Was it the owner that did the transaction or an employee? I’m guessing you spoke to the owner... I’m glad to hear that he is trying to do what is right. Definitely keep us in the loop. Employees can make mistakes, and I’ve had people from a local range that tried to conduct a sale incorrectly (I feel he did it to pocket the extra money, but I didn’t give him an option, as there was a specific amount of money due to them).

That is how I felt... I mean I don’t see a problem, but why jam the OP up like that if he doesn’t have anyone else out there? I wasn’t a part of the transfer, and while I’m shocked a NJ FFL doesn’t have knowledge about stuff like that (Paul from NJ Arms has adjustable stock pumps, and shakes his head on why those are legal, but on a semi-auto, it isn’t), it isn’t my place to put that info out there. PM stands for PRIVATE message.

Wait... so he gave you the gun with the stock and breaching barrel (unsure if it is a choke on the Mossbergs), and then said it is illegal? Yea, definitely a smart move. Sounds like the guys at gun shops that say hollow points are illegal, but they are sitting on the shelf at the store they work at. Adjustable stock is fine on a pump action shotgun. Breacher barrel is fine, as well.

Got to get a S/S... probably a Cimmarron 1878. I want the exposed hammers. Do have a 11-87 Police on the list (because two hunting 11-87s aren’t enough), but have a Remington factory folding stock on the way that I likely have to buy an 870 for. Maybe the next Oaks show. But to be fair, one of my ten is a TAC-14... but I consider it a shotgun since it shoots that ammo. Not a fan of calling it a firearm, being it is classified as one. Can call it a boom stick, doesn’t mean it magically changed. For the wife point, my fiancé actually told me that she couldn’t tell I bought a new one since the safes are full. Would have to be stupid and leave a dated receipt around. Played it off like I never though that, or used it already. “Yea, had this for years...” [emoji6]

More than ten? Because my ten beats their four... [emoji6]

Probably a part of it... With 9mm carbines, a few use different pistol magazines. Beretta and KelTec are the bigger ones and you have a few different options/calibers. But you also have the MP5, Scorpion, and MPX magazines. None of those really got to a standard pistol carbine status beyond two; Colt AR and Glock magazines. High capacity (33 round Glock magazines, but even 17 rounders are decent), somewhat affordable, and pretty reliable. The other three, either are too new or too expensive. With Glock being such a big seller, and most people always asking if a carbine takes Glock magazines, they listened to the market. Ruger definitely does put their ear to the pavement to see what is desired... as what occurred with the SR1911 (Series 70 was very odd for Ruger) and Precision Rifle (an affordable, entry long range rifle). They tried with the Red Label, but utterly failed. I like to see the moving away from the Bill Ruger sales formula. I think Ruger could jump into shotguns with a decent design... but don’t think too many would move away from proven designs. Would have to be a real “game changer.” [emoji41]

Yep... P227. They went with the right .45 round. .45 GAP is because Glock did the 21 wrong. You have the 21, 36, SF guns, then the GAP. They obviously wanted a less thick grip, and with as much 21 magazines have become a standard, they can’t go thinner than the SF. If they knew what they know now, back when they were designing the 21... you’d probably have a capacity similar to the PX4 (similar stack as the GAP guns, slightly longer grip). .357 SIG is a niche cartridge... just like 10mm. With the move back to 9mm, I feel .40 got pushed into the same boat. Good thing is you have a metric buttload of .40 trade ins, and ammo sitting on the shelves. I’m not a fan of .357 Magnum, so .357 SIG never appealed to me. Considered conversion barrels for my M&Ps, but don’t want to mix up a magazine loaded with .357 SIG and my .40 SUB-2000 (uses M&P magazines). I would still consider a .357 and .40 conversion barrel for my 1006, if that project on S&W Forum ever gets going again... but unlikely. And that is more because I’d just like the extra barrels that likely won’t be available ever again.

Options are always good... Plus, if Ruger can do it at a lower price point, it should lower the prices of other compliant firearms... in theory.
-
That actually is a smart thing to look into... have to check the cleaner I use. You can change it... I stopped asking CCR about doing my TAC-14, but they just don’t plate alloys (which is already done). If the barrel fits in their tray, might be able to do everything else. I do know Brad over there has a thing for shotguns. Other option is Robar. Just depends on how much money you are willing to put into it. [emoji41] You just doing a rail and pistol light? For me, I want the sidesaddle for a reload. I really just can’t wait for the new barrel, which I’m going to decide on what sights I’m going to have installed.
-
Considered it, but rather it not look like crap when done... [emoji6]
-
No override key? Not a fan of that... I would contact the store (see you are doing that), just to see if they have any record of it. But doesn’t seem like a fun way to get a safe. Just wait until you start putting guns in there and realize you don’t have enough room (always happens). Be mixing up order/position for a good chunk of a day. [emoji6]

Never understood why they did the Marine finish just on the receiver... would bother they hell out of me. But nice to see case/bag options for it. I have an old Blackhawk Discrete Bag (discontinued), which looks like a racket case. Fits perfectly in that, if I yank out the Velcro divider. Hard to find a 26”-28” case for it, as most that small are designed for bullpups. Anyone know of a short gun sock that doesn’t hang the length of the TAC-14/Shockwave past it?

Problem is that when a FFL takes it in, it is logged with the information of the sender (why it is a big thing to send a copy of your license when you send a FFL a firearm for a transfer... as an individual; also why some FFLs don’t deal with it). Your cousin needs to be the one giving/shipping it, and logged into the FFL’s book. Then, when you do the transfer/NICS, your info gets logged on the out side.

iPhones... I used to be like that. But now, still have a 6 Plus (128 GB), and probably will upgrade to the 8 Plus (or the next release) when the phone stops working with apps/being updated. Glocks... never got to that point. But I have one Glock; 30S (Gen 3). No interest in 19 slides on 17 frames or any other combination. It’s nice to see options... but it would take a radical redesign for me to get excited with Glock again. Wished they went with a modular design. Only Glock related thing I’m looking forward towards is a .45 version of that Ruger PC carbine. Maybe Glock would finally come out with one... [emoji23]

That would be your one evil feature... so, I’d say no. I kind of was interested in the RDB Survival for a similar reason (no pistol grip to eat your one feature).

If they do a .45, that can accept Glock 30 magazines... I’m sold. Actually very happy to see it come from Ruger. They do listen to their customers, so considering they have an SR45, it is likely we may see one like I described.

Sorry, thought I answered this... Same as the video you listed... TheFireArmGuy. Forget the other channel I had a question on regarding the same design, but was along the lines of questioning what the magazine tube looks like compared to a standard shotgun (never was notified that it was replied to). The YouTube app on the iPhone really isn’t that fun to navigate for comments.

Have one on my FDE AR... They are nice lights, but prefer the toggle of a pistol light over the toggle on them (push button, but to switch from moment/constant, rotate a lever). TLR-1 is likely staying on. It is 800 Lumen, with a strobe function I’ll likely never use. [emoji41] Scorpio64, like the wood on it. Was tossing that around for my TAC-14, but rather the handstop system I got on it.
