  1. A broken clock is right twice a day but a working clock is rarely, if ever, right How about, "even a blind pig can find an acorn every once in a while"
  2. The M70B1 came back from the builder today and it looks pretty good. All work on the list above was done with the exception of refinishing (bluing) the metals. One day I will restore the furniture and at that time the whole rifle will get cleaned up and blued. Additionally the old night sights were cleared out so I can insert some new tritium (DIY) Bolt is a little sticky at the halfway point when the gas piston enters the tube. I expect it will work itself out after a good degreasing/cleaning, lubrication and cycling session Will be overseas for a while (near Zastava and Karlovac no less) so I won't be able to test fire for a few weeks -- but I can't wait!
  3. Here you go Jet, I saved the image from the site and uploaded it directly to the forum So hard to tell if the tabs have been shaved off. I'm comparing pics of my m70 parts kit and in built condition (NJ compliant) and I can barely discern the difference at high res
  4. Hehe I think you're right about that - the one gun a month rule is the bane of my existence. It's forcing me to buy a gun each and every month to keep up my collection, forcing me to count off every 30 day period like a damn kid collecting a new secret decoder keyring from each new cereal box. Not to mention the extra costs involved with each separate FFL transfer and NICS check. And the inconvenience of not being able to pick up a new piece on Gunbroker on a whim when I've got one or two already sitting at the FFL waiting for their turn. I wish I had been vocal against that bill but like everyone else it I didn't seem to find out about it until it was too late
  5. Eh? Second email I posted was from ANJRPC, previous email from NJ2AS did not mention amendments to exempt BB guns and air guns and no protections added for FID holders or hunters (paraphrased) I agree about being vocal. I made my voice "heard" via email.
  6. That's just cruel
  7. I like Garth Brooks - Sevens
  8. Ah, the ugly side of the gun culture.. The embarrassing association that forces you to hide your love for guns from your friends and co-workers. Country Music
  9. I've heard that guy is the goods from others at the range -- one of NJ's best kept secrets. I think he's only open a couple nights a week?
  10. On my yugo m70b1 parts kit the bayonet lug was a square projection with tabs under the barrel in the area the gas tube mates. On the picture in the centerfiresystems.com ad it looks like what would have been a bayonet lug is rounded and without tabs on the side? Hard to tell with that photo's resolution but I think the imported PAP typically does not have a bayonet lug Maybe just not worth their while interpreting NJ laws so they've blacklisted us lot (i.e. Midway ammo sales)
  11. Looks like a Zastava P.A.P. (single stack) with wood furniture. Rail on the dust cover is kind of cool. I don't see a bayonet lug but my eyes suck.
  12. Here ya go: http://www.app.com/article/20120607/NJNEWS/306070057/Those-helicopters-booming-noises-kept-you-awake-Blame-Fort-Bragg
  13. He's got a lot of cool uncommon guns
  14. Shore Shot very recently increased their fees. I can't remember the exact amount but it went up about $10 to around $45 (without NICS)
  15. We had Blackhawks (or similar shape) flying Monday thru Wednesday nights starting around 10PM and ending around 2AM. All blacked out except white tail light and fixed red beacon and flying 50-100 feet above ground level. Accompanied by very loud artillery and mortar explosions from the Camp Charles Wood area or northern reaches of Naval Weapons Station Earle. The choppers seemed to be ferrying back and forth every 10 minutes or so between the Camp Charles / Earle, over the golf course and then to the Fort Monmouth sites. Presumably they continued from there to Long Branch. It was great hearing some training exercises nearby again. It's been almost a year since I've been woken up by and gone to sleep to the bugle calls from Fort Monmouth. I really hope they sidestep BRAC and re-open the Fort under a new name. This area quickly became Asbury Park North and it's an absolutely disgrace.
  16. You should expunge the arrest record in FL if only to get your mug shot removed from public domain. It is a great learning experience and a good introduction to DIY in handling simple legal matters for yourself and your friends. In NJ you'd be surprised how many agencies you need to involve. It doesn't cost much money, most of it is spent on sending certified RR snail mail. In NJ it is unusual to be required to attend the final court date for an arrest expungement. I looked thru Florida's application packet and it seems like is a lot less leg work than NJ but I'm not sure about the court appearance there. GFH can do your fingeprint cards if your local PD won't. Once you have your arrest record expunged you should wait a good amount of time and then verify that it's actually been expunged by the state and follow up with a personal record request with the FBI to make sure it's trickled down. You can also contact LexisNexis and other law abiding PII resellers to remove your information. There are shady companies that will never remove your information so don't expect 100% compliance. I do not believe the NJ SBI will return a hit on your FL arrest record if you expunge it and give it enough time before applying (and didn't have an existing history with SBI). It seems strange for a mere arrest with a disposition of dismissal to influence your ability to get a FID or permit to purchase a handgun. The only firearms-related permit application that I've ever been asked about an arrest is on the CT non-resident CCP application and on that you are permitted to answer no to an arrest record if it has been expunged in accordance with that state's law. I just read your latest post and it seems this is not actually an issue. But I think it's always a good idea to get any records expunged/sealed -- for the same reason you should lock down your records at the credit bureau and annually check your credit reports and your records with the state, federal government and 3rd party companies.
  17. I got this in the mail, the sky continues to fall but maintains the same rate as before?
  18. Very cute dog, looks like mine.. You should go running with him. Like every morning
  19. I spend a lot of time in Wyoming, I wouldn't mind living there. Would still want a home base in the Tri-State though.
  20. The Ridgewood prosecutor will likely offer you unsafe which will be 0 points the first time with a $50-100 fine to the town and a $250 surcharge to the state (plus court costs) Any charges settled in court will always incur the additional $25-30 court cost But keep in mind that insurance companies in NJ are just as likely to assess surcharges on unsafe as they are your original charge. The unsafe charge may even carry more "insurance points" than your original moving charge even though there are no MVC points attached For a 2 point crosswalk ticket I think it would be cheaper in the long run to pay the smaller fine and take the 2 MVC points which will expire from the MVC on the one year anniversary of your summons, provided you don't receive additional MVC points in the meantime If you really know what you're doing it would be worth it to pay the $30 court cost so that you can plead NG and talk to the prosecutor and beg for your charge to be amended to the old fashioned 39:4-67 "Obstruction of traffic" which is around $50, no MVC points and almost certainly no insurance points. This is not a beginner move Only get a lawyer for this if you're sure they play golf with officers of the same court on the weekend. Otherwise it's a waste of money In my roaring 20s I was invited to visit almost every court house in Bergen County and a fair amount of others throughout the state. Let me know if you have any questions about this side of the bench
  21. Thanks BigBlueQ
