I'm just looking at the WASR prices from the pre 2012 election season and they were around $350-400. I'll just wait until the whole scare dies down again and pick one of those up. The Mak90's seem very high on armslist and gunbroker too. Most of them are well over $700 for lousy shape.

SAR2 5.45x39 Saiga 7.62x39 Colt M4 (this might be going soon, I hate the AR platform, probably COE it to my father for his birthday)

As far as location. Are there any close to the NJ border? I understand the laws. As long as I buy through an FFL and it's NJ compliant it's cool, or if it's through an individual we have to transfer through an FFL as well. Looking into buying AK pattern long guns.

There are usually matches the 4th weekend of every month. Most of the time all the ranges are closed so there's no point in going.

Exactly. I have Guild Wars 2 but I ordered a Playstation for Final Fantasy and the Smackdown! games.

Newark is supposed to have a police force of about 2000. Right now we have 800. ECPO is down to about 40 people when they need 120, EC Sheriffs is down in numbers too. I'm hoping that I'll be selected from the list for the next class.

Why should we have to live in fear of discussing whats on our mind? That' ridiculous. I believe in freedom of expression, I'm sick of this political correctness and that anything I say will automatically be used against me and makes me a criminal. We don't live in a Warsaw pact nation or in AXIS WWII countries so why must we live in fear of expressing ourselves. If big brother is reading this I got two words for him, suck it.

Moving really is the best option. Newark will never improve. A week before I stopped those guys, another one of my friends trunks was robbed. His sound system was stolen. I have a feeling it was the same two guys because both cars were Honda Accords so they might have a dealer key. I live around the corner from a bar and I've had countless drunks sleeping on my porch along with scuffles in the street every weekend, typically over some ugly girl. One guy was beating down another guy with my garbage on garbage day.... Once I can afford to move, I'm out of here. Either Edgewater with that beautiful NYC view or a different state like PA or LA.

It's just typical Newark. Two guys popped my friends trunk last week. I ran outside with a Katana and screamed at them and they took off like rockets. Calling the police here is useless.

I'm not made of money or anything! I just had put away money for a vacation to Japan and my friends backed out, so I figured I could buy a few cheap rifles and still have enough for Brazil next year for the World Cup. I grabbed a SAR-2 a Colt M4 and I'm looking into an SKS or Mak90, and if I could find an Arisaka Type 99 it would be in my possession instantly!

I don't want to look like a madman, but I've picked up two rifles this month and I'm interested in a third, has anyone else ever done this?

The problem is finding a Saiga. They're outrageously priced at the moment or out of stock. I went SAR-2 which is supposed to be one of the best. and had it shipped to GS Hunters. They're saying it's substantially identical and it'll need modifications! Hope to clear it all up tomorrow because it's certainly NJ compliant in it's current state (except the mags!)

Midway wont ship to NJ, at least when I tried.

I'm being told it's substantially identical? There is no muzzle break, the stock is fixed wood and the receiver doesn't say AK on it anywhere.

I would buy the P88 Compact. The Hi Power's are more readily available and not worth as much. P88's typically go for over $1000

I say buy it online. Unless it's cheaper locally or something I can't find on the net, I buy online and have it transferred. I believe every dollar counts, especially when you have to go driving around to all these dealers. I don't know about you but my vehicles have terrible fuel economy! Don't forget that you'll also get wacked with tax on top of the transfer fee if you buy locally. Case in point, let's say a 92FS is $615 at a local store and it's $520 at lambos armory right now. I'd rather buy it online, with free shipping no less, pay the $30-40 transfer fee and NICS fee then pay $615+3.5/7% tax+NICS. To each their own.

It might have been a joke since we are somewhat friendly, but I was persistent when it took almost 5 months for the last three and maybe he was annoyed. Money is tight right now anyway. I would buy a Glock 21 in OD if I had one more permit but I think they'll be around for awhile now.

Your tax dollars are supporting their economy though, so that's a moot point. We're going to be repaying China for the stimulus package for YEARS. I say clone, not knockoff. If you look at the firearms I own, I'm not prejudice/bias. I have American & European made weapons. I don't know if the patents have expired or if they're being used under license but you can apply the same principals to the majority of firearms out there. If I were to go buy that mentality the only AR's that should be on the market are Armalite or Colt and 1911's should only be made by the companies around during their introduction. FEG shouldn't be making Hi-Powers... the list goes on

Don't buy a firearm based on available ammunition, buy it based on what you like! I scour the internet in my limited free time for the best deals I can find on ammunition. I recently picked up brass 9mm for $11.99 a box on the web. Even with shipping, buying off the net tends to be cheaper considering I have a v8 truck and the rising cost of gas..

I mean even if you want a US made 1911 your options are incredibly limited. Para? I'm not sure if the S&W's are entirely made here. The frames on most Springfields are made in Brasil. Not everyone has Colt or custom build money. Even so, a lot of the small parts are probably made overseas or in Mexico. We live in a global economy.

Everything that happens in the world today is the result of a Stand Alone Complex. If you don't believe me, read the description: A Stand Alone Complex can be compared to the emergent copycat behavior that often occurs after incidents such as serial murders or terrorist attacks. An incident catches the public's attention and certain types of people "get on the bandwagon", so to speak. It is particularly apparent when the incident appears to be the result of well-known political or religious beliefs, but it can also occur in response to intense media attention.

From current importation that is. I know there was some flak in the mid 90's about them trying to smuggle weapons into So-Cal but that was just the scutlebutt. Importation of Norinco would be devastating to US firearm manufacturers. $300 quality (they've vastly improved since the last time they were imported here) 1911's. M14's for all! I think they go for $400 in Canada. AK pattern rifles for about $400 even in the recession, SKS's so cheap they could be given away, just look at Canadian prices. Norinco also makes clones of Sig's and other weapons that typically go for three times the price. As crippling as it would be to the big US companies, it would also lessen the cost of a quality self defense tool and potentially expose more to the shooting sports. I know I would buy because I'm not one of those people that say "I'LL NEVER BUY FROM COMMIES" yet I own a TV, cell phone, and computer made in China..... I look for the best price, I don't care where what I buy is made.

If it wasn't for the license plate law, or the window tint law, or the "loud exhaust" law, small town cops would have very little action. We all know it. Where I live (Newark where there's plenty of other stuff going on ) I never had to worry about a front plate ticket, I never get bothered for a loud exhaust (which is catted and completely NJ legal, even passed inspection at the DMV). As soon as I go into a small boro that's when I get profiled. 9/10 times if I have my Puerto Rican friend with me we instantly get pulled over. Tell me that's not profiling. And no I'm not some young punk kid. I'm a small business manager with BA's in History and Foreign Affairs and a minor in Asia studies so go figure.
