I'm not interested in getting the third degree, having to pay tribute to the government, or being put on some list because I want to exercise a constitutional right. The list beginning on the second page of this document is what leads me to conclude guns, for all intents and purposes, are illegal in NJ. Also, you might be interested in some NJ Gun trivia.

And no, I don’t own any guns or firearms.

Got that Axelrod, and CARNIVORE...I got no guns!

"...In NV, there’s the one time ATF $200 tax stamp, FBI check and ATF Form 4 with the local Sheriff. No other renewal fee or license of any sort." I think in most states it is a FED deal. The BATF even slaps a surcharge on blackpowder weapons shipped from the manufacturer. I found this out when I almost bought a flintlock from Tennessee Valley. The good thing is that front loaders can still be mail-ordered. They still throw a lethal bullet and make great wall decorations! flintlocksWilliamsburg

Outstanding, and don’t forget USAF CPT Allison in 2001 in Afghanistan, early on, flew Spectre gunship as was known as the “Angel of Death”.

Yep. AWESOME!

Take AC-130H Spectre gunship evaluator-navigator Capt. Allison Black, for example. It was mid-November 2001...

Black began to chart the course. When her voice crackled over the soldiers’ field radios, Dostum was delightedly incredulous. A woman? Sent to kill the Taliban? “He couldn’t believe it,” Black said. “He thought it was the funniest thing.”

The Spectre neared and its cannons erupted. Unaccustomed to the Gatling gun’s mechanized snarl, the fighters confused the airstrike with a ground assault. Militants scattered into the fields, seeking cover in ditches and vehicles, although Black could see their heat-signature silhouettes from her console by the cockpit.

Dostum, hidden with the Army detachment several miles away, said the Taliban also believed a high-powered laser pointer used by Spectre operators to identify ground targets — a “sparkle,” in Air Force spec ops speak — was a death ray that turned everything it touched to flames.

As the hailstorm of munitions continued, Dostum grabbed his walkie-talkie, switched to the Taliban’s unsecured frequency and relayed to them the sound of Black’s chatter coming through Army radio.

He used the female pilot’s voice to taunt them as they bled.

“He said, ‘America is so determined, they bring their women to kill the Taliban. You’re so pathetic,’” Black said. “‘It’s the angel of death raining fire upon you.’”

What kind of pistols are those and what period in history were they made?

The reason I ask is because I bought one in Yorktown VA at a garage sale for $10.. It is not complete and was found on the Yorktown Battlefield by a treasure hunter.

Just bought an AR-15 six days ago. Opened the case when I got home and a big red flier inside the instruction manual stated, “Using Wolf or any steel case ammunition will void warranty.”

Well, there’s a reason. I bought a CZ82 at a recent gunshow. Whne I tried the steel cased ammo with it, I got a jam in the fiorst four shots. The extractor ripped right through the lip of the casing, leaving the spent shell in the chamber. Don’t bet you life on cheap ammo, use ONLY brass casing ammo.

Those are flintlock pistol reproductions. In the displays at Yorktown and Williamsburg they also have many originals in first class condition. The flintlocks gradually replaced the matchlocks and Wheel-locks in Yorktown after 1650 and were improved until being replaced by percussion cap muzzle loaders in the 1830s and 40s. Those in the photo were of a style that stayed popular through the Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Alamo. The Alamo happened the same year Sam Colt patented his revolver.

If your relic has a lock of any kind left it is valuable unless it is a tossed reproduction.

America is a country of instant nostalgia proven by the reunion at The Little Big Horn only ten years after the battle. Forensic studies of empty brass cartridge case placement at such battlefields are thrown off by brass dropped from salute volleys and reenactments while the original type of head stamped brass cartridge case was still in existence.

You mean the roof? LOL

That, too. I can't imagine that. I'd likely never use an outhouse again. It's bad enough with black widow spiders...

About to take it to a gun shop for final assembly.

They're easy to put together yourself. I build a lower in about two hours, and I've never owned one before. I did buy the upper complete, but they're even more simple than the lowers. I was amazed at the sweet logic built into how every piece went together. I was also amazed that something that was built for combat in terrible conditions relied on so many tiny little pins and springs.

Indeed, it's not a White vs. Black issue at all,

rather a hard-working honest American of any color vs. lazy Fedzilla teet-sucking miscreants and their corrupt politician enablers.

Mine is definatly not a reproduction and is not in good condition, no barrel and the end of the wooden part that supported the barrel has a bit broken off. It has brass on both sides with peculiar markings, brass on the butt of the handle and the trigger guard is brass with more strange markings. The wood also has designed carved on it. There is a a gunshop near me that also carries some antiques I should take it over there and ask what it is.

All my guns, ammo and other equipment were lost in a tragic boating accident on Lake Michigan.
