Prices goin' up?
^haha. I bought enough for a while, but i regret not buying more when freedom had a sale and i bought reloaded .223 for 25.2 cents a round including shipping. Tight budget and i spent like 1000$ that day just on ammo, but its been a month or 2 and i have enough to buy more... but i wont be paying crazy prices.

Prices goin' up?
I have enough ammo for at least a year. No big deal for me, but figured id pick up extra seeing as it may take longer (or forever) for prices to get back to normal.SGAmmo inventory is a fraction of what it used to be. Not sure if you ever kept an eye out on their stock, but wolf gold only 8 cases left... prices went up a bit, not crazy, but it happened across the board.. even freedommunitions went up like 5% on their new and reman ammo i was looking at. They are also out of stock on a lot. Wolf poly, IMI, etc..

Trading for an M1A today (hopefully)
Bought an archangel stock for the m1a... what a waste, ridiculously heavy and fitment is horrible. After spending 2 hours shaving plastic off as per instrucions, the trigger guard still wont lock in place. It clamps on, but doesnt click in so a slight pull takes apart the whole gun... may be returning it to the ebay seller, i am really disappointed in this crap.

Prices goin' up?
The issue is that it spirals out of control. Everyone EXPECTS a panic, which causes a panic.. Hell, look at me; i'm 5 seconds away from buying an AR i can't afford in case i can't buy one any more in the future, and ordering ammo i don't need in anticipation of it not being available. Unfortunately, i'm not the only one, so it becomes a matter of buying it before everyone else does so.

Prices goin' up?
I disagree. If anything it will be worse. SGammo has sold out on literally all but wolf, pmc, and cheapo steel case for the most part.. and even that they are fairly low on. They normally had like 50+ available, last i checked they were at a dozen or so. Prices are going to skyrocket again IMO. If i find normal priced ammo im going to buy a few thousand more rounds to be safe.. i only have like 800 45, 1k 9mm, 1200 or so .22, 180ish 30-06, 450-475 308 and like 2750 .223 saved up, i believe

Bayonne PD sitting on permits
Call. Daily. Can go one of two ways (piss em off so they hurry, or slow them down). In my experience, they rushed to get it done so i would stop.. haha

Prices goin' up?
Indeed. When stuff like this happens, people pile up on top of one another to get what is left in stock. Even freedommunitions hiked up their prices quite a bit. I have enough for myself for a little while; and i can hardly afford to shoot as is, i certainly won't do so when ammo is .50 cents a round; i'd rather sell my ammo at that point.
-
Prices goin' up?
Anyone else notice the prices of stuff going up ALREADY? Got an email from SGAMMO about their being a 1 week delay on shipments as of right now (normally next day shipping).. Went to order some cheapo wolf gold or something, and wolf gold/PMC both went up 10-20$/k.. I'm having flashbacks Anyone notice anything else increasing lately? I'm going to try and snag a good deal on some more ammo and stock up a few k more rounds..

Gun storage in a garage?
If you have the know how/knowledge, you can wend up additional bracing for the door and track system. You wont be able to make it strong enough to withstand a cars impact, though. The design is just too prone to that, the tracks in any system i have seen would come right out of the wall. You can certainly make it harder, though. Just make sure you have a powerful enough motor.

What do you guys do with your "Cable Gun Locks"
SHHHHHH. Id love to leave it as bait at work in Newark when the new one gets here and watch people trying to break into it when you can just yank on the handle.. hahaha I used em a few times when i first got my fid to transport, then realized i dont need to if the case is locked and havent since.

Cool beer tap

Best Home Training Ideas for Beginner/Pistol Shooter?
Airsoft guns (the higher end handguns) are fairly accurate. I held better groups with my 6mm (LOL) WE single stack 1911 than i do with my Ruger SR1911... Ask my mother, her flower pots are still full of holes from years ago, and i kept shooting out her solar lamps in the backyard... I think my brother still has it, actually. I Should get it back from him to practice. Thing is, practicing with an airsoft gun or anything other than the real thing with real bullets is fairly pointless IMO, other than for staying steady when pulling a trigger. You can be a PRO with an airsoft gun, as i was, but when you shoot the real thing, there is recoil.... with my .45, Lots of it... Not so hard to dump a whole mag in a 6" group at 40+ feet with my airsoft gun. With the real thing? Ha, i wish.

What do you guys do with your "Cable Gun Locks"
I use em on my m1a. The bag for it doesnt lock, and thats the next best thing i suppose. Or if im leaving town for a while i put em on all my rifles just to piss off a thief that manages to get into the safe lol

Trading for an M1A today (hopefully)
My range only goes out to 200 yards, which is where i'll be shooting it, so unfortunately 'long range' is basically out of the question, but anyhow, the idea behind the stock like the archngel was because of my being a fairly small guy, and the M1A being way too long for me to get a proper grip on. With something like the Archangel i can throw a bipod on it and the design allows me to get a better hold on the rifle. Then, all i need is a scope mount and sight on the thing and i am good to go. Fixed stocks SUCK for those of us under the Average height.

Gun storage in a garage?
I Wouldn't suggest it. Avoid it if at all possible. While they won't rust overnight, i'd imagine the level of humidity in the air on some day's is more than enough to cause surface rust, even to your safe. If possible, maybe you can put it in your basement (if you have one) and put a good dehumidifier down there? I would personally even avoid basements, as even those tend to be fairly humid if not properly sealed, but if yours is good you could put it down there with a dehumidifier and just stay on top of keeping it empty. Garage would be a 100% No-go for me, though. The changing temps and the humidity would also affect the life span of your ammunition, i would think, as well. If there was a way to seal the safe and put a dehumidifier in there i'd consider it, but then your safe is still going to take the hit. Most day's aren't bad, but some mornings, at least here in East Brunswick and Woodbridge, its disgustingly humid. This of course all changes if you have a fancy climate controlled garage, but i'm assuming you, like most, don't.

Yes, another post by me; this one about GUN SAFES
There are sites like govdeals, but the prices on cool stuff are nuts. Anyone know what brands have back up keys for electronic safes? My stack on had it and id hate to go without it, as the electronic pads are notoriously crappy.

^LMAO, thing was probably some 0 gauge steel or something insane. Its funny how quickly safes get ridiculously heavy. When i got this one i was like Oh it can't be that heavy! Sure enough almost crapped my pants trying to move it.

On SOME models. The stack ons i saw that dont have one still seem to have the same sized shelves, i think. Could be a slight difference, i probably wouldn't notice. As for dogs, can't have em where i live. Sucks, but on the other hand my place is too small and i don't have a big enough yard. I'd go nuts having to walk the dog multiple times a day... Don't have the time for that crap.

Yes, another post by me; this one about GUN SAFES
I considered it but a mobile home in a park with a bunch of outdoor security cameras is a bit shady. Im fairly sure it would draw attention and curiosity, and if anything itd make my home a bigger target. Theyd also probably think i was cookin' something, and i dont mean dinnet. Im going to have to find something soon and order it, in the meantime ill delay the trucking company as much as possible. I like the centurion but then i have no space for my handguns; this one has a nice door organizer. Seems like prices have gone up, too, so my 600 bucks wont get me much, now.

Trading for an M1A today (hopefully)
Axeman, i just messed up the wording. I basically just want a tacticool stock and scope mount on it. Not the original SA scout stock but one of the many 'aftermarket' ones available that look more like the ones found on Modern rifles. Id like an adjustable stock to help me get comfortable as well as a bipod on the front end. Another very helpful member pointed out that the scout setups on these place the sight WAY up there so ive been keeping an eye out for the other kind... forgot the name again, but its the one that mounts it above i guess its the ejection port thingiemajigie. I think you get the idea. Not the type of rail that comes from the SA factory, and i wont have like 2' of eye relief haha.

Yes, another post by me; this one about GUN SAFES
Yeah i'll probably end up getting a cannon or something like that. Seems like thats all there really is at/under a grand. The Liberty safes are nice but the lower end ones don't seem to be the greatest and the price jumps from 700$ to nearly twice that to upgrade to the slightly higher end units. Might end up getting stuck with another rebranded Stack on or Buffalo or Cannon or something. Think i might see if they could still just replace this one for me and i'll just get a bigger/better safe for firearms when i move, and just use this one as an Ammo safe (i'll remove the partition and what not and just put shelves in it for valuables and ammo and stuff) in my future garage or basement or whatever. Also, my safe IS bolted to the ground. Or, well, i put two Lag's into the floor. Not Optimal, but just further delaying the inevitable. Unfortunately, the way my home is i have no access to the underneath because its covered with this thick plastic stuff that is full of insulation to protect the pipes and what not under the home, otherwise i'd weld up a custom plate that would really make it impossible to remove without climbing under the home to unbolt the safe. Hopefully i'll move out of here and to a bigger place sooner rather than later. I contemplated bolting it to the wall as well. Might do so this time around.

Grand Jury recomends criminal charges against PA AG
It hasn't been "we" for a long time, haha. "They" being the politicians/corrupt government. If joe shmoe the plumber or Private John Doe with secret clearance had a private server used to communicate with family and such was sharing otherwise classified/whatever information, we'd never hear about this and the guy would be rotting in some prison we don't hear about. The fact that Politicians are held to LOWER standards than your average Joe is very discouraging; it should be quite the opposite. It sucks because i'm young, so i have 50+ years of a corrupt freakin' system to deal with. The older folks on here are lucky. Worst thing they might deal with is a 10rd limit in the next few years. There is a fairly good chance that by the time i'm back in diapers i'll be A) dead from the impending world war or some virus that came from Mexico, and B) Completely disarmed; hell, even sharp knives will be banned. Airsoft guns are technically legal firearms in NJ, if one were to look at what classifies firearms as firearms. Maybe i'll pick up one of those strobe flashlights they are advertising on TV as a home defense item. Because when someone is pointing a gun at me, i'll draw my flashlight and FLASHLIGHT THEM TO DEATH!

Permit Extension Problems (!) and Question
^exactly. I'd go to the higher ups and tell them to do the math.. Hell, write a letter to the chief. Tell em, you can keep applying for a SINGLE permit every time one expires, just because you can- i mean, hey, you DO pay your taxes, otherwise they'd be very quick to say somethin'- or they can just not be a PITA and renew the damn thing. I'm a firm believer in that both sides can play games. Sure, they can keep refusing to extend.. You'll just keep paying em 2$ to waste their time. Most Departments in NJ pay fairly well, and it costs them MUCH more than the 2$ they charge to actually do all of the paperwork.
