I like Revolvers as well. They go bang everytime and tough to beat a .357 for stopping power and accuracy. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Had credit card stolen twice because of PSA. For ammo SG or Selway are much better. For MAGS MidwestPX, Estrella, or Charlie Cooper's. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I don't know enough about them to answer intelligently, but the safety has never bothered me on a Beretta. I was just curious why Beretta gets so little love being the Military used it for so long. WWI-WWII Pistols I can give a much better answer. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

That's the thing with the Beretta you leave the safety off so when carrying so there is no extra step involved. I understand the having to get used to the first round being DA but with practice it becomes second nature. Just my opinion. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I don't know why there is so little love for the Beretta's and everyone wants Glocks or Sigs, but I feel it safest carrying a Beretta especially for someone new to carrying. One in the chamber safety off. It's just like carrying a revolver. First round is double action then single action. Nothing to mess with, little chance of accidental discharge.

They make for a nice IWB in the back carry because they are so thin. Also one of only 2 handgun specific rounds that will go right through a Type 2 Bulletproof vest. The other is the 5and7, but you will need to put enough holes in the attacker and wait for them to bleed out. 7.62x25 has stopping power. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Which the Finns? I would say most people start with a M39 VKT or Sako and go from there. A nice matching one around $450 or matching but the magazine $400. Barrel, receiver, bolt, and magazine should be Finn Matched which means you will many times see other serials crossed out. Stock you want wartime or transitional. The second most common is the M91/30 Tikka they are usually unissued and all matching 1944 or 1945. For a Hex Receiver around $400 a round receiver $500. Finn M91, M27, and M28 can be had for $300-450 Finn M24 run $400-1500 Finn M/28-30 is my personal favorite and most accurate. It is a Civil Guard Rifle. They run $500-1,000.

In states where people carry many people carry a backup too. So you want to be proficient in whatever you carry. Smaller pistols are perfect for an ankle holster. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Absolutely there should also be a petition and action to repeal 1968 GCA and 1986 NFA which was passed in violation of the rules of Congress. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Maybe this video can spur some interest in Milsurps. Some of my favorite rifles the Finnish Mosins. I don't collect Finn Captured or any other Mosin just Finn Assembled. https://youtu.be/46ZP9XH8bZs Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I wasn't referring to you directly. You don't live it that district do you? Yes I replied to you but that was over after the first sentence. Guess I should have separated the posts. I like Rullo too, but look how many morons on here haven't gotten behind him. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

If they were strong 2A absolutely for any position other than POTUS Excuse me for not paying enough attention to this liberal hell hole of a State, but you people in extreme Northern NJ let a Democrat take Scott Garrett's seat? This state is pathetic. Vote for whoever you want it seems a lot of you want to be losers. Then when the Dem wins you can all comply and come on here and whine like little girls about the gun laws in NJ. Scott Garrett was too conservative for NJ, I would think that was a joke coming from a firearms owner almost anywhere, but this state. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Yes One Direction before they went on hiatus. Been a few others as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The reason NJ gun laws suck is thinking like that. Because you don't like the Republican candidate's religious beliefs you don't vote for him or even worse vote Dem? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

About 9 months ago pulling out of my driveway taking my daughter to soccer practice. Pulled over for license plate light. First time I knew it was out. Handed young cop license, registration, insurance, and NJSP family member card. He went to his car and came back with a ticket and all my cards. I was very polite. There really wasn't much talking at all. My license is completely clean. Last ticket was 1997 before that one. I took ticket and called the trooper. Next day got an apology, but still had to pay $54. Kid was a cop less than a year and claimed he didn't know what the metal card was. Once they are written there isn't much that can be done. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I have carried all of my handguns at one time or another. I don't buy one as a carry gun because they all can be carried. Depends on what you're wearing and the time of year. Many times I'll carry two. Beretta 96 OWB with a. 380 in a Ankle Holster. A M57 fits nicely IWB in back. Ruger Service Six In a Shoulder Holster. I have a double shoulder holster and did once carry both a Beretta 92 and 96 but that was a little much. I guess one could get used to it, but it didn't feel very natural. The only ones I haven't carried are WWI-WWII Pistols Luger, Nambu, and 1911. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Ammocanman has milsurp .50 cans in excellent condition everyday for $13.05 each if you buy 3-5 even less for larger orders. Use Coupon Code "Facebook" for the 10% off. Sportmansguide is even better price but do you have to be a member for that pricing? Nevermind I see you have to join. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

So better off to buy a refinished original stock with matching or mostly matching parts? By swapping parts I meant with the shooter's kit as you mentioned and putting the original parts aside. I've seen a few original stock sets for sale in Germany (so they claim) that sell for around 200€. I was thinking maybe swap the original stock with one of these. Putting the original aside when not shooting. I'm hoping to find one with collectible value but not 100% for around $1,600. What about that plan? Either way it will have to wait a little bit because I went on a FN-49 binge this week. Basically adding all models except the most rare Indonesian, Brazilian, and Congo.

I plan on buying a matching or mostly matching metal, with new stock or re-finished original stock then swapping out parts before shooting. This way it has some collector value but it isn't too expensive to shoot. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Very nice. I fire everything I collect except two firearms my 1919 Colt Black Army and a Finnish 91/30 in a M/27 stock. Rifle isn't worth much but it is very cool looking. I probably shouldn't fire some others, but I can't resist. I'm looking for a G43 also. Are you a member of k98kforum? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

It worked now. The forum has a polite message. Said something like "this member is not inclined to receive messages from you". Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

You have me blocked still lol. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

They are good choices, but I prefer the 1941 or earlier Long Branch No4 Mk1 (no asterisk). Also tough to beat a Lithgow No1 Mk3 The nicest looking for different reasons are the Irish Contracts the No4 Mk2 and No1 Mk1 All the Enfields are fine shooters. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I agree ammo supply has a bearing. When cheap .303 dried up Enfield prices dropped. Even when CTD came up with a ton of HPX .303 prices never recovered. There are others that never took off in price like M1895 Mannlichers, Carcanos, and others. However Milsurp interest is alive and well outside NJ. Just check recent gunbroker sales. What did you mean by mint collector items? Just curious as to what others collect. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Maybe I will get lucky and new federal government will rule NJ laws invalid. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
