I think you've gotta lay-off the anchovy pizza that close to bed time!

I have one of the norinco SKS that came here in the late '80's "push". At the time they were dirt cheap, both to buy and to feed 7.62x39 rounds. Its a fun gun; simple, sturdy, and reasonably accurate. And....theyr'e still reasonably cheap to feed; even though their prices have gone up substantially. I've never hunted with it, though I am told its still a popular pickup truck gun out west. Here it doesn't matter; you can't use it for hunting in NJ or PA, but its a fun paper puncher. .

Actually, I am starting to think this guy's strategy is correct. Washington DC does NOT want to take this to court; if it ever makes it, I can see the whole statute being tossed as unconstitutional. That's the LAST thing they want....I forsee the DA, after a little bit of grand-standing, dropping this case like a hot potato...

I'm no lawyer, but I wonder if he could claim selective prosecution?

Good point - I fell in lust a few months ago with a pair of Vaqueros put out as a limited edition by the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) - they were made of highly polished stainless steel, sitting in the case at Tip's Hardware.

Check out the 'used' racks - If I were going shopping today for a 'first' or 'only' revolver, I would be looking for a .357 S&W - a Model 19 or 27 (depending upon whether I wanted a K or N frame-the 27-N-is slightly bigger), I would be looking for a pin in the frame that secured the barrel, and a recessed bore in the cylinder ("recessed" means a relief-cut for the cartridge rim). I would also be looking for a nickel finish, but that's just my vanity.

My wife and I are waiting for Grimm to start-up again. Season 3 starts on Friday...

It's not a disease--its not a sickness...I don't need no stinkin' 12-step program! I tried to like autoloaders. I really did. I have a .45 and a .22 (a springfield 1911 and a S&W Model 41) that I picked-up and shot 3-gun bullseye with. And they are fine, accurate shooters. But there's just something about revolvers...their simplicity, their inherent accuracy. The precision of their single-action trigger - the challenge of the double action...they're marvels of the early industrial age. They intrigue me...they challenge me. So much more than the typical pistol. That, and I dont have to chase their empties all over creation after I've shot 'em!

I just did the membership thing...they had a real good deal on 7.62x54r ammo...then I found out they won't send black power bullets to NJ - forget THAT

Went there today (Sunday), and I will echo the statement that many have already made....the place is huge!!! The firearms area (where I spent most of my time) seemed very busy. Not what I would call a "crowd-scene", but there was a steady flow of people going thru the place. They seem to still be setting-up areas and stocking the shelves. For example, there were two employees slowly emptying large plastic tubs filled with merchandise onto the shelves. Also, an elk mount was sitting on the floor waiting to be hung-up wherever its supposed to go), Even though it was busy, all of the employees I talked to and observed were VERY helpful, relaxed, and did not appear to be rushing anyone through the place. Their firearms inventory seems good. Lots of shotguns and pistols; quite a bit of muzzleloaders and accessories, and a little less for rifles and revolvers. There was a reasonably big section of just AR style rifles, and they were also selling lower receivers. The range looked interesting. They have separate shooting stations divided by diamondplate walls. I only peered-in to the area (they have a window to observe what's going on), but I saw they were running new shooters thru a video to explain what/how things worked at their range. Because this range is a bit of a drive, I did not look further, While there, I bought a case of 12 gauge trap loads, a few boxes of #4 game loads, and some hornady .54 cal conicals. For today's market, they appeared to have ammunition stock (but with room for MUCH more, once things settle down). I asked about reloading supplies - they do not carry gunpowder or true blackpowder (but they do have pyrodex and 777). They did have primers, but no bullets. The salesman lamented that NJ requires too many different permits to make selling more powder viable, and that there was so little margin in the reloading supplies they could not make a reasonable profit without appearing to gouge their customer base. Anyhow, I've rambled-on enough. Shooters is a fine place, and I'll be back. I just hope they are able to move enough product to support that HUGE building,

See the below thread, from back in January of this year... http://njgunforums.com/forum/index.php/topic/44279-sks-tapco-magazine-question/

They're great shooters, Shawn, you'll have fun with it. I don't think I have ever seen a 15 round fixed magazine for an SKS. They made 20 rounders, and I have seen 5-rounders, but its been a long time...the 5 rounders make the magazine well almost flush with the bottom of the stock...I shoulda bought one of those back when they were plentiful. Sadly, the detachable magazine model is on the 'verboten' list in the slightly communist state of NJ....

A few months ago I was watching a young kid shoot trap with one - i think it was a Rossi. What i thought was pretty cool was watching the ejector kick the shells out of the barrel - yes the little thing had an ejector! Every time he opened the action it threw the empties about 3 feet straight over his head. Seemed to be a nice gun, for not a lot of money

Same here. NJ2AS has done amazing things in its few years of existance. The NRA should be ashamed.

I remember one instance back in the late 80's/early 90's...I had applied for one PTP, but when I arrived to pick it up, there were two waiting for me. When I asked why they did a second, they told me "because you'll probably be back here looking for another one soon...".

Probably Great Adventure escapees......

Some people have such vivid imaginations, its scary....

My wife is complaining about skunks in the barn...

I love it!

Between you, who's laid up, and the government types (like me) that are laid off, what we REALLY need is to take a day during the week and do something like this: http://www.bestpheasantry.com/index.html during the week, 4 hours, 3 hunters, $250.00

Hmmm...and I thought, with the bamboo photo, we were talking about the panda joke. Don't know the panda joke? A panda bear walks into a bar and orders a sandwich. The waiter brings him the sandwich. The panda bear eats it, pulls out a pistol, kills the waiter, and gets up and starts to walk out. The bartender yells for him to stop. The panda bear asks, “What do you want?” The bartender replies, “First you come in here, order food, kill my waiter, then try to go without paying for your food.” The panda bear turns around and says, “Hey! I’m a Panda. Look it up!” The bartender goes into the back room and looks up panda bear in the encyclopedia, which read: “Panda: a bear-like marsupial originating in Asian regions. Known largely for it’s stark black and white coloring. Eats shoots and leaves.”

The plot thickens,,,,the Obama Administration DECIDED to block the memorials. the National Park Service reports "The Park Police, nominally in charge of monitoring these spaces, isn't even effected by the shutdown." http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/10/02/Obama-Administration-Decided-to-Block-Access-to-Memorials And it gets better.... The National Park Service has ordered the closure of a Virginia park that sits on federal land, even though the government provides no resources for its maintenance or operation. http://freebeacon.com/shutdown-theater/ This is just like the sequestration nonsense....where the Obama Administration sent out directives to make it as painful as possible....
