Howdy everyone, My name is Matthew, but both on the New Jersey airsoft forums, and amongst my friends, I'm called Kaiser. Partially because of my love of Germany, especially their arms, and also because my German Grandfather wanted my name to be Wilhelm.

 

Anyway, I'm an enthusiastic 19 year old shooter, who has learned the basics on airsoft guns, but since I have recently gotten my Firearms ID, I'm getting into target shooting, and maybe hunting down the road.

 

I currently only have a Savage MkII, but I am looking for a good used semiautomatic rifle in a higher caliber.

 

Well, glad to be a part of the community, hope to see you at the range sometime soon, and any advice, or other knowledge would be very helpful.

Willkommen!

Yeah, back when I was 13 I had started to save for a luger when I was 18, but then I found out that the age was 21, the money ended up being stolen unfortunately.

Yeah, I love the 8mm K98, and I really want one, but Since Berdan primers are corrosive, I hesitate to buy one until I get used to cleaning stuff pretty well. I mean with my .22, I wasn't sure if I was cleaning it right, I used the hoppes #9 kit, but since most of my family is anti-gun, and I'm the first to get one, I haven't really had anyone to show me.

 

If you like that, there are two books that are good to read. "The Arms of Krupp" Is an interesting book on the Krupp family, who invented the steel barreled, breech loading cannon, and how integral they were to the rise of Prussia, German unification, and the rearmament of Weimar/Nazi Germany. The other is "The Wages of Destruction" Which can be a bit boring, but it's pretty interesting to see how they paid for rearmament so quickly, and how they almost got into several wars before WWII by pissing off the US, England, and France by defaulting on loans and stuff.

Cool, then hopefully you can help me find a good range in this area. I want a rifle range, I saw SJ shooting club, but $240 is hard for me to pay all at once.

We have a store that used to be owned by Quakers, and the next town over Was the summer home of Walt Whitman. To be honest, nothing makes Stratford famous. I was just making fun of my town lol.
