Ah so you openly invite unknown people to tresspass on your property? Sounds like a bad idea so many levels.

I'll be the one. Whenever you have an Easter egg hunt for adults that ends up with Ar15s and calling 911 for Deputy assistance, you have a stupid game. Sorry, my opinion only.

I’m not sure I understand what happened here? You hid stuff on your property and registered it somewhere or gave clues to someone playing a game? Someone came to your property. They were carrying big azz knives, but you recommend carrying a gun when you are out doing whatever it I these individuals are doing. Instead of your first thought being these people were playing the game you are participating in, your first thoughts were to get a rifle, go outside and have your wife call 911. I have some questions but I’m not sure I understand what I am reading.

I think you will find that if you post it here, many of us will not go through the extra hassle of doing a transfer unless of course it was some super special gun.  It not only adds cost to the gun, it isn't required by law.  That being said, you have to do what you are comfortable with.     Requesting an HCP to be shown is not a big deal.  Asking many to sign a bill of sale will also limit you some.  It isn't that any of us are trying to hide something, it is simply that we don't like to share our private info.

I would not hide stuff on my property, but thats me. Glad everything turned out well for you.

Got some blades back for heat treat. The set and the orange scaled knife are for a customer in China, and the wooden scaled knife is for my leather guy, Mark@sea! Nice work there Mark! Thank you!! I love this wood!

I saw on Facebook that Remington is leaving NY and headed to Alabama. I wish it was TN but I'll take it

Post up your requirements for the sale when you put up the for sale ad.  It is in very poor taste to add them after someone makes an offer.   Pretty simple.  If someone wants what you are selling they will go along with it. Those requirements are a deal breaker for lots of us, but why would you care?

They used to make the finest money can buy.   It would be a VERY tough endeavor to get back there again.  Older Colt pistols locked up like a bank vault because there were men and women who apprenticed under masters for YEARS to become qualified to do the hand fitting required for such quality.  Fat chance finding it now.  I was a machinist for over a decade and NO machine will ever produce those old Colt pistols.  No multi axis machine can do what the human hand can.  They can do things the human hand cannot but fit and finish requires a man's hands.     It would be NICE to see it again but don't wager on it.  

Your sale, your rules. It's unusual, but not unreasonable. Just state it clearly in your for sale ad. Like LawVol said, it will limit some buyers, not because they won't pass the check but because they don't want the hassle.   If you're going to require it to go through an FFL, be sure you have an FFL who will do this. Some won't. Also be clear in your ad who will pay the FFL transfer/TICS fees.   The far more common way to go is to require the buyer to show a TN HCP (and maybe to sign a bill of sale). There's a sample BOS in the TGO trading post section.

It's not totally unreasonable, but there will be some potential buyers who will not want to do it simply because it isn't required.  You could require that your buyer have a Tennessee handgun carry permit.  That would at least let you know that they at some point passed a background check.  

David nailed it... Unbolt the trans cross member and place a jack with block of wood under the front side of the oil pan (if weight of trans doesn't tilt it down anyway) where the bolts are (not the pan itself or you'll bend it) and try to get the motor to tilt slightly down in the rear. Once you do that, you will be able to get to the bolts with extensions and universal sockets. I pulled the auto 4.6L 2v 4r70w out of mine by myself and swapped in in a Tremec 3550 (now called a TKO), so I know it can be done. :up:

Does it come in black?

Took a much-needed vacation to Colorado with the family this past week. Spent some time in Colorado Springs and Fort Collins both. Opted *not* to take my Canon 7D DSLR this time, instead just sticking with my iPhone 6. It was an experiment in seeing if I could enjoy myself more by not obsessing over taking "the perfect shot" like some sort of amateur Ansel Adams. I did. These aren't photographic perfection but they are photos of God's perfection. Enjoy. Oh yeah, and here's a flight of seasonal beers with a plate of bier cheese dip and back-wrapped pretzels for you at Fort Collins Brewery. So much 'Merica right here.

Every now and then I'll snap off a good one. [URL=http://s779.photobucket.com/user/richarddacat/media/FLOWERS/daeb0e21-8ad0-4013-8b7c-5194032b65cc_zpsaqdv8spj.jpg.html][/URL]

Good looking rifle, I have one of the 10FCP-SR's with a Vortex Viper pst 6-24x50mm on it and I love it. Hard to go wrong with a Savage.

I didn't see anything in the rules about suppressed or full auto, so since it has a light on it, .... I don't want to paste for you!  Should I go ahead and put down multiple hits on all the "non-threats" now ? 

You guys have lost it.

Oh boy!  Changing it up.

If I can make it, I'll be shooting my M249 suppressed with DBAL (IR laser and IR flashlight) with PVS14 night vision.   If John lets me :)   Need to see if Mike Dresner can go. He'll be at my house Saturday and I'm trying to get him to run some big guns with me. But he's a big maybe right now. Someone needs to message him and bug him to attend :)

  This is my son, although it's not a 240, there's nothing neat about his pile, it's everywhere https://youtu.be/7LZM7FVsp8Q

Somebody has to pay for he transfer, ya know, like $15-50, depending on FFL. Plus the $10 TICS.   - OS

If I had the financial means and backing as well as the right location in the right portion of the Southeaster United States I'd do it. All Colt needs to be successful again is return to its core products. Colt used to make some fantastic revolvers with the New Service and Police Positive. With a modern CNC manufacturing facility they could become successful again.

If there's ever a question about whether you can do it legally, ask yourself this question: "Is there any reason the government should control this?" If the answer is no, then they are controlling it. ;)

Jeez, I didn't realize this stuff had gotten so high.   Thanks guys.  I think I'll make some TGO'er a decent deal on it.  

I knew going with a Savage I would have excellent out of the box accuracy. Very pleased so far and sure the groups will shrink as I tailor some loads for it. I almost went with a Remington 700, but even though it is a strong action their quality issues over the past several years scared me away. I didn't want to buy a rifle and immediately have to sink a few hundred more into getting a decent barrel. I handled a SPS with the 26" heavy barrel and it was way too heavy and unbalanced. This Savage is light enough to carry around if needed and balances great with everything mounted.

No problem. Glad to help. Some people don't like the 3 string split, but I really do. You can always pop it in the string and see if you like it first before serving it in tight. Good luck, I hope you get it setup to your liking and are taking aim at a monster soon :) BTW, the Switchback is a sweet bow!

My wife has a sig p238. Awesome gun. The slide is easy to manipulate, great sights (tritium), very accurate, fun to shoot, well-made SA pistol. The only question I had about it with her was the 1911ish complexity of it. I have to make sure she stays "current" on it. Just happen to have a pic.... She also has a glock 43. She likes them both a lot (and so do I :) ) Sig also makes the same gun in 9mm in the slightly larger P938

Thanks. I don't remember exactly, but it came in a pack of two (a smaller one and larger one). I'm pretty sure I used the bigger one

Who do I need to see about getting that 3:27 back

I used to have an '03 Mach 1. You're going to need to loosen the motor mounts and put a jack under the front of the oil pain and lift upward to tip the output shaft of the transmission DOWN, which should allow you to access those top bolts and loosen them. What color is your Mach? Mine was Dark Shadow Grey. I know it's still in the area, but haven't seen it in a few years. It'd be funny if you have it now. Also, I have an engine support beam that straddles inner fenders and will support the engine from above, allowing you to drop the K-Member and a host of other things. In fact it will work for precisely the operation you're trying to perform, as that's one of the reasons I had it. You remove the alternator and then attach the beam to the engine block using the same bolts / bolt holes that the alternator was mounted to. The benefit of this engine support beam is that it's safer than using a jack at the front of oil pan as it won't slip and allow the whole thing to come banging down on you. I'd gladly part with the dadgum thing for about $75 if you want it. I have no need for it now. It looks a lot like this:

Does the air blow cold, if not I am out! 

  Yep, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, :2cents:

TGO group buy?

Well you mentioned it there...high end ML is what you'd need for range.  I happened to be zeroing my 6.8 last year next to a guy with what appeared to be a pretty pricey custom ML with Nightforce glass.  He was MOA at 400 yards with (I believe) a 300gr slug... Since you're sticking with the .308 pistol, post pics for the rest of us gun-nuts  :up:

Yes it'll cause new shooters scores to look even worse compared to the experienced ones. Kinda like uspsa does to idpa shooters lol

I recently transformed this little corner into a circus.... and It was pretty much the greatest thing ever. .

I'm up for any kind of meet-up. Shooting or not, I enjoy the events.

I'd suggest doing a Nashville-area get together at Charlie Haffner's range some Saturday or Sunday soon.  That way folks can get some shooting in as well as socializing.   Or if you guys want, I can reach out to the local shops with indoor ranges and see if one of them would do a private early-opening for coffee and donuts one morning before their range opens, so that folks could chit chat and then go shoot.   *shrug*

That PSA deal is back up from where I posted a couple of days ago.  About 4 or 5 posts above, use the link.  Still on Sale.

Just a couple from the local high school band.

Where everything goes just right! I finally figured out why my 1885 didn't like cast boolits. The expander plug in my die was too small & was compressing the less bullet in the case to the point it wouldn't obturate to bore size. Half an hour if test loading got me 22 consecutive hits on a 24" tall by 12" wide plate at 600yds. I also shot my first deliberate group at 1000yds with my 6.5x55. The wind was tough to read, but I managed an 8" 3 shot group. Not world being, but good enough that I'm still grinning!

Thanks. This is what I'm going for. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/97/f0/3d/97f03da6e0ed7998b95d9f0b5a157408.jpg

For what it's worth, B&H Photo has a Manfrotto bag on sale today for $19.99. It is usually $49.99-$59.99. I bought one. Review once I get it, but it works out great for me since I was in the market for a more compact shoulder bag vs the backpack I've been sporting. I figure even if I hate the bag, I can at least get my money back easily if not a few bucks more. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/find/dealZone.jsp

The truth is that I hate that it happened. But it really did work out for the best. My former boss told me as I was walking out that it would be okay, he knew I would land on my feet. I personally like the guy and I have talked to him daily since this went down. He had nothing to do with my being fired. It was hard to see it at the time, I mean there were so many emotions going through my mind at the time. I didn't know which way was up or down. But I suppose he was right.   I knew that 10 years of experience in such a specialized field was a boon, I just didn't realize that we are so rare. One of the companies I interviewed for said they had been searching for five months and hadn't found a candidate with half my qualifications. The problem is that the term 'dispatcher' is used colloquially for a CSR at many maintenance companies, thus it is an entry level position. But a Dispatcher Planner is something much, much more. Many of the calls I got were just that, "Hey, we have this position, you will be answering the phone, it pays $9-12 an hour..." The rest were "Oh, you are an honest to goodness professional dispatcher for a national fleet!"   The fact that this company is family owned, been in business for 40 years, and is looking for ways to stay at the top of the food chain is what got me. I don't know if I can do the corporate grind again. Being interviewed by the owner, and his son and then being told that I would be working hand in hand with them to find their new software was a nice touch. I am not a job jumper, and I am loyal to a fault. I told them. "I have a cat that showed up at my door step ten years ago, she knew the second she saw it that inside, was her forever home. That is what I thought I had, that is what I am looking for."   The future is bright, and damn, I feel pretty fine about myself right now.

Please allow me to introduce myself, I am the Dispatch Manager and Software Integration Specialist for Dauenhauer Plumbing. The largest privately owned plumbing company in the state of Kentucky.   I accepted the position this morning. It is a raise, and a promotion from where I was. It is a more relaxed atmosphere and I will be instrumental in big changes at the company. I will be helping select the new software and phone system, participating in the construction and layout of a new building for my department and then training my department in the best way to do the job. After that I will be on the continuous lookout for new software and technological advances to keep my company on the cutting edge of the plumbing industry as technology leaders.   The statement was "We knew where we needed to be, we had no idea how to get there, then you walked in the door as the solution to everything we needed.

The question I would have is whether management knew of any of the other sales as a part of their investigation where the person was not fired today as a result. Consistency matters in Human Resources - especially when it comes to terminations. If it turns out they were selective, I might be inclined to discuss it with counsel.

I carry a j-frame because I can get a full firing grip on it while it's in my pocket and don't have to change that grip at all as I draw. Try as I might with my build (6'0" and 150lbs if I've had a good breakfast) and a pair of 501s, I've yet to replicate that with an auto without some compromise. The smallest ones like the LCP are actually the worst for me in that regard. Now, if I'm carrying on my belt - I'm choosing something larger. And by the time a pistol makes it to my hip, I've not got any question about whether or not it's going to work if needed. But, if I'm going to pocket carry - and I do a lot - I'll choose my well worn M&P 340CT every time.
