. What is odd about this is Fisher Cats live in, and north of, the Adirondacks. I called my neighbor who is an avid hunter and he told me that he has seen Fisher Cats down by the river that runs by our house. If I hear it again I will record it. Unfortunately I don't think we will hear it again; the coyotes may have won the battle.

Now you tell me?

I just ordered from Stag Arms this morning as well. You need to tell them that the rifle is being shipped to NJ and they will conduct the proper mods - no charge. I ordered a Model 3H Upper on-line and there was a check box for "Ban Compliant States (CT, MA, NJ, NY)"

Well, I promised to give my honest appraisal of a Del-Ton upper, but it looks like that will never happen. I tracked my order weekly on their website. I went from "Processing" to "Final Stage of Processing" and then finally "Final Stage or Shipped". And then I received an email that said: "Thanks for your order, but the DTI 16" 1x9 Light Weight Chrome Lined Barrels & Phantom Aggressive End Comp/Brake that you ordered is currently on backorder, I am not sure of the exact ETA on them at this time, If you want to wait till these part come in, or if you would like to change to something we have in stock I can also help with this. If you would just let me know and I will take care of your order." To that I replied: "I am disappointed to learn 4 weeks after I placed an order (and after its confirmation & acceptance) that my order has been put on backorder. That is something I would have liked to have known at the time I placed the order. Looking at your website, it would appear that you are out of stock on all barrel assemblies, so I don't know why you offered to change the order to something you have "in stock". Since you are unable to provide me with an ETA, I would like to cancel my order for the full amount of $504.64." In my business, we don't accept a PO unless we have the parts in-hand or in-bound. I did get a follow-up email from Del-Ton and the sales person told me: "I am sorry, but with the amount of orders that have come in the past month, it is kinda hard to say when you place the order it might have been in stock, but by the time we got to the order to process it could be out of stock. We have posted on our website that we are running 4-6 weeks out on all orders and it was there when your order was placed and we are still within that time." That's some serious double speak. It was here when you ordered it but wasn't when we went to build it. Then you DIDN'T have the inventory...it was already committed to other builds. How can you still be "within that time frame" if you can't even provide an ETA? Well, that's the bad news. The good news is I ordered a Stag Arm 3H upper this morning. This is an quality upper without controversy. Oh, and I saved $20 in the process. I did look to purchase a BCM first, but their website told me that the unit(s) I wanted to order WERE ON BACK ORDER. What a refreshing way to run a website! So, add me to the group of people that have been disappointed or let down by Del-ton. Perhaps their product is of good quality, but I'll never know.

Saturday Night Special.

Jim Flynn sells that ammo all day long at $6 per box of 20 (or $0.30 per round)...including tax. Bring cash.

Welcome. You might find this thread of interest. http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php?/topic/33614-9mm-vs-45/page__fromsearch__1

I'm too late to the party

Check with your municipality to confirm that it's ok. Set your range up so you aren't firing in or near a safety zone (any home within 450', school, etc). Keep rule #4 in mind; i.e. know where your round could land. If your neighbors have a similar amount of property or more, you should be ok. Make sure you have adequate dirt mounds behind and to the sides of your target area. You might also want to make sure that your adjacent neighbors are cool with this. Not that they have to be, but you don't need the state police being called every time you want to blow-off a few rounds. Luckily for me, my neighbor is a gun collector.

Are we talking about the 15 round stubby, or a pinned 15/20? If the price is right, I'll buy.

I'm in the market for a 2nd (and maybe a 3rd) handgun. I have my STS-033 all filled out. If I'm reading this correctly, since I already have an FID, the only fee is $2 per requested permit. Did I miss something?

During the summer I hear them yapping a night in my field. The rabbit population has thinned noticeably. I've only seen them (one at a time) but a few times over the years. I got a good laugh out of this statement: "If coyotes are present, make sure they know they’re not welcome by making loud noises, throwing rocks, or spraying them with a garden hose." I've some more useful things that make noise. Any survivors will know that they are not welcome.

As a product manufacturer, I want to know about every defect found; both prior to delivery and post delivery. If I'm never notified, I loose an opportunity to take corrective actions.

While I agree with this statement, also recognize that some of these shops are a one to three hour drive from some of us. Given my busy schedule, I just don't have time to support a shop just because they are domiciled in NJ. When I shop on-line for convenience, 9 is always less then 10.
