Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
Looks like the guy with the target tactical isnt interested in trading, so i'll just sell the M1A, hopefully, and buy a cheaper Rem 700 model.

Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
Yeah, im not sure, but like i said i wouldn't personally ship my gun out until my local FFL receives his.. The idea being we'd have an agreement on paper stating that the FFL's cant release either firearm until both reach their destination FFL's and are fully inspected to be sure they are in the described condition. It's a nice AR and id certainly consider the trade if he was local, but im not certain id like to deal with shipping it and with FFL's and what not. In reality, its not that far fetched for someone from NC to somehow end up looking at my post.. If he searched M1A on armslist or saw it when i bumped it up, he may have emailed me not even realizing we were in different states, so while it is shady due to the common scams on there, im not necessarily sure this one is.

To the moon Alice!
For a second i misunderstood and thought she hit your parked car or something. Nonetheless, sucks for that lady... haha.

MP5 or variants?
Yeah, they are 2-2500$ i think... Crazy.

MP5 or variants?
Yeah theres something like two .22's available, and any of the real HG caliber clones are stupid expensive. I looked into it a while back and there were one or two brands that make nj legal ones, but they are pretty damn expensive.

Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
By the way, someone down in NC wanted to trade rifles; would i have to pay ffl fees twice, once to ship it out to his ffl and once to receive his rifle? I dont think its a scam, the guy texted me and all. Seems like a cool guy? Not sure i really want to trade if i can get something like the rem target tactical, but this is just a general question for future reference. I'd also of course have to pay the shipping costs. The idea was he'd send his and i'd send mine to the two ffls, and once both are inspected and cleared we'll go get our guns. I'd probably make sure he sent his before i sent mine, just to be safe, as the whole 'stationed in NC' stuff sounds like a scam.. he DID contact me first, as well; i didn't find his ad in NJ only to have him say hes in NC and can ship, which is how the scams tend to go.

I'd love to have a nice pistol caliber carbine like the MP5. They were a blast to shoot out in PA too....

which forms?
That's what happens when you get old and senile... i believe it starts at about the age of 45 It could also just be the ridiculous laws here, or the fact that this poor gentleman hasn't had the chance to buy a handgun in a while. I Just had to fill out like two forms; one consent form and one typical application, same as initial fid, pay the 4$ for 2 permits, and they took it all. Could be because i got my fid and everything done in the last year, though. Easier than i expected.

Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
Not really a fan of somewhat expensive mods like that. At the end of the day, your chrome-covered Honda is still a Honda, LOL. I'd rather take the money for the cost of converting to a 308 plus what i can get for the rifle and just buy a better factory 308 rifle. I really like the rifle this other guy has, so i'm going to try and work out a trade with him, first.. It's more of a fair trade, i would say.. Just waiting on more pics, but he seems interested in trading as well. That'll probably be about more of an even trade, i think, as it is a bit more expensive than the rifle initally mentioned in this post, and while the scope is a bit cheaper, it already comes with a pelican hard case which saves me $$ trying to find a decent quality one that is big enough (my typical plano cases i buy for 70$ or so are great, but too small for long rifles) Just looked and buds was charging 1658 for that bare rifle, versus like 1300 and change for the M1A. If its in decent shape, i think i'll be trading this gentleman.

Any idea as to how much $$ they are asking for?

Who has a garden and what do you grow?
Not big on fertilizer myself.. The tomatoes (especially the grape tomatoes) have done well; we have a ridiculous amount at my mothers house and neither of us have purchased tomatoes at all this summer. The eggplants are producing nicely, as well.. Cucumber took a while to take root due to some animal eating the plant constantly down to the root (and completely killing one of the two that were planted). Same animal keeps eating the cabbage and broccoli plants, all of which either completely died after being chewed down to a nub or simply are growing very poorly now and will yield no vegetables. Next year, i'll be sticking to the big producers... A few tomato plants, 4 eggplant plants (have 3 now, and we get about two eggplants a week lately), a few cucumber plants, and zucchini as well as squash.. Peppers never seem to grow/produce right, and the broccoli and such have all been failures. I like plants that produce a lot as i enjoy seeing things grow after all of the hard work of setting up the garden beds and such... I'll probably try some other stuff like maybe watermelon or something, but for now those are the major ones... Not much work, they tend to do it all themselves, just gotta water em'.

Po6 NJ Carry challenge: COUNT I – VIOLATION OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT
It's a job that has to get done, and if you get a fair amount of customers, there is a LOT of money to be made. That said, i would never voluntarily put myself in that situation if i had a better option out there. The only reason i spend time in Newark is because my Father has properties there (Sold two, though, so only one large multi-unit left to maintain and such). Fact is, though, that there is definitely big money in it, if, like i said, you can keep yourself busy. That said, it's also very dangerous. In many other cities you can legally arm yourself, but in NJ you can't do much at all... The thing is, if something DOES happen, the response time is so bad that you'll be dead by the time they show up. UNLESS someone is shot, then they get all happy and come in guns a-blazin'. I've contemplated telling them i thought i saw a guy with a gun every time someone broke in, but dont want to have to deal with filing reports, and potentially being asked to help draw up a sketch or something stupid like that.

So I went and got permits and...
oo thats a cool lookin gun. Let me know when you get it, as well as your address, so i know where to break in next....

Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
I iz adult. Where? It's been up for sale for a little while but other than a few trade offers for AR's and some fairly low cash offers, i haven't really gotten anything too reasonable as far as a cash offer. Buying a Rem 700 like the one mentioned on here and the scope included would cost me quite a little bit more than i'd like. I've also been in the market for one of the entry level Rem 700's in 308 for 6+ months now, and haven't found anything that was more than 100$ under the price i can buy it brand new, and for that little bit of a difference i'll go to D.S.G. and buy one right off the shelf and throw a scope on it. That said, i contacted someone with a slightly higher end Rem 700 (THE most expensive one they make) and he may be interested in a trade. If he is in fact interested i would certainly do that, though.. It's a nice rifle with a pelican case and all. Regarding the beating sense into me, i think my mother tried that once. I think it made me dumber The one i am currently going to try and make a deal with, by the way, is a Rem 700 Target Tactical, the one with the bell stock and the Triangle barrel and what not https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/57585/Remington+700+Tactical+Target+308+Win with a Nikon M-308 scope and what not. Thats probably more of a fair trade, seeing as this rifle retailed for about what mine probably did/does. Any reviews i found said it was a nice rifle, but its no longer around, which makes me worry a little bit, seeing as if it was a good design theyd still be around, right?

Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
To be clear; i want a Rem 700 in 308. What i don't really want is a 1400$+ setup. A cheaper Rem 700 can be had for 600~+a scope, so maybe 900$ or so... brand new from a dealer. I Don't think i need a 1500$ Setup for shooting at paper on occasion. My point was, if its a GOOD deal (trading up), i'd consider it because i can, down the line, if i decide to, sell it and get a cheaper one without losing money (compared to what id get for my M1A). The M1A is cool, but i can get some pretty cool stuff for only a few hundred bucks more (like a tavor, etc) that i will get much more use out of. It's pretty cool to have the M1A sitting in the safe, but i dont have the $$ to buy stuff just for the cool factor, haha. I dont really want any safe queens. Looking at selling My savage 111 in 30-06 and the M1A (and, for the right offer, my ACOG) and will instead buy a (cheaper) Rem 700, most likely, and another rifle, but, i hate selling stuff like this. I don't want to have to ship the rifle, and people around here offer 1k for a practically new M1A with 300$ in extra stuff, when a new M1A standard at a LGS is like 1600$+ with taxes and all.. I understand wanting to get a great deal, but im not going bankrupt.. on the other hand, i dont want to have to wait 2 years to get the right offer. Like i said, im impatient. So, its not that i dont want a Rem 700, im just not sure that that specific model rem 700 is worth what the M1A is. The savage i have is nice, but i want one chambered in 308, and i'll already have plenty of 308 ammo because of the M1A. Plus plenty of aftermarket goodies for the rem700. Also, that specific model Rem 700 is something like 11-1200$ +/- a bit new. Its one of the higher up models. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/41875 http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Remington-Model-700-XCR-Tactical-Long-Range-Centerfire-Rifle&i=780499 The M1A is only like 1300 on buds, versus 1100 and change for this rifle, so its not far off and in theory the scope makes up the price difference... but, like i said, i think the M1A for the most part retains its value, while this Rem700 is more of a niche gun as not a lot of people will drop that much on a bolt gun that is so similar to their 600$ rifles.

Shoot me a PM with what you'd take. Im not even that interested as i already have a stainless SR1911, but, the dealer is going to give you pocket change, and for that much, it can sit in the safe and look pirty.. maybe ill put Green grips on it for my fiance or get it cerakoted a pretty color..

Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
Its a higher end Rem 700. I believe buds had it for 1200$, and the scope retails at like 600$. The M1A, though, at a LGS is like 1600$+OTD, plus over 200$ for that stock new (the one im including has never even been fired with, just fitted), and the extra mags (i believe 4 of the 6 haven't even been used, if you look at the photos only two have scratches from being used.. two are still in stealed bags and two were opened but dont have a scratch on em) and grease and such.. In reality, their values are probably about the same, but i have a feeling that selling a 'high end' rem 700 like that is much harder to do than selling an M1A.

Po6 NJ Carry challenge: COUNT I – VIOLATION OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT
I am not too familiar with the PO6 plan, but i would like to believe that this is their goal. For starters, maybe we can get what the hell 'justifiable need' means put on paper... I'd like to believe that i myself have justifiable need, but apparently unless i have literally already been killed, that is not the case.

Po6 NJ Carry challenge: COUNT I – VIOLATION OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT
I have an idea. I'll stage an abduction and abduct you and 'torture' you for a week, and then a few weeks later you do the same to me. If we can fabricate some long a** list of stuff that's happened to us and then all sue together, we can all get permits! On a serious note, i now wish that every time something happened i called the cops. The problem is, snitches get stitches (lead to the head) in Newark, so if i called every time someone made a threat i'd be on the phone with the Police all the time, and i'd also probably be dead by now. Therefore, while the police WAS called quite a few times to clear the building after a break in and such, i dont think there is much as far as actual records or paperwork proving as such, nor are there incident reports for every time someone said something in my direction. The cops never showed up, let alone bothered doing any paperwork. I can probably call the alarm company and show them how many times people have gotten in and i've had to go resecure and inspect doors, gates, etc. at 3AM, but they don't care.. That judge likes it when i have to do crap like that, as it pays his salary. To him its job security. For me? It means i have to wake up in the middle of the night, walk past my large safe full of legal firearms, and kiss my wife/fiance and daughter goodbye in hopes that ill be back in a few hours. There's nothing i like more than having to do that...

Are You Leaving NJ in the Next 5 Years?
Got room in your trunk for a few more? I completely understand his point. If it gets to the point where the liberals control most of the states and therefore most of the senate, congress, etc., your 'free states' won't mean shit, because they'll have the numbers to just outright ban/regulate firearms and ammunition into nonexistance. So, yes, Arizona will have Conceal carry, but you'll be carrying BB guns. If we at least hold out in the blue/turning-blue states, it'll give us a chance. Red states will stay Red, and at least here in NJ we push hard enough to keep a few Red folks in office.. If enough of us leave, all of the partially blue states become full blue, and the few all red states wont mean much once FEDERAL firearm laws are passed that make NJ look like Nevada. So, in short, we are better off pulling conservatives out of very right leaning states and putting them in states like NJ just enough to tip the scale, than all running to 'free' states, leaving the abandoned states to completely collapse under the weight of all of the libs.. It makes sense, but, it involves sacrificing some freedoms which many of us simply dont want to do. The only way i can really see myself staying in NJ in the long run, seeing as i am young and am looking for a career/to finish college at some point, is if i do well on the upcoming LEE exam and get a job here. Otherwise, as soon as i get a chance to finish school or find a job opportunity elsewhere (or simply dont make enough here to survive), i'm GONE.

SJSC FYI
Then i stand corrected. I don't know how much you can hear from 2 miles away, but i know at Range 14 once you're back on the main road you barely hear anything, unless its the military using the ranges, but that is because they are shooting 50cal machine guns and such. And we're talking about probably not even half a mile.. There will always be people that complain. I've had people bitch at me at home because i closed my car door late at night coming home from work. My parents deal with the township and PD on a regular basis because we have too many cars, or too many unregistered vehicles (snowmobiles on the driveway, which are all registered and insured.. still had to go to court to prove that, though, and pay a lawyer, of course), or a trailer parked in the street, or whatever. That is in East Brunswick. I feel bad for the township because they are for the most part nice people, and as red-necky as my family is, there are still worse people out there... but, when they get a call from a neighbor, they HAVE to go... Doesn't help that i slept with the neighbors daughter for a few months, either.. without them knowing what we were doing... they didn't like her sneaking out to see me...

Got a trade offer for my M1A, Not sure if its a fair trade/worth trading. Rem 700 XCR
Someone offered this a few weeks ago, and still has it available and is open to trade, but i didn't really want such an expensive bolt rifle.. Im getting impatient waiting to sell my rifle just to turn around and buy something else and am contemplating just trading for it or something similar (Nice tactical Rem 700 on there too.. emailed the guy today). What do you guys think? The rifles themselves retail for somewhat similar prices with the M1a being a bit more expensive, but hes including a fairly high end scope while i am only throwing in the stock and extra mags and such worth 300 +/- a bit. It's probably about an even trade, but if im trading i'd like to at least trade up a bit. Let me know what you guys think. I asked if hed throw in some ammo or something but it doesnt seem like hes going to cave in. Sorry for starting all of these threads, im just an impatient millennial with some fairly serious instant gratification issues Also, is that a good rifle? And would it hold its value? I know the M1A can be 30 years old and will still hold its value, because its an M1A and the model has some level of significance/coolness factor to it.. But, a Rem 700 is just another Rem 700, so i'd imagine they take a bigger hit once they're off the rack, right? http://www.armslist.com/posts/5503128/nj-rifles-for-sale-trade--rem-700-xcr-lrt-308-win-

Almeida update
As stupid as it may sound; i can deal with a lot of NJ's BS Firearms laws.... I can still order ammo online and while buying handguns is a PITA, i really don't need, nor can i afford too many so i can deal with it.. The whole not being able to carry when i am in very, very bad areas/situations is a HUGE no-go for me, though. That could make or break whether i move further south in NJ or completely out of the state as soon as i can.
