Screwball

I might email the CMP and see about it... kind of want another Garand.

When I did my interview with the ATF, the agent didn’t know about the upcoming law change. Mentioned it to her, and she was kind of shocked that NJ allowed that exception (03 to 03). Still had to sign a form that states I am aware that NJ does not allow firearms to be sent directly to my home (in regards to stuff being acquired). I am interested how new interviews go... and if they have any differences in how the FFL-03 can be used.

Couple months back... think beginning of June. Was a really good guy. I used you a few times, but he was the first FFL I used after the BA fiasco, and then a guy at SS trying to get the money I already put down on a Davidson’s purchase. Was a notary, and worked with ScotShot with their permit class. Went to you for my SP-01, because he really didn’t stock CZs. capt14k... that’s nuts! Mine went through and arrived at my house a little over a month.

Yep, very aware. But since Paul died from NJ Arms, I got nobody else to call up and pick their brain... Same reason why I ended up shipping my S&W 1006 slide to the gunsmith. Federally, there is a way to send a gun FFL to FFL... but I’m not getting jammed up having to go for a pistol permit to get it back. I will be checking the decocker timing this weekend... and if it isn’t right/easily fixed, I’m spending $90 each way to send it direct. You ever hear back about yours? Roger that... kind of want to buy a C&R gun now to see.

So, you run a NICS for all FFL transfers? Trust me, not looking to start anything. Interested in the reasoning.

Steve... if a C&R long gun comes in, and you were transferring it to a FFL-03... NICS ran? Or is it signed out of your book, and into the 03’s? Similar question for pistols, obviously with a pistol permit included.

Brainfart... Switch out five to four in my post. Besides, with a 13” barrel, it seems to match up with the same length of a regular magazine tube.

Website says 5 for magazine capacity. Figure the TAC-14 was 5 originally, I think that is accurate... 5+1.

Folding brace... [emoji41] Don’t know about that line, but do they accept 870 grips?

I posted it in the Shockwave discussion for that question. My view, it is good on the NJSP memo allowing the other firearms. As long as ATF classifies it as a firearm, which I’m guessing it does. My only question is if it is still applicable to assault weapon laws as a firearm?

There is a company that offers clear grips with magazines that have the sides cut out... https://www.lsgrips.com/

https://www.remington.com/other-products/v3-tac-13 Figure this would be somewhat fitting in here. I wish they did it off a 1100 or 11-87, and licensed a design to get rid of the action spring tube. Liking the 13” barrel. Either this or the Black Aces 1100 firearms. Likely a move purchase, but should be legal for NJ. Now the question is if it is a “firearm,” is adding a pistol grip (brace) legal?

I’d buy one if they ship to my FFL-03. They do run a NICS, so maybe I should ask.

The confusion with the model number is going to be annoying... just like the 40 (10mm) and 35/24/22/23/27 (.40). Going to be playing “Who’s on First?” for the conceivable future...

AIM Surplus has the light only in larger gun styles... 1911, Glock, M&P. Can just swap insides. I’ve never seen them, either. Someone posted it on Pistol-Forum... and I was interested. Emailed AIM to confirm similar setup to the regular TLR-6s, and ordered right after. I originally felt that way (ran light only), but when you switch modes, light only is followed by laser only. If, worst case scenario, modes change... no light (laser). I ran it with the laser/light. If s*** happens then, you then are in light only. It does take a little effort to switch modes (push from both sides), but wouldn’t be impossible under stress. Not like other Streamlight mode changes, like enable/disable strobe on TLR-1/7 (touch the switch 9 times fast, hold on 10).

Find an old part made of polymer, and experiment to find what works/you like. Do a few of them go get a technique down.

For defensive use... I agree. Searching for a little dot isn’t how you are supposed to shoot. Having night vision, an IR laser likely will be a future investment... because they are cool to mess around with. Training... I really like lasers for dry-fire practice. The harder to shoot guns that I tossed lasers on still have them on. If I use the gun defensively... it rarely will hurt being there (isn’t instinctive for me to use the laser). It is when people use lasers predominantly for aiming, and don’t have anything to fall back on (can barely get on paper without them), that I have issue with them. Using them as a crutch (or worse, depending on it) is doing it wrong. But to put my view of laser/light combo, I guess I can sum it up here... No more laser on my P938! Hated the laser, but ran it with the light because if it switched modes, light only was between it and laser only. Like simplicity with this... light can only go on. If someone wants a laser/light TLR-6, which fits railed Glocks, keep an eye on the classifieds. [emoji41]

Yea, like most other firearm things... lights come down to personal preference. I had a Surefire X300U... just didn’t like the controls. For me, more instinctive to the toggle to control both momentary and constant opposed to toggle just doing constant, and pushing for momentary. But that also goes to me starting off on the Insight M3 years back. Swapping to the TLR-7, I still prefer toggles... but for the size difference, I will use those different controls over the TLR-1. Most of my light purchases happen to be on Optics Planet/DVOR or LAPoliceGear. As High Exposure mentioned, keep an eye out for sales. I do notice LAPG doing A LOT more random sale codes throughout the month... and not just on holidays. Another option... classifieds here, MeWe, and the EE on AR15.com (get a lot of people buying stuff, not liking it, then selling like-new sights and lights).

Nice! What did you end up getting it for?

Think funds hold back most firearm owners... likely more than state laws. I was at 50 for a little while, but sold off some stuff I didn’t really care about... at 46 right this moment. My friend Paul, who owned NJ Arms (passed away a few months back), was in a great position to have plenty of different firearms. We always would BS when I stopped by, but numbers came up once. I believe I was somewhere between 40-45 at the time, which was matched by his under 12 (want to say it was under 10, but forget the actual number). People have different desires, and a guy who could get mostly anything he wanted, he rather stock cool stuff than own it. He had a Barrett .50 sitting in stock for a few months. Don’t think he pushed it, but would show people/friends who liked guns... and if someone said they wanted a rifle with some power behind it, he would bring it up. Ammo, total count (thanks to AmmoBase) is 20,027. Most of a single caliber is .22 LR (3,750... add 550 if you want to consider .22 Long CB), and my Russian calibers usually are above 1,000 each. 5.56mm is about 1,500, and over 2,000 in 9mm... both hold around there, but fluctuate as I run through it/restock. FFL-03 made restocking noticeably easier on the wallet from dealer programs by Grafs and others. However, I do have an ongoing list... well, actually two. First list is everything I want to do with the guns I currently have; refinish some, finish the build on that AR lower sitting in PA, get threaded barrels for two pistols (suppressing my Glock 30S and SIG P938 when I move), and convert a few guns to non-NJ compliance (M1A will get a bayonet lug/flash hider). A good chunk of my work will be done outside of NJ, due to legal reasons... but moot point, since I should be out within the year (if not a little sooner). Only modification I’m actually going to get done somewhat soon is converting my S&W 1006 to decock only. Second list is guns I’m buying as funds allow. More of a bucket list type of thing, which right now only has 15 on it. Likely, things will change when I leave, and I might want to buy more... but those are things I’m going to get. There are a few C&R pistols (Makarov, CZ-52, revolvers), that I might pickup at Oaks if I get a good deal/seller that doesn’t have an issue selling legally to a FFL-03... but when I move and change my license over, they can also be shipped straight to my home. Only non-C&R pistols I want are a Hi-Power (that stainless one, likely with a SFS trigger), .45 Luger (from Lugerman... but if I don’t get it, not the end of the world), and a NAA Ranger II. Long guns... M1A1 (Fulton, but likely get a standard M1 Carbine stock with it), S&W M&P-10, and a Ruger Mini-14. Last option is sort of a mix, but either a CZ Scorpion Evo 3 or PTR 9CT (likely start with a pistol)... SBRed and a suppressor for it. I don’t think the OP is a troll, but having 700 guns and not knowing about an FFL-03, he likely bought most of his stuff in person, and would venture to say isn’t too big on internet forums. If he was completely just asking about illegal stuff, or had some type of story about how he has X “assault weapon,” and wants to keep it... then maybe. Look at the ATF... they registered accounts to multiple firearms forums to attempt to acquire firearms illegally. Within talking to a few members, all were reported and the members warned the rest of the forum about these people asking shady stuff. If liberals want to join and troll... I think it really is just a waste of their time.

It’s a 12 shot, single action revolver... Nothing changed with it being legal.

Even still, how much does NJ give a s*** about what the Federal government says? -Blackpowder guns are still considered a firearm. -Airguns are still considered a firearm. -FFL-03s are a FFL that can have firearms shipped to their home. That is in the brown book that comes with the FFL-03 packet. Lot of fun stuff in there... like Automag pistols being C&R. Each day is one closer to me being able to use it as it should.

You would think that would default to the Federal level... which the ATF did put out a list of calibers that were labeled as Curios and Relics. If that were the case...

Different meaning... and yours is a little older.

At least we ain’t going down “Word is bond,” or worse yet, “Word to the G-string.”
