Is that a good deal on those used 870s?

Saw this also while I was browsing around http://shopruger.com/Ruger-BX-Trigger/productinfo/90462/ Drop in replacement trigger with 2.75 lb pull

Not sure if it's necessary but the shop I just bought my last rifle from told me to make a copy of the COE, keep the original in the safe and keep the copy in your range bag. I didn't think this was necessary but I didn't have time to have that conversation.

Hey Thanks for the offer! I've pretty much decided to go with the prebuilt AR, but down the road I'm most likely going to want to build a different upper so i may just take you up on that.

Where could you find a LMT for under $1k shipped? Saw one today at Ramsey Outdoor but it was $1900 OTD.

I didn't think $1000 was that much to be honest. Been putting money into my firearms budget for a while and I was going to put the $1000 into the bolt gun. But after the Gun, bipod and decent scope I'm a little over the $1k mark and limited to where I can really shoot it. Looking into AR's now I've been into most shops in north jersey handling them, dry firing, and asking questions. Everyone has their own opinion on which is "best" for the money but it changes from store to store. Some guns the finish look nicer, others are cheaper but don't come with dust covers or forward assists. Anyway Vlad had a good point about the Colt. The grip and stock had dry almost white patches and everything including the hand guard seemed like it had excess oil all over it. I dismissed it as being normal though. The main reason I dismissed building my own is I have no idea what I truly want or need. I rather buy a complete gun and take it to the range and shoot the hell out of it and then determine at that point what more I want to do it with it and figure out how to go about it. Not to mention also that with a complete gun I won't mind taking it classes on how to use it.. One other important factor I forgot to mention is resale value. Will the parts individually or even the complete gun be worth more if it was Colt as opposed to Stag.

$1000 max the Colt I saw at an NJ shop was pretty much the same but without the break.

Money to burn and cant figure out what to buy. One day I want a Remington Bolt Action, next day i want an AR... While looking into AR's I went into a bunch of shops and was able to handle some "budget" AR's. Best price is obviously the S&W MP-15 Sport but for a few hundred more you can get a Stag, or for a few hundred more you can get a Windham Weaponry or FNH. I understand that building one yourself is probably cheaper and more satisfying, but i kind of want one to just shoot for now and then i'll decide if i want to go down the build route. Most of what i looked at didn't have a rail system, just the plastic hand guard and basic M4 stock. I'll most likely keep it stock for a while so having said that is it worth it spending the extra money on the Stag, Windham or FNH? I also saw a Colt Target Model for under $900 (Stag Money). Is the colt worth it over the other brands? Again, Basic stock and plastic handguards...

Not sure who the younger guy at the shop is but i've stopped twice in the past 2 weeks and he was nothing but helpful. Let me see some long guns and never asked to see my FID like some other shops around here. Had a great conversation about bolt actions and I pretty much hung around the shop for 10 minutes or so. I never saw the guy with the ponytail or his wife, but the younger guy was great.

Nice. Gonna make the trek out there then. My wife actually likes going to gun shows. She always manages to find a random piece of jewelry to add to her collection. She can spend as much time as I do walking around.

Any one go this weekend? How was it? How is it usually? Lots of booths? I went to a crossroads of the west gun show while I was in AZ earlier this year and THATS a friggin gun show. Trying to decide if I want to take the 2 hour trip tomorrow...

Any idea when they will start posting dates for next year?

I'm getting AZ instead of UT since the requirements for AZ are similar to FL. Saves me from having to go through the Utah Class CT because like Jfoster99 said, they are close and the application process and requirements are also similar to FL. Another easy one to get and its a state not covered by FL or AZ. My wife also likes to go there for weekend getaways... VA i really don't need, but hey.. if i can fill the application out at the same time as FL and have it come back faster, i'll be that much closer to getting CT.

Thanks for all the advice guys. Since I haven't been to any NRA classes, or Hunter Ed Courses I'm taking the GFH Florida CCW course since the price includes the NRA First Steps Pistol Cert and the Florida Non-res CCW application payment. I also requested VA, AZ and CT application packets. VA and AZ I can fill out at the same time as FL, and CT i'll have filled out but wont send it out until either FL, AZ, or VA come back.. Here are some useful links for application packets.. http://www.vsp.state.va.us/Firearms_NonresidentConcealed.shtm $100 permit fee http://www.azdps.gov/Services/Concealed_Weapons/Permits/Obtain/ $60 permit fee Call 860-685-8494 to request a packet for CT $70 permit fee Edit: Just realized the GFH Course doesn't cover the Application Fee....

Not sure how it all works but I live in NJ and ordered these off off Amazon and was not charged tax. They're being delivered Tuesday

Yes but following the link you provided earlier it showed up for me as $49.99 through Prime, refresh a few times and it still showed $49.99. Cleared cookies and other site plug in data on my browser (chrome) and it then showed $34.99. Which is why i advised to clear cookies if it still doesn't show.

Just ordered a set for $35. If it still shows you $49 try clearing cookies on your browser

Sorry, I meant the Multi-State CCW course where you can do the application for 4 states all at the same time (Utah, Florida, Virginia, and Arizona) for $230. http://shootersontarget.com/multi-state.html Both RTSP and GFH are about $200 each (for Utah and Florida) Does he go also assist with the CCW application process or are we on our own?

Any place in North Jersey offer the Multi-State CCW like whats offered at the Quinton's Sportmans Club? Seems like a hell of a deal.

Been into 6 LGS's this past week seeing what kind of deals they were offering. I was looking for a Remington 700 SPS Tactical but also wanted to pick up something cheap i could use for sporting clays. Really wanted the Rem 870 Express with the 28" barrel but most didn't have them and one's that DID couldn't touch the price that Dick's was offering them for. Went to dicks, Asked to see both the 28" and 18" model so I could compare them both. The guy behind the counter wouldn't let me see both at the same time and besides that was very impatient and rude. I was the only customer at the counter so it wasn't like i was holding up the line. I know customer service varies from store to store, but this wasn't the first time i was treated poorly at Dicks. Moral of the story is i rather pay more at a LGS then give my business to Dicks. Just sucks when you see some these guys charging 15.99 to 22.99 for a sleeve of CCI mini Mags or 49.99 for a bulk pack of federal or something...

Any luck getting amazon to price match?

I'm curious where would it be legal to hunt with the 10/22 in the north east area?

It's back on if anyone is still looking for some. I have about 2000 rounds of 9mm and no gun to shoot it with... Go figure.

Can't say enough good things about the range or staff. Only complaint which happened today was my fiancé and I were shooting a .22 and right next to is some guys were shooting what looked to be a SBR in 7.62. Didn't make for an enjoyable range experience for her
