Look how much most of us spend on making a firearm compliant, I have a few black guns that set me back over $400 each (from out of state FFL's before shipment) in compliance work alone! These rifles retail for $700-$900 but everybody knows that if you are in NJ you are stuck and if you want it bad enough you will pay the price. Keep in mind, that $900 rifle with $400 in compliance work would never sell for $1,300 out of state...I would be lucky to get $500 for it from someone in say WV or FL since the rifle is chopped and nobody wants a chopped gun when they can buy a new one for the same price from a local shop without removing the FH and bayonet lug + pinning stocks and mags.

All are legal a GTG here in NJ. BTW, can't go wrong with a Sig P226

Not sure where you are shopping but most out of state dealers I've visited in Ohio, West V, etc. will sell you anything you want as long as you can produce a valid DL and pass the instant check + fill out the ATF form. I have NEVER been asked to show my stupid PRNJ Firearms ID card it was always show DL, fill out ATF paperwork, dealer picks up phone and calls it in, comes back OK and out the door I go. Is this legal? The BATFE says it is for long guns so I never violated any federal laws, handguns are another story and must ship to a valid FFL in your home state. Buying a rifle that isn't NJ compliant like an AK or AR and chopping it inside the Motel 6 room and driving home is a grey area...I have done it and never had any problems with the NAZI police (NJSP) but if you are not a risk taker I would avoid trying this.

http://www.mortarinvestments.eu/ A bud of mine purchased one who lives out in Idaho, shipping via sea freight isn't too costly This is the one: http://www.mortarinvestments.eu/products/armoured-vehicles-4/brdm-2-76#currency=USD To have it demilled (weapons/weapons systems removed) expect to spend $1-$2K and a few $K on shipping, for a running one with shipping and the whole nine yards you can have it here in your driveway for under $20K Crew of 3-4, get a FFL with a dealer sample letter for a half dozen selective-fire AK's and you have a persons worst nightmare on wheels They handle the export docs and are easy to deal with, if you have the extra cash you can buy a Soviet tank from them Wonder what NJSP would think about this on the road if the SHTF? Prob. run like hell from it!

I wouldn't trust my life to a 20+ year old vest unless it was stored properly. Do not bend them, put them in the dresser, etc,. they should always be stored flat and as you pointed out, away from sunlight and moisture. The reason most are taken out of service every 3-5 years is from people who wear them everyday and sweat, expose them to rain, sunlight, etc. I remember KeepShooting had a bunch of vests that were from a tropical climate and even though they were not too old they had started to break down and were only good as props/targets. I've purchased surplus LE vests and shot them, yes they still offered protection and many were 10+ years out of date but if body armor is on your list consider a good brand/rep. company and think of it this way...what will people be shooting at you with? handguns? AR's/AK's? If you are looking for rifle cal. protection the price goes up along with the weight of the vest/plates since the only option is hard armor... What if someone had a few live M67's and decided to use them? or a few 40mm HEDP rounds w/ a M203 or M79? People do have these it's no secret, lot's of stuff made it's way back from Vietnam and it makes you wonder in a real meltdown how much of this stuff would surface and be used. If things get that bad, GTFO and never look back. Ideal would be sell the wifes crap and buy a used APC (can be had for under $25,000) but the wife will have you living in the APC

Security doors that are designed to look like regular doors, I have them on my house. They have a steel "core" but a wood exterior. Dead bolts I have are designed where if someone inserts the wrong key or tries to pick it they perm. lock and need to be drilled out. Back doors also have 2x4's that drop into brackets when I'm out of the house, that combined with the security doors...good luck kicking 'em in Windows in the "gun room" are tinted black, behing them steel bars. All windows are "shatter resistant", windows that are not used are secured with nails. Property is fenced in. "punji stick" traps around my fence/yeard. solid steel 3 foot rods and hit them with a grinder for a sharp needle point. Razor ribbon hidden along in the shrubs and painted black. On the second floor roof/landing have that rigged with small steel spikes painted black and secured into 2x8's. Security cameras (8 total) watching/recording the property 24/7. 30KW Generator wired to the house. If things ever got REAL bad, I have 1,000 feet of Razor ribbon I can spool around the entire property and create a sterile perimeter.

That's the way it is with many towns, I would contact Evan Nappen - www.evannappen.com When I contacted Nappen about my FPID he called the local PD and sure enough, next morning PD calls. He didn't charge me anything, so all I can say is it's worth a shot to give him a ring! This State sucks for gun rights, had two rifles on hold while I waited for my FPID but it took so long to get it that when my card was approved the same two rifles were going for around $300 less each.

A retired doctor had a large machine gun (legal) collection in South Jersey or so I've been told back in the 70's/80's. So people can own Pre-86 auto's in the Garden State, but getting a MG license from the Sate isn't easy and out of the reach for most people. Cheapest M16 is going to run you around $15K, plus the tax and transfer fees Cheapest Pre-86 Auto is a MAC-10/11 at around $4K-$5K NIB or LNIB. What kind of business would give you the right in NJ to have a MG? I know certain FFL's are allowed to have them (Pre-86 and Post 86 dealer samples) but that's about it.

The Toad has always liked to sue, he also likes to take your money for a product he cannot deliver... First day of ShotShow: Sucks to be him (Toad) He's been in hiding and has his wife Wendy doing the dirty work, last time I heard her name was even on the ATF paperwork

Maksim is right Buy used, you should be able to recover your money and maybe make a few bucks if you decide to sell. I have several AK's and AR's, when I get tired of one I sell and buy something else used to fool around with and maybe decide to make a keeper out of. Also, Pre-1898 guns keep going up in value and even restored many will still go up in value if they are shooters in easily obtainable calibers. Nobody likes the Govt. knowing what they have, Pre-1898 is off the books and the Feds do not consider anything Pre-1898 to be a firearm. Thus the value of say a Pre-1898 Mosin in good condition is $450-$600 versus the $149 special that requires those 4473's I see it this way, I can rent at a range all day long but the rental costs will add up and eventually people spend enough renting where they could have purchased that gun they rented from the beginning. Ammo is just an expense, same as having a car...no gas? can't drive. no ammo? can't shoot. Cars break, need to be fixed. Guns break, need to be fixed. Atleast with guns you won't be hit with a $5K repair bill unless you own something VERY exotic Don't lie, let the family know what you have. Just keep the anti-gun family memebers (if you have any) in the dark about your hobby lol

I've shot the Norinco, it's a neat little carbine but welds are sloppy on most I've seen Paul (PK90) said it's a no-go, he would not transfer it. The SW5's are great guns IF you take the time to swap every major part with original HK parts, those original HK parts are $$$ and by the time you swap parts/get it as close as possible to a real-deal original HK94 you have taken a POS and put so much into it you will never get it back out when you resell it. After Sandy Hook people were getting a min. of $1,500 for SW5's!!! These things a worth $800 used IMO and that's pushing it! Found something else instead, ATI MKE 94 in 9mm. Built under license by HK it's as close to a HK 94 as we will ever get in the Garden State, open up the magwell to accept hi-cap mags and get some pinned 15/30 or original HK 15 round MP5 mags for it and I'm all set. Compliant with NJ evil feature count and the same gun as the SW5 (I've seen the SW5's in NJ) only this is made on HK tooling and under license in Turkey. I need to start selling the AK's and AR's to fund other black guns
-
Remember Special Weapons? They made 9mm clones of the MP5... Most were crap, some were good. Send it in for repair and it came back the same. Company changed names a good 4-5 times...
-
Great way to convert brainwash more folks about how guns kill people.
-
I forget how they did it, some were not real bad and easy to correct. Some were 30-40 degrees off and needed the above mentioned work to get them back in-spec. A slight cant isn't a big deal, but when the freakin sight is 30+ degree off you know Century has big QC issues.

What exactly do you define as being "fun"? What do the admins/mods define as being "fun"? These are the burning questions that must be answered

Colemans Surplus in PA had thos M1009's for sale and I was really thinking of getting one. Are you using this as your everyday ride?

If it says "Free Candy" it's a sicko, if it says "Free Beer" run like hell!!!

Not sure, I'm not a competitive shooter I purchased a Browning pocket pistol in .380 to carry. I have to look in the FLA licensing book I have and see if it makes any reference to that.

Take a look at the stuff the cops have recovered, go to 6:00 to see the guns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3rspxPPEZg
