Thinking about going too...havent been since the NRA took over the show

Indefinite maybe. This is a farm, not a residential house. The value is in the ground, not the house.

It isnt the most efficient, but it runs fine and in this little house (1000 sq ft) I dont burn a whole lotta oil anyway. I did consider changing to gas a few years ago, but the gas company seriously pissed me off, so I did not do the change-over. Now thinking of moving, so I doubt I will change it over

The oil burner in this little house is much older than that...

yep....might be a belt, might be the motor seized. Changing the belt would obviously be the easier fix, but replacing the motor isn't too much more difficult

Might just be a belt....many of the fans; particularly the old furnaces, are belt driven. Did it smell electricy or rubbery?

yeah - and I pulled my comment simply because I didn't want to jack them up or drag everyone here thru his muck.

Edit - delete

Did you also give him a rag to clean the egg from his face?

OF COURSE! Gotta be a side by side, too. Tradition

And then one for bad weather, one for show.....and a couple just because you like it

That's why they are like potato chips.....you cant have just one!

This is his business.......he is holding himself out as being knowledgeable in the field. Adjustable stocks on a pump shotgun isn't a fine technical point...this is like going to a gas station and the attendant fills your run-of-the-mill Chevy with diesel...

Just missed a nice deal on a Browning...their sale ended on Dec 31 Wait just a little bit......I suspect the 'after hunting season' sales to start soon

x2 this guy doesn't know the law at all. Treat it as a learning experience - you'll run into many so-called "experts" who have no clue... on the bright side, this problem is easily fixed. mossberg 500 parts are everywhere! see: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1311.R3.TR11.TRC1.A0.H0.Xmossberg+500+.TRS0&_nkw=mossberg+500+stock&_sacat=0

Shooting in the snow can be fun!

Appears this is a common problem........ https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/product/winchester-ts-9-efl-10-gun-safe?cm_vc=-10005

Again....welcome to the real world. You just proved the point "you get what you pay for". And when did you last volunteer to do 6-digits worth of work for free?

Because this is the real world, and why no one in their right mind wants to be a "test case". Chasing justice thru the state and federal judicial systems is slow, expensive, and best avoided. Going to court - any court - is a hugely expensive and risky undertaking, as no one can guarantee the outcome. "Cutting a deal" is almost always preferable than the crap shoot of a judge and jury. And as for Nappen - he has successfully made a name for himself in the arena of NJ firearms law; he has made it his business, his livelihood, and his bread and butter. You don't work for free.........why should he?

A nice one is up for sale on gunbroker - down in manahawken: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/730444639

I think he was referring to very close range - 5-10 feet.

I have owned/shot several versions of both the Remington and Mossberg; and in fact still own one of each. Both have many, many years of proven reliability behind them....the basic designs are sound and durable. The Mossberg has lighter weight (due to its aluminum receiver) and a better safety location (for a southpaw like me) in its favor. Otherwise, it has a bit of a clunky/boxy 'feel' to it (for me), and they tend to rattle a bit as you carry them thru the woods. I have also heard (but not experienced) of problems with the plastic safety button breaking...mine have all been older models that had a metal button, so I cannot provide first-hand comments. The Remington, with its steel receiver, is about a half-pound heavier (which IS a factor after a long day in the woods...), and has its safety behind the trigger, rather than on the back of the receiver (a personal preference). Except for that; they feel tighter/handle better (to me) than the Mossberg...and they don't rattle. Functionally, I prefer a Remington over a Mossberg....however....in the last few years, Remington's manufacturing has been abysmal. Shoddy manufacturing techniques have resulted in shipment/delivery of many brand-new Remingtons (all of their products, not just the 870) that require a gunsmith's attention right out of the box! Because of this; I am hesitant to suggest any "new" Remington product to anyone. What I would suggest..........take a look at the Browning BPS. They are a bit more expensive, but (IMHO) the quality and handling is head and shoulders above the Remington or Mossberg.
