Hello Gents, new member here. NJ born and raised, and I've been in California for the past 6 years for my work. Talk about out of the frying pan, and into the fire! No but seriously, this is a great time for gun laws, there is a lot of momentum in California right now pushing for shall issue CCW, magazine capacity, and eventually RAW. If we can win in California, we can win the rest of the country. Currently our state capital is SHALL ISSUE! Many counties are now shall issue and several counties are being sued over it including San Diego and Ventura counties. How great is that?!!?!

 

So anyway, last year I came home with my M1A and had a blast at Fort Dix. It was the first time shooting rifles with my Dad and it was great.

 

This year I want to bring my AR15 home with me (the rifle my Dad trained with) and do the same on some steel targets. Now, I've searched around these forums looking for more information and people have said you can shoot steel at Fort Dix as long as its 6' high, it swings, and at the 200 yard line. The thing is, I recall the only range we could use was at 100 yards? I know my Dad is excited to shoot the AR15 and I want to get him off his duff and make a swinging steel target for when I am home, but I wanted to ask first. Any info on this?

 

Also I'm assuming my AR15 will be legally configured for NJ: Stag lower (no mention of AR15), 16" bushmaster HBAR barrel, 10-round magazine, fixed stock and muzzle break. Did I miss anything?

 

Anyone planning on shooting Christmas week?

 

Regards,

Kevin

You can shoot at 200 yards. The rifle range goes out to 200.

Good to hear change is happening for the better in CA.

 

As for the AR, does it have a bayonet lug? If so, that is a no-go. Otherwise, it sounds good.

 

Range 14 @ Dix is 200yds. I've only joined in the last year or so there, but yes, 200 yds. I believe your info about the steel is dead-on.

Great to hear, thank you!

 

And here is some eye candy of my re-worked M1A

Oh that's sexy...

Wow that is nice!!! Love the M14.

Thanks guys

 

Here is 5 shots at 100 yards with 168 Federal Match on the bench

 

And here is the AR15 ill be bringing home for Christmas after I make it NJ legal (stock,brake) and thats a 20-round mag permanently modified to fit 10 rounds

 

 

I'm sure you know this, but the muzzle break has to be permanatley attached (pin and welded, or welded 3/4 way around iirc)
