"Versus" Meet Ups - Has This Been Done / Tried Before?
I belong to dix and cjrpc, would be game for a meetup and have a plethora of things for ppl to shoot. CJ would be preferable bc of the setup but I realize thats prob not realistic.

Awesome video tour of the IWI factory!!
Grabbed one of the Tavor's in March when it first came out, have been thrilled with it since. Build quality is excellent and I was happy to watch that video to see where it came from! Fighting the urge to buy an fde one to keep my blk one company...

So its pretty much impossible to use 3 permits in 90 days...
This. I have had no problem using 6 permits in 6 months (my town renews them for another 90 days). I am looking into the exemption route myself right now to see if I can just buy the rest of the stuff I want for the year all at once.

Our Army Navy store made the news today!
We would be interested in the ABU's and boots. For whatever reason we can't give away Class A's so would not be interested in purchasing those. If you want to sell anything pm me with exactly what you have and sizes, and I will give you a price. Please omit anything that is not in condition suitable for resale.

Anyone else afraid to buy/own ammo?
I have never been afraid to buy ammo in bulk, if you shoot alot it is the only cost effective way to shoot if you aren't going to reload. I thought I had a lot stockpiled, until I started talking to some other members and I realized my hoard is nothing compared to some others.

Is buying a few rifles in one month frowned upon?
This is what I try and do whenever possible. Sometimes I will wait a few weeks to pick something up if I know I am going to be making another purchase soon. Some ffl's will even give you a break on their transfer fees if you are doing multiple firearms at once

Our Army Navy store made the news today!
Thank you all for the positive feedback. We are thrilled to be back open and sales have been even to last year, considering the significant decrease in tourist traffic so far this year we think that is pretty good. As far as the comments regarding charges for theft of our merchandise, what I will say is this - Clearly the situation wasn't handled appropriately and the town was quick to acknowledge that. It took a while but they did pay for most of what was taken in the end. There is an ongoing investigation into what happened in general over there during the storm that we have no part in so it remains to be seen if anyone will be held accountable. Our position always was and continues to be that if we could flip a switch and make all of this mess go away we would, bc there is no doubt any money we got was not worth the crap our family and the store had to endure.

I would think it would end poorly for anyone that tried that seeing as the people going into the store are all armed.

No the store was left "secured" by a pair of handcuffs.

Yea when we heard that all of the cigs and lotto tickets from the 7-11 were gone we knew we weren't the only ones who got bagged.

Up until around 2000 we were able to go to the military bases and bid on large lots of used surplus, just like what you were describing. There was ample inventory at good prices and it was easy to keep the store stocked with issue gear. Around 2000 the government changed the way that they sold off their surplus. Instead of each base holding auctions once a month they hired a private company to handle all of the surplus sales. Now almost everything is done through online auctions that anyone can bid on. This has raised prices dramatically. Our main sources of stock for the store are stockpiles of surplus we had from the old bidding days, a large network of wholesalers who have been around forever, and soldiers who come off deployment and sell us their gear. I would say that our store is about a 50/50 mix of issue military gear and other stuff.

9mm Carry options
I have the 9c and love it. I can't say how close to a shield it is bc I haven't held one but the 9c has been excellent in every way for the ~1k rds I have downrange.

Thank you for the positive sentiment. Clearly the article(s) could have been written better but we are thankful to be done with the saga and that the town acknowledged their wrongdoing.

New Cabela's Catalog
Got mine in the mail today. Damn nice catalog. Have only ever bought ammo from them but was prob over 1k in the past year. No one posted a pic yet so here it is. Over 1k pages all full color, Hardcover like a school book. Impressive.

LOL our stuff is priced in line with all the other store's, but anyone on NJGF get's a 20% discount. They took almost all of our US made product, including boots, pants, jackets, shirts, etc. We also lost over 1k knives, more than 100 zippos, nearly 75 US made issue sleeping bags, dozens of USGI wool blankets that can't even be rebought, and a multitude of other items. It adds up quick, and if you had ever been in the store it is easy to see how items accumulated in there over the last 20 years.

Is that the Hogue grip on the 226? I just got a 226 that I put the .40 conversion kit on and am thinking of the Hogue grip for it.
