Is this still their policy? I have seen many people walk in and not buy ammo to shoot. Is this for non members only? I was going to shoot there this weekend and bring my on gun and ammo.

Do we have any info on the victim? Name, where he/she is from and their age?

Cool, thanks for the info. Yes I am just looking to plink and shoot paper. I will have to check this out. Do you know what the model name or number the above Ruger rifles are? In a month or two I want to get a .38 or .357 revolver. I take it you can use .38/.357 pistol ammo in the Ruger rifle as well?

The price and recoil was the main reason for .223 interest. I wanted something more powerful than a .22 but not too much like a 243 or 308 that would probably bounce me around and not be as enjoyable to shoot. I also figured I could learn the basics of rifle shooting with the smaller caliber rifle and work on my aim.

Local shop by me has a used Winchester 30-30 for sale. I think it is $600. I don't remember what model it is but I think they have it listed on gunbroker. Shop is called PK Firearms in Manahawkin. Their website has their gunbroker listings. Take a look.

What about .223 ammo. Is it as scarce as .22 lr or can it be found? I have not looked for it in local shops but I have been looking online for ammo and it seems that it is nowhere to be found just like .22 lr ammo.

I was thinking about getting a .223 rifle, my first rifle, to do some range target shooting this summer. Either bolt action or automatic but I am leaning more towards bolt. I would like to start off with under 50 yards target shooting and would like to stick to sights and not use a scope, at least for a while. Now my question is with the current ammo shortage should I even bother to start target shooting with this type of caliber? From what I have seen online that this ammo is very hard to come by but I have not checked in my local shops yet. Is .223 really hard to find locally and will it get easier to find by this summer? A few of the .223 rifles I have been looking at but have not seen in person were Savage Axis and Ruger mini 14. What other models should I look for to start off with for my needs.

Ever try Winchester .22 ammo? I was thinking of trying to get some online. The prices I have seen are comparable to Remington.

I have never seen a 226 in .22 in any store the past five months. Tons of Sig mosquitos and 1911 in the shops. Ask your local shop if they can locate a 226 for you.

Price?? Trade for a box of .45 ?

Is that what you decided on? The Sig 226?

Wow very young man. Was his death sudden or was he battling an illness?

Just wanted to thank you guys for mentioning the Browning Buckmark .22 pistol. I never heard of this gun so I did a little research and thought it could be what I'm looking for. I went to my local shop today asking if they had one to check out and they said they haven't had a new one in months but had a mint used one on the shelf that just came in. Once I held it it I was sold. Felt very solid and seemed extremely well built and fit and finish was superb. I compared it to a Ruger 22/45 they had but the Buckmark just felt so much better in my hand. I also liked the heavier weight of the Buckmark. Another shop was selling a used Colt Woodsman I was thinking about getting but that was about $200 more and the condition was much more used so I figure this would be a great starter .22 for now. I put a deposit on the Buckmark and will put in the NICS in about 3 weeks because I just bought a gun last weekend. Now I will be scouring the earth for .22 ammo and stock up so I can feed her next month.

I went to BA to see their inventory a couple of times and noticed only a few shooters on the range. The RO was back and forth from the shop to the range numerous times. I don't think he was supervising anything. I shot a few times at Shore Shot and yes the place is beat up and rundown but the RO's are always on the range and paying attention. While I was in the shop looking at guns one day I overheard an RO reprimand a shooter for not having his weapon pointed down range while reloading and then moments later he yelled at another shooter for muzzle flashing the booth next to him. Seems strict to some but with firearms and new shooters you have to be to keep everyone safe.

Slightly off topic. What would happen if you left your house and went to the range and then on the way home you stopped to pick up a few things at the grocery store. Is this illegal? What would the charges be? Is it really only back and forth from home to the range only? I am guessing because you have to leave your gun/guns unattended in the car while shopping and they could possibly be stolen or used in public.

Noooooooo. I don't need more competition looking for a lever gun. Lol No seriously. They are really cool looking guns and I think it would make a great first rifle to do some target shooting. Was looking at bolt action as well but probably go with a lever soon.

Oh yea I forgot about the sr22. Yea I meant the mark series guns. I was also thinking of spending a few more bucks and getting a used colt woodsman. Those are really sweet guns too.

Guy at Dicks sporting goods told me two days ago that they have been getting them back in about 7 days.

In my town, although in May they are ending job verification letters and they will not contact your employer, I was given the letter to hand to my job and it clearly says you are applying for a fire arms ID card and or permits. It also has three questions, 1. How long employed there 2. Are you of good moral character. 3 And please describe applicant in a few words. Woman handling my papers said this was useless info they never used which is why they are stopping the job request.

Ahhhh the A-team was one of my favorite all time kid shows to watch. I was allowed to watch it because nobody ever died. I always remember the shiny assault rifles they used. Were those real guns or just made up for the show?

I love the Ruger .22 guns. The only thing I hate is the takedown. Seems like a lot can go wrong when reassembling or something can break. Im also thinking of getting a .22 pistol in a month or so. Having fun shopping around so far.

When I applied I only asked for two permits. After I found out you can renew for another 90 days if needed I was kicking myself. There was a slight delay with with my paperwork so when I inquired the status I asked if I could add two more permits and the woman said no problem. If I were you I would ask for 4 permits this time. $2 each won't break the bank if you don't use them in 6 months.

Was at Tips hardware this morning and they still had the two 686's there. A short barrel and a long.

Saw it thanks. Very nice and would buy Problem is that I am short on cash the next couple weeks. I need to pay with plastic or wait til the end of the month. Probably be gone by then.

No sorry. I thought it could run both .38 and 357 but the Uberti is a .38 only. Don't know who the seller is. I saw it at a shop.
