Mr.Stu

No difference except if it's a two family or condo you cannot carry in common areas.

The training you need to get for UT is not sufficient for FL. FL require a live fire portion that UT does not. The people who offer a combined course do the UT mandated classroom stuff and live fire. They will usually have a qualified person on hand to take care of the fingerprint cards too. You would then just have to write checks for each state and mail the packets.

There is nothing in the NJ statutes that says the range has to be open nor that you have to shoot when you get there. It's legal to drive from anywhere in NJ to, let's say EFGA, where you can let yourself onto the range property at any time of the day or night. You may only shoot during daylight hours, but that is irrelevant. When there you can strap up and then go about your business in PA. When you're done, go back to the range property, secure your sidearm unloaded in the trunk and head home.

Different towns have different policies. Some, like yours are a PITA and do anything they can to make life harder. Others are fine and will sign an extension just because you didn't use the permit yet. For the ones that are obstructive, I think you should apply for new permits every time you go to pick up a set. The town gets $2 per. That doesn't come close to what it costs for the PD to do the paperwork. Maybe ask the mayor why his PD's policy is to waste taxpayer money.

This is really interesting. I've had to mortar my 870 at 3 gun matches a few times now - often enough that it's an automatic malfunction response now. I've had it with Herters and Federal. I'll take a close look at my barrel. Thank you.

In fact an FPID is not required at all for a pistol purchase but a PtPP is needed in every case, face to face or through an FFL. The buyer keeps one copy, the seller has another, the 3rd copy goes to the issuing authority and the 4th goes to NJSP. If NJSP are the issuing authority then 2 copies go to them. The seller is responsible for sending the copies to the police.

I put one on my rifle and the bolt hold open on empty stopped working. I tried fiddling with springs but the only way to get things running properly again was to remove the gadget.

Sadly, that won't save you. Because it's an AR mag, if it holds more than 15 rounds it's verboten. Just because it will also feed a bolt action is irrelevant. That fact that it will continuously feed a semi auto the mag is illegal. NB. It's the mag on its own that is illegal, not the gun/mag combination that you possess.

I shoot IDPA in an indoor range and drop mags on the concrete floor all the time. Dropping loaded mags, with the extra weight of the rounds I can see as a bad thing, but empty they should be built to handle it, in my opinion.

Why are you carrying a rifle caliber? We all know rifles are much more powerful than handguns. You will be better off with a .22CB (citizens bullet) - not used by any military anywhere, except as field artillery in Lilliput.

If the magazine fits a semi auto it may not hold more than 15 rounds that it can continuously feed into said semi auto. If it only fits a bolt action there is no capacity limit.

Thanks! I'll be there around 11ish.

As the subject says, can anyone point me to someone who has Federal SPP in stock, please?

How is it a straw purchase? A straw purchase is where someone not otherwise disqualified buys a gun legally with the intent to supply it to someone who cannot buy it legally. A transfer with CoE and FPID from one person to another is perfectly legal. So is a transfer in the opposite direction. So long as both parties have a valid FPID and CoE forms are filled in each time there is no law broken. You don't even have to keep the forms after the transfer. In fact I'd encourage everyone to do it as often as possible just to annoy the likes of Weinberg. ETA: This applies to rifles and shotguns only. All handgun transfers need a PTPP and are subject to the OGAM rules, etc.

Look at a browning hi power and install a set of slim grips. There's a lady on here that has just got herself one of these and it fits like a charm. Said lady has the smallest hand I've ever seen on an adult.

...and it turns out I was wrong. The smallest I have is 1/16". Sorry.

I definitely have a flat punch that size. Let me check my roll pin punches tonight.

True, but I meant I didn't shoot it for the year before that.

I haven't shot mine in over a year.

I think the one on the bell is a parallax adjustment.

I'm leaning towards a Vortex Strike Eagle because the 4-12x Nikon M-223 is just too big and heavy for the 3 gun comps I'm getting into. If the M-223 is what you're after, maybe you can take it off my hands for a fair price. It will come with the Nikon mount too. It definitely holds zero range trip to range trip. I zeroed it about 18 months ago and it still hits where it should.

Thanks, Nick.

Having shot my 2nd 3 gun match at Easton this weekend I am fully convinced that the 4-12x Nikon I have sitting on my AR is just way too much glass. I'm looking for advice on what to replace it with. One option would be a smaller scope, maybe 1-6x like the Vortex Strike Eagle but that is still only a couple of ounces lighter than what I have on there now. If I went for a red dot I think I'd need some kind of magnifier for the long range shots. How well do these work on a hinged mount? What else should I be thinking about? Please let me have your ideas. Thanks, Stu

Yeah, thanks for setting it up MJ. ...and Ed, you're welcome. Nice to see your face yesterday, it's a shame you couldn't stay for the match.

Ken wanted to run 4 squads tomorrow and has asked me to run the 4th squad. Therefore, Sandy and I are now on squad 4. Mikeyjones, if you can bring the powder Sandy asked for in your PV order, we'll have the cash for you.
