- Save some old boxes from factory loads - Put your reloads into them when you go to the range - Don't ask, don't tell

I'm in a similar position with rifle primers. I picked up a good supply of large rifle primers before things went crazy, but I'm almost out of small rifle.

Crazy times. I want to shoot another 3gun match so I'm picking up a 500 round box of .223 ball ammo for $300!!! I reload, but I my daughter uses the .223 when we do long range shooting, so I don't want to exhaust my supply of handloads. Same place had 9mm ball ammo for $30 for a box of 50 with a 4 box limit.

You're describing a basic field strip and (proper) cleaning, so if that's done every time you shoot the gun then the need for a "deep clean" is greatly reduced. If you're shooting a couple hundred rounds through a clean gun, and then cleaning it when you get home from the range, you should be good for a very long time. One thing to watch for is using too much oil and/or solvents. If you lather the gun with cleaners and oils there's a chance they could build up over time, so less is more. I use compressed air after I clean things to make sure that I don't leave any gunk behind.

Grewald comes off as an arrogant, uninformed asshole. Good to see things coming back around at him.

A year ago it would have been a simple question, but today it's impossible to ignore the current state of guns and ammo prices/availability. The reality is that there are people who look to take advantage of situations like this and profit from it. Whether it's "right" or "wrong" is totally subjective. If you have something somebody else wants and you both come to an agreement on the price, why should either of you be concerned with what others think?

Tough love: How the hell could you NOT know that you had to wait 30 days between pistol purchases?? That part of the law isn't new. You're a gun owner so you have to know the gun laws. Ignorance is never an excuse.

Good price for a great rifle. What's the barrel length?

Once bitten, twice (or three, four, five, six...) shy. It's understandable. I think we all look at these things the same. Ever optimistic, but not really expecting much...

Was just about to post this. Thanks. "What does this mean for New Jersey? While the decision does not directly affect New Jersey's magazine ban, we do think it has potential to influence the upcoming decision in ANJRPC's own challenge to NJ's very similar magazine ban. We are currently awaiting a decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in that case. Today we brought the Duncan decision to the attention of the panel of Judges deciding our case. All of the reasoning in the Duncan decision applies equally to our case, and we are urging the Third Circuit to follow the example of the Ninth Circuit and rule the same way in our case. "

I have a small second house by the shore and I CONSTANTLY get calls about it. I don't have a mailbox or landline at the house so I have no idea how they get my contact information in North Jersey. Maybe they blindly go through tax records?

You can get a Lee lube/size kit for $20. "Lee Precision Lube and Sizing Kit. With some careful shopping you can find these kits for around $15. The sizing portion of the kit is made up of a sizing die that swages the bullet down to the specified diameter, a ram to push the bullet through the sizing die, and a plastic case to catch the sized bullets. The lubing portion of the kit is a bottle of Lee’s liquid Alox lube. This kit is cheap, simple, and it really works. Lee recommends that you use it with bullets cast from the company’s “Tumble Lube” molds. These bullets have a series of small lube grooves rather than the one or two lube grooves on conventional bullets. These micro-bands hold the Alox better. But you can use the system with conventional bullets, and you can even use it with conventional lubes, rather than the liquid Alox. Proper Lube To tumble lube, you need two plastic bowls. You squirt a little lube onto the bullets and then you toss them from bowl to bowl until they are coated with a thin film of Alox. Using the kit is pretty straightforward. You’ll need a couple of Tupperware bowls. Pour a hundred or so bullets into a bowl and squirt in some liquid Alox. A little goes a long way. Then just pour the bullets from one bowl to the other until they are all coated with a thin film of Alox. At that point I’ll add another 100 bullets to the mix, and toss those awhile before adding a final hundred. I’ve found that three hundred 230-grain slugs equals about 10 pounds of lead, and that is as much as I can comfortably toss from bowl to bowl. They don’t call it “liquid” Alox for nothing. When you’re through tossing them, the bullets will be wet to the touch. They have to be spread out on foil or waxed paper to dry overnight before you can size them." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rhQAzV4KeDs

If it has a serial number, you get a purchase permit, and get the transaction done through an FFL i don't wee why not.

Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks for sharing. Looks like they were screaming out of the carbine.

"The attorney general’s office said it was investigating because the man was discovered dead by the officers and his death “may have occurred while law enforcement officers were at the residence executing a search warrant.” That's the part that makes the story a little more interesting.

Brilliant planning right there. What could possibly go wrong?

All the replies indicate that brass is preferred. What specifically is attracting you to nickle-plated brass?

Looks like my town switched over to the online process as of March 1, so we're no longer filling out the old-school paper copies.

Last time I got permits (4 months ago) my town was still on paper forms so all I needed wa name, address, and phone for my references (no e-mail). The only time my employer was contacted was for my initial FID years ago.

That's 40 cents per round. In normal times you'd probably pay 18 cents per round. It's not great ammo.

Honestly you should still look to stock up when you can. Primers are the thing now that I can't get hold of, but when they pop up I'll grab some.

Yeah, local contacts are going to be the way to go for a while. All of the online retailers have been totally out of small pistol and small rifle primers for a while...

"It is Illegal to carry a loaded shotgun or rifle in any vehicle." "It is ALWAYS Illegal to carry a loaded shotgun or rifle in any vehicle!" The only difference between what OP posted and what you posted is the word "ALWAYS". Nobody is arguing differently or making any contradictory statements.

I'm not an attorney , but it sounds like you're trying to slice and interpret the gun laws in a way that allow you a free pass if you got caught holding/carrying a gun somewhere other than YOUR property/business/home. Don't do it. It's not there. If you're staying with a friend or relative for a week, don't bring your gun. Think "point A to point B".
