Thanks for all the replies! MidwestPX and Remixer are choice vendor's to deal with. I ended up going with the following: MidwestPX 16" Barrel Spikes Dynacomp Extreme Muzzle Brake Odin Gas Block I will be picking up a rail system and mbus sights soon. Thanks again for all your help! Ray

Hey all, I need some help on finishing my first AR build. I still need a barrel, muzzle break, gas block and tube. Also all the front furniture and sights. So far I have: spikes lower spikes upper spikes bcg psa lpk bcm charging handle magpul grip magpul fixed carbine stock milspec buffer tube setup I have about 400 to 500 in it already. It's gonna be a range toy and HD. I'd like to keep it under $1000. What's the best way to finish this rifle off? I was thinking a spikes dyna comp brake but am up for any suggestions. Thanks in advance! Ray

I'd like to order a barrel and muzzle brake and ship to a reputable person in NJ that can pin it for me. Any recommendations?

My brother in-law put in for his permits 2.5 weeks ago in Morris Township, NJ and just got the call. Initial and two P2PP. That has to be a record. When he dropped the app off they said a month. I received the reference form 2 days later. +1 for Morris Township PD

Thanks everyone for your input! I said f'it and made the purchase. If the stock falls short I will just buy the "enhanced" buttpad and hope for the best.

Hey all, Building my first AR. Already have a Spike's lower and PSA P-Tac LPK. I am considering the MOE Fixed Carbine Stock over a pinned adjustable one. Definitely would to try one out before I make the purchase. Does anyone have any experience with it? My other questions is on the buffer tube assembly. Ebay has a plethora of $30 generic milspec carbine tube assemblies. There are also $100+ dollar Spike assemblies. What's the best choice on for this. I'd like to keep my first build reasonable but don't want to cut corners just to have problems later. What's everyone thinking on this one? Thanks! Ray

Yeah I hear you. Keep me in the loop. I'd be interested in seeing how long it takes for you. Last year I submitted in Jan and it came back in April. Trooper sad expect the same result.

That it does! Lost out on the money order fee since they didn't take that. It does notify the barracks directly that the background check fee has been paid according to the Trooper. He alluded to the fact that once he sees that it goes right to next step. Maybe not streamlining but a small reminder to proceed on.

Submitted my app to the Augusta Barracks this morning for 3 pp2p. Handed over the $18 money order and the Trooper politely informed me that they are no longer accepting them and handed me a paper with instructions on how to pay online. The online payment process was easy breezy. Just a heads up to anyone going to NJSP in Augusta. Not sure if they will accept them in extenuating circumstances. Nice to see some streamlining in the process.

Hello all, Been on the hunt for a new (cheap) 22 rifle and have been debating on the obvious choices (10/22, Model 60, Mark II, etc...) to get me setup for some plinkin'. I ended up taking home the Marlin for all the reasons the sales person said were downsides. IE the tube mag and lack of accessories compared to the 10/22. I don't plan on doing anything to it because I like it just the way it is. I also like the tube mag for the same reason I own revolvers! A nice example of the Model 60 at a great price. I paid $199.99 @ Cabela's. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Marlin-60-DLX-Deluxe-Semiautomatic-Rimfire-Rifle/1708316.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dmarlin%2Bmodel%2B60%2BDLX%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=marlin+model+60+DLX&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products

On Sunday 9-3. Mount Bethel, PA. Benefits the Fire Company. I assume it is a small show. Anyone going?

That's how I feel about it. If I get a box of 9 for 14.99 and .38 for 19.99 I can't really argue. Any of the LGS sell it for $5+ more then Walmart or Dicks. I can't say I'd buy more then ammo from those stores. Anything else would be done at the LGS.

I guess the Remington Golden Bullet 22LR doesn't have the best reviews now that I have some time to browse the web. Also the bullet seems to be pretty loose to the point of spinning. Is that normal?

Oh boy, did I open a can of worms. I don't really care for the store either way but I don't anticipate any issues with my ammo purchases. Any one else care to chime in?

New Dick's in Bartonsville, PA right off I-80. It opened yesterday and as of tonight it is stocked to the gills with all kinds of ammo. The usual 3 box limit. Was able to score a Bucket of Bullets 22LR HP for $60.

Nope not the Talo Edition. Had one eyed up but it disappeared off gunbroker yesterday.

Thanks people! I have been trying to find a 3" for a while. 4" seems to be around as a few local shops have them. I ended up jumping on it because my already extended permit expires in a month. The guy had 3 yesterday and 1 left today. Figured it was time! Ray

Just purchased a new 686 plus 3" on gunbroker.com! I can't wait until it arrives at my local FFL in a few days. Any 686 owners out there want to share their experience or thoughts on them? I'll post a pic just as soon as I have it in my hands! Ray

It is. Walt is a very good guy to deal with. Hackettstown Guns and Ammo is highly recommended!

I'll go home and double check all of this then report back. I may even post a video to show whats happening. Thanks for all the details people. Ray

I called Walt to clarify on the 15 RD mags. He did in fact switch them out. He has a standing agreement with S&W that if he orders a 17RD they send 15 RD ones as well so he can swap and send the non compliant ones back. He said he might even be the only dealer in NJ they do this for since he hasn't found anyone else that does. Maybe because of his volume with S&W or something! Thanks Ray

There is a picture on page 30 of the Safety and Instruction Manual that depicts how to tell if your gun has the safety feature or not. When I look at my gun it has a the small silver bar next to the shear disconnect that s&w says is the magazine disconnect but I can still put an empty mag in, rack, pop it out, and pull the trigger and "click". Ray

This looks promising besides the fact that it is a 17 rd model. Maybe mine is actually a SKU# 206301LE. http://www.budspolicesupply.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/748

I don't think he would remove it. Maybe I just don't understand the mag disconnect. If I pop in an empty mag, rack, and remove the mag should the trigger be able to be pulled and subsequently "click" or does the mag safety only work when there is a round in the chamber? Thanks, Ray
