  1. Woke up Monday morning with my truck sitting on my chest. Woke my wife and told her I think I am having an attack. She called 911 took the ambulance 20 minutes to get to my house. Ten minutes later I was on the road to Ascencion St Thomas in Murfreesboro. There about 20 minutes and was taken to Cath lab. Had a blood clot in one of my bypass arteries. Now heart muscle damage and am in heart failure with only 30% heart output (should be 50 to 75 % at my age) but finally home. Not feeling real bad but am somewhat weak. Will need serious rehab and rest. Heart muscle damage and in danger of several bad outcomes in the short time future. I got to get the weight off and watch diet plus take 3 different heart related new meds now and pray for the best. Consensus is, most probably caused by my bout with Coved about 2 months ago. Seems a lot of people who get the new strain of Coved are having blood clots shortly afterwards. Looking to an uphill climb at 76 now. My wife and girls are very glad I am home. Life is short guys. Hope you all are prepared for your demise, I am. I am a child of Jesus the Christ and live for HIM. I am sure my attack took place 5 minutes down the road to the Hospital and could tell the Paramedic was excited with trying to show it. Kept running heart strips all the way to the Hospital. Both my arms were tingling and almost useless, and I began sweeting profusely. I was not scared and was at total, peace, after my prayer, with whatever happened. Only way to be that way is to be a child of Jesus, guys. I did feel terrible concerning and sorrow for my wife because if worse came to worse she would be left alone. Think about eternity guys, please.

  4. While I owned several classics in the 60's and 70's ( think 55 Nomad and 57 Bel Air hardtop) my first taste of a true muscle car was a 69 Road Runner. Damn I loved that car!

  5. Well, since communists deal in instilling fear, I believe everyday people will cease setting up at gun shows. Attendance will be down & many promotors will go out of business. I believe many will drop prices & liquidate their collections. I believe there will be arrests both at homes & gun shows to bolster their agenda, make examples. These tactics have been used in various states, especially the blue states. I hope I'm wrong & these unconstitutional "laws" are overturned. Some here have labeled President Trump a dictator, yeah right, there's a dictator & his minions in office now seeing to the destruction of our country.

  6. LOL !!!!! Got ya ! But seriously , I got this as a birthday present since I love Back To The Future and all it's sequels . I have a very stressful job and I swear these Legos are very relaxing when building them. 2 years ago I got a Star Wars Tie Fighter Pilot Helmet and right now I am working on that. I am just a grown up nerd/kid. These things will sure help de-stress you . Just thought I'd share. Here's the DeLorean/time machine . Enjoy all you nerds !!!!!

  7. My boys and I are working on fixing this up. It's taken a lot longer than I'd hoped but we're getting there. My wife's granddad bought it new. While I was able to drive it across town to our house, we've had to do a lot of stuff to get it running reliably. Almost there. Trying to use it to teach them about wrenching. I'd love to put an LS in it, but just trying to get the 4.3 running well for now.

  8. Up is a beautiful 686-4. An older model with the case hardened hammer/trigger. Newer models do not have this value add. The action is clean and crisp. This 686-4 had the trigger action tuned by Actions by “T” in Sugarland TX. Look him up! He has been rated one of the top pistol-smiths in the USA and specializes in revolver lock work. Timing checked and action tuned. Asking- $900.00 OBO. No trades at this time. I do not have the original grips. Buyer must show TN Carry Permit. Prefer established TGOer. FTF IN Fairview- Buyer must be legally able to own/buy firearms.

  9. It’s not “arming teachers.” It’s ALLOWING teachers to arm themselves if they choose. If they don’t like it, then don’t participate, but why not let others who are willing? I don’t think anybody believes it is THE solution, but a fire may not do as much damage if someone with a hose is there when it starts.

  11. I don't care for this. Not for the "gun" reason, but because it puts these sellers at an unfair advantage over licensed dealers. These folks don't have to purchase an FFL, business license, mess with all the bound book keeping, or charge sales tax.

  13. I think a lot is going to depend on what happens in November. If Joe gets another term, gun sales are going to skyrocket as will prices. If you want one, now may be the best time to do so. But if you buy also consider going ahead and buying extra mags, ammo and accessories as they will also be going up if Joe wins. 7.62X51 - turning cover into concealment for almost 70 years.

  14. Smith & Wesson 29-5 4" 44 Magnum Aside from the turn line on the cylinder it's in great shape despite being handled a fair amount over the years. I'd guess I've put a couple hundred rounds through it, nothing crazy. The grips are in good shape but there is some cosmetic wear near the bottom on both sides. Never had any problems with it - just decided to pair things down a little. It'll come with this here Galco OWB holster. Don't have the original box/papers - just the gun & holster. My wife would certainly prefer that I sell it but I might be open to swapping for hell, I don't know, something. 9mm, 223/556, full sized AKs, etc I'm in Manchester but travel through Murfreesboro and Nashville several times per week. Be happy to meet anywhere there or in between. $1000 Thanks, fellas.

  15. I don’t personally go to gun shows. It’s been at least 12-15 years since I have been. Now from what I hear, it’s mostly guys who are charging moon bucks for dirt road stuff, or ATF agents. Gun Shows in general have lost their “luster” or appeal for me. The issue I have with the latest infringement is the wide variable interpretation of “earning a profit”. I’ve had friends with ads on other sites that have received emails from ATF explaining their definition change. Basically a threatening email. This will be the new normal. It will only get worse with another FJB term. Still worse but at a slower rate if Trump gets another term. I for one am sick of old rich people making decisions that affect normal working people.

  18. I just picked up my new TX22! It came in about three weeks from the time of order. My hat's off to Taurus for coming through. I'll find out next week if their product is as good as their promise. Thanks to all for the advice and interest!

  19. I have taken the position over the past few years that if I think I might want it or need it in the future, I get it as soon as possible without paying a premium due to demand. I figure, if I end up not wanting it or needing it, I can sell it (though this may get more difficult due to the increasing BS). Prices probably won't go down in the future especially with inflation and even if I take a little hit selling it, it was worth it. I believe we should all take this position with things like parts, magazines and other accessories as well. People often forget about what it takes to keep something running after they purchase it.

  22. 1970 Alpine White Challenger 440 6 pack with a 4 speed pistol grip will be my dream car until I die. This is my daily right now, around 450 at the wheels and she will hook up and go.

  23. I’m a huge fan of hockey tape. It’s cheap, and it’s effective. Basically all my guns get wrapped in it now if they’re gonna get used off of an indoor range. Since we are talking about shotguns here, I’ll share a pic of my 1301.

  24. Lord, thank you for sparing pop pop! There is so much sorrow from brothers and sisters in Christ leaving sooner than expected. We know You are coming soon for the whole family of God and we praise you for those who remain that they may complete Your purpose for which they are created. You are a wonderful, merciful Lord and Savior!

  27. Hello! I liquidating my gun collection after many many years of gathering up cool things. I am located in Nashville (TN). Let me know if you are interested. I also have loads of ammo that I am selling. I will post at 75 to 80% GB prices (that is how I priced these) and as they wait to sell, I will drop the prices a few times until they are gone. So check back. I am not positive as to what things are worth locally, but I set everything as better than GB. Also, I will work with you if you buy more.

  28. Legally, no. But practically, there is a record out there attaching your name to that firearm.

  29. This smallbore is not boring one bit! As I began shooting the TX22, it preferred three out of seven brands of ammo, but accuracy improved with all but one as the gun got down and dirty. Best groups were with Remy Golden Bullet and CCI Blazer. I would say Aguila Super Extra came in third. The best news is that there was not one hiccup or failure! The pistol felt great in the hand and pointed naturally. It earns my double thumbs up opinion!

  30. Gun owners pretending they weren't in business are the ones who brought this down. As long as the background check system isn't a bogged down mess, I don't see this going away. As @JohnSutton1980explained pretty well, Congress ceded this authority to the executive branch...they had fundraising to attend to, I'm sure. Better to have something you pretend to care about when asking folks for money.

  33. I agree 100%- I have enough parts to keep my AR15's going for some time- But my Wife say's to go ahead and get it if I want-so there is that- I may just buy one just so I put my anxiety to bed- I guess a .308 is almost a perfect caliber for most any use up to including medium game hunting-

  34. I remember in the late '60s we had some downtime while conducting carrier sea trials aboard the USS Ranger before heading overseas for strike ops against the Viet commies. The Marine detachment had a few Winchester pump shotguns and a good supply of ammo and clay targets, so the CO got the idea to entertain a group of off-duty sailors with some trap shooting. The captain loaded up a hand thrower and took a position on one of the flight deck elevators while the Marines handed out the guns. I was one of the lucky few who had the rare privilege of ordering the captain to "Pull", then blasted three out of three pigeons to bits. I didn't get a sharpshooter's medal, but I did earn admiring looks from the CO and a couple of jarheads that day.

  35. president and ATF can't enact or change the law. you would think the congressional yank on ATFs chain would deter this type of crap. Just another example of the fascist over-reach of the current admin.
