  1. Me too!!! Especially after the failed recall effort that makes him feel invincible now!!!
  2. Yeah! I wonder why guys are dumping their ARs!!!! Obama has another year to play President. Hillary may get the next four years, Sweeney will likely be our next Governor. Perhaps now is a good time to dump them while you still can! Even if we can keep them in Jersey, do they even make 5 round mags for the AR platform???? Just checked, the do make 5 rounders!!!! CRAP!!!!!!!!!
  3. In the past election they did, but not here!!! I did vote yes 4x though! One vote for each member of my family who believes as I believe or can GTFO!!!
  4. College dorms are where the kids party to the extreme! Alcohol, drugs, college kids experimenting and often visit friends in other dorms for parties, etc... It's not just the 21+ CCW holders that would likely have access to guns improperly stored in the dorm rooms! One stupid incident where an innocent kid gets shot on that campus will bring on a firestorm of anti gun media that WILL hurt our cause!!! Since it was legally purchased and belonged to a CCW holder!!!
  5. The dorms are gun free zones. That makes perfect sense but he should not have let that part make it to the media! BRAVO for his decision though!
  6. How can you legally break the law???
  7. The condition of the rifle and carbine as well as matching serial numbers (not forced) certainly come into play! Since he is a friend, I would say around $200 per would be a fair price. The ammo is around $120 for a corrosive primed spam can of 440 rounds. If the ammo he has is non corrosive, it is obviously worth more. The 1943 stamped M38 was the last year of production, most M38 carbines were fitted into M44 stocks by the Soviets as a wartime expedient. M38s in the correct M38 stock command a premium over M38s in M44 pattern stocks. The M38 was replaced by the M44 carbine in 1944. If neither has a hexagonal receiver or is in less than Very good condition, I think my estimate of their value of around $200 each would be appropriate! The Mosin Nagant is a fine addition to any collection and certainly will not go down in value as time passes. Be sure to check to check the bore for good rifling and no pitting as the corrosive ammo used back in the day would tear them up in no time if not promptly and properly cleaned!

    Sorry!!! Just wanted to see it again! SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!
  9. Please pass on my condolences as well Troy! Distressed individuals think this a good place to end it all. They are sadly mistaken as their selfish act takes a toll not just on their loved ones but also on everyone who witnesses the aftermath and has to clean up! May God bless those who suffer now due to this act and I pray he reaches out to those who may contemplate such suicidal acts in the future and let them decide to seek help and God's love instead!!! Suicide is NEVER the answer to a problem! Perhaps a well thought out sign should be posted at that range and all ranges offering help and dissuading such future behavior! If done right, it would not serve as a reminder of what happened in the past but act as a subtle, thought provoking idea that, "What you do here effects everyone" "please be careful" "Don't be selfish" Think of the others first" kind of reminder! If it saves one life it would be worth it! Sort of a 10 Commandments for the range! Everyone knows what happened so reaching out to prevent it in the future would not only be understood, but much appreciated!!!
  10. Sorry to hear of your loss Ty! Went through it a few years ago myself! Not easy to accept but cherish the memories and know that time heals to some extent! God bless you and yours during this hard time!
  11. +1 How could he ever have expected to go from governing of one of the least 2A friendly states to being the leader of a 2A friendly free America??? He was delusional at best! Had he made radical changes here in his own state and set an example, things may have been different! You can't live in a garbage heap and run for chief cleanliness officer! Furthermore, you can't lead a state where innocent lives like Carol Bowne's don't matter and expect favored son status from the NRA!
  12. Given the terrorist watch list we have, fair or not, if your name is on that list, could you pass a NICs check now?
  13. In support of Dwight, this is 2015! We have more anti 2A zealots than pro 2A ones including 99% of the media! We have to be realistic! If the guy next door to me is a convicted felon or a psycho who is a danger to me and my community, should he be able to go buy a gun, hell no! His name should be AND IS NOW on a list of prohibited persons! It's great to say "The Second Amendment applies to all the people and the government shall not infringe" but do you really want Hannibal Lecter to have those rights blindly handed to him if he lived in your neighborhood??? We are already on more government lists than we dare to dream exist! In these times of terrorists and wacko's do you really expect the government to admit they were wrong, destroy their lists and give us all our 2A rights as though it were 1776 again! It is not going to happen!!! There is always some compromise whether we like it or not! The problem is; 1) Who decides the guidelines for the list Dwight speaks of? 2) Will Patriotism become a crime and get your name on the list? 3) If you protested in front of Sweeney's house, is your name now on the list? 4) Will practicing your 1st Amendment rights get you on the list? If I thought the government was capable of being fair, even handed and trustworthy, I would not have a problem with the list idea! Unfortunately, given the reality of today, we must choose the lesser of two evils. We can all pound our chests and cry out "ALL OR NOTHING!" but we must realize it will never happen! No matter what happens, the lists are there and it you bought a gun in NJ you are most likely on the list. If you belong to the NRA or NJ2AS or any other pro-2A group, or post your feelings on this forum, you are probably on some kind of list as a subversive! Big brother is here to stay as are ALL of the lists!!! Nothing we do will change that! If you seriously think you can change that fact, you will be on yet another list! I do NOT support yet another list but the fact is they are already here, we are already on them and I want the right to carry in NJ and I want national reciprocity! We are all Americans and as "Law Abiding Americans" we should have the right to defend ourselves and our families EVERYWHERE!!! There is already a terrorist watch list! You can be against it all you want but do you really think it will just go away! I agree with an instant background check for gun purchases but Not for ammo purchases!
  14. You asked the question , "is it ok"! There are really two answers to your question that I will here forth declare as my own opinion! When you ask any question on this forum, your answer will be based on the letter of of the law or the interpretation of the law as to the best of the respondent's knowledge. The law does not provide for co-ownership of guns in the PRNJ or for that matter, most anywhere! The value of said guns may be marital property in a divorce settlement but that's about it! If you both go together to the range that is one thing but by statute, you may NOT lend a gun purchased by you to your wife or visa versa! Could you get in trouble, absolutely YES! This is NJ!!! If I were in your shoes, I MIGHT take my wife's gun to the range but that's me! Since my wife HATES guns and probably ME as well for spending money on the hobby, she will never OWN A GUN until I am DEAD! My opinion therefore is purely speculative! Have I ever been pulled over by a LEO while en route to the range or back home, NO! If I were to be pulled over, would I volunteer ANY info? NO! If my vehicle was searched and the guns and ammo were found being properly transported with no deviations, (in the case that I was carrying handguns or hollow point ammo) and had in my possession a valid FPID card, would the LEO run every serial number of every gun to determine ownership? Most likely not!!! How long would such a search take??? Taking your wife's gun to the range is a risk, just as is crossing the street! You could get hit buy a bus!! Just use common sense staying just short of paranoia! Those of you who wish to attack me, do so only if you have not sinned in the past! I find common sense to be my best guide! A sweet spot between, not perfect and not paranoid either!
  15. Federal 525. I stopped at the Deptford store on Saturday morning and were out of that already! They did have CCI .22 standard velocity round nose for $28 per 300. They also had 100 pack Winchester HPs for $10 I prefer the Choot-Em CCI mini Mags myself. Dicks did not have any of those.
  16. I found yet another letter on my desk today from the NRA. It has a postage free return envelope so I wrote them a note and stapled a copy of that ad to their letter and will mail it back to them on their dime! I realize things here would would be an awful lot worse without the NRA! If they are going to use us as their poster child of how bad it can get to scare others into donating or joining, I would just like to see more ACTIVE help from them here in NJ!!! Throw some ads on television, not just Fox News, telling the Fudds that they too need to stand up and fight for our 2A rights or they too will suffer some day!
  17. Every upper I have seen has an A2 or some type of suppressor or brake or a combination of the two it seems. Muzzle brakes are great unless you happen to be standing next to the person firing. Most of the more effective brakes deflect most of the otherwise straight forward blast to the sides. It can get annoying at the range when you are the guy next to the shooter and it sounds like he's shooting a .50 cal!
  18. Not bad with the free shipping! Golden tiger is $32 more per 1K including shipping from Sgammo! Worth it to me for the sealed primer and bullet as well as the great reputation!
  19. I'm gonna guess because it makes life easier here in the PRNJ! Since a threaded barrel is illegal here you must remove the A2 birdcage and pin and weld either a thread protector or muzzle brake to stay in compliance! It's an added expense but it seems impossible to find an upper or a barrel without threads.
  20. Most common usage is F#CK MY LIFE!

    I have the Sig P220 in .45 cal. with a built in Lasermax and a Sig P229 SS Elite in .40 cal. I love both of them! Being a Carpenter, you know the importance of having a hammer and I understand your desire for your gun to have one as well! I am not a carpenter but I too like the look and feel of a hammer. I like the ability to know right away if the gun is cocked or not. I feel safer with the longer and harder trigger pull on the first round in double action. I also have the Beretta PX4 Storm compact in 9mm. It also has a hammer! Perhaps I spent too much time with revolvers when I started shooting! I just don't feel as safe and sure of myself with a striker fired pistol! I own a couple striker fired semis but I just prefer the DA/SA much more!
  22. So they kinda need us around the way we are so they can use us as the example of what could happen to them if they don't give generously to the NRA!!! Bastards!!!!
  23. You mean the flags and stuff before you get to the locked gate was $26K??? I don't get down there as much as I would like to since most of my friends and family don't like guns very much!!! I understand my wife not liking them due to the amount of money I spend I spend on the hobby! She says "you can only shoot one gun at a time, so why do you need more than one???" I gave up trying to convince her, so now I just sneak any new guns into the house after she falls asleep!!!
  24. You, like most on this sight enjoy a good blue job!!! The older S&W model 19 had the best blue job. A very deep blue, almost black mirror finish. A GILF if there ever was one! The Beretta PX4 compact is also a great choice!!! I have one in 9mm. Great feel. Great gun! 15 rounds of pure fun!
  25. H.E., Are you saying that ISIS would warn drug dealers of an attack of this magnitude ahead of time thus risking their entire operation???
