I have a 70's era Marlin 60 with an El Paso Weaver 3X7 scope. It sits in the corner of the front porch on sunny days next to the beer fridge. Relaxing on the elevated porch most evenings gives me a quiet vantage point to spot rabbits headed for the garden,squirrels intent on chewing up my...

Colt Gunsite model

I have 2 of the original M&P Sports. One has been mercilessly beat to crap as my truck gun here on the Ranch for the last 3 years. It sports a tough old Aimpoint Comp M2 bought well used. It lives in the crack between the passenger seat and the center console and is never cased and seldom...

Unless they have changed the composition of that R1 buttpad, it tends to deteriorate into an intolerably sticky mess over time -- and I mean MESSY sticky. The process appears to accelerate if the firearm lives in a hot truck during the high summer. Happened to me on both a 7615 Ranch model...

UPDATE: With all manner of paperwork establishing residency in NJ, the authorities allowed her to pick up her new 1911. A bunch of needless kerfuffle for her to exercise a God given right seems to me. Ah well, orders run their course and in a year and a little more she will go somewhere...

I don't think she would agree with that. She did a year there with no family allowed. Tough when you have a 5 yo at home.

The current plan is just that... Copy of orders and a letter from her commander and then they submit the background check once again.

UPDATE My daughter says this: "spoke to a very nice LT at Medford PD this morning. he agrees this is BS and is calling State Police today to get it figured out for me."

Correction to the original post. The status of her background check was not "declined". The status or reason for denying the transfer was "deficient".

Exactly, Most states, including NJ, honor out of state licenses for active military stationed within their boundaries. When I searched the list, oddly enough MT does not. Plus she is hard headed and proud of being a Texan.

I hope this is the right forum........ Please,some insight from someone very familiar with New Jersey gun laws. Being a long time Texas resident, the laws in that state really frustrate me. OK, here is the situation........... My daughter is a Tech Sergeant in the Air Force. She returned...

My brother and I did this same thing over the last two years except with both have kids in their 20s and 30s with their own kids. Our catalyst was the fact none of the kids owned any firearms to speak of and with time running out (perhaps) to buy what we wanted for decent prices, we made the...

I think there should be a distinct division between urban truck gun for you folks that live in the big city and have to strip your truck of valuables each and every day and country folk who have a utility gun in the truck to be used like an every day tool. I have long carried an 870 and a...

You did a nice job of bringin' that old dog back to life. I will trade "tidbits"' with you. Remington makes 2 different OEM mag extensions -a 2 and a 3 shot. Barrel length has *nothing* to do with exterior receiver measurements. Barrel length is measured from the breech face on a closed...

Question on the extra barrel....... An Express model barrel does not have the ball detent on the ring that a Wingmaster does. I do not see a front sight on that short barrel. Has it been cut down? It looks short to me in the pictures. I hope you measured it.
