NJSP calls references in my neck of the woods, but recently processed permits without contacting some references. Still takes 6 months to get a permit.

Pardon the dumb question but what exactly is an SPR build, special purpose rifle? Is it strictly an 18" barrel? Thanks in advance!

Either mustard, chili. kraut or red onions...never ketchup!

Measure the cross sectional diameter of the o-ring then buy a larger o-ring with the same cross sectional diameter and cut it down with a razor and then just glue it with crazy glue. Pool o-rings are Buna-Nitrile (Bune-N) and glue perfectly with any solvent type cement. If you have any questions PM me.

I will forward this onto my wife, she already enjoys shooting but feels self conscious being the only female shooting most of the time.

Let's face it, the dems are pushing this so that in the next election they can point to Christie or any other republican that didn't support this and show how they are weak on guns or that they work for the all powerful "gun lobby". They will then use this as a cornerstone of their campaign in 2016. We need to call them out on this and let everyone know that we see it for what it is worth, a red herring meant to detract from the fact that their leadership is ineffective. We all know that violence is out of control in parts of this state, primarily due to gang and drug related violence in several inner cities. And we also know that there is no easy fix for these problems and that any attempt to fix it will take years, many years, so that takes it off the political agenda for anyone who seeks reelection every 4 years.

I actually use GunBroker to window shop and get ideas on best case prices and I then go back to a local vendor and have always been successful at finding the same item at an equal or comparable price, once you figure in any shipping and transfer fees.

Exactly...just because they can't legally call it ham doesn't change the name one bit!

I am married with 3 kids so my funds are always low!

There are plenty of vendors, several that I know of on this forum that will sell you a pellet rifle without any problems and I know of a a few that will probably beat Dick's prices as well!

I have been calling at least 2 times a week and have sent several emails and a brief letter as well. I also recruited several friends that I shoot with to do the same. One was reluctant until Informed him that his Walther pistol, the one that has 15 round mags, that he bought because he felt it was his best option for a HD gun, would have to go down to 10 round mags.

Keep your eyes open, there will be sales somewhere between now an July 4.

Welcome- and go for it on the 300 Win mag, you won't be disappointed!

Same here, a few of us called, sent emails and tried to write the higher ups but they wouldn't budge.

Thanks, I almost gave up finding NJ compliant uppers that don't need a muzzle device pinned. I was hoping to find something a bit less expensive but after I figure in the compliance work this isn't that bad.

Exactly!

Well, my build is progressing slowly, mainly due to having 3 kids in 6 different sports and having to run them all over the state! I am at a point where I am looking to buy a complete upper and have been looking at some of the PSA offerings, mainly because they are within my budget. I plan on staying away from the PTAC stuff, as it looks like the PSA stuff is somewhat better quality. I have a complete PSA BCG, LPK and the Delton receiver. I am hoping to get the upper receiver this month then a linear comp to replace the flash hider and then a charging handle. I am thinking about this- PSA 16" Mid-length Freedom Stainless Steel 1/7 Dissipator - Without BCG or Charging Handle http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-16-mid-length-freedom-stainless-steel-1-7-dissipator-without-bcg-or-charging-handle.html Or possibly this- PSA 16" M4 Premium SS12G2 - Without BCG or Charging Handle http://palmettostatearmory.com/index.php/psa-16-m4-premium-ss12g2-without-bcg-or-charging-handle.html I know they are both completely different, but like I said before, my main goal is to build an AR for the sake of building it and both of these uppers look like they will do what I want, both are 1:7 twist, which is also in line with what I am looking for, one is stainless and the other is chrome lined, so either should be fine for what I need. Is there anything I should watch out for with either of these, anything markedly better at a similar price? Thanks in advance!

That sure beats my 160 day average!

Exactly...the longest 10 years in a woman's life is typically from 39 to 40!

We have a 105# Chesapeake Bay retriever that will look at the deer and bark but if they move toward her she runs for cover. We have an 8# rescue cat that will stalk any deer in our back yard and run after them when she sees them Go figure!

Yea- I just saw that. What a joke!

Yes- and how sad is that....

Unfortunately I think you are correct, but it did seem like Blazer was able to put at least a little out on the market for a decent price, hopefully othere follow suit.

Let's face it, the current operating model is not sustainable. Even with some of the fiscal changes made in recent years it is not nearly enough. Look at the jobs that are moving away, they are all good paying jobs in industries like Pharma. Look at the jobs that are staying, state employment, teachers and local police. Can someone tell me who is going to pay the taxes to support these jobs if there are no high paying jobs and no commercial businesses? Not that these aren't necessary services but we there needs to be some kind of net income generation and there simply is not. If I can find a job outside NJ I will be gone too, even my wife agrees.

Looks great, let us know how it shoots!
