Gunbroker.com vs local dealer
you always have to weigh the pros and cons with online v. local. Sometimes you will find a better deal online (and yes, even on GB) than you can in a local shop. Sometimes, a local shop is more convenient because they do it all in one place.. Sometimes, no local shops have what you are looking for (in my case) and you HAVE to buy online (and yes, i got my CZ through GB). $100 less through GB is a pretty decent amount of scratch.. However, some LGS's will have an issue if you purchase online what they have in their stores/inventory and could charge you a higher transfer price (some wont, but i've heard that some will).

Dumb Question: is it me or the sights?
i have the same problem (slightly to the left). I am thinking its me.. it'll get there with more practice.. this pic was from a few weeks ago... im going to shoot my fathers MP9 this weekend and want to see if im still to the left and see how he shoots it... a couple outliers but not too bad for only 3rd time shooting

Help with fence removal
your trash company may be able to help you if you call for bulk pickup.. not sure if you have private trash pickup or town though.. i know i have scheduled freehold cartage (private company) to pick up couches, etc. from our house and they will do it, and it only costs like $30 or $40.. you could look in the yellow pages for trash removal or something like that in your area and call some of those places...

One person dead at a Lakewood Range
i know this is a question that no one may have the answer to, and it may sound like a strange question, but does anyone know what gun it was that he used? not a morbid fascination or anything, but I have rented a few different guns there, and im just curious in my own mind if this person used one of the ones I rented from them... sorry if that sounds weird, but it would make me feel a bit creepy...

.22LR pricing
yep.. i was lucky enough to get 3 boxes of this from PSA at that time (was a PITA though, had to go thru the checkout process 6 times before it was accepted).. hopefully it will ship out in the next couple weeks (they are notoriously slow with shipping right now)

How to rid mice?
We had mice last year in the walls/attic... We tried trapping which worked but we kept catching them.. So we ended up having terminix set poison traps that dehydrated them to the point they would leave the house in search of water (even though it wouldn't save them) and I have not had a problem since

Fiocchi 9mm 14.99
That would be great but not likely to happen

One person dead at a Lakewood Range
Ok is some complaining about a range charging $20 per box of ammo? Unless that was just an example, $20 per box is on the low side.. You will always have to but their ammo if you rent their guns.. They don't know what kind of ammo you are bringing in.. Could be steel, could be reloads.. Neither of which are allowed.. So that way they know what you are shooting is new brass ammo.. Most ranges are that way.. Back to original topic, now that I have my fid, I wouldn't care if they went to fid to rent but I would have been been pissed since I had no other way to try something.. But it's something I think will be looked at.. As will "more than 1 person" to rent like other places have

Noob question, never shot a shotgun before.

Fiocchi 9mm 14.99
they had PMC Bronze as well, and i had 5 in my cart.. put my card number in and it was gone before i could hit submit.. wtf? when you have something in your cart, why cant they placehold that until you check out? that annoys the f*ck out of me..

Your First 9
my first, bought abot a month ago, is a CZ 75B Stainless.. everything i researched on it said it was one of the most comfortable guns around, and the recoil is minimal (very heavy)..Plus, i loved the stainless look.. and it is so very very comfortable in the hand, and the recoil is minimal as i read.. The Beretta 92fs Inox was probably second on my list..

The Cicadas Are Coming!
i think you are mis-reading what we were talking about.. we weren't talking about the cicadas having stingers, but the cicada-killing wasps that have stingers..

Cabelas Restricted Shipping on Primers to NJ.
why would they have restrictions on primers but not on actual ammo? that makes such little sense
-
The Cicadas Are Coming!
i think its more the fear of the cicada-killing wasps (they are big, ugly and CAN sting if they want).. cicada's themselves dont really bother me.. they are just big and ugly and loud.. my house didnt really see many of them last time around (2004) even though we are in the middle of woods on all sides.

The Cicadas Are Coming!
ive had an irrational fear of bees (of any kind) since i was younger as well.. unless its a honey bee, i kill a stinging insect on sight. Wasps, hornets, other bees, mosquitos, etc. and any other insect inside my home at any time (except lady bugs). im deadly with my hat at swatting bugs
-
The Cicadas Are Coming!
they can sting, but dont typically unless you f*ck with their nest... tennis racquet should do the trick.. a little topspin and away they go...

Their banging away at FT Dix again

For Anyone Looking for a CZ 75B...
im guessing they dont have a lot at this point in time.. and yeah, they were cheaper a couple years ago.. hell, even a year ago.. poly ones can still sell for $500-$600 now, but all stainless models are considerably more.. same way with the Berettas.. the Inox are about $100+ more than the blued versions. In this market, $710 for a matte stainless 75B (and already NJ legal) is a pretty good price, and the fact that they are in stock makes it a really good deal.. hey, this thread was only meant for those that are looking for a 75B.. those that are have a good opportunity to get one that is very hard to find at a good price in this market...
