  Could be a "1861 pocket police cylinder"... It wasn't unusual for these percussion revolvers, especially the "well used" ones to have extra cylinders or orphaned cylinders from another revolver... The lanyard loop is interestin too... It may have been added by an old time gunsmith...They were popular round the ww1 era...    Remember, many of these old percussion revolvers were regularly used up into the 1930's...  They were (...and still are...) accurate, relatively dependable, and deadly in the right hands...    I tend to think that Spots has found a "real, original" navy with a maverick cylinder...   The area in which it wuz found (....Oliver Springs area...) was no stranger to strife and trouble from civil war times right up thru the 1930's...Lots of veterans came home to places like Oliver Springs after the civil war; and lots of people were armed because of the old time coal mine labor troubles that followed like at Coal Creek... Most everybody was armed in that vicinity; and they knew how to use those arms if they needed to;.... lots of their sons and daughters them still do today... thankfully...   leroy

If the ATF come after you to investigate the origin of you lower to determine whether or not it's a pistol or rifle on the 4473 I'll eat your hat.

TGO member "Timestepper" sent this to my facebook page and I thought I would share it. DS

Actually, armed guards in schools is an excellent plan from a liberal standpoint.  It helps promote obedience and complacency during the indoctrination years.

  'Course, that first shot probably went "elsewhere". ;)   - OS

Glad they're enjoying them.  The taxpayers still took a bath on that deal.

i find it laughable when either party is fingered  by the other for political monkey-business.   Neither can claim taking the high road.

  They are not scared of us in the least, because We the People keep re-electing them over and over again.  We need to do away with career politicians that become so powerful, they are almost unstoppable.  I really wish the state would get together for a Constitutional Convention, and impose term limits on Congress.  Not going to happen, though.

Also sounds like a lot of conservative Republicans I know as well.  Free thought is not a strong point for either party.

I'm watching about twenty turkey right now, so close I could spit on them. Wish it was twenty deer!

[quote name="TrickyNicky" post="1040194" timestamp="1380319734"] I can only assume this is in jest, if so it IS pretty funny thought, if its actually crossed your mind as a legitimate course of action, well, dang. Just dang.[/quote] My actual course of action would be to put up a sign that only a bulldozer could pull up.

Ding, Ding, Ding we have a winner.

Obama is not delusional, he only appears that way because his agenda is so different from most of us that it defies logic. Everything he does is for a reason. Take this move, the first thing that comes to mind is, give the NRA what they want, put the guards there. The next time a shooting still happens even with an officer there, he will say, "see we tried your idea, it didn't work, now we need to try my way". Just edited for an additional thought. What better way to start getting kids to get used to our ever increasingly move toward becoming a police state.

Low light picture but still nice to see. Today at work I was shown how to set my phone for low light so I will try that next time.

I hope oh shoot doesnt mind me using this Tapatalk ate my spelling.

As expected, the show ******* rocked! It was 90% concert, 10% movie. They played most of the popular songs. Much of the camera/3D work made you feel as if you were on stage with the band. I left wanting to punch someone in the mouth. I'd see it again.

I've loaded the Federal paper hulls and they were great. I loaded all of my ribbed Remington hulls and gave them to my kids for Christmas, told them to NOT pick up and save the hulls for me - I'm done with them. Winchester AA only for me. I bought 1000 AA hulls from a skeet range years ago and still have a lot left. Most can be reloaded 4 times.

So I was installing a water line today at a very old, backwoods house and dug up something intresting. Its an 1851 Colt Navy pattern cap and ball. I disassembled it to a degree at lunch, it is complete except for the grips. Just thought Id share the coolest thing I ever dug up. My guess is its a reproduction, but not sure how to tell. It was a good 2 ft in the ground. Tapatalk ate my spelling.

Kwik cash pawn in Lebanon is having a major auction of several hundred firearms on 9/28 at 10am. I saw the gun list today and there's a ton of nice stuff. From pistols including sigs and Glocks, lots of shotguns and rifles and a couple of c&r rifles too. The auction info should be up on the Agee auction site soon http://www.ageeandjohnsonauctions.com/

Only advice I can offer is stay away from mobile homes. It's the only home that depreciates over time regardless of upkeep and maintenance.

I suspect he'll not find a single buyer who's willing to pay what he is expecting, unless he's willing to accept an amount far less than their actual value. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2

I have found that these are words to live by. :up:

You don’t need it expunged if it was dismissed. Yes, it can be expunged. Tennessee does not recognize expungements to restore gun rights. I don’t know if the feds do.   If you are worried about losing the HCP $125 + cost of class; apply for a C&R license; costs $30 and you will know.

These are questions that I think you're going to require the advice of somebody that's actually got a JD, not those of us on this board with an ID (Internet Doctorate.).

WOW!   About the only thing that could beat that is...   Digging a six foot deep ditch to bury a water line and find Jimmy Hoffa!

  No!  Do not try to have sex with the iBabe!

Good luck everyone.

Palmetto has been running some great deals lately, just like the good old days.  Ammo is still a bit high, but parts are at the nice price.

Big bada boom. I had one and sold it, wouldn't mind another but I really wanted the 18". That 16" is loud as shit. The people next to me at the range shooting a .22 were not pleased.

If your wife is intimidated by a 12 gauge the muzzle blast of most AR's will also be a problem. It isn't about recoil, it is about the concussive blast for a lot of shooters. If it must be an AR I would find one in 9mm. They are identical to a 223 as far as controls but are a lot easier to shoot. With the extra barrel length it gives the 9mm 357 magnum type performance. And because it is a blowback gun it will be a lot more reliable. My wife has one that has over 9K rounds through it so far and it is supremely reliable. We have it zeroed for 100 yards and it remains within a couple of inches from the muzzle to that distance. It is still point and shoot out to 150 yards.   As far as a 9mm carbines go there are plenty out there, Beretta even makes one called the Storm. There are also a lot of other brands that work just as well but are not nearly as nice to look at. There are even some that are magazine compatible with popular pistol brands like Glock or Beretta. So you can have your Glock pistol and use the same magazines in your defensive rifle. Keltec makes the Sub 2000 that used to be really cheap. It is a great bare bones gun that would work well in a defensive role if you can find one reasonably priced.   Shooting a 223 inside is LOUD and can be very disorientating if you do not have hearing protection. 9mm is not hearing safe but it is not going to cause the same problems as a 223 does. Another consideration is muzzle flash, depending on ammo type. A 9mm rifle has very little, if any, muzzle blast while a 223 can have basketball sized muzzle flash if using certain ammo.   If you must have a 223 AR I would not be afraid of Windham, Bushmaster or Sig. They can all be bought at Walmart for under $1,000 depending on model. S&W also makes a great gun called the Sport that would easily fill your needs. It can usually be found for under $800 if you look around some.

  Please, give me a break! I hope you're saying that sarcastically!   Had these morons any balls of their own they would not have voted with Harry Reid for cloture. They knew exactly what was going to happen when voting to end debate, it's the same crap we always get from pantie wastes in the RINO party. They also knew their vote against the stripped bill wouldn't amount to a hill of beans, other than a great one liner for the next election campaign. "hey look everybody, I voted to defund obamacare" kiss my a** you did!   These morons don't give a d*** about anything but their own skin. They bowed down to the party bosses. The national party bosses and the TN party bosses, and I'm just gonna tell you, those bosses don't give a crap about you and me. It's all about power and what they can do to keep it. McCain said "we need to focus our attention against democrats, and not republicans" hell man there's no difference, we've got to fight both of them!   If you knew what you were going to get before you started, why go there? "Ok fellow RINOs, here's the plan... so we vote to end debate, then we'll vote yes to strip out the obamacare funding, ok, that should work, got it?"   What, are they so stupid that they can't even count! My word, it only takes a simple majority and they ain't got the votes for it. Is that stupid or what? For people in the real world yes it's stupid. But not for RINOs, no. They never planned to have any affect on the bill to start with. They quit caring about the people that put them in office a long time ago. They have no inkling about who they serve or what purpose they are there for. Once inside the beltway their allegiance turns to "The Party." And the party has a huge influence over everything they do, and everything they do is first for the party, and second or third for the people of the Great State of Tennessee. And we may even be farther down the line than that!   /rant off

  I blame the wife.....if it wasn't for those blasted bran muffins of hers, I might have been there years ago.  :waiting:

Hell Yes!   Jeff Beck. Eric Clapton. Stevie Ray Vaughn. Mark Knoppler. Chet Atkins. Roy Clark. Just a few of the great ones. In no particular order.   Damn. These guys have hands and fingers like I do, but I sure can't make mine do the things like them.    Yeah, I know....years, and years, and years with a guitar glued to them. That's how.

  Alright, I can't type.  There it's out in the oopen.

Walmart almost every thing you need in one place with likely the best prices in town. The local pawnshops and gun shops are buying ammo there and marking it up so definitely the cheapest ammo in town when they have it. What is not to like.

:lol: :rofl: I did not edit that btw.

If you want a  "mid range" $1000-1200 AR for $800-900, get a stripped lower, parts kit, buffer./stock assembly and find a complete upper, like from Palmetto State Armory when then run their sales. Matter of fact PSA is good for all the parts really -- watch for blem sales.   If you want a complete quality rifle you can for sure depend on with a factory warranty on whole gun, buy one of the Colt or Smith and Wesson models from Walmart in the $1,00-1300 range. Although a lesser priced Windham Weaponry, DPMS, or Bushmaster from there will suffice just fine for most folks and will likely kill near about as many zombies  before MTBF as the Colt/S&W, but the snobs will dis it. :)   - OS

Plus kingsnakes, once grown, help control venomous snake populations.

The extent of my leeway given to the Two Tools from Tennessee is that they only voted YES to end debate and allow the bill to proceed to a final vote, just like all the other R's mentioned.   The final vote was 54-44 with the TTT twins voting against.  The two missing votes are from Republicans.  Guess they can now say they had nothing to do with any of it.  http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=113&session=1&vote=00209   Same silly, stupid crap those two pulled on the last gun control bill earlier this year.

He is one of the old RINOs, that do not want to give up the power, Lamer, Corker, McCane, all the old guard hate the new up and coming guys.

I love my socom. I wanted a Scout, but the Socom was $1300 and available. I added a wood stock to liven it up a bit.

When the other side of any debate can not find the truth to support their side all they have left is name calling.

A guy goes into a Mickey D's with a gun, starts pointing it at people, it won't fire, so he goes outside to fire shots in the air, then he comes back inside and those people are still in there??   :screwy:

I will be there. I guess I will need 400 rounds or so by the way I've been shooting.

I run a Lee on a drill and it isn't bad at all. I will say that the locking ring can be a pain to get tight sometimes so I added a small handle to it to give me a little more leverage. I drilled a hole in the side of the locking ring then drilled it, tapped it and installed a screw. It lets me get it tight now with the additional leverage.

My experience at Walmart last night was completely different.  They totally ignored me as they should because I had it concealed.

Perhaps when we get a timeline for delivery we can set up regional build parties so that folks with tools can show up to give folks the ability and training to DIY. I have beer when I build mine, as a rule.

I'm kinda like the great Jim Crow in that great Disney production "Dumbo"....  "Ive seen a backporch swing, heard a diamond ring, but i aint never seen an elephant fly (....nor a glock fail....)!!..".   My BS meter is off the scale on this one.   Follow the money.  There aint nothin new under the sun.   leroy
