Any fans of the Sig 2022 9mm
SP 2022 is the first handgun I ever purchased. It's my primary HD weapon and I shoot it extremely well. You can't go wrong getting one. The only caveat is the mags are pricey.

Remington model 11 question
Thanks for your responses. I did dissemble and clean the gun before taking it out. It has very little wear and was a safe queen for a majority of its 70 plus years. Can't wait to take it back out and bust some clays

Remington model 11 question
I picked one of the old "humpback" model 11 Remington based on Browning design and shot it for the first time today. The shells don't lock into the magazine tube like my other tube fed shotguns. They stick out of the mag tube about as far as the brass on a target shell. With a single round in when I close the bolt the gun goes into battery and the round fires and ejects as it's supposed to. I put 2 rounds in but didn't want to fire it because the way the shell in the tube was sitting just didn't look right to me. I cycled the bolt manually and shells were ejected and fed into battery from the tube. Is this normal for this type of shotgun or is there a problem with the magazine tube?

Dunkelberger's shipping fee is a bit exorbitant.
Stopped in the Stroudsberg store today just for the the heck of it. The had a very nice used Ruger single Six for $290. They wanted $50 to ship to an out of state FFL. That plus the transfer fee turned a good deal into a meh deal. I ship a lot and FFL to FFL can use USPS Priority mail flat rate box for less than $20. They could also use parcel select for less than that. I thought it was kind of crappy to try and make a killing on shipping charges.

NJ Gun CZAR Appointed
NY unSAFE act runs counter to your argument and has been upheld in court. I don't agree with it just stating the fact.

Your Favorite Beer, Ale and Hamburgers
Great choice on the beers but I prefer to order fine american Belgian style brew like Golden Monkey from Victory or almost anything from Ommegang. The burger sounds tasty but it's well beyond my means.

I would like to read Ms. Parks article however because Gannet is a scum sucking organization I refuse to click a link to one of their so called news papers. If some one could do a cut and paste to a PM thanks.

NJ Senate LIve on Gun Bills
This poses a problem for me. I keep a NY legal lower at my NY residence and bring my upper back and forth between residences. Would it now be illegal for me to transport my legally owned property between my 2 residences?

School me on Nashville
Great small city lots of bars and restaurants. Great music everywhere. Parking is incredibly expensive so find a place close to the downtown that you can walk. I'm not a big country music fan but enjoyed the HOF. Definitely do the Ryman Auditorium tour. Take a ride on the Natchez Trace Parkway lots of historical stops. Johnny Cash museum looked small and expensive so we skipped it. Some of his stuff in the Ryman. That's where his TV show was done. If you only have 4-5 days I would fly and rent a car otherwise you lose 2 days traveling but there are plenty of stops on the way down. I can't wait to go back as we only spent 2 days there and it wasn't enough.

Odd German Rifle
I chose not to take it and someone else is taking it. I'm not knowledgeable enough about milsurp rifles. I did pick up a sweet Remington Model 11 20 gauge though.

Odd German Rifle
I had an opportunity to purchase a WW2 era German rifle but decided against the purchase. I believe it was a Mauser but the stock was all wrong. It had Nazi marks on the reciever but the owner insisted it was chambered in 30-06. Claimed his father brought it home from the war. Anyone ever hear of such a thing and did I pass on a good deal at $250?

Power Outage Map
I completely understand your frustration with JCP&L. They are terrible with their repair estimates. This may go back to Sandy when they told me every day 24 hours and it stretched out to 2 weeks. Now they just put up assessing damage or give you a time and then change it as that time approaches. We had power go out at the DPW yard around 5 PM Friday. Crews showed within the hour and had power restored by 8 PM. This may be due to the fact that the water supply pumps for a majority of the town are located there. JCP&L takes better care of the commercial level customers than they do their residential customers. When I was working for North Jersey Media/Gannett during Sandy NJM/Gannett lost power for 2 days. White Meadow Lake neighborhood in Rockaway which can be seen from the NJM/Gannett parking lot was out for 21 days. We had 2 crews out to clear trees from the roads. They were allowed to assess the situation on site and if they knew the wires were just cable or phone they cleared the road. Going to be picking up a lot of wood tomorrow.

The problem is the DPW workers can't clear the down trees if there are wires down with them. SOP is wait for JCP&L to say it's clear then the tree guys can do their thing. This sucks for the people stuck in their houses but it's a safety issue. After Sandy I had wires down all over my cars and I knew they were power lines. I used a voltage tester to make sure they were dead and cut them off so I could get out.

Power came back on at 5:30. Good luck to everyone who's still out.

Looks like Just Can't Provide Lights can't even provide a restoration estimate.
