Have you tried shooting left-handed? Might be fun/interesting for you to learn to shoot that way...

Thanks for sharing. Scammers are everywhere. If an offer looks too good to be true it probably is...

We're sorry, Federal Champion Ammunition 22 Long Rifle High Velocity 40 Grain Lead Round Nose Box of 800 cannot be added to your cart, because it is not available at this time.

It is leaking oil, so the gasket is definitely on its way out. I'm not exactly sure what the code is, but I presume it's related to the gasket leaking. Not sure what you mean about listing the head gasket. I searched Google and this came up: https://www.carparts.com/details/Subaru/Forester/Replacement/Head_Gasket_Set/2004/REPS312507.html?TID=bngpla&origin={adtype}&msclkid=94bf423172ed177a3253226fe270251f&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=CPS - US - Bing - ST - Replacement %2B DriveMotive - PL2 - Head Gasket Set - [HP]&utm_term=4577266909992287&utm_content=CPS - PL2 - Replacement - Head Gasket Set - Margin 40&gclid=94bf423172ed177a3253226fe270251f&gclsrc=3p.ds

Not sure how far back you're looking, but any 1996 through 2004 (non turbo) Subaru with a 2.5 L four cylinder engine will need a head gasket replacement right around 100,000 miles. The naturally aspirated EJ25 engine was used across Subaru’s lineup and can be found in the non-turbo Baja, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, and Outback. Not a matter of "if" in those years with that engine, it's just a matter of when.

Prior to COVID it was a couple of weeks. My neighbor just got his and he said it was about 7 weeks.

Indeed. Unfortunately I think the courts across the nation are moving TOWARDS the NJ permitting process, not away from it. I think it's god that the advocacy groups are keeping the legal fights going, but I'm not optimistic about this one...

I think there are plenty. I know several guys who have a few guns but only shoot once or twice a year who have no idea about any recent (or not so recent) regulations. They pull their guns out, cycle the action a few times to see if it works, shoot at the range, and then put it away until next year.

I dunno. Ten BILLION is a lot of money...

Thanks all for the feedback. My wife's co-worker contacted her and is taking the car. THanks! ---------------------------------------------------------- Looking to sell our 2004 Subaru Forester. It had about 95,000 miles and I'm the 2nd owner. I bought it used from a dealer about 6 years ago when it had 23,000 miles on it. I used it as a commuter at first (Wayne to Secaucus) and then we used it as a 3rd car for the family and my 3 oldest kids learned to drive on it. Since we've had it we had the AC replaced, belts replaced, battery replaced, an oxygen vent replaced, tires and brakes done, and regular oil changes. Otherwise it's a regular Forester. AWD, automatic transmission, a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine. It has all-weather floor mats (front and rear), an all weather mat in the cargo area, and a sliding cover/shade for the cargo area. I also has a modern radio installed with detachable face and USB port. No accidents. Interior needs to be cleaned. No smokers in the vehicle, just teenagers/20-somethings. It still runs well, and likely has a lot of years left in it HOWEVER the check engine light is on and my mechanic tells me that (like most Foresters of that generation) it needs a new head gasket. It won't pass inspection with the engine light on, so this would need to be fixed. It needs new front tires as well. I have another kid who will need something to drive in a few years, so instead of fixing this one up and letting him drive a 20 year old vehicle, we're getting a newer commuter and selling this one. My mechanic said I should put a sign on it for $1,000 and try to sell it locally, but I don't think I have the patience for that. I figured I'd put it up here for a couple of days and see if anyone was interested before calling one of those donations companies that takes it away to auction for a tax deduction. My NJ Gun Forum price is $850. If someone had an AR10, or maybe a .22 precision/match rifle (one of my kids competes with a Jr Rifle club) maybe we'd talk about trading, but that gets complicated, so cash would be best. Thanks for looking!

Thanks!

It's not gun related, but I'm getting rid of my well-used 04 Forester. Runs well but now needs a head gasket, front tires, etc, so I'll be asking less that $1000 for it or maybe trade Is it OK to buy a premier membership and put it up as a WTS/WTT thread?

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully perseverance pays off...

The insanity of NJ gun laws. Only in NJ can a lower receiver magically transform itself from one thing into another in such an absurd way...

This is what I'd do. Take it apart and clean everything then lube it very well and put it back together. I also agree that pulling the charging handle 1/2 or 3/4 isn't an effective test.

If she goes the CCM route make sure that college is her priority. She needs to get absolutely kickass grades in all of her courses in order for it to matter when transferring to a 4 year college. It will also help when she's looking for scholarship money. Even at that point, most schools won't accept all of the credits from CCM, so she'll have to take a heavy courseload (or take summer courses) to compensate if she wants to graduate in 4 years.

Same. I try to avoid politics and religion when interacting with my doctors and dentist. I don't hide my views and I don't ask them to hide theirs, but I'm not seeing them to get their thoughts on things like that. I'm there for their expertise on medicine, so anything else is a distraction.

This. Going through an FFL will be an expensive and time consuming process.

For a small shop they have a decent inventory, and there are a few guys working there who are very nice, but it's definitely NOT a "local" gun shop. Prices are full MSRP (or above) on everything, and their transfer fees are close to $100. With that said, from a business perspective I can understand why they're so expensive/exclusive. They're in reasonable proximity to NYC and they get a MASSIVE amount of traffic from Gun for Hire, so most of the people stopping in have deep pockets and are anxious to buy toys to shoot. I personally can't afford to do business there, but i know plenty of people who regularly do.

Ottomanelli's (attached to Gun For Hire) has always charged $17. If you ask about it they just shrug and tell you to go somewhere else.

Oh I'm sure there's a copy of the form letter on file. The former FBI guy confirmed it. He also confirmed that it doesn't really have any significance as there's no flag for "firearms owner" or anything like that. That's why it went to the moon and back before I talked to anyone. They didn't quite know what to do with it. I'm almost 20 years with the firm so i'm not really worried about it, but I absolutely agree with your sentiment that people would be scared away if they knew they'd have to have a conversation with their boss/leadership about owning guns. Particularly if you're with a smaller or more vocal anti 2A company, it could be a very difficult conversation.

I tried that approach, but instead of calling, my PD sent a form letter (that looked like it had been Xerox copied about 1000 times) to the attention of the "HR Department" at my office mailing address. I work for a global company with over 200,000 employees, so the letter literally made it halfway around the world and up through several layers of leadership while they figured out what to do with it. I eventually got a call from our regional "security Director" who advised me of our firm's policy on NO FIREARMS IN THE WORKPLACE, no violence in the workplace, and the importance of no intimidation or threats of any kind in the workplace. The guy was a former FBI agent who was now making big money in a corporate gig, so after he read the canned statement he laughed and said he was required to go through the motions with me but he was a firearms guy, so we just talked about shotguns for a while. I also got a call from my North America division lead (who I knew quite well) because he was notified. I was a little pissed about that call because he was asking me "why do you need a gun", "aren't you worried about your kids seeing them", etc, etc. It was none of his goddamn business, and there was no friggin reason for him to be involved AT ALL. I played it cool and everything is fine, but I viewed that as the biggest intrusion/inappropriate part of the process.

Looking at the description they seem to be reasonably designed: "J.W.S Dummy Rounds are printed in high visibility yellow high strength PLA for the body with a soft 95A durometer TPU material used for the primer. The color makes them easy to find when ejected and the PLA material is strong so they will last and the soft 95A TPU absorbs the impact of the firing pin." As others have said, keep a cleaning rod handy, but they should be fine...

There's never been a case where anyone was charged for (or had additional charges levied against them) the use of reloaded ammunition. Never. I don't spend any mental energy on this and it doesn't impact how I keep my ammo/magazines in the house.

Screw the flame suit. If you have the money and you want it for your setup, get it. People spend a LOT more money on things that are a lot more useless...
