  1. I sometimes soak a 12 gauge bore brush in simple green and just scrub all around the muzzle break in and out of the shapes. It mangles the brush over time, but it doesn't matter i just switch to a new one every few times. You can also get cloth barrel bushes. Personally i don't find cleaning the muzzle break to be the hardest part of cleaning my AR-15, i have a harder time in the upper part of the inside of my receiver and with the gas pistol rod assembly.
  2. scohen2002 posted a topic in Handguns
    I am considering getting the .40 cal walther PPQ. Does anyone have any feed back on it? I've watched a bunch of YouTube reviews etc etc and nobody seems to have anything bad to say about it, although everyone seems to have the 9mm version.
  3. Welcome... and I agree, i bought a handgun at Bullseye and like Chris.
  4. The way the ban is written it would not ban smooth bore, so if you have a slug gun then yes, 12ga with rifled barrel would also be banned, but regualar smoth bore shotgun would be fine. There is no plan on grandfathering either so don't rush out to buy one, if the law passes (which god willing it won't) the way it's written you would have some period of time to legally sell your .50 cal, dispose of, or turn it in. I own a .50 cal S&W and this law in particular makes me furious. It's the start of very slippery slope, because what is next? This would be like making Marlboro red's illegal but light's are ok (for now).
  5. Today is 6 weeks in and still nothing...
  6. I tried googling around a bunch for stafford forge and i see a website about it, but it's only about hiking trails and where the place is. Does anyone have detailed information about where/when/how you can shoot there. Like where would i go to shoot, and can i go anytime, and yes, i'll clean up my mannequin afterwards
  7. I dropped by today to ask politley and inquire about the status of my 5 week old application. The lady asked me how long had it been and i said 5 weeks. She said well it's gonna be 8 to 10 in total and you'll get a letter from us so you don't need to come in and check. She looked away and tried to be done with me. So i pushed her a bit and asked if she could check and just make sure if everything was in order and my references had returned everything etc etc. She huffed at me and asked my last name, then picked up a phone and called someone else and asked if everything was in order with my permit application. She hung up the phone and said to me that they were still waiting for background checks and it will be another 2 weeks minimum and we'll send you a letter so you don't need to come in. I said it I had no idea it was gonna be this big an ordeal when i applied for one permit so can i apply for a second right now so i don't have to go through this again? I said i only wanted to do this if it would not delay the first permit. She huffed again and picked up the phone and called back the same person and asked if i could get a second permit. To my shock and surprise she hung up and said yes, so i paid my 2 dollars and now having fun day dreaming about what to buy for number 2. But damnit to hell, why did you get yours in less than 30 days and i'm stuck waiting 6 or 7 weeks at least. Same town right? Same process?
  8. Dicks makes me show my fid card to handle any rifle and even to buy ammo. Other than that I've probably handled 100 hand guns and rifles in 25 stores in nj and never had to show a card or permit.
  9. Hi guys I'm from East Brunswick, originally from PA. I've always owned a hand gun since I bought myself one for my 21st birthday but recently have gotten into trap and rifle also. I've got a 9mm ruger, a springfield 1911, an S&w 500, a 12 gauge, and my true love an LWRC Repr. I shoot trap at mallard but just started doing that this past summer. Ft Dix is my favorite place to shoot because I can bring everything out at once.
  10. I've done this myself without an attorney and won in east brunswick. If you have a clear cut case i would do it yourself, if your case is not clear cut i would talk to an attorney. Here is what makes a case clear cut or not. Your town assigns your house (and it's land) an assessed value for this example let's say its $135,000 The town itself has a ratio which represents how far off from reality their assessments are for this examples let's say the towns ratio is 39% (.39) Your pay taxes on the value calculated by the town's assessment divided by their ratio, in this example $135,000 / .39 which is $346,000 The fair market value is what your house would sell for today, let's say for arguments sake its $275,000 If the taxed value (which you are being taxed on) is off by the fair market value by more than 15% the state law is that the town must re-asses you. If you are within 15% the law does not force them to do anything. So if you house is worth anything less than $294,000 (which is 15% off of $346,00) you have a clear case and could probably appeal and win, if you house was worth anything more than $294,000 you probably won't win If you want to appeal you can get a form from your town, and then file it with your county and a copy to your town. You can fill this out yourself by providing either an official appraisal of your own house or just 3 comparable sales from within the past 6 months. If your case is obvious the town will just offer to settle with you and just adjust your assessment, if they don't agree they will take you to court and it could go either way.
  11. Here is the red dot
  12. I've got a Leupold 4x pistol scope on my S&W 500. It's hard to get used to it, takes a fair amount of practice, but it can be deadly accurate out to 100 yards. If you can rest the gun for stability it would be perfect for hunting. For target shooting i prefer a red dot and i have one so i switch back and forth between the two. When people who aren't used it to try the scope they find it very hard to use, they prefer the red dot.
  13. I know i can call them, i was curious for opinions and discussion anyway... especially if anyone know a range in NJ or PA that would allow anything without question.
  14. I really want to shoot a mannequin, i know i know i'm twisted and slightly devious, but i really want to do it. I recently got two used mannequins for free and i want to shoot at them and Ft Dix seems like the best place since i can get them out there 200 yards. I know i can call the range 14 and ask and i will, but if the answer is no from them, then i am wondering if anyone knows a range that would allow this.
  15. I live in East Brunswick, and I got my purchasers card and first pistol permit in May of 2012. I think that took around 4 weeks, but don't remember exactly. On Jan 13th of 2013 i applied for another single pistol permit and today marks a month, when i dropped it off they told me up to 10 weeks. I called today and they told me probably two more weeks without any specific reason. This wait is especially painful for me because i already paid for the pistol and am just waiting for the permit and it's killing me.
