Some of these gun companies need to cut distributors and ship directly to FFL’s. Distributors add no value to retail customers. This is the IT age; we should be able to order directly from the manufacturer’s website and have them delivered to our FFL. Local dealers would also be able to order guns for us and be able to give us a date instead of being at the mercy of a distributor.

Here’s one of my Long range bench rifles I call the General Lee. The action is a Bat M Dual Port with a 1.450 dia barrel that’s 32” I have two barrels one chambered in a 300 WSM and the other a 6 BRA. Scope is a NF 12-42 BR model and the trigger is a Bix & Andy set right at 1 oz. this entire package weighs in at 82# and will shoot sub 2” at 1K

The SCOTUS has made it clear they will give a lot of discretion to the states on how and where guns are carried. They have also made it clear that arguing an AR isn’t an assault weapon doesn’t hold water. We need to remain focused on our state laws. Expanding Federal gun laws is a terrible idea.

Got these today. 1040 rounds of 7.62X39 for 50 bucks plus the two plano cans I think thats like .4 cents a round..... .22 prices! Yay me!

Another HUGE problem all of the "old guard" gun manufacturers have is thinking THEY know what the customer wants without listening to those customers. They have the "take it or leave it" attitude and now a lot of us are leaving it because they are no longer worth the asking price. One thing I will say about Savage is they do listen and do give the customers what they want. Ruger is another company listening to its customers and offering new, innovative products customers want. Remington quality has not improved despite all the modernization and customers are noticing. There are a lot of gun smiths who make a living fixing quality issues that Remington should be doing. Looking at the Remington website they have a Magpul edition R700 that has an MSRP of $1,175. Figure a street price of $900. They take a <$400 rifle and add a $250 stock then try to tell their customers it is worth almost double. That tells me that they are looking for customers who are buying a Remington because it has the Remington name and not because it is a value or because it is a gun of higher quality.

Nice pistols there KahrMan

Nothing a hacksaw can't fix

I want to go shopping with KahrMan!!!!!!!!!!

We need the ladies looking halfway decent during the apocalypse. Preservation of the species and all that (and keeping me watching, lol) Carl with his stupid hat and long hair needs to be et by zombies.

Congratulations KahrMan. Those are some fine looking wheel guns. I picked up some nice stuff last week and several more yesterday. Need to get time to take pics and share.

82 pounds? Is that right? Nice rig!!!

I so want to hate you out of pure ENVY! Beautiful scores!

Looks like I am going to have to finally invest in that mobile tracking system. What kind of car do you drive again?

That's my little secret...

Here are some of the guns I picked up last weekend.

Dated: June 20, 2016

I don’t know the weight, but I tried a new spring with ss rod and it didn’t help me. The only thing that helped was going back to the factory trigger. I kept my g22 just to have a 40 host but i can’t run any trigger but the factory. I doubted my gunsmith buddy when he told me to switch back, he was correct though.

This was handed down from my favorite uncle. 1892 in .25-20. He purchased it new on a trip in Colorado. I believe he said he paid $25 for it at an auction; a hardware store was closing down. I thnk he was 13 years old. He named it Schatze, a german word for sweetheart. Matter of fact all three of these guns were his.

The gun market is going through a two pronged revolution... The minor part is the dip in sales with President Trump in power. That can end in as soon as three years, and will ebb and flow with power changes in Washington. Companies need to be ready to ride those out and think about investing the dividends from the good years to carry them through the bad. The major part that is here to stay is how consumers are getting pickier, and companies are having to rely on more than the multiple generations of brand name loyalty. Remington is finding themselves chasing the market (the RP9 makes that clear). Instead of leading where they have the expertise to redefine the industry standard, bolt action rifles and shotguns. I want Remington to survive and thrive in their third century, but they need to want to earn it.

It was like our own little bowl game....the toilet bowl. A game for last place. It's sad when you look at it that way. Sad for both teams. Look at it this way. They were playing for last place, and Vandy couldn't even take that title.

Glad to make the match, great weather! Always like the house stages!

The RP9 is not selling because it is an ugly gun. I think most gun owners are just as worried about how a gun looks. The RP9, if you squint just a little bit, looks a lot like a Highpoint and we all know owning one is like riding a moped, it's cool until your friends see you.

Here's a few.

VP9/40 and VP9SK or P30SK

Got a dick and a Dick Special so I have no need for plastic crap so neither would be my best advice .
