No bueno

+1 Steve @ Monmouth Arms

Bedminster PD, Bedminster Township, Somerset County, NJ Dropped off application for change of address and 2 p2pp on 6/29/2015. Informed it could take up to 5 weeks. Got the call today (7/22/2015) that they are ready for pickup. 23 DAYS! They have a very courteous and efficient employee working on applications as part of her job. Called once to inform me that they received everything but the mental health portion from my previous county. Called two days later to say they received it and they were ready to be picked up. Great job BPD!

Lol, I deleted it because of the man not because of you. Figured I'd eliminate a getting a felony charge using a simple google search.

Yeah I got it. Just another day in the life of an NJ gun owner trying to enjoy the sport and navigate successfully through all the rules and regs.

From HexMag: All of our magazines have a slight extra spacing to allow for any rifle to easily chamber the round without failing to feed. If you do load the 16th round in the magazine, you probably had to force it in and this will regularly make the magazine inoperable as the 16th round should not be able to be chambered. We have hired a law firm in the past to work with the DOJ to ensure our magazines were held to the highest assured compliance with the law. We have been informed that our magazine’s riser system is even better compliantly with the laws on restrictions instead of pinning or blocks. If you choose to force the 16th round in the magazine, you are then exceeding the intended use of the magazine and we are not accountable for it. Load 15 rounds into your magazine as intended and it is completely compliant with the law.

Received mine today! That was fast!

Anytime! Me too! From what I have seen so far on the web they look promising. There is a 3 month/1000 round review video on youtube that didn't turn up any major issues and they survived the usual torture tests of dropping them, running them over, etc.

If anyone is interested I found this deal from wise tactical: http://www.wisetactical.com/firearm-accessories/magazines-accessories/rifle-magazines/hexmag-15-30-15-round-223-5-56-magazine-co-nj-legal/ If you buy 4 or more you qualify for an additional 20% using coupon code HEXMAG20. Ray

Just wanted to update my progress. Went to GFH the other night. Man what a place. I passed it twice on the road due to the fact that it looks like no other gun range I've been to. Charlie fingerprinted me and took my photo for $10. App was already filled out and had made a copy of my NRA cert myself. Popped it in the mail the next day. I couldn't be happier. I will definitely go back to shoot. Ray

Awesome! I will contact GFH. Thanks, Ray

Gun for Hire is the way to go for sure. I've talked some people on this forum that seem to think you still need to go to the PD for fingerprinting since FL requires a LEO to do it. You seem to have first hand knowledge that is just not true. Am I missing something?

I guess for people like me who's county sheriff doesn't offer fingerprinting and local coverage is NJSP we don't have any other option besides going to a company like GFH or RTSP for one of their courses right? Ray

Hello All, I have a 60s era sporterized Mauser K98 that I'd like a gunsmith to look over. Basically want to know if the gun is safe to shoot and is still the original caliber. Does anyone know someone I could take this to in Sussex, Warren or Morris County? Thanks, Ray

Thanks for the input everyone. Everything worked out fine! Ray

If there was... I would just have to not buy and reapply and wait right?

I have a permit dated 5/28/2014 and has been extended. I haven't purchased in months and plan on purchasing Monday. Am I safe? According to my count and the online app that calculates 180 days I'm good? Something I'm missing?

I hear that. Pops never shot it or really even cRed for it for whatever reason. Literally inherited it then left in a closet until now.

I definitely like the keeping the sporter aspect of this rifle but I'm not sold on the current stock. Anyone see any harm in dropping this in a Hogue over molded synthetic or Brownell's wooden like the ones below: http://www.amazon.com/Hogue-Rubber-Molded-Military-Sporter/dp/B0010PWR0U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406414597&sr=8-1&keywords=k98+hogue http://www.brownells.com/rifle-parts/stock-parts/rifle-stocks/unfinished-mauser-98-stock-sku984100098-16646-37548.aspx Anyone know if this is a short action or standard action? Also should I leave the current finish or reblue professionally? Thanks for the input! Ray

I'll drop the wool. I actually only did some where the wood hides it so I hope I'm good. I'm trying to get pictures up but it's cumbersome to say the least. Here are some links: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3H8HNN4kHoQUDNRV01oM09RenFFc2xORTk1VFN4RExNOUl3/edit https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3H8HNN4kHoQVEFwNURyczU3aVFJMGlnTHJCY1NLTmFJT29N/edit https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3H8HNN4kHoQZmhQOGtJNWREX1B3VTIxYnMyRmk4TnpYMmlF/edit Did I mention there was electrical tape holding the barrel on? Also it looks like it's been once over on the finish side already! Ray

Hey All, We unearthed...un-closeted lol should I say a k98 in our house. Seemed to have been lost for a decade or so in my dad's place. His uncle gave it to him. Seems to be a amateur sporter job from the 60s. All numbers match and no electro penciling. I'm at a loss at what I should do. A scope has been mounted and sights have been hacked off. There is some rust and pitting but steel wool has been helping and the barrel is like a mirror (inside)! My question are really should I clean and mount it back to this stock. Which seems to be a hack job. I was thinking I should I buy a repro wood or synthetic stock and just clean it up a bit. I think it's too chopped up to be brought back to original specs which I'm not so sold on doing. Anyone have any info on this model and suggestions on what path I should take with it?

Hey All, Finally got around to my first AR Build. Thanks to Ty @ MidwestPX and Steve @ Monmouth Arms for all the help! Basic run down: Spikes Lower, Upper, BCG, MB Magpul Furniture and Sights Fortis Rev Rail PA LPK MidwestPX Barrel etc... It's been a hectic year so I haven't even had the chance to take it to the range. Soon enough! Ray

I agree. Had a few things worth noting. I missed a check box on the app and they called me a few months after I handed it in to take my response for the box over the phone. When I went to pick up my 3 permits only 2 were ready. They said the third never made it up and they would call to get it sent. They said it would be dated respectively.

I just got the call that my permits are ready. My two references didn't get a call or a letter. Approved without a reference check?
