New Head-Fier
My Model 12 was used by guards at Dow Chemical in Houston in the early 1960's, and it's my favorite shotgun.

I actually sold this to a friend, but audio funds were needed, so I bought it back. I really love the DW V-bob. I had some other high dollar 1911s that were sold for other hobbies, I'm happy to have this one back.

Oh man it looks pristine. How much was it?My Model 12 was used by guards at Dow Chemical in Houston in the early 1960's, and it's my favorite shotgun.
Also I've been working on my latest project(building AR-15), only need to get my hands on muzzle break and install optics(new grip, stock and AR 15 handguard https://gritrsports.com/shooting/accessories/handguards/ arrived today, can't wait to finish this build!)
BTW, was visiting relatives in TX and we went to a cool Shoot house event at https://range.gritrsports.com/shoot-house-gritr/ - really cool stuff with low-light drills. Had a lot of fun!

How the final version of my Savage 10 looked before I let it go:
MDT TAC21 chassis with Masterpiece Arms EVG grip and a Magpul buttstock. Also upgraded the extractor parts since it was very weak and an issue.
Wanted a lighter .308 bolt gun setup and went with this for a significant bit of weight savings:
At same time also wanted to get a lever action, so won a used 30AS Marlin (early 90's model hardly fired but bit scuffed up safe-queen with excellent bore) and built it up how I wanted:
Can run any optic from red dot/prism to scout scope to nightvision with the modded XS rail. The preferred use is with the Skinner winged peep/ghost rear and taller .6" front blade and it's dead on accurate from 50 to 150 yards. Internals & trigger upgraded with Wild West parts... very noticeable difference from the heavy, gritty stock trigger. With the WW triger setup it's one of the best tight, crisp breaks ever on a rifle - absolutely lovely trigger. The lightweight medium size loop aluminum lever from Rangerpoint Precision is much nicer than the stock lever on the hands. Also got rid of the factory crossbolt safety and installed a Turnbull Restoration safety replacement instead - looks like a factory screw but is a switchable hammer blocker (goes from no safety besides the half-cock to gun lock out via a hammer drop block.) The Form buttstock and Midwest Industries rail are for better ergonomics and performance. Cheek height instantly adjustable for whatever sighting system is being used with the Form stock. The Magpul M-lok grip panels make foregrip perfect diameter for my hands, the beat up stock furniture was way too skinny.
I also ended up getting another lever after falling in love with it upon first sight...
A Winchester/Miroku 1885 BPCR Target with 30" barrel in 45-70 Govt. Took off the scope mounts & had Montana Vintage Arms build up one of their Soule style rear setups and globe/level front sight. Had slight reservations how shooting it would be, but it's actually really pleasant to shoot with factory 405 grainers. Will eventually be hand loading better BC 535 grain Postell pattern rounds for more accuracy.

Not even slingshot salesmen doing field demos?
Can't sell them in NJ, so that in itself is illegal.

Ok, that's allowed but the salesman may need to prove that they had to travel through NJ.

I will have to fire up the camera and get some pics. My favorite purchase (non audio) of last year was a Hatsan Carnivore. 30 cal big bore air rifle. It puts quarter sized holes in 1/8 thick cast iron at 30 yards. Since it's factory suppressed the loudest thing is the pellet hitting the target.

I've often thought about a .30cal air rifle... the FX Dreamline series or Edgun Leshiy 2 would be the ones interested in. But would rather spend that kind of money on different firearms. Have a couple .22 airguns that I enjoy quite a bit for backyard precision shooting - a Benjamin Cayden PCP repeater and a Diana Model 48 single shot spring-air sidecocker.
