Update: Took the pistol to the range today. It ran perfect. Tried WWB, Remington UMC, Silver Bear, Freedom Munitions fmj, and Freedom Munitions loaded with the Hornady XTP bullet. Everything cycled fine and my wife's groups are getting smaller too. I was not happy to have to send the gun in, but it seems like it is good to go now and the turn around time was really fast.

Rest in peace Jareth the Goblin King.

https://youtu.be/YOS065ZJwT4 Best review of that gun. Ever.

I thought I would post some pictures of my latest projects.

I've really come to like it and the reddish tint it has.

  That's like saying you want to switch to Catholicism because you want a religion where it's ok to drink, but no other reason.  It's offensive to Catholics, and equally offensive to us who like our Glocks.  :)

Please don't start raving about how beautiful, accurate and smooth CZ pistols are. CZ's are highly sought-after as it is, and a lot of models don't stay on the market for long, and if you miss your chance, you're back on the waiting list. If you get more people excited about CZ's now, it will just get worse for us!   Keep moving on. Nothing to see here. Just heavy steel pistols, nothing special. Move on. Look there, new Glocks!    :lol:               Just kidding. Glad you're enjoying it! I love my CZ's, and want more. It's the CZ fever! :)  

Me too, but I caved last week and bought two of 'em.

F'ing white people.

I offered to ban you.   We don't delete accounts.

I just heard that Rock Star, David Bowie, died. He was definitely an odd guy, but seemed to mellow out and tone it down as he got older. He put out some good music though.

  I truly hope this fails again. No more precedents regarding federal gun control of any kind should be set. A positive one is only a heartbeat different from its opposite.   The only gun action I'm in favor of would involve repeal, not addition.   - OS

Counter proposal.... Disallow internal ignition, scopes & saboted projectiles ;)

Why don't they make all signs on private property have force of law?  I'd really like to see someone get arrested and fined $500 for having a candy bar past a "No Food or Drink" sign.  If its good for one sign, why isn't it good for all signs?

No, this is actually true. Russian guns were designed to eat everything from .22LR to small artillery shells without the pesky need to swap barrels. They also never, ever, ever, ever, never ever jam. I once saw YouTube video of a Spetznatz Soyuz door gunner who filled his AK47 barrel and chamber with Quik-Crete, let it set for 3 days, then successfully fired a magazine on full auto from it, underwater, upside down, with no hands. It was on the Internet so you know it's true.

IMO signs should have no teeth legally. If someone carries past a sign and doesn't leave when asked, trespassing laws would apply.

Getting old is the reason I shoot the Benelli M2 with the Comfort Grip stock a lot more nowadays.  :P

I've reached the point where I just shoot 223 now in long guns, but still like to shoot my 1911 45's. I just turned 69 last year and it seams like over night, getting old catches up with you. :confused:

  You got it figured out. They can't do it by brute force. That's a really good way to get your ass kicked.   The secret to dealing with millions of heavily armed rednecks... Don't be a dick. 

Personally I think TGO has beat this into the ground.  I'm also pretty sure that were I him, I wouldn't necessarily want my info out there on the Internet.  I'm not e-famous the way he is, but it's been done to me because of TGO and it really pissed me off.   Not that the information about either of us isn't readily accessible to the people who want to dig, but when people on TGO, blogs, Facebook and other social outlets just beat the issue to death, it does nothing BUT draw more attention to it.  You guys might as well light up a spotlight and swing it on his house at this point, because that's effectively what all of these threads are doing.

    Or you could just remove the section entirely because trespass law already covers this.

I wrote a piece about an experience this past week.  This type of thing was nothing unique or special, but it does paint the picture of how thin the line is between shots fired or just handcuffs.

My wife is a permanent resident alien and she got her HCP.

Predator (Bob) did work on a few of my revolvers and did a great job!  If he is out in Powell now I would not hesitate to use them for revolver work.  B

Except for Clint Eastwood and Kurt Russell.

    FWIW, these two posts from ARFCOM HomeTown section in Dec, assuming "Bob" is the main smith?   "Bob is setting up shop at Knoxville Tactical in Powel. The were moving in his machines just before Thanksgiving. He is supposed to be up & running mid-December or so."   "Bob Howard has moved to Knoxville Tactical. I was fortunate enough to find him there. Knox Tac will be ready to roll with any of your gun smithing needs as soon as the electrician connects the necessary wiring to the lathes and machinery. They are also equipped to Ceracoat, as well. BTW, Knox Tac is having a Glock Days sale this weekend (started today 12/4/15), with a Glock representative in the store tomorrow and some really good deals!"   - OS

    As long as you do not use that new high tech compound bow you brought in archery season... ;)   :pleased:

Hear is my only celebrity pic from the show. Also this is my first post here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really? I had a past neighbor get all fired up over my shooting a Gammo air rifle in my back yard. Even threatened to call the local police station because I had a rifle out in public. All over shooting pellets into a cardboard box stuffed with old phone books as backing. Nothing ever came of it, and the "neighbor" moved away. Guess I was just too threatening to live by. Now if one more would move, I'd be very happy. He's a flaming anti gun, anti Republican, anti conservative, card carrying believer in Al Gore and the like. And thinks Obama and Hillary are the best thing in the last 100 years. He's not even visited the house since I had a Bush yard sign up years ago. Oh...and LOVES our new mayor, Ms Barry.

But is he really Spetznaz if he wasn't back flipping while throwing an e-tool?

R.I.P. Didn't know he had cancer. This is the album that comes to mind...

A Glock extended slide stop/release is also a must. It doesn't look like it would make much of a difference, but it sure does. http://www.brownells.com/handgun-parts/frame-parts/slide-catch-parts/slide-catches/extended-slide-stop-levers-prod23432.aspx

Building an AR is akin to legos.  Other milsurp rifles are MUCH more involved.

He hired SRV to tour and record with him for a little while. Stevie is playing guitar in "let's dance" but any SRV fan would already know that. Didn't care for much of his music but he had fantastic taste in guitarists.

Please make mine black.

I would be more concerned because people constantly request to come to his range.

You can either see our website at www.tnactionpistol.com or look in the competitive shooting forum here. We also post matches on Facebook. Easy info: Wednesday nights, doors open at 5pm, rounds downrange by 6:15. We wrap up around 9 pm unless it's one of our crazy (Halloween,Christmas, ect). 3 mags and strong side holster. Come out and play when you can!

Either way, I'd sure like to see the sign law neutered in some fashion.  The park law last year opened up a lot of places for legal carry and neutering the sign law would do the same thing.

if I was a republican candidate I'd admit the obvious. " Aside from hippa issues the EO thing is a bunch of nothing.  And the hippa issues can be dealt with if I win."   the only people who think Zero did anything, well they are ignorant on gun issues to begin with.

PDs won't issue "smart guns". There is a reason. Even 50 years from now the technology won't be reliable enough to bet your life on. People who talk of "smart guns" being a viable solution are the same people who say, "shoot them in the leg rather than shoot to kill." These are the people who watch too many movies and believe it's reality; stupid people. Their opinions don't matter any more than the opinions of a toddler.

Speaking of Smart Guns, here a couple links:   How Obama's edict will resurrect smart guns  (from a recent Slashdot article)   Of course, we've seen it before. Here some spiffy marketing.   A gun that defaults to a non-firing state? I think only the free market will show how that will turn out. Unfortunately, it may lead to several deaths before politicians and early adopters will re-think Smart Gun technology.   Perhaps it's time to lay in a good supply of good old-fashioned "mechanical guns".... 

Picked her up this afternoon! Didn't have a chance to do some good photo's yet, but even the bad one's make it look pretty decent. I have to admit, it is even better than I expected. The stock is incredible in person. I think I need medium instead of high rings, but I'll see how it goes. Now to just get out and shoot it. The build specs are: Action: Stiller Precision 2500x RBLP Barrel: Shilen Ratchet .900 Stock: Lidgard in Paduak Trigger: Flavio Fare' Tuner: Harrell Scope: Sightron SIII 10-50x60mm Gunsmith: Richard Gorham Action Bedding: Tom Meredith Rest: Arnold Machine Killough Shooting Sports is where I bought all of the components and they did the ammo testing.

I would remove both the criminal charge and the fine for people with handgun carry permits.  Missouri, for example, only turns the signs into an issue if you fail to leave when asked to leave, and even then it is only a 100 dollar fine.  Missouri's sign law makes the busy body politicians feel like they are doing something but in fact it helps people with permits.  You can even carry on school property legally in Missour until someone notices you carrying and asks you to leave.  That is a lot better than Tennessee.   Change the wording to something like this:   Carrying of a concealed firearm in a location specified in subdivisions (1) to ( 17) of subsection 1 of this section by any individual who holds a concealed carry permit issued pursuant to sections 571.101 to 571.121 shall not be a criminal act but may subject the person to denial to the premises or removal from the premise

Even if they did drop the fines on the No Gun signs I still would not spend a dime in a business wearing one knowing their true feelings they have expressed...............................jmho.

Are there any plans this legislative session to get rid of the 500 dollar fine for the 'no gun' signs?  We would have it pretty good here with our handgun carry permits if the 'no gun' sign law was modified to remove the fine for people with permits.

  It basically clarifies what is already the law.  If you're in the business of selling guns you get a license.   For example, those guys you see at every single gun show buying and selling guns who always have tables in the same spot.  They're going to have to get a license as they are obviously "in the business".

I hope you have some source of combustion air for that heater, even though it's supposed to shut itself off when it detects insufficient oxygen.  I wouldn't trust my life to something a heater is supposed to do.

Update:     FedEx just dropped the pistol back off at my office.  I shipped it to them with the pistol and magazines only.  They sent it back with a Glock tupperware box, complete with cleaning brush etc.. According to the invoice they replaced both magazines, the slide stop, the trigger bar, trigger housing and ejector.  I will report back once we can get it to the range.  

I wouldn't replace the motor, I'd have it repaired/rewound. It will cost you far less than a new motor. Look for electric motor repair shops in your area.

I'd be pissed too.  You buy Glock for reliability.  If you wanted something that can be ammo picky and unreliable you could get some fancy 1911 and then you'd at least have something that's aesthetically pleasing to look at while you're clearing malfunctions.  LOL!
