Welcome! I grew up down there (Howell) but I'm in Bergen County now. MC

Got an email yesterday that my order shipped. Much better than their estimate... MC

Date night was fun last night. RTSP definitely makes it accessible to infrequent shooters. It was also nice seeing couples who were both experienced shooters. Also, the people behind the counter and also the range officer were extremely friendly. I wish it wasn't almost an hour away, more than an hour on Friday night because of route 80 but anyway, nicest place I've been to shoot so far. MC

No problems with the box of wwb that I shot last night, which was purchased at the Walmart in suffern last weekend. MC

It's back in stock and back at $12.99/box. I know it's not as cheap as shopping online but still not bad if you need a pickup on the way to the range. I got 3 boxes today and they had plenty left. MC

I checked the thread on PAFOA. The 2 boxes that I picked up at Walmart in Suffern have a different lot number, and what's stamped on the bottom of the casing is even different from what's pictured in the PAFOA thread. I'm thinking of shooting them tomorrow... MC

I pop in to the Paramus store often enough and I've noticed a difference lately. Even if I'm just strolling the aisle for gun cleaning supplies, the guy behind the gun counter will shout out a hello, ask me if I'm looking for anything special, maybe point out something. I remember even just a short while ago I felt uncomfortable there, and it was totally the same guy. Now I do believe that at least to a certain extent, I don't have a nervous, new gun hobbyist look on my face that probably makes them think "oh great", but still, I've noticed the guy specifically trying to be friendly and helpful. I've only been to the Ramsey store once, and the guys behind the counter did not seem to want to be interrupted in their conversation about some local zoning law or something... It is possible I still had the deer in headlights look, but they didn't really seem interested in showing me anything. I will say this, I don't own a Glock 19 but for some reason I've decided to judge gun store prices by what they have their 19 listed for. I've been to Ramsey, Meltzer's (very similar experience to Ramsey), and Luciano's (super friendly), and yes I know there's a difference in price between gen3 and gen4 but Ramsey Outdoor is definitely cheaper by between $20-30 than the other two places. MC

Anybody know if the range is busy/crowded on Friday evenings for 'date night'? I'm thinking of bringing my wife this Friday. She's itching to try out the M&P. MC

So what does someone like me do? I just picked up 2 boxes of wwb value pack at the Walmart in suffern. Of course they have a no return policy on ammo. So I have to set those boxes aside until Winchester realizes there's a problem and issues a recall? Should we all be calling Winchester to inquire? MC

I emailed asking about it and they responded: So I guess I'll be shooting my 500 rounds of it elsewhere... MC

OK so anybody going tomorrow? Is the range even open tomorrow? MC

Anybody going tomorrow (Sunday 8/19)? I've got nothing going on and a couple of boxes of ammo that need to be fired. I haven't been to BH yet, but it's probably the closest public range as I'm in Bergen County... MC

Do what I did (which I got from another poster here). When you show up to meet the seller with your p2p, your FID (questionably necessary), your driver's license, and a wad of cash, and the seller shows up with the gun, also bring two envelopes, one already addressed to the state police and the other addressed to the local pd (as on the p2p), and put return addresses and a stamp on each. When you sit down and do the deal with the seller, both of you confirm the paperwork is accurately filled out, you each take your copy, and you put the proper copies in the envelopes, seal them, and then decide who will mail them. At that point it's too easy to mess up. Often you'll meet at a gun range or club to shoot the gun and then do the deal, you can even ask the gun club to put the envelopes in their outgoing mail. Also, make a few copies of your copy and put one in the gun case, and another in your glove compartment. MC

That seems shady. Does that happen? MC

I emailed them to see if I needed to send them a copy of my FID and/or drivers license and they replied that they didn't require that (except for Illinois residents). They also said the S&B in the ammo can is expected in their warehouse 9/29 (I didn't even inquire). MC

I have a question. On Bullet Hole's website it says in their rules no Wolf, Tiger, and Sellier & Bellot ammo. I understand the first two, not wanting people shooting lacquered steel, but why Sellier & Bellot? MC

Are there good deals on ammo at the show, good enough to make it worth the trip and the $8 admission? MC

I placed an order but it says they expect it to ship in October. MC

If my wife and I go to RTSP and have just our 1 gun, and want 1 port to share and take turns, is it $20/hr or $40/hr? MC

So NY State has a law to supercedes 926A, but NJ does not? MC

Thanks! That stinks, that range is right in between me and some friends I have in NY and we want to shoot, but they can't bring their guns to NJ and I can't bring mine to NY. BTW, can I jump in to your avatar? MC

I was debating opening this in the ranges forum, but it's more a legal question. If I follow the same rules as going to a NJ range, can I bring my gun and ammo and go to The Firing-Line in Pearl River? I know a lot of people go to the range in Easton, PA, so must not be violating any NJ laws, and PA seems to have pretty relaxed laws by comparison. I'm juts not sure about crossing in to and out of NY. Thanks! MC

I bought the M&P 9L from him today. He was very nice, and helpful. Showed me everything, let me shoot it, smooth transaction. Also the gun seems extremely well maintained. Here's a photo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2qnbja21wu5k4w/IMG_20120808_124500.jpg Thanks! MC

I was in there today and asked if they had an M&P 9 and they said they had sold the one they had yesterday, I guess to you. Congrats! I was just browsing anyway. MC

It's probably too late if you're going tomorrow but you can build a target frame, they have plans on their site here: http://www.anjrpc.org/?rangerules#Target Frame They also sell them, I don't know how much they are, and they sell paper targets, but if you look around here, there's an NJ Gun Forums target you can print out and bring.
