Do they have a non member daily rate there? Like a trial day?

LOL

+1 for the Walter P99 as. My first handgun and I shoot it regularly. The trigger is so sweet and the grip is awesome. You still have plenty of time to get one for yourself.

If you can find one get a Browning Buckmark .22 pistol. I was set on getting a Ruger but once I held the Buckmark I was sold. I liked the little extra weight in the Buckmark and the magazines are super easy to find.

Beautiful. Is that completely stock? Love the trigger.

I know I am living in a fantasy world thinking this but I think it would be a good comprise to get rid of the OGAM law and use NICS checks to allow law abiding citizens buy firearms the day after an approval comes in. If they ever catch up on the NICS checks later this year it my be to our benefit. Maybe a gun every week. Lol

Day 14 today. Only one more week to go. Lol. I can't even remember what I bought.

+1 that. From what I hear they run flawlessly. I would pay a few extra bucks for that if I was shopping for a 1911. I also heard a rumor that Colt was getting back into the revolver business. Making .22 cal, .38 cal .357 cal etc. etc. Any truth to this? I wonder if the quality will still be there if they do. Lots of companies cutting corners to get their guns on the shelves as fast as possible to meet demands.

What, no love for Colt? I think they are real pretty.

Thanks for the explanation. Very informative. Your right that lock seems useless. $600 is my comfort zone. The new ones in the shop seemed pricey but maybe that is the going rate for a new 686. Once my current NICS comes in (day 13 today) I will be searching for my next gun. I have two permits left and one for sure will be used on a revolver.

New to revolvers. Please explain pre lock. Is this a safety? Definitely open to used but have yet to see one in a shop. If I went used I would rather see the gun up close then use Gunbroker.

I know this is a pretty vague question because there are so many different variations of this model and prices have gone up he last few months. For example. I saw a 2 1/2 inch barrel 686 7 round (P series?) for $850 in a local shop. Is that a fair price? I saw a 4 inch barrel 686 sell for $960 in another shop. Does the length of the barrel jack up the prices that much? Anyone know what used model 686's are going for?

I would not risk it. Waits are up to 3 weeks right now. If you get rejected you could be 6 weeks waiting. Just get the permit renewed or buy privately and bypass the NICS madness. Private sales are the only way to use OGAM efficiently.

I asked my dealer the same question and he said no. Must wait 30 days from the day you pick it up. Can submit another NICS on the day 31. If you try to send it earlier, the NICS will get rejected and you have to start all over again. Has happened numerous times at my LGS because some buyers were untruthful when asked about OGAM.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy you Sig .22 from and how much was it? I have yet to see one in a shop.

Should have been more specific in orignial post. Guy unloaded his bag with his guns inside and loaded magazines in the same bag. Was like a bag that opened up flat and had little pockets for handguns and magazines. Like in the shoot em up movies. Every mag was loaded with inches of its handgun. Kind of like a luggage bag for suits that zippered open full of guns. I would guess he was involved in law enforcement. The way I understood the law is that the ammo and gun must be transported in different locations of the vehicle.

I saw a guy at the range unload his bag and he pulled out loaded magazines. I saw him walk in so he either loaded them in the parking lot or at home and drove to the range with loaded mags. Is this legal?

I have heard of Bass Pro but never shopped there. Any good deals there? I would imagine that they are cabelas biggest competitor.

Very nice lever. I almost bought a Henry golden boy .22 the other day but could not think if an excuse to give the wife. I have an Umberti 1866 yellowboy in NICS prison waiting to come home. I have plenty of .17 ammo to feed it if you need. Pm me.

Yea, I know. It would be nice to have a store in NJ to shake up some of the rip off shops gouging residents on guns and ammo. For example $99 for 325 rounds of Federal .22 LR. Come on really?

I was wondering why Cabela's does not have a store in NJ. They do sell other outdoor products other than guns. Their is a ton of outdoor activities and places to go and do them in our state. I know that NJ is one of the least gun friendly state in America and maybe this answers my topic question. Is gun sales and accessories their biggest sales margins and profit? I feel they are losing out on millions of dollars in business not putting a store in NJ.

I be happy with 14 days. I bought two guns last week and was told 17-21 days maybe up to 24 days.

Cost estimate to do all of this?

I rented an XD at shore shot and the grips tore up my hand and I had trouble getting good groups with my aim all over the place. Right after I shot the G19 and it felt much better and my aim was improved as well. But lastly I shot a Sig P 226 and it blew both guns away.

Either they got 1000 boxes of the Winchester and Thunderbolt or their website has a glitch. I can't believe this would be in stock for so long. Usually .22 sells out in minutes.
