Was Idiot Ammo Pricing in effect yet?
Looking forward to the 1000 table Eagle Arms one in Oaks coming up in May.
Have you tried Gunbroker? http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=springfield+TRP seems to have a few results, not sure if any will be good prices though.
Well I'm a gun owner now. I bought a Gen 3 Glock 17 from Sportsman's Warehouse. $499. I was going to find a used one but decided to just get new one. Same price from what I could find. I almost bought a used Springfield XD .45 Tactical from Scheels for $469 but after seeing how much .45 ammo was compared to 9mm I went with 9mm. This gun is basically for target practice anyway. I'm hoping to get a .45 in the future though. Yay. Can't wait to shoot it tomorrow.
Wow that sucks. Here in Iowa I just had to fill out a form and pay $10 at the Sheriffs office. I had got my permit to purchase in the mail about 3 days later.

Yeah NJ is on some crazy shit. The rules are also nuts when it comes to what you can and can't buy. No clips larger than 15, no shotguns or rifles with pistol grips or folding or telescoping stock.
I'll keep an eye on that site. Unfortunately they todont have the exact one I want for auction ATM.

I picked up a Ruger SR22 Pistol yesterday. I was tired of spending so much money on 40S&W for my Glock.
Only had time to shoot about 130 rounds, but it shoots awesome. Had no problems. Picked up for $316 at a local gun store.

If you don't mind me asking, how and where did you get the Tavor? How much would a civilian version normally go for? I love the Tavor but can't find much info on a civillian version other than that Barrett was making them for a while.

Actually, it's extremely easy. Kimbers are not very good.

We have had them in Canada for well over 4 years now. They go for about $2700 up here, so by the time they hit US retailers later this year, they should be about $1700 for you.
Because of US policy, your Tavors will have a percentage of US made parts in them. The Canadian versions are manufactured solely in Israel.
Our rifles tend to retail much higher in price than in the US.

Tavor showed up today.
Initial impressions:
Much heavier than it looks. I am not used to bullpup designs, so it is going to take some getting used to. Rifle is extremely well made and looks bad-ass. I should have a range report sometime next week.

You can get green as fairly common I believe

In order of cheapness: Red, Green, other
Your going to pay a lot more for a purple or blue laser, and then it won't look as bright as the equivalent powered green as the human eye sees green best

No such thing as a white laser, remember white is what you see when all the colors are there at once
Lasers for guns are for utility first, as such cheap red and bright green are pretty much the entire market for them
You can buy a normal handheld amber laser, but if you want a sky blue smiley face laser pattern specifically for your gun you're going to be looking for a long time
Yellow/amber lasers are kind exotic and expensive even in larger form factors, and you can only make a white(ish) laser by combining red, green, and blue ones. So no.
Just paid for a New Frontier Polymer upper today so I'll be picking it up in 10 days. It's very lightweight, in fact all the weight in the buffer tube and stock. As for upper receivers I haven't decided yet. Might go for a .22LR upper for now and save up money for a gas piston upper later on.
Looks like this:

Looks like this:
.22 AR uppers cost as much as .223/5.56 uppers. You'll be saving a ton on ammo though. I was thinking about a .22 upper. It was $400 shipped. Said f it and bought a 10/22 instead.
Really? I was looking at CMMG .22LR upper and they start at 350.
Whereas most regular .223 uppers seem to go for above 500 and thats with no frills plain jane ones.

Getting one ASAP myself. Amazing gun.
I'm gonna buy a Ruger 10-22 take down its gonna be my first gun! I did watch hicock45 video and it got me all excited.
I live in California so no BX-25 clip for me
Not saying you should buy it from here http://www.calegalmags.com/ but as long as you only use it as parts to repair a current legal 10 round mag or only use it out of state you are fine.
I got a Ruger 10/22 recently too the only reason I didn't get the takedown model was because I probably couldn't buy those aftermarket stocks for it.
Nice, I love the older model Jerichos with the frame mounted safety, the slide mounted safety does my head in a bit.

Either I made up lies about the Boston Bomber or I fell for someone else's crap. Either way, I have absolutely no credibility and you should never pay any attention to anything I say, no matter what the context. Perm me if I claim to be an insider

Oh wow.
I assumed it would have to use E-Mags.

Nope. Uses standard AR15 mags, which of course is awesome since I already have scads of them.

I knew it would use STANAG mags, but PMags were notorious for only feeding into US AR platforms. In G36, HK416 & L85's you needed EMags.

Everything seems to work. Pmags, Lar-15 pistol mags, even my shitty Chinese mags that came with my Norinco AR. Gun is not fussy at all.

Yeah I gonna pick up some "disassemble" clips in a gun show for "part".
Yeah I know you mean, the Ruger 10/22 is have so many options.
Thanks anyway!

Picked up 200 rounds of PPU m193 5.56 for 60 bucks at the Fun Show today, not to bad.

Nice. That's about .10 cents a round cheaper than we get it up here. I'm heading out tomorrow to pick up 1000rnds of .223 and a Polytech M305 (don't have anything in .308 yet).
I am trying my DAMNDEST to get a nice M1 Garand, but they don't come up often on the exchange forums here and when they do they are overpriced or beat to hell and back.

Yeah, I paid about a dollar less per box than I do in my local store and it was one of those sealed 200 round battle packs which is nice. I wanted to get some .308 (for whenever I get a M1 or M14), but I spent my budgeted amount. My goal is when I tire of the AR get a trade for a Springfield M1A, luckily the AR (and this was by design) is a high end one, so it can be traded for other high end items).
Why not just find a gun shop in the US that will export to Canada or import from a US seller?
You can always restore it with USGI parts.

For the oddest reason, I have 1000 rounds of 5.56 green tip M855, in my apartment.
I think I paid around $300 cash for them.

Nice, sadly my range doesn't let me use green tips, which sucks, but it's indoors (and has a very good ventilation setup), so I understand. Still they let me shoot steel if I want and no requirement to buy their ammo to shoot.
That's not too bad for the price (considering it's not 189 for a 420 Federal can). I just hope more PPU turns up here. It's cheap, real 556, and despite lets see...300 rounds in, not a single hiccup. I still need to spend time sighting it in. It tends to go towards the right. Truthfully with my eyes, I need to get a cheap scope.

Yeah, the ammo is Lake City brand.
How much do you want to spend on a scope?
I had a Nikon Prostaff 4x scope, whi was like $170.
Right now I run a second hand EoTech with magnifier,

It depends personally no more than $100-150. But I'm not sure when I can actually get it (finances and the like).
I would love one of those EoTech/mag combos, but for that money I could put a sizable amount down on a M1A.

I bought a busted one, and then went through the lengthy process of getting it refurbished by EOtech. I had to pay for shipping, but in the end, obviously worth it.
I ended up selling my Trijicon. Because I had a cousin's wedding.
Go on the Calguns forums. There's a guy there that works for CMMG that can get you a good deal.
Oh shit thanks!
