[history]
An arsenal of exotic weapons - including a sniper rifle, a spear and a set of 8-inch metal claws - were seized from a 23-year-old Jersey City man after his worried father called cops. When South District cops responded to the Greenville home yesterday morning, they found the sniper rifle - with a powerful scope and a laser sight - as well as three Glock handguns and more than 1,200 rounds of ammunition, reports said. Among the bullets were illegal "hollow-point" rounds, police said. In addition to the spear and metal claws, cops found a number of savage-looking knives, including one that had blades coming out of each end of its carved wooden handle. The owner of the weapons lived with his father, his brother and two younger brothers, police said.

A sniper rifle is one used to hunt snipes.

What would you recommend for 7.62x51 Shotgun news. :) I kind of forget where I got the case (wooden with multiple plastic "battle packs" inside) of Portuguese stuff. Natchez Shooters Supply perhaps, somewhere in that part of the country anyway. I bought a bunch of .30 Carbine from a place in New York, IIRC. It was German made, and it all went bang when it should have, so far anyway, I've still got a couple of boxes left. It's what I shot at the memorial shoot I mentioned above. I've also got some soft point ammo in the .30 Carbine as well, it's what the Carbine has in it when I've got it setting beside my computer table. :)

They ought to see my stockpile! I've got some needle nose pilers in there too. Silly bluebellies...
To: Billthedrill
NO!!! I shouldn't have clicked there. I shouldn't have clicked there. I shouldn't have clicked there...Are you saying you don't like Natchez? I prefer Cheaper Than Dirt for ammo, but Natchez and Midway USA have other nice toys.

I've got something like 20...I guess they'd headline it "Man has own Ft. Knox". Flippin' yankee pussies...
To: Doc91678
How about a .22 for plinking, a 9mm for home protection and a .357 for hunting? Sounds timid to me.My selection and usage.
Plus a Sig P232 .380 for my wife or my carry.

LOL! Well, that will teach me to actually write what I want to say :-)
What kind of rifle would you recommend for 7.62.51?
But thanks for the info!
To: Cobra64
No. I'm saying I just dropped still more money on ammo. (Sigh!)
It's your fault.
To: traviskicks
The man had been licensed to own the guns, but he isn't allowed to keep them under the court order, reports said.Ping

The Springfield Armory National Match M1A-1. When only the very best will do.
If you've got a spare 2K, then go with the SOCOM model.

I live in NJ. Recently on gunbroker.com there was a fraud case where a guy from N. Carolina exploited the global shortage of 7.62x39mm ammunition and conned 28 people out of buying some at slightly discounted prices. I (I'm embarrassed to say) was one of those people.
Most of the options for online fraud start with notifying your local police department but after careful consideration I've decided not to do so. I felt I would rather lose the $49 it will cost me than call attention to the fact that I was trying to buy rifle ammunition in bulk.
I've broken no laws, and I'm completely within my rights, even in New Jersey, but I know that the firearms rules change with the political wind here, and I don't want the police showing up to seize my lawfully purchased personal property.
It's particularly risky because my firearm of choice for the 7.62x39mm bullet is a Romanian WASR-10 which to the untrained eye might look a lot like an AK-47. The NJ assault weapons ban is the most horribly written and subjectively enforced regulation in the country and it basically gives the authorities the right to do whatever they want to you.
I'm a prosperous man (that the lord) so I would have the means to battle it out in court if it came to that, and knowing that tends to make the local politicians and police a little more respectful, but I'd rather avoid the hassle all the same.
So thanks to the New Jersey gun laws, yet another criminal gets to go free while a law abiding citizen has to hide from potential persecution.

So be careful of those bouncing balls! There's a movement in Canada, and I believe some of the New England states, to outlaw their private ownership.

Oh, My God! A "powerful scope"!
Doesn't everyone know that those powerful scopes are dangerous?

You did exactly the right thing in not reporting a $49 loss to the NJ authorities. I can only imagine the investigation and headlines that would result.

New Jersey still has an AWB in place. See my post number: #114

Actually, even a .177 caliber CO2 pellet pistol requires a special permit that takes 6 months to get, and expires 90 days after it's issued. (and if I'm not mistaken there is also a waiting period involved)
