Just received a vintage Savage 340 30-30! Here's what makes it special. This is my grandfather's rifle he used to put food on his family and neighbors families tables in the rural Ozark mountains of northern Arkansas. My grandfather died at the age of 28 from what is believed to be an aneurysm, not too long after returning from Korea. My dad was only 5 years old and this rifle was one of the few possessions my grandfather had that my father was able to keep through the years, house fires, and normal life issues. My grandfather purchased the rifle through the only general store in the little town they lived in, probably from a Belknap catalog. I do have the catalog as well! Probably purchased sometime in late 1950 or early 1951. Which is pretty cool as well since the 340 came out in 1950. Also have the original box of ammo that my grandfather had at the time of his death with 4 shells left in the box! Gun isn't a high value gun but it's priceless to me. To hold in my hands the tool the man I never got to meet, used to feed his family. The gun my father used to kill his prized mounted 10 pointer the day I was born ... It doesn't get any better than that.

I wonder how many liberal heads are spinning knowing that "colonial" and "plantation" pipelines are serving their fossil fuel needs.

Saw this on another gun site, had to post

He's planning on finally being able to trade for .22lr.

Your knives have shipped this morning, enjoy Folks!

Because the Media stopped doing journalism years ago and now just generates contents to suit agendas and attract eyeballs to pages. I hate them.

Have we really made it this far in the thread and no one blamed it on Obama? That sly bastard has all of you fooled Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I watch people kinda freak out over a potential gas interruption I just SMH at what would happen in a real emergency.

I just figured everything is still Bush's fault, so I didn't bother.

Artificial means like the media.

Markets are a wonderful thing when allowed to work naturally instead of being manipulated by artificial means.

Yeah. You said it better than I did. I'd prefer it to be available at $5 per gallon than unavailable at $1. Yesterday, I saw a guy pulling a trailer with a lawnmower, pressure sprayer, and every gas can he could find at the pump filling it all with gas. He was convinced there'd be no more gas for the foreseeable future. This is the problem. Not a broken pipeline.

I'd prefer gas prices rise to the level that would ensure availability rather than remain the same and not be available anywhere. Your mileage may vary.

I am perpetually offended by liberals!

I thought this was a football thread.

I contacted the Friends of Sycamore Shoals this morning and here's the answer they provided about time-to-production: We REALLY appreciate your support and that of the people who follow your TNGunOwners site! As to the process once we hit 1,000 pre-orders, our information is that 4 to 6 months would be the period for final approval, visibility testing, production, etc., before distribution. We've got everything ready to go on our end, so as soon as we reach 1,000 we'll turn it in. We're hoping for 4 (or less) rather than 6. If you renew your registration sticker in November, for example, whatever time is left when you get your Gadsden tag will carry over. Nobody will lose what they've already paid for. Feel free to share that with others. We think that we'll hit the 1,000 mark by some point in October. We're averaging about 25 pre-orders per week, and at this moment, we have only 81 left to go! Thanks!!!

This is how I buy of sell guns. Ask for or show my HCP or TN DL. Exchange cash for gun and walk away. If they do not have a HCP I ask if they are a prohibited person. If it is a complete stranger and not from TGO I do a few more things. I write their number on my hand, I also write their plate number on my hand and I generally audio record the transaction. No way I would ever give someone all that information. You are right, there are bad people out there but with their copy of the BoS they can do even more damage. I cannot think of a valid reason for that information. LE will already have all of that by the time they come knocking on your door. I would think becoming a victim of identity theft is a more realistic threat than getting in trouble because some jackwagon decides to break the law using a gun you sold to them.

His sign is no more offensive than the free speech that allows the (some) Black Lives Matter movement to chant "Pig in a Blanket, Fry 'em like bacon". That free speech is accepted by Liberals because they don't want to offend the "down trodden". His sign is thought provoking, because it is a play on the (s)BLM movement, and it drives home a gun control issue. He tied the first and second amendment together in one nice soundbite.

That's the problem today....we have more panty waists then men anymore. It used to take a lot to offend most people but now it seems to be a national pastime.

It was real good. Kinda like roast beef. It was a little dry , but I figured it would be . I sliced some up for supper and poured some white gravy over it with some roasted potatoes. It was a great supper .

The real reason for the gas shortage...

What, exactly, does offended feel like?

They can step outside the Police role on this. Do they think a person should go to trial to determine if they were justified in shooting someone that was pointing a BB gun at them in a robbery or burglary? I don’t and I absolutely believe shooting anyone that is trying to make you believe they are pointing a gun at you justifies the use of deadly force. Whether it is a Police Officer, HCP holder or citizen. And whether it is a real gun, empty gun, BB gun, or anything else being threatened as a deadly weapon.

Well, it's by the county for testing and the problems with deleting are, in no real particular order... Warranty EPA can (and apparently will) fine you if they catch you Dealerships won't take one on trade if it's been deleted (see previous)

No, the fewer diesels at the pumps the better.

The panic is on. Drive by a gas station if you don't believe me.

So when i got home this week from being on the road i went to check my game cam in my field and had a ton of pics. I knew i had some bucks because i always have new fawns, but i could never get any good pics of them. I finally got them. and one of most of the fawns.

Come on now folks. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/09/13/black-rifles-matter-sign-draws-complaints-from-tourists-in-maine-town.html

I have several of the Bushnell TRS-25s on various weapons and have been pleased with them. I have other optics as well that cost a good deal more but bang for the buck, the TRS-25 is a decent red dot.

I set up a full frame 320 w an optic, apex trigger and stainless rod, awesome pistol and light, more muzzle rise than my vp9 shooting 115 gr and 147 gr 9, but it runs really smooth. Matter o fact it ran some crummy 9 ammo I had that the sw perf center would jam on... Great pistol !

Well hell, what do I know. Just put a Keltec P-32 in lay-a-way at Harvey's. It's a used Gen 1 gun in black. with a pouch and extra mag. Got it for $169.99+ tax. Looks practically brand new. Guess I am back in the KelTec business.

I want to say thanks to everyone who put this together. It was an absolutely great time! Everybody was really great and the selection of full auto guns was awesome. Although the mini gun was really cool I think my favorite was the PKM. Also glad to see Kahrman there, made it even better.

It Looks amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Actually, in the executive order signed by Gov. Haslam, all he did was raise the amount of hours allowed on the road for truckers so that fuel trucks can increase their delivery timetables. There was no mention of pricing. There was talk about not allowing "unconscionable prices" from one of the other states though, so that's maybe what you're thinking of. http://lmgcorporate.com/wsmv/documents/ExecutiveOrder56.pdf

Not to put words in your mouth, but if I understand our point...panic buying would stop at some price. That would leave plenty of gas for those that truly need it in the short term. By the time that price became overly burdensome, the crisis would be over.

Pretty much sums up my attitude.

I thought once a state of emergency was declared gas prices were locked?? Our Governor did that about 6PM yesterday.

People are free to cut their vacations short and leave town early or not even go there. Although I doubt that has happened because of that sign. However, city government violating his freedom of speech without legal cause would open the city to a lawsuit. Of course it is; and that’s fine.

Bushnell TRS-25? Good red dot that can usually be found for around $75 on sale.

I think the ability to get back and forth to work would be a real emergency to many. Don’t you?

His victim picture shows he was a cuter kid than Michael Brown.

I wonder how much longer we will have to wait from the time it hits 1000 to the date of pickup. Just curious really.

FFL’s are bound by Federal law primarily and state law. A private gun sale is primarily controlled by state law. The difference in state laws, and handguns aren’t generally used for hunting would be my guess as why they did it on Federal law. But that’s just a WAG, you would have to ask them. Nothing keeps an 18 year old from having a handgun (unless its state law); it’s just the FFL’s can’t transfer it to them. As someone who joined the military at 17 during the Vietnam War; you won’t get any argument from me on how crazy it is; but it’s the law. You can sell an 18 year old resident of this state a gun; it’s legal. I choose not to. One reason is I have a C&R. And while I fully understand it’s not a license to sell, I just don’t want the possibility of any issues”. The other reason is I don’t want to risk parents coming back on me for selling junior a gun. But that’s just my personal opinion, and it may be different if I personally knew the person and knew it was okay.

Very nice looking cut of venison. I love the stuff. I've never been able to smoke any that was truly tender, adding moisture, like a can of water with sliced apples helps...but only so much. At least in my experience. Now slow roasting venison in a cast iron dutch oven? Damn right! Save us a slice will ya?

Feel really bad for the cop...

919! http://www.friendsofsycamoreshoals.org/gadsden_plate.html

Just another filter or two....and more oil.....and that DEF crap on the newer ones.

Never waste a crisis...even if you have to manufacture one.

All the officers that I have talked with have a fairly positive experience with the P320. A trusted source told me the guy who shot the demo gun after him had several failures of FTF, FTE, and failure to lock the slide back. It was determined he did not have a strong grip and also others have experienced issues with limp wristing. The most disturbing failure was a failure to reset and the rep couldn't fix it.

I'm still thinking about it. Not because of the content, but because I think a bright yellow tag may look godawful on my car.
