That's what makes me think it's the drive. Do you have a bootable drive you can swap out to test? Try reseating the drive cable as well.

Sounds that way, but it's not clear what it is doing now. What happens when you power on?

Welcome!

Sorry wasn't meaning to challenge/dispute your post, I was more like shocked by how high they quoted for me. I was looking at Springfield XDMs and a Glock 41.

I stopped in last week. For the pistols I want, they quoted me prices that were roughly $200 higher than what I can get online at Bud's, and $100 higher than a few other local shops.

UPDATE: Got the call Friday morning 10/28/16 that the permits were ready for pickup, that's 2 weeks and 2 days! Hmmm now what to buy ...

I have to completely disagree! I've been going about once a week. Everyone there has always been very friendly and helpful, staff and RO alike, and I also always see a lot of women there. A couple of Sundays ago my 2 oldest step-daughters were home for the weekend, so I took the 3 of them plus my wife. It was the girls' first time shooting. The owner stopped us in the parking lot and asked if he could take their picture and post it on FB. Cute pic!

I am going to try and make it, maybe bring my dad (he lives in Clinton).

Thanks! Got one, so "check"! I had seen something on the Clinton range site about requiring someone in the group with a hunting license, are we covered as a group? #8 shot? 00 buck shot? slugs?

What's needed by shooters to attend?

You can get much more than that. We also donate many bags of clothes each year to Vietnam Vets (I have a wife and 3 step-daughters!). I use TurboTax ItsDeductable to "itemize" each article of clothing and it sets the value of each piece. It adds up pretty fast and it's not unusual for us to get $1000 out of a several bags in the course of a year ...

Nice! Reposted for my friends on Facebook.

When buying shrimp, look for wild caught from the gulf of Mexico, MUCH better flavor than farm raised! ShopRite usually has it. Try this shrimp recipe too, for New Orleans BBQ shrimp, one of my favs. You can find many variations, eat it over rice or grits. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/new-orleans-bbq-shrimp-recipe.html

Magazine Capacity A semi automatic firearm may not have a capacity greater than 15 rounds. A semi automatic shotgun may not have a capacity greater than 6 rounds. You may not ever posses a magazine for a semi automatic firearm that exceeds these limits, not even while modifying them to a legal limit. The magazine must be modified before it reaches your hands. You may also not have a magazine that exceeds NJ legal capacity in the form of a "kit" or disassembled in pieces.

I haven't had a chance to shoot one yet but have done quite a bit of research and have handled them in the shop, and I would agree with this!

About soaking wood ... http://amazingribs.com/tips_and_technique/mythbusting_soaking_wood.html

... and another for SGammo. I've also used Target Sports and Academy.com.

I've had the exact same issue, and exact same remedy, with my S&W M&P 9mm 10 round mags.

I was actually about to order from them for the first time today as they had a great price on something I was looking for, but I bailed on it last moment as I wasn't sure it would ship in time (I need it by next Thursday).

I have an M&P 9mm right now and love it as well, so I am looking at this is an opportunity to have something other than another S&W.

I just put in an application to Lawrence Twp for 3 P2P (I already have my FID). The detective said 2-3 weeks so we'll see what happens ...

I get all of mine from http://www.fruitawood.com/shop.html#!/Wood-Chips-Wood-Chunks-&-Wood-Splits/c/20346062/offset=0&sort=normal and I highly recommend them, quality stuff! The wood sold at the stores tends to be kiln dried and burns up too fast. These guys have perfectly seasoned wood so there's still some moisture within and you get a good proper smoke. Many competition guys go there for their wood. I have a Pit Barrel Cooker.

Great discussion! ... but my OP wasn't asking about the merits of using a .45 in competition, but for those that do like to use one ... what do you shoot?
