Is m pro7 a cleaner and lube or just cleaner/solvent ?

Yea $800 for the Uberti. I don't know if there was action work on it but it was in very good condition as far as I can see. I don't know how to check the internal parts. I thought $800 was a bit high. I would have walked out with if it was $600-$650. Like I said the Rossi's are very nice looking guns but I have yet to hold one. How is the fit and finish on these? Aren't they made in Brazil? The newer Marlins I looked at looked a little sloppy so I think I'll stay away from them.

Thanks for the advice. I was looking to shoot just .38 but may go with a .22 instead since I have been seeing the ammo at a few shops but it does go fast. Saw a Uberti silver boy .22 online I liked. I really like the side loading if the larger caliber lever action guns rather than the stock type loading the .22's use. I did not know about the Uberti metal issues. I saw a used Uberti golden boy 1866 .38 for $800 but it seemed high because I saw a new one online for $925. Just started checking out Rossi's a few days ago. They look really nice. Are they are made overrseas as well? The Winchesters are expensive so I will work my way up to one of those later on.

Says you need to belong to some kind of shooting club? Is that true?

Try Tips Hardware in West Creek.

I was undecided on getting a Sig 2022 or M&P 40 and I looked at one of these this past weekend. Would like to fire both before I decide. It felt really nice in hand but was noticeably heavy compared to some other 40 cal I have held. The only thing I did not like was the cheap plastic guide rod that was on the gun. I do know if this is a Sig specific thing or just this model. I know that these can be swapped out pretty easily. Let us know how it shoots.

Do either of these have a strong or bad smell? Can I clean and lube them indoors? Will I smell the gun when stored away?

Hickok 45 style range. Make sure you have a GONG and some small steel animals to shoot.

So your telling us that your dad is the chief of police. Lol Congrats.

1. Application type. Initial FID w/ 4 permits 2. Police Department where you applied. Stafford Township 3. Name of the person you dealt with at the PD. Denise Neice 4. Time taken to issue FID and/or permit. 2 months and 2 days 5. Documents required by the PD. None 6. Notes - anything pertaining to the application process. I would have received everything at least 3 weeks earlier. Job was slow in returning job verification. After one mailed copy and three faxes and a phone call directly to my payroll department by investigator, verification was faxed back. One good thing about the delay was I was able to add 2 additional permits to application for 4 total. Definitely worth the three week wait in that aspect. Overall very happy with the process and my towns's efforts.

Shore Shot in lakewood had a ton of Kimber mags on the racks. Not sure if Solo was one of them. Give them a call.

I just bought a Walther P99 and need to get some good lube to keep her running smooth. Any suggestions? Does it make a difference if the gun is steel or poly? Manual says use Happe's #9 Nitro Powder Solvent and gun oil or household oil but I want to see if you guys recommend something else.

I agree and if you look at it you would never know it was used. The seller was a really nice guy. He threw in a couple of extra mags as well giving me 6 total mags in the sale, four 10 rounders and two 15 rounders. He was reluctant to sell the Walther at first because he could not find a suitable replacement gun. Then to my luck, he found something he had to have and decided to sell to offset his purchase price. She will be my pride and joy for the next 30 days until OGAM has pass.

I found a used Uberti 1866 lever .38 cal this weekend that I may put some money down on. Anyone familiar with this model and caliber?

Sorry for unrotated pictures. don't know how to change.

Gun in mint condition and looks brand new. The grip feels great. Should keep me happy for a while or until the next gun I buy.

Just picked up a slightly used Walther P99 9mm this morning. Bought it from forum member a few hours ago, Can't wait to try it out this week.

I was thinking about buying a slightly used Uberti 1866 yellow boy 19" lever action rifle. I compared it to a new Marlin lever action and was blown away by the difference in quality and workmanship in the Uberti. The few Uberti's that I have come across seem very well made and built to last. I was looking for a Winchester lever action they are hard to find and very expensive. I also heard that takedown and maintenance on the Uberti's is pretty simple. Does anyone have a yellow boy the can comment on? Anything I should look for if I buy used?

Did he buy anything?

Saw the three exact guns mentioned above today at Tips Hardware. This was only the second shield I saw on the shelf in a dozen shops I visited the last few months. I think the Shield was $440 but call first.

THIS ^^^^^^^ very good advice. I too am new to firearms and I started off wanting a 9mm and then jumped to wanting a 1911 45 cal. I saw some barely used Kimbers for the same price of a new Sig or H&K. I went with a 9mm first for two reasons, ammo cost and shooting comfort. A 45 packs a wallop when fired and I think can discourage new shooters and accuracy as well. A 1911 has the punch and fires much differently. I plan to use my guns for target practice and range shooting so a 9mm made more sense to me to start with. Now being said, I will one day be adding a .45 1911 to my inventory for sure but only when I get comfortable handling a "baby gun" like the 9mm then I will have the confidence to use a 45. I acquired 4 permits and my handgun purchases the next 6 months will probably will go as follows... 9mm, 40 cal possibly M&P, Glock or Sig, revolver probably 357/38 Smith, and a .45 cal possibly being a 1911. Keep in mind that I have changed my mind hundreds of time while waiting for my permits to come in.

I would buy a bunch of old western Winchester rifles and Colts pistols first.

I see a lot of used guns for sale on Gun Broker and in shops. A lot of the descriptions add the number of rounds fired. Do you guys think these numbers are accurate or exaggerated to make the sale look like a better deal. Some I have seen advertised are super low like on "one box of ammo shot" or "only three mags fired". Seems weird that someone would shell out $1000 or more on a gun and sell it for a loss because they never used it or did not like it.

I think it would be cool to have certain hours daily that you can use the loud guns and not get dirty looks. For example 9am to 11am and 4 pm to 6 pm shotguns and large caliber handguns and rifles. Not that the range would be closed to smaller arms during those times but this way anyone who does not like big booms would stay away those times knowing that the majority of the shooting will be big guns. I would definitely come those times for shooting and I would shoot those guns more often.
