I taught myself, my dad was a deadbeat and gramps was killed in a car accident before I was born. Got my FID when I was 19 in 1999 and bought a Mossberg 835. Went old school clay shooting with the hand throwers every week for years on a buddys farm. That place is probably so contaminated right now but we didn't know any better back then.

What a waste of ammo.

Thanks guys, I always wanted a 1911 that looks like an original Colt but was super accurate. Its the USANA range in Elmer. There is lots of outdoor ranges too. http://usanamtcnj.com/

Thanks guys, the black circle is 12 inches across. I thought about painting the front sight but I'm going to try it outside with daylight first. My steel target is white so it might work okay. I was thinking about changing it to a gold dot.

I paced it out and was shooting at 60 feet.

I've been shooting shotguns and rifles for 14 years but never owned a hand gun. Well after waiting for 64 days for my P2p's I am the proud owner of a brand new bad ass Springfield Range Officer 1911. The people at The Gun Rack in Vineland are awesome! They answered all my questions and gave me a great deal. I went straight to the range from there. It was raining today so I figured I would try the indoor range for the first time. Unfortunately there was something wrong with the lights and only two of them worked. The black sights on the gun were pretty hard to see. I had set up a flashlight on the target Here is a target that I rested my forearms on the little table Here is a target I shot free standing. I saved all my brass because I cant believe how fast $50 in ammo goes. I think I was there about an hour and shot 100 rounds. I'm going to get into reloading soon. I cant believe how fun it is, with a little more practice I think I can get pretty good at it. If I can get off work I'm going to go to the steel match at the Central Jersey club next month.

What's lead time?

HOLY $#!+ that place is awesome!!! I found this on there and I had to keep the computer from falling off my lap. http://www.model1sales.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=194 Is it legal for us poor bastards to own???

I took these with my S3 on Friday behind the expo center at the gun show. I set it on black and white (obviously) for that nostalgic look.

  Yes, you should stay in Jersey and mind your own friggin business. Goodness gracious you people scare the hell out of me. If you guys would have seen this kid you would have been freaked out too. I was listening to him for a few minuets talking to the dealer and he had that Private Pyle, psychotic, talking to his rifle, tone in his voice.

There was this creepy dude wearing a brown trench coat, he bought an AK47. I saw him about an hour and a half later and I could tell he had it under his coat, he was creeping around the ammo so I quickly went to the other side of the building and stayed well away from him.

I'm not sure who I got it from but it was $3.95, I got the stock with guard and bayo for $24 he was on the left side somewhere about the middle. I got the stripper clips, the sling and the sight tool for pretty cheap from an old couple on the right side at the end of an isle. Did you find anything besides ammo?

I know, its pretty funny but not really because it seems like nobody really knows what is legal and what is not, not even the police. No wonder all the kids these days just stay in the house snorting perks and playing video games.

It was a pretty cool show I guess. I got all this for just under $300. Check out the guys at North East Target & Shooting Supply for primers, bullets, brass and all that stuff. Really nice guys and awesome prices for awesome products. The most depressing thing about going to a show like this is that everywhere you look is something you cant have because you live in NJ

Thanks man, the original one it about 11 1/4" I think. I'm going to see if I can find one like yours for a good deal tomorrow.

I asked the Chief if hollow points are legal today and he said nope. Then he pops out one of his extra mags and shows me what they use and it looked kinda like this http://www.sgammo.com/product/federal/20-round-box-40-cal-sw-federal-hydra-shok-jhp-165-grain-ammo-p40hs3. He told me it will put about a six inch hole out of your back. Do as I say not as I do...

That looks awesome man. Can you do me a favor and measure from the back of the receiver cover to the to the end of the stock with it collapsed al the way. I'm looking for a stock that can get my eye a little closer to the rear sight.

I'm going on Friday, gona TRY to avoid the crowds, probably still going to be packed though. Hope to find some good ammo deals, a nice ammo can, some reloading stuff, some 1911 mags and a bayonet for my Sks.

Chances are they will go with a plea bargain and be back on the street in twenty years, or less.

Pretty awesome pictures man. I agree with most here, I dont like shooting animals but if I was starving I would. I think deer meat is kinda bad. My uncle gave me some last week. I tried to make meat sauce for pasta and it was pretty bad.

Get in Marty!!!

I have had my long guns permit for 14 years. I have never had any kind of record or done anything wrong but now I feel like a criminal. I live in a small town that is one square mile that has its own police department (I don't know why there is zero crime in this town). The police have nothing to do except sit on the corner and look on their phones. I applied on October 24th for my first P2p. I was told on that day by the Chief it will take 30 days. We had a friendly conversation that day about pistols. He was telling me about Sig's and how good they are and about the local range. About three weeks later my references finally got their letters and mailed them right back the same day. On November 26th I went to the station to say hello and see if its ready. I was told by another officer that it takes four to six weeks and that only one officer (Dave) does them and wasn't there. I caught up with Dave a couple nights later while on a bike ride. He said he was still waiting on the state. I called the state police on December 4th and they said they processed it on December 2nd and mailed it back a couple days later. I want to the station today at 3pm, the Chief was there, (playing with his phone, he was the only one on duty today so he was probably bored). I was being nice, at least I thought I was, I asked him how he's been and if its finished. He was kinda short with me and said if they didn't call me, its not done. I told him that I called the state and they processed it on the 2nd and mailed it back a couple days later. He didn't seem very happy that I called them. Then he tells me that they are a small department and that taking calls is more important than permits. Now I 100% agree with that, but, the thing is the only "calls" they get are the texts on their personal phones. I lived in this town my whole life, I know what goes on... nothing. He also tells me that they get a lot of permit requests this time of year and I'm not the only one. Theres only about 1500 people in this whole town 3/4 of them are kids and elderly that don't get P2p's. Out of the other 25% I'd say very few are getting permits. Then he tells me Dave is on vacation. I guess no one else can take 20 minuets out of their day and finish it. He also told me that when its done they will call me and to stop coming around and asking about it. I'm the kind of guy that when I want something I go get it. I already have a $900 pistol paid for and I cant touch it. Don't get me wrong I actually like the police in my town but this is ridiculous. I read through this thread and know theres guys waiting wayyyy longer than me but this whole system is horrible. If I was a criminal I could go buy one right now, probably for half of what I paid for the one I already paid for too. I cant believe we have to put up with this. It sucks we are a society of sheep that live in fear.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it was gona be dumb but it was a pretty good and funny read. I think most of you guys need to take off the tin foil (I'm just messing with ya). SHTF will never happen in this country, but then again they were saying the same thing in Germany 70 years ago. I don't have either rifle so I cant comment on the poll. If I did I would go with the fake M-16 because "America is all about speed, hot nasty bad ass speed." Eleanor Roosevelt.

Check this place out, they have plenty of ranges, no trap but they do have 2 manual clay machines. An indoor range too. http://usanamtcnj.com/

Awesome prices and deals, thanks for the heads up.
