Got an email saying my order was cancelled- back-ordered and not available.

Congrats! I got my first one a couple of weeks ago. You should be able to find a bayonet fairly cheap somewhere.

I submitted my P2P paperwork to the Hamilton NJSP this past Monday and they told me at least 4 months.

Yea- I like the 70, but I felt like I couldn't jump on the first rifle I saw, plus it was fairly well used, at least on the exterior. The bore looked good, so I may go back and take a second look at it.

Feed him my wife's tuna casserole, he will die a slow violent death.

Some internet sites do ask for a NJFID and a DL, I believe they ask for the DL as a form of age verification though.

As the others stated, all you need is the FID alone and not a DL to buy handgun ammo in NJ.

I was in Sportsmen's Center today and witnessed 2 NICS, both done in 3 or 4 minutes.

I actually thought about the .257 and also strongly considered the .26 Remington as well. I keep teetering between most of these calibers. I like the flexibility and number of options in the .243, but also like the ability to shoot slightly heavier projectiles in the .25 or .26 calibers. Just got back from Cheyenne Outfitters and Sportsman's center and all they had was a used Winchester 70 in 25-06. I will keep looking.

Looking to get a smaller rifle, something I can put plenty of rounds down range with and something I can use to start teaching my eldest (13) to move beyond a 22. Don't want to go below 243, and don't want to go too big (I already have a 308 & 30-06, among a few others). I will be reloading, so ammo shouldn't be an issue as long as I can get brass for it. I know .243 is probably more popular, but I am still on the fence. May use it for hunting, up to small deer (maybe) but mostly to teach the kids to shoot beyond 100 yards, and to have a smaller bore that I can have some fun with.

I am heading out this morning, if I find anything I will let you all know!

YEA! Great news. I will be heading out today to look for a new long gun!

Hopefully they are getting better. I applied in December 2012 and didn't get my FID until the end of May, and mine was only a change of address not a new card.

Wow- that was quick!

Probably a stupid question, but that never stopped me before. Does anyone know if these can be used at Range 14 or do you have to use target stands that are driven directly in the ground?

RIP- way too young, but at least doing what he loved. We often forget how dangerous the sport really is!

Got cough drops in my last order.

Got the same email as well, I am going to just let it ride. If prices for 22 LR prices plummet I can always cancel it, otherwise I may need in come fall shooting time (got 3 childern that all like to shoot 22).

I get the 5-hour free energy dring every now and then, that stuff is pretty dangerous, can cause heart failure and even death....I gave it to the wife.

At least you have a local PD, those of us who have to go through the NJSP have waited, on average, close to 6 months. Keep calling, be polite but let them know you are in top of it. Contact the chief, then the mayor and if you have pro2A state representatives contact them as well. You can also reach out to the state AG and let him know what is going on.

My scenario exactly, but my wife definitely makes out on the deal...I got a Mosin, she got a new living room set.

On the flip side, some could be purchasing more than 1 gun on a NICs check.

12 days for one, 11 days for the other.

Easily my 686, which was also my first handgun bought way back when I turned 21.

She still has 10X more shoes than I have guns...
