I'll vent about running out of luck at Cabelas. I'm headed to Boston, realized the east Hartford Cabelas was almost on the way, and diverted. More ammo than I've seen in a decade, pretty good prices. I was set to leave with 1000 trap loads (cheaper than I can load them for) plus assorted .223 and the CCI std vel .22lr I can never find. No limit! Then I found out about the #*%!! 2013 CT law that restricts ammo purchases to CT residents with a permit. I almost cried. I'm still pissed off.

This wasn't at Poconos Mountain Airport (KMPO), which is still an active airport, and not particularly close to where he was captured. He was captured at Birchwood Pocono Airport, which closed in 1995. http://www.airfields-freeman.com/PA/Airfields_PA_NE.htm#birchwood

It would be the height of rudeness to go to Craigslist without offering it for sale here first! :-). I'm always looking for powder. Feel free to PM what you've got.

It's a simple fix. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/krylon-banner-red-indoor/outdoor-spray-paint-185744/

That's a very interesting list-thanks for compiling it. Unfortunately, if NJ decides they want to emulate how it's done elsewhere, I think the option they would pick is "However it's done in North Korea"

Son of a gun...it's there all right. No limit on purchase that I can see (I was able to add 25 lbs to my cart). Good to see it's out there, but it's pretty expensive so I didn't follow through on the buy. Interestingly, it didn't turn up on gunbot.net, even though Bass Pro is one of the sources they reportedly monitor.

New to the forums?

I've not seen Bullseye for sale anywhere in well over a year...in case you have a source you'd like to share!

I know they took the summer off from hosting the Sunday evening matches, but resumed Oct 5 with a Bianchi cup match. I didn't get an email about a match last Sunday, but just received one about a knock down steel match this Sunday. Starting an hour earlier than last year--arrive at 4:30, shoot starts at 5. Pistol/Revolver, pistol-caliber carbine, and shotgun with birdshot all allowed, many shooters shoot two divisions. Newbie-friendly, $10 to shoot, no prizes, but a good time for all.

I think "You cant miss fast enough to win" is the quote you were looking for.

I rarely see much difference between prices on the major sites, but just recently I did find a much better price on Orbitz than I did on Travelocity or Expedia. If flexibility allows, you'll usually do much better checking alternate dates and alternate airports rather than just checking alternate sites for the same flights. Some sites make this easier than others...I think Kayak is good for finding nearby alternate airports with less expensive flights, Travelocity for showing a grid of prices for the same flights on dates adjacent to the ones you selected.

Some fine choices there. Even if Octoberfest ended on Oct 5 this year.

The last house I had with an outside keypad to open the garage door also still had the factory sticker on the back of the keypad, with the combination printed on it. If you have a keypad you didn't install yourself, it's worth unscrewing it from the wall to check for that...

Lots of good advice here. John Boy, that's a beautiful SKB, but I think I think I'm going to need an adjustable comb, and probably longer barrels. I'll probably end up with something from the Browning Citori family. I'm a fan of SKB, though. I've seen some promising guns at Meltzer's, Davis, Ottomanellis, and Griffin and Howe...and Lou's does have Guerini's in stock, but a new one is outside my target price range. All of those shops have been great to deal with. Simon Peter's phone seems to be disconnected--not sure what to make of that. As noted above, Griffin and Howe really is worth a visit. They have some used or lower-end new stuff for sale, but admiring the eye candy is what really make is worth the trip. The staff is friendly, and I got to handle some beautiful guns up to an $80,000 H&H double that was on the rack. Everything over $100K was behind glass and you had to ask to bring those out... I think the priciest gun I saw was a 4-barrel Perazzi set for $299,000. Of course, none of those guns are likely ever to be fired again, nor for the most part, would they be competitive with more modern designs--but they sure are pretty.

I thought the whole point was to use this to wean yourself off of tobacco, so that you'd have more money to spend on ammo?

No, it's not even the best for that.

That's how I've done it in the past. When you step out of the tub, it might (if the floor sagged a small amount) put a little compression on the caulk. Then when it's dry, drain it and it will compress a little more. It's subtle--I've never seen it deform the caulk bead.

Silicone, and to really do it right, fill the tub with water and stand in it while applying. That's enough weight for the tub, on most floors, to sag a tiny bit. Caulk when it's down, then drain, and the caulk line is in compression, and much less likely to pull away from the tub or tile.

I'm looking for a new trap gun, and would like to handle a few O/Us to see what fits me best. What shops in north or north-central NJ are most likely to have something in stock? New or used, budget up to a few thou. Griffin & Howe is on the list, but if anyone knows of other shops that might have more than one model in stock, I'd like to hear about it. I'm looking for a dedicated trap model, and the shelves aren't exactly overflowing with them. The Browning Citori XT Trap is on my short list, if anyone here has one they are looking to sell... Thanks.

I'm still planning to get to one of these...but I can't get to this one.

Yep, that's almost as bad as getting stuck shooting at 25 feet all the time because whoever got there first can't hit anything from the back line. :-)

Now the OP is all set. He can broker the transaction, sell three lots of 1000, and not be left with a single cartridge to show for it! :-)

Age 7, single shot .22 rifle, on the family farm out west. My dad, and my son, also started at age 7, all with the same rifle. I hope to keep that tradition going. I hit the tin can with my first shot; I proudly brought the can and the empty casing to school for show and tell the next morning. I hate to think what kind of overreaction that would prompt today, were it done in NJ.

Close it again when you are done. I'm not being snide, that's about all it takes. Room temperature is fine, basement temperature probably better, reasonably dry environment is good...but I've never worried much about the storage conditions. I just close the can and put it back on the shelf.

You're doing the right thing, paying out of pocket to fix scratches the truck had when you bought it. I applaud your honesty. I would have thought you'd have an easier time finding a shop to discount if they know you are paying out of pocket. Usually, the first thing they ask is whether or not it's an insurance claim, and it's not uncommon to get a significantly lower quote if they know it isn't.
