Well after waiting a while to get my fic... i finally bought my first gun... 12 gauge savage arms model 350 home defense pump shotgun.. its literally what i wanted and i got it for way under msrp.....

 

i was in the gun shop and i love the kimber 45's but they are very pricey and ill probably get the ultra carry II if i can find it for a good price...

Grats on the first (and hopefully not last) purchase!

congrats.

 

Personally, stay away from the new Kimbers. QC = blah.

 

Older kimbers, yum. Dont be afraid to pick up a used gun.

It's an awesome feeling isn't it? I bought my first gun within 4 hours of getting my FID. I picked up a Savage MKII .22LR.

Congrats! Now go blow something up on the range with your new scattergun.

its like cars... im addicted lol... i own 5 cars so i need to own at least 5 guns.... i was told the wait on the kimbers is 6 months cause of the demand and on top of that the custom handguns is minimum of a year wait ...

Kimbers, bleh. Why wait 6 months for something worse than something you can get so much faster?

Now you must buy a .22

Nice. I personally like blackpowder, they're pretty cool, but I'd be scared when the flint strikes, and nothing happens lol. .22s are nice, there are some cool ones for sale in the marketplace that I saw. If I wasn't in the market for an AR, or SKS, or something, I'd pick up another .22.

well just got the shotgun back from my local gunsmith tonight after bringing it last night... he tweaked it up and fixed it for me.. he showed me a gorgeous over/under 12 gauge browning with gold trigger... it was like a work of art.. said it was valued at 2500... showed me a bunch of other 6-7 thousand doller guns of which i had really no idea of what i was looking at but i know they looked like fine pieces of art... he let me watch yesterday until he closed shop and basically taught me how to take apart my shotgun... and described the pieces and what they do/how they work... very very informative and i told him i appreciate all of it being i am new into this sport... just bought a brand new top of the line super expensive gun safe and now im looking to fill it up....

First off, Congratulations on the new Shotty.

 

I still think we need pics but I have to ask, what shop did you get this from?

What type of rifles are you interested in? I bought a Savage mkII (.22LR) for plinking, and I'm satisfied with it, I've also heard that the Ruger 10/22 is really good.

 

Of course, if you have the money, ARs, and M1As are pretty sweet. Though I know myself, I love anything that's similar to the bolt action K98, I own a VZ24, and it's pretty nice.

 

Of course, I've always liked rifles the most. Shooting my brother in law's 9mm was fun, but there's nothing like a rifle. Though I guess I've never tried a shotgun before.

just got back from cabelas.... bought a mosin 7.62 rifle and a bunch of ammo.... 2 hours in line waiting for a background check.... cant wait to go back.. def. need 8 hours to see the whole store lol

At least after all that time you came home with something cool. Last time I went to Cabela's I came home with some beer mugs.

How much for the Mosin?

I went to Cabela's on Saturday and all I got was a couple pairs of ear protection, some snap caps, and a few bruises from the insane crowd that was there. Going there on a weekend during the holiday season = bad idea. I was pretty disappointed in the selection on the used gun rack. Usually they have at least 5-10 guns that I would consider good to great deals, but when I went, there were less than 5 guns selling for less than $400, and all of them were obviously really old and beaten up. The only thing I considered buying was a Marlin 60 in great condition for $150. But it was so damn crowded, it would have taken 3 hours to get my number called, fill out the paperwork, get my NICS called in, and pay for it. The crowd was insane.

99 dollers.... and its one of the "good ones" the 2 guys behind the counter told me... 1942 year... and a lot of brass or something....

 

i didnt want to go home empty handed from a gun store.. needed to get something...... went last night with my girlfriend and same thing i came home with a remington 870 express field version.... its like getting hyped up to bang a gorgeous girl... rushing to the store to get the condoms to getting home and "shes got the rag"..... i dont like being in those situations lol

both times it took me 2 hours.. and the crowds were not big at all.... i looked at the used gun rack and they seem to be overpriced... there are some nice used guns in the gun room with the cases.... after i get my 3 pisols im probably going to get a nice browning centuri or something in that range

Don't write off Ramsey Outdoor in Ramsey (not the Paramus store) for your purchase. I've had pretty good luck with them. I've dealt with Ron a bit. Joe is great as well. Good luck with your purchase.

havent been there yet ill check it out next week

People may argue with me but I found the New Jersey Firearms Guild in Rahway to be top notch. Check them out they have a great selection. I dealt with a guy named joe who made buying my first handgun an absolute pleasure. He walked me through a bunch of guns and explained everything to me. He took the time to show me how to field strip it and reassemble. I had my PP but was still "shopping around". I left that day with the gun because of the service I received. I probably could've even gotten the XD9 a little cheaper but it was worth the extra for customer service like that. My last experience at Meltzer's was just that...my LAST experience. I won't hijack your thread with a long story I just find one of the guys there to be extremely rude. The older guy with the shaggy white hair and glasses is a great guy though. And their price on XM193 was almost insulting (PSA has it for HALF what they're selling it for)

**** i was just down in that area today and i stopped at a speed shop in linden... i would gladly pay more for the extra service.... i think i know who your talking about at meltzers....i dealt with a older guy cant remember his name but he walked me through it... explained me the differences in shotguns etc etc sort of like what that guy did for you... his shift was over and he still was helping me and gave the sale to another guy (not sure if they get commission) i tried giving him 10 bucks for the knowledge saying i appreciate it and to get lunch on me tomorrow and he wouldnt except it... just said thats my job... so theres always good apples and bad apples in the bunch... they are alittle pricey on some stuff... but i got a nice gun there 75 under msrp...

Kimbers, bleh. Why wait 6 months for something worse than something you can get so much faster?

I dont understand the Kimber hate. Kimber is the largest producer and X number of any amount will have issues.

So maybe thats where it comes from. I bought a Kimber pro raptor about a year or so ago. I have near 1000 rds through it with no problems at all. I would trust my life to it if I had to.It's a darn good shooter and a darn good looker as well. Try one you wont regret it.

+1 on Kimber. Great guns, and yes I mean the new ones too.

Pics of the shotgun, and range report please.

Same thing happened to me when I was up there. Picked up an EAA PAP AK variant on sale for $349. It was the only semi auto that they would show me since I was from NJ. It had a huge "COMPLIANT" flag hanging from the barrel!
