  1. Has this been confirmed or rebutted yet? I just reloaded a batch of polymer tips.
  2. Shows how times have changed. When I moved in '96. The police left the new card at the front desk with an ink pad so I could take my own thumbprint.
  3. Sweet! Gonna be 60º Monday; that'll give you one good riding day this week. By wearing Harley FXRG gear, you can ride all winter. Just never go out if there's any chance of ice on the road. I learned that lesson the hard way.
  4. You can rent guns at Pocono pistol range in PA. Super friendly guys who aren't all over you while you shoot. From there you you can drive a short distance to Dunkelbergers in Stroudsberg where they have a large selection and are usually happy to let you browse.
  5. I've been using Viridian as a provider since the spring. I've saved money every month, electric and gas. It's a legitimate business model. Save money by spot buying, something pse&g can't do. There's a risk that you can be caught short in any given month but you can opt out any time. Your savings will depend largely on the provider you pick. Choose wisely.
  6. If I understand you correctly, I could take my handgun to my shore home and then go buy some hollow points, transport them straight there from the store, and be perfectly legal.
  7. The trouble is I can never have just "one" of anything.
  8. How about the 300 blackout? Supposed to be a 7.62 bullet designed for the AR platform.
  9. Welcome to NJ! Even with all the nut-busting gun laws we have here, you'll find that there are a whole lot of people who are really passionate about guns and their right to own them in this state.
  10. Bolt for me. I think a bolt would be easier to operate in the prone position although I've never tried with a lever action.
  11. I think promoting gun rights is better served by correcting misconceptions (and blatant lies) about guns and gun owners on nj.com. I have no problem with premium membership fees for special features, but I think that in general having hidden forums hurts exposure. Let's face it; this forum doesn't get a lot of traffic.
  12. Being limited to 100 yards is a nonstarter for me. I'll take Cherry Ridge.
  13. I was talking to a manager in Dunkelbergers yesterday and he said they're averaging 20 used guns per day walking in the door right now. He said people need money to pay their bills. I don't think it's a good time to sell a collection to a store.
  14. It's probably more like "guns used in burglaries have often been stolen." Not quite the same thing.
  15. That weight might not be so bad. I have an a1 stock and it's so light I was thinking of added some weight to better balance the gun.
  16. Do you have a benchrest bag? Even one of those cheap Caldwells will help if it's a motion/flinching problem. . As far as bore sighting, take out the bolt, look down the bore at the target and see where your dot is pointing, align if necessary. At twenty-five yards that will get you on the paper but you can't do it without a rest.
  17. In one you're removing material (machining). In the other, you're adding material. It's all still CAD (computer aided design). 3D printing seems to be the common term for it, at least for the ones here.
  18. The last time I bought ammo at the Paramus store after I passed $100 worth of shells the counter guy pulled out a coupon for 20% off and gave it to me. Made the price competitive. Generally though, I buy in PA or Dicks when they have a buy one get the next half off sale.
  19. Exactly where in the area? There are a lot of towns in northeast Jersey that might be a better fit if you fill in some details.
  20. An electric wheelchair (if it was electric) can be on top of you in a second. Probably shorter than the time needed to distinguish between a knife and a pen.
  21. Wood and silicon is a bad mix. That's why I never use spray polishes.
  22. You see a guy breaking into your car. You're in no danger. You call the cops and take his picture with your cell phone. He sees you and starts coming at you with a knife. You now draw your gun legally, I think. The question is can you hold him as a threat to the public? Which really means would you or could you shoot him in the back if he turns to run?
  23. Since when did kids shooting off fireworks become a "tactical" situation? Guess I've been a grown up too long. One note to OP. My friend lost his right eye to a direct shot from a large bottle rocket. He sued the property owner and won a large settlement. I wouldn't let anyone shoot off 'works in my yard. Better to send the kids to the park (only in a state where it's legal, of course).
  24. Really, when you think about it this is nuts. Fireworks? You knock on the front door and tell the guy to cut it out, Now! You don't sneak around his yard. It's a great way to turn a minor situation into a tragedy. He's lucky his dog wasn't shot. I gotta think that the cops were looking to catch underage drinking when they heard: party, fireworks, teenagers.
