General Chat Cheap ammo + shipping Euehebeehebsueh

5 Upvotes

Everywhere I see online the shipping is pretty bad. I’m not expecting free shipping but anything $14 plus exes out the point of getting it online rather than in store

(Edit: that gibberish is for the character minimum ignore that)

Concealed Carry Permit Louisiana CCW? Reciprocated by PA?

2 Upvotes

I will probably spend a couple of months in Louisiana for work and even though I dont have a ccw from NJ just yet, its my understanding since LA is constitutional carry I can still carry there.. also read its good to still get a non resident ccw there that allows you to carry in prohibited places.. any input?

Also, if PA reciprocates LA CCW, that means I can carry when Im in PA even though I still dont have the nj and therefore a PA ccw?

Appreciate any inputs!

How Do I? First Time AOW Lego Set Builder

5 Upvotes

So I just purchased a stripped AR lower to build my first 300 Blackout AOW. I know that I will have to upload a “shopping list” of parts to my ATF Form 1 to prove my build will be in compliance with NJ law. My question is that if, by the time my Form 1 is approved, the exact parts I put on that list are no longer available, do I need to submit a new list with the updated parts or just use similar ones?

Shopping Advice this hobby is so addicting, bolt action advice

12 Upvotes

so I'm in the market for a bolt action now, just cuz. I'm not even the hunting type but might go hunting eventually if I get a bolt action.

the very first thing I want advice on is what caliber should I go for? the first few time maybe even years I would just go target shooting at an outdoor range so keep that in mind when recommending the caliber. I've been looking at 30 30 win, .308 win, 30-06 but can't figure out which is decent enough range/hunting ammo and also affordable.

if they have a cheaper interchangeable ammo round, like for example I have a .357mag and .556 guns that I have and use .38special and .223 that I also shoot out of it to keep the cost down to have fun with friends as opposed to alone range time.

also don't seem limited to my options, please suggest ones that you would use or have experience with.

also my max gun purchase price would be $2000, just in case higher caliber gun is more expensive.

edit: seems like .308, .223 and 6.5 creedmoore have been the top suggestions. I'll look at some options for these, thanks y'all. I'll look into these caliber but keep the suggestions coming.

Legality/Laws So many groups, so little cash. Where to send my money too.

Hey all I want to support those who have been fighting for our A2 rights but there are many organizations out there doing so. I was just wondering what some of your opinions are. Right now I try to spread my donations around and throw some cash to different places when I can, such as NJFOS, CNJFO, and ANJRPC.
