Sometimes it’s healthy to just take a break from things for a bit. I heard from him over the holidays, and he was doing fine.

Tell him he is missed here.

While I make jokes, TWRA is a government agency I don’t mind in the least. They perform their function well and within the revenue provided by their fees. The fact that they are self supporting by the folks who actually wish to make use of their services elevates them in my eyes on basic principles alone.

I have been wanting one of these S&W Model 29-10 44 Magnum's ever since I saw my first Dirty Harry movie. This gun has been at Guns and Ammo in Memphis for sometime. Every time I come into the store I take a look at it. Yesterday I bit the bullet and picked it up. Once I get it to the range I will give an update on how it shoots.

Hello everyone. I wanted to take a moment and show you the knives that were made by GT. My latest is the the second one down from the top. A nice Bowie.

By the way, I had 3d printed a bunch of masks when there were shortages for a number of friends/family in health care work to their spec. I have a bunch left. If anyone wants a 3d printed mask and replaceable filter I will give you one or a few for FREE I just ask that you meet me in Knoxville. The link shows specifically what they are. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4225667

We have seen so many questionable postings and had so many people show up here trying to hunt down people who weren't even TGO members because of bad deals on that site, that we started blocking their URL just to keep people from accidentally hopping over there. I see that I need to tweak the URL filter a bit more now.

I can't even count the number of times we had to ban people from coming here and stirring up drama about people on that site, who weren't even TGO members, because of bad deals. Or the occasions when we would be alerted to the fact that some scammer over there was using photos and descriptions of firearms listed for sale on TGO to post bogus ads on that site. People would Google whatever the key words were and then wind up here looking at the legit ad and raise hell with the legit ad's poster about whatever scam had happened to them on that site. It took us a few times of that happening before we totally figured it out, but after that it was a 100% block for any URLs going there. That place used to be a complete cesspool. I can only assume it still is.

Here is a pic 1911alltheway sent me the other day of the sheath he made for this one. I'll post up some more pics when I get this one back from him, he really did a great job on this one.

Yeah, all you need to do is visit some of our surrounding states to see how good we’ve actually got it with the TWRA. We’ve gotten some world class fisheries under their watch that didn’t exist 20 years ago.

This looks like a perfect vehicle these days.

Exactly! Virtue signaling is our highest virtue.

Buddy of mine as that Smith scandium/titanium snub nose 44mag. The real fun is to load a few 44spl and 1 or 2 44mag and give the cylinder a spin. Each trigger pull is a surprise.

If I didn't have two of them, I wouldn't let this one go.

Usually they are. I found this quite odd. I expect a lot of them are working from home due to COVID.

Colt 1911 Series 70 in excellent condition and very few marks especially considering the gun was manufactured almost 50 years ago! I have two of these so this gorgeous Pony can be added to your collection! $1,000

Wow, never knew about the scammers, I do remember those complaining about deals gone wrong over there though.

That's an awesome RAOK !

But it makes you look like you care. That’s the important thing, right?

I remember when the site in question was open for anyone to browse or maybe even post. It was quite entertaining...a couple of steps down from A-list.

Typical Face coverings do nothing to prevent the spread of a virus 5 microns in size average. Especially the cloth covers they sell. Getting sick is as easy as exposing any amount of active virus to a mucus membrane. The greatest risk is contacting an infected surface and then contacting your face either directly or by proxy. From what I've seen the past few months the average person has no clue how to use gloves to prevent cross contamination.

I will continue to do what I've been doing. I'm out in it most days and there are those without masks and then those with masks that are clearly compromised and should not be out in public but yet there they are. Regulations, mandates, laws, it all pi$$es me off. Make no mistake, this is a pecker pulling contest with other cities in the state. I predict Sullivan and or Hamilton County will follow suit shortly. Got to keep up with the Jones's.

Us old guys need something to fill our evenings with.

I've got a 6" Model 29-8. Its a classic all right. Every gun owner should at least experience one. Honestly, I very rarely shoot it. For big bores I much prefer the .44 Special and .45 Colt. I'm just not a fan of all that buck and roar of the big magnum. The only reason I have it is because it was left to me when a dear friend passed away. Believe it or not, that cannon was his EDC.

Very nice set you have there. There are a few of us that have a “COLLECTION” of his knifes.

Colt collectors are welcome to correct me but believe the Series 70 is a 5".

I love this pistola..! Got his brother reposing in honored rest in the gun safe...Loaded n ready of course, to repel borders n dispatch malefactors. Y'all need ta understand that this guy is rare... The old colts from this era are 90 % blue / 10 % nickel. Nickel Colts are a rarity. GLWS... leroy

I’m betting there is a disproportionate amount of liberal/progressive/political in NY but generally speaking, you’re correct. They appreciate quality engineering no matter what form it takes.

Sadly, I think we've all done similar things. I know I have. Can't really even tell what the worst was. But I did walk away from a consecutive serial number set of Smith revolvers once. With my wife standing there telling me to buy them.

And reloading supplies

Dennis.. RE:... This... "... .This is just a personal opinion and I'm not disparaging the Big Dots. I tried them on one of my handguns when that 'fad' was at its peak. The lollipop system goes against my 60 year shooting experience of regular sights. I'm growing to dislike the accumulation of all these birthday candles and have to wear bi-focal's to see halfway decent..." I had some of the same problem... I found the " trick " wuz to draw the center of the bead down into the " vee " for a" fine bead " as the old timers would say... I found it worked like a charm. leroy

Here's a good explanation of how N95 masks work...

It’s not rocket science. The things are designed to cover mouth AND nose. I’ve seen plenty of ignorant people running around wearing masks with their noses hanging out and it’s just further proof to me that we are only as strong as our weakest link....and there is no shortage of those.

I could use some help picking out a fish finder for the front....and probably some help running the power cord back to the battery.

There is massive overlap between gun and watch guys.

Very nice gun I cannot believe this hasnt sold yet.

I bought a new orient komasu, or mako iii depending on where you buy it. Orient is owned by seiko, and the komasu is taking the place of the SKX. The sop in New York that I bought it from wanted a picture for their Facebook so I sent them this lol!!

@FUJIMO is the only one that I know that uses the term frequently. Maybe it is just his age showing.... Not that by any other name are these guys any better. Making a buck is one thing. The guys up here that do it the most are a$$hats.

Beware of anyone who addresses you as neighbor, lol.
