Okay so can some PM me the name of an FFL that will transfer the waffen werks?

Since I cant get the Waffen Werks ak74 I was after due to NJ's insane laws.. I am now looking at a Egyptian Maadi AK47. Anyone have or touch on of these? How's the build quality/finish? How's it shoot? I've been told they aren't stamped AK-47. http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/component/virtuemart/shipping-rifles/egyptian-maadi-ak-47-fixed-stock-rifle-with-arabic-sandscript-markings-detail.html?Itemid=0 Is there a way to add a side scope mount after the fact? The Maadi doesn't seem to have one. Thanks, Mike

I get the different systems out there.. I've done a lot of research and I am definitely going Dillon progressive. Just a matter of figuring out which model. Thank You for the advice So what are the best places to find the components on the net? What websites do you guys watch?

I am just getting started with reloading.. I know all the raw materials are pretty scarce these days. Bullets, powder, primers, and brass (new and OF) I plan on reloading 30-30, 45, 9mm, 308, and possibly 40 for a friend eventually. 308 and 45 to get started. I am planning a Dillon machine. Haven't figured out which model yet. What are some good online sources to watch for all the components? I've heard about midway usa and powder valley. What other websites should I be keeping an eye on? Who is the best distributor to buy a Dillon from?

Cheyenne mtn had large pistol primers and small rifle primers today. No small pistol or large rifle.

A waffen werks one? Or AK's in general?

So this all boils down to two letter and 2 numbers stamped on a piece of metal? NJ is insane. I emailed Waffen works to see if they would do a run without that stamp or a different model number.. like WW-74 Hopefully they see the value in adding NJ residents as customers. The saiga conversion looks like a PIA.

What do you guys think about the Waffen works AK74? I'm thinking about picking one up as my first AK variant. Anyone have one? Do you like the fit/finish? quality? Any suggestions for a way to add a rail to the top of the receiver for a scope/aimpoint? Looking at this deal... http://www.classicfirearms.com/ak74riflewusparts-549 Thanks, Mike

You can have a loaded magazine sitting on the floor of the trunk next to your unloaded gun... as long as everything is locked in the trunk... you Dont need any other containers or locks. (Unless you dont have a trunk). I had some guy a month ago feel it was his civic duty to advise me that I must be law enforcement to walk into a range with a bag that had a loaded magazine and an unloaded handgun in a case in the bag. It seems to be a common misconception.

Sweet.. I reached out to that youtube guy. He's going to give it a good once over and replace any faulty parts & get it ready to shoot. Thanks All

P220 45 asp was my first handgun.. love it. Super smooth, very accurate. lowish recoil due to the weight. I got the elite stainless. Be happy to let you shoot if you come down to the Howell, nj area.

Wish I knew someone like that. Would it be safe to twist the bullet out of a cartridge and empty out the powder? I'd use a vise.

I am looking for a gunsmith to give a general once over and determine if this gun is safe to fire. I got it from my dad who got if from his dad, who bought it in 1926. My father thinks the firing pin is bad, but it hasnt been shot in 50+ years so he really cant confirm it. I gave it a really good cleaning but I know nothing about the internals of this gun. I am looking for someone who has experience with old winchester guns and can find replacement parts if needed. Ideally in Central NJ. Any suggestions on who to go to? Here are some pictures for the curious:) http://s1286.photobu...0?sort=3&page=1 Thanks, Mike

I asked some advice on the winchester collector forum Hare trigger mentioned.(Thanks). I got it all cleaned up really nice. No more rust, wood was cleaned and waxed, barrel and everything metal was cleaned and oiled. Used 0000 wool with oil on the barrel. Took the rust right off without destroying the blueing. Now I'll take this over to the gunsmith subforum to find someone who can work on it for me. Thanks Everyone! http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/malice959/library/1926%20Winchester%201894%2030-30?sort=3&page=1

so here are the pictures.. you can feel the rust with you finger when running it over the barrel. Its surface rust but I am not sure if their is blueing left underneath. So what do you guys recommend? Here are a bunch of pics.... http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/malice959/library/1926%20Winchester%201894%2030-30

Its in okay shape. There is rust pitting on the barrel and butt metal piece, Couple small bits of wood chips missing from the stock. Nothing crazy. I don't think the rust is going anywhere. Its been below my dads basement steps for the past 42 years that I know about in a fabric case. Definitely needs to be cleaned and lubed. Should I get someone to get rid of the rust? I plan on shooting this and passing it on to my son some day. I don't plan on selling it. I consider it an heirloom.. so sanding the barrel to get rid of the rust and rebluing wouldn't destroy it in my opinion.. more protect it for future generations. I'd probably keep the rest as original as possible.

Thanks for the tips how to date it. Looks like its a Winchester model 1894 made in 1926 according to the serial number. So its 87 years old. My grandfather must have bought this well before my dad was born. Pretty cool. So any recommendations on who I can trust to restore this?

Well that didn't go well... yeager.. what a loon. The dentist represented us well. Thank God I don't have one of those evil AR-15's:P I feel much better about my AR-10 now:)

My dad gave my his father's 30-30 Winchester lever action rifle. He doesn't recall firing it since he was a kid. Figures it must be roughly 70 years old. His father used to use it for deer hunting. He thinks the firing pin is bad and it wont fire. I'd like to find someone who could test/repair/restore it. Any suggestions on who to reach out to? Ideally I'd like someone in Central NJ who can handle an heirloom. I don't think it has a serial number on it so I don't know how to register it in NJ. He just gave it to me. Is it necessary to register it if I have a valid FID?

why do I have the feeling this wont be a balanced program.

I am getting a Sig 716 (.308) rifle.. 5/8 24 tpi barrel. I'm asking the FFL to remove the stock break and install a replacement. Ideally I want something to reduce felt recoil as much as possible. I've been looking at a bunch of them but its tough to come up with a winner.. PWS (FSC30) seems to make good ones based on reviews. I was also looking at the JP Tactical Compensator Black .308 cal Bull Barrel one. What do you guys think? Looking for your experience as this is a one time purchase. I cant replace it once welded.

I've been drooling over a scar 17s but the price has been holding me back. Found the Sig 716 online. Been reading a lot about it. Seems like a good 308 rifle from what I read. Anyone have one? Can you share your thoughts? Anyone know of a place I could rent one?

So I've been able to buy 2 popular handguns and a popular shotgun.. no problem. I've stockpiled enough ammo to last a few months. But I cant for the life of me find magazines for my handguns (Sig 226 9mm and Sig 220 45). I'm looking for 15 and 10 round magazines respectively. Is magazine demand far out weighing ammo and gun demand? My sig 220 only came with 1x 10 rd magazine from the factory with a card to get another free when they become available. How tough is it to make magazines?

The magpul stuff looks nice.. Thanks for the tip. Really the barrel length makes that much difference for skeet? I look forward to giving it a shot.

Just picked up Mossberg 590A1.. 20" model with the standard stock and ghostring sights (51663). Looking for a decent 2pt sling & sling attachment points. Nothing crazy.. figured a sling would make lugging it around easier. Going to use it mainly for skeet and fun target shooting. Recoil pad might be nice. Flashlight mount couldn't hurt but I don't know how much use it would get unless there is some sorta SHTF situation. What do you guys recommend?
