I thanked the guy for his service when I realized he was a marine, and this was the most recent reply: My husbands actually the one in the Marines But it actually means a lot when people acknowledge what he does. I'm always available on my cell phone number that you have. I don't have an eBay account I don't really do online auctions usually for the same reason your speaking of now. I have a Facebook as does my husband so that u could see we're real people and about a hundred people that would be willing to attest to our trustworthiness. If need be i can also give you my husbands command information. If we can't use PayPal I will go get exact shipping cost and you can send me a certified check so it can be tracked. Also would need to confirm the FFL information before I can ship it. I will probably put the scope in a separate flat rate box if that's okay with you just to make sure nothing happens to it. Anything else just email me or feel free to call Thanks Morgan ...I actually don't have a bad feeling anymore, now that I know I've been talking to the wife. The husband probably wrote the item description for her.

nah- good post man! That portable hacksaw was also what I was talking about. Feather light, sharp as hell, great for firewood.

Stupid liberal brainwashed college kids. If it was me and I knew who called the cops, I'd find a way for that guy to get his butt kicked... after I got my FID back, of course. It's not right that heresay can lose someone their constitutional rights.

Do you also understand that, the way the law is written, you could have a VERY BAD TIME of it, with the "substantially identical" clause, depending on what side of the bed the cop or judge got up on that morning? Right or wrong, no one wants to be dealing with that crap. Just like stated earlier in this thread, Christie commuted Aitken's sentence because he was "right", but he's still a convicted felon with no voting or 2nd amendment rights. If youre LIVING HERE, it's not as easy to be cavalier with this stuff. Altho, after reading all the responses in this thread, I will give my local FFL the chance to "call his guy in trenton", because he's 5 minutes from my house, and I would like to develop a relationship with him, but otherwise will have no problem calling East Brunswick Sports to get the gun transferred.

Why the condescension? From someone in... PENNSYLVANIA????? It's no secret the NJ laws are purposefully confusing...

idk, but alot of people think that, including my local FFL.

help me out guys... email replies: Hi Eric.. not a scammer i promise.. my address probably wont come up because we live on a marine corps base and i still have my cell phone number from back home, this is the first time we have ever wanted to sell a firearm as to why there is no feedback! if it would make you feel more comfortable you can call me but i promise we arent scammers!! Thanks Morgan Turner Also i see your from NJ? From what i understand you cant ship a mag to NJ correct me if im wrong but thats just what i have picked up from questions from other buyers! [i had requested he not ship the 20 round mag... the "other buyer" was probably me, several days ago, when I asked him if he would keep the mag...] It does appear Camp Lejune (where he says he bought the gun) IS in tarawa terrace, nc... would a marine corp base address not show up on google maps?

I've read all over postal MO offers little protection. Basically sam as cash. Feds not interested in a one-off mail fraud, only the big boys. This guy hasn't sold anything on gunbroker, zero feedback.

hmm... well, I won the auction, BUT..... I looked up the guys' real name and address... -the address can't be found on google maps -the phone number is for cumberland. md (when the address is for tarawa terrace, nc) -I can find no other "internet trail" on the seller based on his name & alleged location ...I'm not sending payment unless I can be somehow assured this guy is who he says he is, and is where he says he is FWIW, when the guy first listed the rifle, I emailed him and asked if he'd ship without the 20 round mag, as I can't have it anyway. He replied "yeah no problem, I was going to just throw the mag in there anyway", and "I was going to get some more pics up tonight"... "tonight" came and went so a couple days later I asked for more pics of the rifle and scope, and about a day later he replied and posted pics of the rifle and scope. It SEEMS alright, but emails are of course just typing, easy to lie, but I have to say... finding pics of a Ruger Mini-30 Tactical with a scope lying BESIDE it wouldn't be easy to do if you were scamming someone... Here's the link, yes I overpayed but these guns are IMPOSSIBLE to find... I'd love some opinions, given the info I've provided... http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=307429712

Not true, but I'll leave it at that. You're review of Gerber making good stuff is spot-on, and the Grylls' stuff is no different.

So... we have TSA (and PAY them)... WHY???? Wait... they're a union, aren't they? That would explain it.

HOW IN THE HELL did her purse make it thru the x-ray machine?!?!?

I have the knife, love it. Long ago I went more lightweight, so I won't carry an axe, or machete, or trench tool. I have a tiny plastic shovel for digging cat holes, and if in a group ONE person brings a saw (light, aluminum handle/band saw blade) for cutting larger wood. Most wood we burn is simply breakable, larger logs we put on the fire and feed in as necessary. I WOULD carry the machete if I knew I'd be going off-trail/bushwacking, but still wouldn't take the axe or the trench tool. And to add: Bear is the real deal. I know some people love to hate him, but anyone who has completed SAS training and climbed Everest has stones. His new book, auto-bio, is really good.... none of the Man vs Wild stuff, it's all about how he became who he is... highly recommended.

Thanks PK90. Was hoping other FFLs would chime in. (thanks also to East Brunswick Sportsman)

I'm looking at a rifle on gunbroker, and the seller has no feedback (everybody has to start somewhere, I once had no feedback on ebay)... anyway, he specifies MO/certified check or paypal for payment.... now, GB FAQs say paypal doesn't allow their service to be used for firearms or firearms accessories? I was going to use paypal because of the buyer protection, but it looks like I can't? And if that's so, why is it even an option when you list an item? Also- with a CC or MO, is there any way to get your money back if you're taken? On a personal check you can stop payment... but what about a CC or MO? The amount is around $800 btw. I know GB covers up to $500 with a $100 deductible, but that's not good enough in this case...

I'm quickly beginning to agree.... just like CA, alot of retailers just seem to not want to ship to NJ just so there's no questioning/risk. Seems an awful lot of dealers on Gunbroker will ship to NJ tho... but usually not CA.

That's me... I think it's probably technically illegal, but I'm not that worried about it. So are ground fires, and people have fire pits all the time. Especially since I'm not shooting a high-powered 1300fps pellet gun, just a "toy" Daisy Red Ryder, the BB wouldn't even make it into my neighbor's yard... but yeah- I'll bet it's technically illegal. I know guys who shoot .22s in there backyards in NJ. They also don't live in a highly populated neighborhood, but it's still illegal.

1 large tupperware 1 set cheap car mats construction adhesive 4 lag bolts/nuts/washer ...a hair over $20, I can put the lid on it & leave it outside, I can shoot full cans if I want to and just hose it out when done, and I can trap any bbs that don't penetrate the cans. Whaddya think?

So, is intimidation (through misinformation) SOP with some law enforcement? (and please, don't start the "don't bash the LEOs" stuff... I'm not doing that, but have a recent experience where a Trooper may be giving similar false information to my FFL.)

May do that. I was hoping more FFLs would chime in... since mine seems to be questioning. I also had another FFL here tell me he'd do the transfer as well (I did a price check request, he got back to me)

I did that. My local FFL is well-liked, no one has a problem with him, I think the fact that it's called a "flash suppressor" instead of a "muzzle brake" has him questioning. After I sent him a copy of that "clarification letter" he agreed with me, but then was told by his trooper friend (who worked in the firearms section of the dept) that no flash suppressor is legal, ever (which I don't believe, the way the law is written.) If this turns into an "issue" with him, I will use one of the other FFLs here for the transfer (it won't be new, they are impossible to find... the tactical version is, anyway.)

Well, that's what I'm trying to find out, FOR SURE! I don't want to make a mistake on this. FWIW, the Springfield M1A Scout Squad has a removable flash supressor (the manual calls it a flash supressor, the website calls it a muzzle brake), and it's legal...

Can anyone verify 100% that by welding the flash hider onto the barrel it's 100% legal? Hell, I can silver solder the thing myself.

No. No pistol grip.

That's my reading of the law as well, but I'm getting different answers from FFLs and LEOs, so I want to be SURE. My local FFL said if I bought it (online, he can't get one) he'd call Trenton and talk to the "head guy that knows everything" to get the answer... and that the answer might be removing the "flash supressor" and replacing with a "muzzle break"... which is legal. I don't even care, I just don't want to spend the extra $100 to replace like with like.
