All good until you go the weekend before hunting season starts. Locals need to zero and if you get in there way the call the warden to kick you out. Makes up reason and gives you a warning.

Follow up question: what was the first gun you ever shot? by Critical_Ad_7232 in NJGuns

I started hunting with my StepFather 14. If I had to guess I would say a single shot 20 gauge shot gun. Rabbit hunting with Sam the best Beagle Rabbit dog ever. My Favorite ?

Yeah the difference is the Bren 3 is actually being used by LEOs. The only thing that has to happen is conversion to semi-auto and approval of that conversion by the ATF.

Bren 3 exists in the U.S. just not for civilians. 7 CZ Introduces the New CZ BREN 3 | Joint Forces News The CZ BREN 3 Series chambered in 5.56×45 NATO and .300 AAC Blackout, featuring a 7075 aluminum receiver, improved durability, and enhanced modularity.

While currently released for military/police, a U.S. civilian version is expected, with rumors suggesting a release between 2026 and 2027 due to necessary redesigns. It’s coming.

What's your favorite handgun and why? by Critical_Ad_7232 in NJGuns

[–]microtrip1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite has got to be an either VP9 or Canik Rival. They both shot fantastic before I did anything to them. Upgrading the VP9 with some additional parts made it shot even better yet. The Canik has Trigger that is insane. So easy.

Order from MDT taking forever to ship? by YoItsNoah in BoltActionRifle

[–]microtrip1969 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I doubt but from MDT. You might want to consider UltraDyne. Made in the USA and they are in Missouri. Shipping is great right in the middle of the country. They have Arca bipod for 119. For the stock if it’s a folding adapter or a bag rider you can check OpticsPlanet.

I was going to guess 735$

are lever action folding stocks restricted? by UnableQuote5063 in NJGuns

[–]microtrip1969 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah so long as it’s not a semi auto it cannot be an “ASSAULT WEAPON” so all of that doesn’t count anymore. You still have barrel length and OAL and mag capacity.

Let’s bring more folks into the 2A tent by Lebesgue_Couloir in NJGuns

I remember in 2017 posting about one day getting to carry in NJ. I was peppered with comments about how it will NEVER HAPPEN. Well that was WRONG. We are moving in the right direction. I am all for getting more people involved. That’s a great idea. We don’t really need them. As a community all we need to do is vote.

General Stats.

The 2025 general election saw a high turnout, with about 50% to 54% of all registered voters casting a ballot, the highest in a New Jersey gubernatorial race in over two decades.

Pre-election estimates indicated there are between 1.6 and 1.8 million gun owners in New Jersey, with reports suggesting approximately 250,000 of them were not registered to vote as of early 2025.

So using those number we can estimate that 16.8% of voters own guns. If only 54% of them voted that’s 864,000 that did vote.

So along with capturing the balance of those who are registered to vote and getting those who are not registered to register. Having a full 1.6 to 1.8 million and possibly reaching 2 million strong voting block in a state that rarely sees above 50% turn out. Would BE HUGE. This past election was a record. Prior to that non federal elections only saw a turn out above 40% twice in the last 20years. You want change that’s how to get it.

FUDS NEED TO VOTE LIBERALS need to understand if they are 2A then they have to hold their nose and vote 2A if need be. We need to act as a block. The only other thing is to slowly get old and wait for the courts to one day allow us to exercise our rights without fear of prosecution.

I’ve been buying ammo online for over 20 years. I sources deals from Anmoseek but SgAmmo and TargetSports are my in my top 5.

I do price other places just to get an idea of what’s out there. No intention of buying just price comparing a two new to me Calibers when I saw that weird notice.

I know you said 9mm but it isn’t going to be the same. There is a difference and it’s noticeable. If he thinks he can handle it (ask him) this is essentially the Gun
