I have a 5" M2 and absolutely love the gun. The trigger in it is unbelievable. I had never actually measured it so when I saw this post I went out and checked it with my Lyman Digital Gauge. It clocks in at between 4# 2 oz and 4# 4 oz. I had once tried someone's 4" M2 that had the Apex in it and it actually felt like a harder pull than mine but it does have a much shorter take up. Best of luck with yours, they make a great gun.

Believe me it fits as I have done it several times.

Not worth my hourly rate to go to that effort, but yes that is possible.

While the price Freedom gives you is not nearly as good as it was a year ago, you can fit a lot more than 30# in a flat rate box. When I was sending it in I always got over 50# and have gotten as much as 59# in one of those flat rate boxes.

Yup, got the email.

When will a decision be made if the match gets cancelled due to weather and where will it be posted?

Sorry to hear of your tragic loss.

Things change, once was.

Or if stopped by an anti gun cop (do they exist?) it could stand for US Police Service Association.

Got my new license plates in the mail today. I was shocked that it was actually available. Bet you can't find this plate untaken in a FREE state. What is great about it is that unlike something that say Glock, NRA, Gun, etc... only those that KNOW will know what it stands for. So honk or wave it you see the plate on the road

Throw it on the lawn of some anti gun person (Just kidding)

I just clicked on the link in Tapatalk and it opened the link with no problem.

Part of the problem is some of the amazingly stupid gun owners out there. I had a heated discussion with a guy here in NJ that shoots a .45 Colt Gold Cup or some other such gun who told me that The .223 rolls on impact. That's why there were only deaths in Newtown, no wounded. Are you on the NRA payroll? Heartless fool. He then proceeded to present the following article on why AR-15s should be banned: https://publichealthwatch.wordpress.com/2015/10/10/fact-check-the-gun-lobby-claims-assault-weapons-are-no-more-dangerous-than-hunting-rifles-the-human-body-begs-to-differ/

Agree 100% about Chubb. My parents have them and they are wonderful. Last year they were using their fireplace and the flue was not working right and backed smoke into the house. Chubb spent something like $20,000 cleaning stuff. They did much stuff my parents never even asked for.

I have had StateFarm for decades and have never had a problem with them and get lots of discounts.

Many are right and wrong here. A business has the right to set any policy they want that does not violate the law - so don't attack them for that. What they should not do is claim that a policy is the law when it is not; that is the only thing you can fault them for.

I think this is the way you play that game:

Actually once you apply NJ sales tax it is 24.05895 per round, plus you have to waste time and gasoline to get it. A few clicks on my computer two days ago and this 147 grain stuff just showed up at my door this morning for about 24 cents/round net delivered:

This time in Nice France, Truckman (not gunman) mows down crowd and at this point the death toll is over 70 with more likely to die from the 100 or so injured. Police shoot driver who supposedly was firing on them and had explosives. I know too soon but.... 0bama most likely has ruled this just workplace violence since truck drivers work on the road.

I would rather than see them chain guns have them install ballistic doors on the back of the port, that would protect all of us from crazy people. At least that way if someone wanted to off themselves they would not shoot someone else. It would also protect against a crazy that might decide to shoot other people.

Saw the article in a newspaper last night, hope all works out this time.

Not to mention the baby killing guns:(. This state and all it's Demotards suck!

Thanks, it was just a back of the envelop SWAG as I was typing it. Even if it is off by 50% it still shows the importance of the rental business. My guess is that it is a huge percentage of the customers during peak weekend and holiday hours, a decent percentage in the evenings and a low percentage during mid-week days. Have not given the total percentage a huge amount of thought, but if you factor those three time spans together I would guess it is somewhere between 30-70 percent -just a SWAG. I could probably refine that if I cared to take the time and think more - but bottom line it is a very important part of the business model.

I wish I could post this video here, but it is on FB and I can't figure a way to get a non-FB Link for it. It is a super funny spoof of this fad: https://www.facebook.com/denablizzard/videos/924079277703563/

I would agree the majority don't have their own guns or FID. I see passports used as ID many times. I think your estimate of the profits are probably off by an order of magnitude or more. The rental business has to be a huge portion of the business model for these ranges. Let's do some basic math. Assume the port rental is around $20 for an hour, in actuality it may be more as I think they typically charge more if a second person joins you. Since the cost for the port is basically a sunk cost, that full $20 goes to contribution margin. The gun rental of say $10 is almost pure contribution also, yea there is some wear and tear and cleaning but it is close to a $10 margin. Then you have ammo, which gets used fairly quickly. You don't spend a full hour in a port with one box of ammo, so let's assume there are two boxes of ammo. That is probably at least $10 of profit - probably more. Let's not forget the paper targets that are probably the highest profit margin at any range. So you are perhaps talking about another $5 contribution after costs. So, we are up to $45 to the bottom line for that one non-gun owner. That assumes that they don't take any lessons, buy anything else and just do the minimum. Obviously some buy more ammo, take lessons, buy food etc.. Also with two boxes of ammo I am thinking they spend less than a full hour on the line. So, let's say they can sell three hours over the course of two actual hours. That comes out to over $65 an hour to the bottom line. Compare that to someone that comes with their own gun. That group may pay nothing if they are a member, or $10 at some places or maybe the full $20 if they only come sporadically. So, let's assume the average is $10 an hour, but I think that might be low depending on the range. They probably buy little if any ammo as they source their own cheaper and may bring their own targets or let's say they buy some so add $3. So, the bottom line contribution margin is $13 versus $65 for the non-owner non FID holder. If my math is even remotely close (I have no inside knowledge) that means the range makes roughly five times the amount of money from the non-owner. Heck with that math us gun owners are lucky they even let us come to shoot, they would be far better off only letting non gun owners come if they could attract enough. Just sayin.
