welcome

thank you , spoke to the smith at Guild , has seal set on hand , can't believe it .. win!

Yes, I have looked into it unfortunately the co2 comes out in seconds as it has been sitting for 20yrs or so. I just don't have the right tools for this job. Crosman stopped making this model in 1986 and parts are scarce I have a parts schematic and is a tad overwhelming to me.. Lol

Does anyone have a guy/shop that does air gun repair work? I have an old Crosman Mark II in .177 that i would like to restore to former target glory and maybe give to my son. It has blown seals as the pressure comes out of the piercing knob. Prefer local (Middlesex County) but will send else where in state to someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks in advance

NJGF should offer a people matching service where like minded folk can exercise their 2a rights together and hang out at the range and compare hardware ...no guessing as to see what they have in common, it's all on the (safe) table. "It's the Freaking ORBPC Wine Mixer!" oh , and i love my wife

lots of good advice here , many price points ... if you care to stay within your stated budget , i like the Nikon. Under budget and works well .. I have the Rimfire version of this ... http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-P-22-2-7x32-Matte-BDC150/dp/B006YVT1JU

Oh and i believe that a well taken care of firearm is like money in the bank .. and if THEY end up outlawing my recreation .. the value doubles

it's normal man , your interests will waver between different things you like to do. As long as you have the means to do them, it's a good problem to have. Now that my kids are older and making their own weekly agendas, i have more time to myself(praise be). I was a big into fishing , every weekend morning, then it was golf and both of those eat huge chunks of time. Only now that i'm at the half-century mark that i have been bitten by the shooting bug , always wanted to shoot since i was a kid , but i shacked up with an anti and put it on the burner for another day. that time is now but came after 20yrs . Now i enjoy shooting very much but can't help but wonder how long it will last? ... still with the anti btw,.. slow roasting this conversion process.... it's tough

My wife got me new pair of boots and told me the day was mine.. Caught 2 largemouth in the morning.. Then spent 3hrs at the range and blew 200 rds of. 22 on the 100yd range and 200rds of. 40 with my Beretta... And had the whole range to myself at twilight... If that's what retirement is like..I'm working extra hard today.. Nothing special but felt like it

Those are memories she will never forget... Good times with Dad... Gotta keep em close.. Very nice

Good lord!! .. That thing gets the flame thrower!

I think they are called earwigs?.. Or something like that.. The speed which they move is a little freaky

My guns have to be kept locked up, I go for my bat and home run that bitch over the fence.... Throw out first pitch at Met game.

I say go for, make it 2 lanes and invite me over!

really looks sleek and smooth ...having those extended mags may have pushed me off the fence to purchase one .. it is very Glock-esque.

nice! congrats! .. curious though, how many fingers can you get around that grip ?

Good enough.. Thanks

the CZ 75 magazine base pad will fit on the Beretta 96a1? .. i have broken too many base plates lately , only $5.00 to replace but getting tired of replacing them. i know Ferrar used to make them , and was bought by Pachmayr, and after speaking with them, it doesn't seem they will be making more and Beretta stopped a few months ago and not sure if they will make again ..and Brownells said no dice .. any help greatly appreciated http://czcustom.com/Rubber-Base-Pads-For-CZ-Magazines.aspx http://www.berettausa.com/store/customer-reviews.aspx?DepartmentId=495&pg=3

agree ... i started out wanting to own and shoot some the iconic weapons from recent history , call it a "working collection" no heirlooms or safe queens. Granted i started my vision a little later in life than i would have liked, but i would like to continue but at what cost? ... having some of the few things i have for myself to enjoy be taken away with the swipe of a pen?... and it's not about the money , these are basic freedoms we should be left to enjoy ... oh well, i was in a good mood today

i'll save my praise for this guy Snowden when more comes out about the nature of his intentions. i do not think he set out to free the American people from the NSA's intrusions however , i think he was a little more self-serving in his actions. As of now he has done US ALL a great service in releasing this info, but to then run to America's foes he becomes a traitor IMHO. What other info does he have that he did not share with the media, maybe he saved some nuggets for admission to China and Russia .. they just don't let you hang around because your a nice guy, you need a golden ticket. we'll see

Spicy mustard, baked beans and onions on top... Gimme two!

I may not be as "hands on" as some of the other posters here in regards to reloading and familiarity with multiple pistols but my first purchase was the 96a1 and although i have shot plenty 9mm and .45 the main reason i bought .40 was the fact that 9mm was getting a little difficult to find locally. This was about a year ago i guess. The other reason was fit, the Beretta fit my hand great as opposed to Glock for instance. Turns out i really like shooting the .40 S&W. i think it is in the sweet spot for comfortable shooting . I recently got active in shooting games and use the .40S&W and i found that Beretta makes a decent holster for the 92 and 96 with a rail for $50 It comes with belt and paddle for the hip , pretty comfortable http://www.berettausa.com/products/beretta-92fs/92a1-holster-rh/

Like it.. and "need" has nothing to do with it... Go for it
