I know Mossberg makes 870 barrels but not sure about left handed models.

Sorry I missed that part.

Any of the state WMA ranges allow you to shoot buckshot. You just have to either be a licensed hunter or be with someone that is.

To think I used to like Costas but that comment just changed my mind.

Both barrels will fit your 870. The difference is in the muzzle end with the Imp cylinder having a slightly tighter pattern, the breech end is the same.

Thanks. Order placed.

I tried ordering some magazine holsters. The item shows the sale price but when added to the cart it shows the original price.

How did you seal the bolt holes for the agitators? I would think that without a gasket, or at the least a bead of silicone, those holes aren't going to be water tight.

Tip's Hardware in Tuckerton has a great archery department.

From NJ Fish&Game website: Coyote* and Fox, General All coyote must be reported within 24 hrs. Bow and Arrow only: Sep. 8-Nov. 9 in DMZ Regulation Sets 3A-8 Sept. 29–Nov. 9 in DMZ Regulation Sets 0-3 Firearm or Bow and Arrow: Nov. 10, 2012 – March 15, 2013 ½ hour before sunrise to ½ hour after sunset No limit 8 a.m. start on Nov. 10 Open Dec. 3–8 and Dec. 12 with restrictions as specified under Small Game Hunting, Coyote and Fox, page 62.

Firearm or Bow and Arrow: Jan. 1 to March 15, 2013 (permit required) Permit holders may hunt day and night with certain restrictions; see Notes at right. No limit For complete details, and for when a permit is required, see Small Game Hunting, Coyote and Fox, page 62. Calling and standing hunting only. Predator calling device must be in possession. Rifle permit required in possession when hunting with muzzleloading rifle, allowed only during the daytime hunting hours. During night hunting (½ hour after sunset to ½ hour before sunrise), only 10 or 12 gauge shotguns with #4 through “T” size shot are permitted. Coyote/fox permit required. I say do whatever it takes to rid your yard of that varmint.

I have the SR22 and love it. Only have a few hundred rounds through it so far but it has been flawless. I changed to the larger grips and it is really comfortable in the hand.

For the archery test, you will need to group 3 out of 5 arrows in the kill zone of the target from ~15 yards. If you are not proficient enough to do that then I'd suggest practicing and taking the test at a later date. The one upside is that if you know someone with a crossbow, you can take your test with that. Archery is the only discipline that you must provide your own weapon for.

Ruger also just came out with the Single-nine, a SA .22wmr revolver. Saw at my local shop this weekend and it had a nice look and feel to it. http://www.ruger.com/products/newModelSingleSixSingleNine/models.html

I know this. I was just pointing out that their website gives conflicting information. If a person were to just read the FAQ section and not research the actual statute that is the info they would get, and since it is from the NJSP website they would think it was the law.

But if you read their FAQ section, http://www.njsp.org/faq.html#firearms, question 6 states it has to be in a separate container.

My guess would be that if it was purchased at a party, it wasn't a legal transfer to begin with. That was most likely the basis for originally saying someone else shot him.

Check out the Division of Fish and Game website. They list Wildlife Management areas and public hunting lands.

I stand corrected. I forgot about the groundhog stipulation for private property.

You can't hunt with centerfire rifles in NJ period. Only black powder and .22lr for dispatching trapped animals or hunting racoons.

If you bring your own muzzle loader then you are responsible for knowing how to and demonstrating how to load it properly. If you use their supplied guns, highly recommended, they will show you the proper way to load it. Even if you don't bring your own gun to the test, it is a wise idea to learn the proper way of loading/unloading it yourself.

As long as they are unloaded and cased you are fine.

Yes, but the permits are good for 90 days so you will have time to use both before they expire.

What a waste of a perfectly good bottle of Jack.

I believe it is only for use when they hold their turkey shoots. I have never seen anyone shooting there outside of one of their events. Best bet would be to stop in and ask them. There is usually always someone there in the afternoons/evenings.
