I have a pistol which another gent is willing to take in trade for his pistol. Can not do a FTF and I would not want to - I am strictly FFL for hand guns and anything from out of state. How could the swap be accomplished without putting either of us at risk of getting ripped off?

Just give the cashier the code I listed. It is for 25% off

Just picked up a 5# vibratory tumbler for $44 including tax after coupon 50101088. They also have an 18# model which comes to $123 after coupon. 59" gun safe w/digital keypad for $240 after coupon. You can only use the coupon code once per day but if using cash, just come back to another cashier. I am going back later for a 24# box of walnut media with same coupon, should come to $19. You also get a free led light or multimeter with purchase - code 79146338

Thank you but I already placed an order for 147gr Xtremes

I am getting a vibratory bowl unit. Wet produces nicer looking results but more handling. If I was doing rifle, I would go wet tumble.

Thanks for the Solomon's hours. Will be ordering Xtreme plated, like the harder alloy and they cost the same. PD JHP is close in price but I have to order at least 4000 to get the price. May be worth it since I doubt pricess will decrease in the future.

Thank you. WHen and where can we meet. I am free tomorrow.

I passed by Solomon's but can never catch him open. Home is Freehold so PA is a bit of a trip but I may have no choice. Thank you for the offer Magnawing, If you can get any of the powders I listed in largest size they have, will be grateful to meet you Tuesday in the am. Can also do Camden on Thursday AM. Will pm my cell to you. Hard to believe pistol powder is so rare these days.

Have a Hornady LNL on the way, can not find powder. Plan is for Accurate no.2 or HP38 or W231 for 9mm, 40 SW and 45 USPSA and steel loads. If anyone has some I can buy, or perhaps go in on buy to help reduce costs. Will also need bullets and primers. Midway has the primers.

There's a new permit application process. Done online with the state. Then bring $20 to local PD. Instead of waiting weeks to hear from the state, they now get results in days. Did it in Marlboro, works great.

I would really appreciate attending a clinic. Planning to start reloading semi-auto pistol. Please post any news for a CNJ class. May I attend the May clinic in Oxford?

Claim payments are determined by many factors [policy limits, state insurance laws, claimant's financial condition, specifics of the fire, contributing factors, etc., etc]. Yes, I do have first hand knowledge of numerous screwings of homeowners and business owners. In states like Fla, insurance laws make it easy for claimants to sue insurance companies for "bad faith" if they engage in double dealing the claimant. NJ laws were written by insurance companies. Insurers almost never deny a claim, they just offer a ridiculously insufficient amount. The "inspectors" who look over your property when writing a policy, usually work for the insurance agency/broker. Their report is not binding on the insurance company. Only the "written terms" in the policy have any influence. Those terms are written with intentionally vague language. There are NFS regs on proper storage of just about every type of hazardous material, most people are not even aware. Most people keep their primers and powder in a safe or steel cabinet - the exact opposite of when NFS regs require. To avoid hijacking this thread, I'll finish with the following: I, personally, would keep powder/primers in a house, only after my insurance company sent me a written acknowledgement of my reloading activity/materials and waived this as a cause for denying any portion of a possible loss claim. Additionally, I would also notify my local fire inspector [in writing].

if you store a couple of gallons of gasoline in your garage and have a fire loss in which the gasoline burned as well, you will likely see most of the claim denied.if the fire is determined to have started in the vicinity of the gas, you will likely have the entire claim denied. Gasoline must be stored in a hazmat fireproof cabinet - for insurance purposes and most policies do not permit it to be stored in the house at all. Spray cans are not as big a problem unless you have a couple dozen. The qty will lead insurer to claim negligence by the homeowner in storing these in a fireproof cabinet. Insurance is a dirty game, built on denying payment and playing the odds that most people do not read the fine print of their policy and do not demand written clarification of restrictions before something bad happens.

Insurance company does not prohibit reloading in the house, they just use your storage of hazardous materials as an excuse to deny most of your claim in case the house is damaged. If you have not informed them ahead of time about storing gun powder and primers in the house, they will likely deny any fire damage claim in which those materials are involve in any way. The Feds may say it is legal but insurance companies are not obligated to pay for resulting damage [read the fine print about hazardous materials in any policy]. If you inform them that you reload in the house, they will likely jack up your rates or make you sign a waiver which would let them screw you out of any claim. I've spent years and Hundreds of thousands on insurance suits - I know of what I speak.

I've been collecting my 9mm 40 and 45 brass for about 6 month now - anticipating getting into reloading. My calculations say that unless you purchase serious QTY of components [10,000 rds worth or more] a 9mm round will cost about 0.18-0.20 each [without brass]. 45 ACP comes to about 0.25. Savings increase from using cast bullets but I am concerned with health effects of breathing led vapor with every trigger pull. There is a definite benefit in having better availability of ammunition that you load but components are becoming scarcer as well. I will continue to accumulate brass until I have at least 20,000 cases [by May]. At that point I figure it will pay for a complete progressive setup even if I save only 10-15% per round. A progressive setup like Dillon 650 could knock out 10k of 9mm in a weekend. I also plan to have it mounted on a rolling stand so that I could take it to a storage facility when I need to do a large run. Having gun powder in my house is an unacceptable risk and insurance will not cover any damage which may result - I checked. Like you, I have limited time and prefer to use it to shoot. Having tested custom against factory, I find little recoil difference in 124gr and 147gr 9mm loads. For IDPA and USPSA type shooting, MOA accuracy is not needed. 40 and 45 offer more recoil mitigation with reduced loads while still meeting PF for USPSA. Likewise, Steel gamers get a much softer bang with reloads. Despite our NO INFLATION economy, I expect prices to continue rising. Anyone who shoots/practices regularly, will at some point get enough savings to justify reloading, even when labor is added to the cost. Shooting seemed such a simple hobby when I first started.

I have the Match with 22 Long Slide. Purchased as a 45 for the NJ compliant mag capacity. Purchased a 9mm and 22lr with 10rd mags. The Long Slide has Super Sight target sights and 4.75" barrel. The 22 has a bull barrel and eats any ammo I get. Gun weighs about 39oz loaded so recoil is a non issue. The only thing I am trying to find is a FO front sight for it. Use the 9mm in competition also so having a common frame helps in training drills and keeps the cost down. Changed out the trigger for a Henning flat - feels better than my Buckmark and MKIII [Hunter]. Easily matches both in accuracy. The buckmark and Ruger have the advantage of easy optics install and are easier to hold for those with smaller hands or young shooters.

Just called them. Will be going tomorrow for an M&P - too good a deal to pass up. Is there a reason why a person would purchase a standard version vs NJ version? anyone know where I can purchase a few mags? [15rd] or less

East Brunswick has 100 Rd boxes at 10.00

sportsman's warehouse has new manufacture reloadable 115gr for 0.27/rd shipped. I ordered yesterday

Can backorder Herters 9mm from Cabelas and get free shipping or free to store. Also get $25 to sign up for their card. Bottom line is that i backordered 600 rds of 9mm [brass] at 0.23/rd, delivered. They expect delivery in a couple of weeks.

As an addition to the updates issues, make sure you have MS Security Essentials [free from MS] installed and running on her PC. Many seniors follow pop-ups and add links which may plant viruses into their PC.

You can try trap at OBRPC. You will have to pay for the shells and the guys will give you a gun to use as well. Look for the monthly shotgun meet on their website. I tried it for the first time last month and can't wait to do it again

There is shootnj in Middletown . The have advanced classes which I would love to take but they do not have a fixed schedule on their site.

I shoot the match elite. Have 9mm 45 and 22lr slides. Most comfortable sa gun for me to date. I am also considering a stock 3 to add to my lineup. I just joined OBPRC. Let me know if you want to try it. Pm it email is best

The bass are moving through. The change in the weather last week has started the feed. Have a couple of fish from the shore and going on a charter on Wed. When I had more time I would fish the beach and bay exclusively. Now I go on charter boats since I no longer have the time to scout.
