Welcome! I lived and shot in NJ for 40 years before moving out at long last. Most of the good gunshops are gone there now, Rays, Leslie Edelmans, etc. But there are a few places still around. I think I still hold my Old Bridge range card someplace, and used to compete at Shongum, Hopatcong, and...

"I only thought of it because D'Arcy's $15,000 rifles often have that feature since they commonly go to Africa on expensive hunts." A lot of things are done on "best quality" firearms because it can be done (and charged for), rather than because it actually adds any improvement to...

"I sympathize. Nearest I've found BP is 150 miles away other side of San Antonio. I ain't making the trip just for that. I also ain't buying bulk and I ain't paying a hazmat fee. I shoot pyrodex, but I don't have a flinter. THIS is part of the reason. Flinters won't light without BP. The...

^^ Same exact technique but with rubbing alcohol does the same exact thing in about 15 minutes. Willie .

"There are a certain percentage of officers who let their authority go to their heads. I believe that is a very small percentage" And apparently that certain small percentage is far greater than the certain percentage of CCW holders who exhibit malfeasance resulting in CCW revocations...

Use the real stuff... it's available, so get it. NONE of the substitutes are as good. None... Willie .

The choke should be in millimeters of constriction stamped on the watertable. The pics seem cropped out and don't show all of the markings, so go and look for more numbers there. It's a nice example of a postwar (post-Suhl era)) Sauer, and is worth much more than you paid for it. I would have...

...Of the Romans, it was said "Their drills were bloodless battles, and their battles were bloody drills". This should be taken to heart. Of *course* there are unwinnable scenarios. A guy with a high power rifle 100 yards away from you is one. After that it's all a calculus of possibilities...

^^ The option in NJ is acceptance into a pretrial intervention program. That's what happened to the unfortunate woman arrested after crossing into NJ with the Pennsylvania CCW that she (dumbly) thought was good in NJ. It'll likely be the outcome here as well, based on the way things generally...

The SKS is what it is: One of thw worlds classic military carbines. Love it for what it is, and live with it. It's not a target rifle, it's not an AK-47, and it's not an aesthetic beauty. It happens to be one of the most significant rifle designs of all time, from number produced and arenas...

...in the housing and to give the impression that you are looking at a true full auto receiver. Note that these modifications are done to the *housing*, not the actual trigger pack proper. The full auto trigger packs themselves need to have a small portion removed so as to fit the shelf in...

...insured and the other is a beat up 20 year pickup."' Because you have absolutely no idea what the person who's holding you at weapons-point *really* wants, and if you're smart, you'll either escape or crush him to the ground like a cockroach. You cannot take chances when confronted like...

Soak in ATF for a while. Overnight would be best. Use a Propane Torch to heat it up. Don't be shy about the heat. Heat 'er up like you mean it. The hotter the better. You're not going to hurt a thing with a propane torch. Apply torque to loosen it. Willie .

...stick to that mindset in the real world. What you were trained to do is to cooperate with your assassin. The correct response is ABSOLUTELY to *leave*, using the space that you've already wisely left yourself, and absolutely not to follow his instructions. If you've not left so space to...

"One scenario involved us pulling up to a stop sign in our vehicles while a pedestrian crossed the road in front of us. When the pedestrian turned out to be a car jacker no one was able to get to their firearm and return fire before they were hit." ^^ Take this from someone who worked in...

"youll have to remember that any degredation of the shorts or subsonic ammunition will be increased by using it in the longer chamber, and in the revolver period." Noting that this is one of the variables taken fully into account by the makers, further noting that from practical...

Suggest Mods move this to Black Powder, as many of the guys there knowlagable about these swaps (yes they work) and can advise. Willie .

"They are entirely "in spec" if they meet the blueprint, but even a .005" variance one from another will result in a .010" misfit in then pin holes. And there you are, tapping the pin with a deadblow mallet the first 50 times you take it apart." Which is what reamers are for... or a little...

^^ Many gun shops, actually, people still want guns. Not as many as 20 years ago but the ones that are open are all busy. The state process to buy firearms is convoluted, but in NJ gun enthusiasts just seem to deal with it. handgun permit rationing (one every 30 days maximim, but actually since...

"The colonists of New Jersey would NEVER have put up with this garbage in the 1750s" Actually, they likely would have. New Jersey was a center of loyalist and tory sentiment, and was governed by the very pro-British son of Ben Franklin, from whom he was estranged. New Jersey had many...
