MauserCollector

Vlad G no offense meant but do you venture outside NJ often on forums or to shows? Milsurps are huge right now. Prices just came off their all time highs. Every piece of junk Classic put up sold out in minutes at double the going rate. Milsurp collecting is alive and well. Just not in NJ whether it is on this forum or at the local LGS. NY, PA, CA, GA, and New England forums just to name a few Milsurps are very active especially compared to NJ. I am interested in reading the opinions though of those in NJ. For me personally black rifles are me too guns. I have 3 of them AR-15 variant, AR-10, and Beretta CX4 Storm. I can get three more today in a click of the button. As Screwball said how many have those rare pieces. By the way the last .45 Luger I saw sell for $100,000. Screwball I know exactly what you mean. I got blasted on RMNF for putting my Arisaka back to original configuration by adding the missing parts such as monopod and AA sights. I said I wanted to find the right numbered bolt and they went crazy. I personally would never refinish a rifle or sporterize it. I look for ones in the condition I can live with. However once someone owns the rifle they can use it for kindling wood if they so choose. I may try to nicely talk them out of it, but it is America and they have the right to do what they want. For those looking for a $79 Mosin that maybe tough but Omega is selling $99 T53 Chinese Mosins. Russian Refurbs are back down to a reasonable $150. Over the summer I saw people paying $330 for common Russian 91/30 refurbs a with the accessories and $275 without the accessories. I said the prices were unsustainable. For instance Classic selling RC Mausers for $700. Many people got upset by this. Mainly because they look at their collections as a retirement fund. The RC Mausers are back to $350 which I wouldn't buy one even at that price, but it is a fair price. To me a RC Mauser is equivalent to a Mitchell's Mauser, just not in as nice condition. I know others feel different, but I don't collect Russian Rifles unless they were rebuilt by the Finns. I also agree BF1 will bring interest to the WWI firearms. That combined with the fact that the greatest WWI collection in the world is being sold this summer. JPS says he is retiring and selling just about everything. The photos attached are just a small sampling. As more old timers die off prices will continue to drop. That's why I am patient and refuse to over pay. I also don't see my collection as a retirement fund. I collect because I enjoy the history of them and shooting them. Many collectors say I'm crazy and prices will continue to rise, but I've seen many guys in their 70s with 1,000 rifles. As they hit the market and are being sold by their heirs there just isn't enough demand to maintain the high prices. Sorry for the super long post but I at least tried to break it into sections.

Why is there such a lack of Milsurp Interest on this forum? It is the only forum I go to that seems to have little if any interest in Milsurps. Especially with the ridiculous firearms laws in PRNJ one would think certain Milsurp Rifles would be very popular here like they are in Kalifornia. Rifles like the SKS and FN-49. Yet I see very little if any Milsurps on this forum section, on the for sale section, at the range, or in LGS. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Surplus MR-73 if you are looking for a handgun. Finest .357 ever made. https://ganymede.meccahosting.com/~a0000ae7/aaresult.php?PageId=58 Semi Auto Rifle a SVT-40 to go with your SKS Albanian or a FN-49. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

You said something that makes sense that makes one. For the record Illinois was forced to issue by the courts. Only Maryland, Hawaii, and NJ don't issue as a matter of practice even though they claim they do. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I think there is one in Morgantown today as well Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I thought this was a good article about a poor court ruling regarding the Second Amendment. Ultimately I feel we are going to need a Supreme Court Ruling that defines the Second Amendment once and for all. Hopefully national reciprocity act will fast track such a ruling. https://www.google.com/amp/www.forbes.com/sites/frankminiter/2016/06/10/why-the-ninth-circuits-concealed-carry-gun-ruling-is-nonsense/ Unfortunately I think the fees are staying. They will argue the fees aren't for the right to carry but to cover the administrative cost to insure those that have lost their gun rights don't carry. Which is BS because in most states the fees far exceed the costs. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Good point. There really shouldn't, but they damn near charge us for everything we do. They charge us for using indoor plumbing and water. Carbon taxes just about charge us for breathing. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I agree, but my guess is the final draft will make sure that home state CCW, if it is will issue must be obtained, or something to that effect. Otherwise the Federal Government would in a de facto manner be taking funds from the states. For instance if Florida charges $100 and Georgia charges $40 many Florida residents would simply get a Georgia License. I hope they do include such a provision. Otherwise it will give states like NJ a grounds for appeal. If they don't and we can use out of state absolutely NJ gets no money from me. I also believe this will all happen quickly. Once new conservative justice is seated, bill will be signed into law, NJ and other states will challenge, but Supreme Court will fast track the case and decide it is Constitutional. Total time til concealed carry in NJ = less than 6 months. There is no 10th Amendment issue because of 2nd Amendment and precedence with driver's licenses. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Double Post

Hulu is loaded with ads if you don't pay extra to not have them. If you want Hulu or Netflix cheaper look into EBay and purchasing gift cards. I got 3 years worth of Hulu Ad Free for $30 on eBay. I'm not sure if they are making these gift cards, but pay with PayPal and you have no worries. I've had the card on my Hulu account for 1 1/2 years and it is still going strong. Mine expires in less than a year because I have the ad free option. You can also search Bing and get enough points to cover the basic Hulu per month. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Because they are switching every two years and getting promo rates. Also likely only one or two boxes. The cheapest way to get regular programming with the least likely chance of being caught is to "share Directv". Four friends split one Bill. All you need is a dish and an active box to receive directv anywhere in America. Since Directv Satellite is downstream only there is no way of telling where the box is as long as it isn't connected to the internet or phone line. Not saying one should do this but I heard it works.

Kodi users are near the bottom of the list. Since you are streaming you aren't copying or downloading so it is a lot tougher to prove a copyright violation. Also you aren't sharing. Public Torrent users are a lot easier to prosecute, and would be at the top of the list. People that use sites like PirateBay and the former KAT are the most at risk. For extra protection access internet through a VPN. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

If you have business connection though Comcast it is slower than Residential Fios. If you need the speed and can switch to Fios do it today. You will be happier. I'm also guessing the TV package is a business package? I had a similar tv package at my office that was $18/month, but no one ever had time to watch it so I dropped it.

Kodi you get it all for free just the cost of internet. I pay $70 per month for FIOS 150/150 and Ooma for phone. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I know all about the cell phone and did get xbox one because I saw they changed it from always on that was originally planned. Not sure why I bought it since I have PS4 and backlog of games. I just couldn't pass up a good deal. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Meh MR-73 finish looks nicer. Viva le France! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Christie also wants the government to decide how doctors treat their patients. Part of the plan is initial prescriptions for pain medicine can only be 5 days worth. This is likely a deal worked out with the insurance companies. They pay for less prescriptions, but agree to pay for rehab, all while jacking up the rates. Insurance companies won't leave NJ. There are only 3 to begin with who collude with each other to milk every dime they can out of NJ residents. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

No chance I would do armslist deal shipped from out of state. I bought a SVT once on gunbroker and the next day it was listed on armslist for sale in MS and KS. Try other forums. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Also a side note. No one should move from the state of NJ without having any and all arrests or convictions expunged if they are able to be expunged. For example California expungement is a lot harder and doesn't exist for many crimes. NJ expungement is one of the best in the nation. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

My guess is there is more than one agency and more than one database that needs to be notified. Your lawyer should know which they are. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Court won't notify all the different agencies and databases you need. You or your lawyer needs to notify to be certain it is done right. The state police letter alone won't stop the local PD from searching the right database and delaying or denying you. I had it happen on my second set of permits for expunged juvenile things. Somehow there was a database not in existence at the time my expungement was done. Local PD didn't have access to database when I got my FID and initial permits. All they could find were the arrests not the dispositions, well because it was expunged. Luckily my mother saves every important paper going back to my grandparents service records. I was able to prove all charges were dismissed and expunged. Permits granted. It would have taken much longer if I didn't have originals because police couldn't find any other info because of the expungements. I was in a catch-22 per se. Juvenile database was notified and record is now sealed there as well. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

Legal but seems more trouble than it is worth. Guaranteed someone could get off 60 rounds with individual 15 round mags than you could 50 with that. Even someone like myself who doesn't shoot ARs often. Makes for an interesting conversation piece. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk
