Ring have arrived, proper optic installed. *Pardon the mess on the bed. We’re packing for a trip to the lake.*

I wanted to build a Shughart M-14 because if you’re gonna have one, it might as well be one modeled off the one used by one of the baddest men to wield it. I started with this M-14 clone from Bula Defense. Mounted an ARMS-18 optics rail and an Aimpoint CompM. I then acquired a surplus M-14 fiberglass stock. The army boys sure do love their duct tape. Once I got it stripped down, it was time to paint! As it sits now, it’s in what I refer to as the “movie configuration” ad it’s similar to what was used in the Black Hawk Down film. The CompM will end up coming off and being used on a retro AR build using the original hi-rise optic mount (carry handle gang gang). As of now there are a couple of bits that are either on the way, or requiring a little detailed work to mount. (Waiting on rings for my Aimpoint 5000 and the AIM-1/D needs a tape switch fabricated for it.) Updates to follow as the build is adjusted/completed.

I think there's an outbreak of LTEM too. LOST THEIR EVERLOVING MINDS!

Pretty sure you need a proper battle rifle...

December 31, 1981. My very young self had a 3rd row seat to ZZ Top in the Mid-South Coliseum. Joan Jett started the show. Good times.

The snowball started going down hill this week as far as vaccinations go.

You are not the only one. It would appear there are two of us. You eat an elephant one bite at a time. I expect TFA sees this as a good way to raise funds as much as anything. I am, however, pleased with the TFA for getting this done. I would encourage any Tennessee gun enthusiast who isn’t a member to join.

I doubt that was the ambien...

I like this a lot.

Hello. My guy at Knox Tactical has retired and moved to Colorado. So I'm looking for someone to install a set of Meprolights in the CZ 75 P01 that I recently purchased from another member. Thanks for any help if anyone knows someone good around Knoxville or surrounding areas.

suum cuique

Pretty sure our whole family had it for about week and a half. I was pretty down with it. Chest and head congestion. Ended up with sinus infection. Of course clinic did the Rona test and of course it was negative. Kids and adults both had pretty significant symptoms

On a probably unrelated note, I’m hearing several reports locally of an outbreak of RSV. I thought that mainly affected small children, but these are pretty much all adults. Weird times.

Biden to require all federal workers (and contractors) be vaccinated or tested weekly. Start paying $100 to everybody else to get inoculated. Things are getting real interesting. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-federal-workers-vaccines

When I was a kid, I had one of the Man From Uncle toy pistols with the rifle accessories. It used a separate metal magazine that you loaded a roll of caps into and them inserted it into the gun like the real thing.

I've got a LCP Max and wow, just wow! Check out the new Federal .380 Hydra-Shok Deep ammo. Nothing else compares. It's really hard to get but will be more available. Federal is really trying to crank them out.

Might as well be. And until last November, we were maintaining two houses. Pretty laid back these days.

I find I have to email photos to myself on my iPhone so I can reduce the photo size from several MB to around 80-120kb to post photos directly.

I searched last night and these are available for around $40. found them in tungsten and stainless from Amazon and the Knife Center. WWII models around $200 on ebey

Hey all. Just logged on after not being on for a few days. I ended up purchasing a new Vortex Diamondback 4-12x. I appreciate all the offers.

He was my favorite too. I remember at one time I had a Man from UNCLE toy kit that had credentials, gun, and a few other odds and ends...man, I loved that!!

Fixin to bugged the crap out of my college room mate. He was from New Jersey and we went to college in Texas. Of course we all Thought he was nuts when he wanted a pepperoni pie. We were all like the restaurant is called Pizza Hut not Pie Hut. Lol.

You are not far off. My wife did some strange things when she was on it. She is not a big fan of feet. When she was on ambien she would get up at night and give me foot massages while Clipping my toenails. She would not remember a thing and swore that I was lying until I filmed her one night. She stopped taking it not long after. Ambien is a weird drug.

Well bless your little heart.

Well, hell. Not to detract from Dusty but Ron Popeil shoved off today as well. Ronco. Greatest TV pitchman in history.

Oh I really wasn't joking.

Have mercy. RIP.

We put up 23 quarts of corn today. Mrs. Tenn wants to put up more Saturday.

I know growing up we raised more than we could eat with next to no upkeep. We have cucumber and watermelon close. Does it bother those? I had something bore into my ornamental pumpkins last year. One day good, next full of tiny holes. Did not seem to mess with the vines though.

The squash borer... one day they look fine, then they turn yellow and die in a day or two. Usually takes asparagus several years to yield enough to make meal.

I ended up with a lot of old 22short, 22LR and some 22Long from my father in law. I don’t know if they are still good, but the boxes are cool. Remington, Western, Peter’s and Sears and Roebuck I just wish his 22LR revolver and old Marlin 22 Rifle hadn’t been stolen some years ago.

A neat project you have there! When I turned 18 in the summer of 1977, an M1A would be my very first 4473 purchase. That first year introduction price was $379. Spare mags in new millitary foil wrappers were $2.50 a pop at Numrich and everything to fill that hole above the trigger was about another 14 bucks. You just needed a horse shoe extension hanging down from the receiver. Ha..ha, don't ask me how I know. I had alot of fun with that rifle back then. It was SN 006022. Problem was it would group poorly after getting warm. National matching the bedding points was not a easy job and would need a do over every so often. Back in the mid 80's I sold it to fund a Springfield SAR48. The FAL is more heat friendly for poking close holes. Good Luck with your retro.

For a simple pocket gun, the original LCP is hard to beat. Essentially dehorned with reasonable rounds makes it lighter. All of these high round capacity guns make my pants sag

Am I the only one that feels like some are making the permitless carry law out to be worse than it is? I know it's not perfect but it still seems like a huge step in the right direction. I am hopeful they clean it up in the future.

I strongly suspect that were his antics continuing, even the half-assed permitless carry we now have would not have gotten through.

Just don’t do it in Brentwood. Please.

There are many people in this country that carry guns anywhere they want everyday and are not restricted at all by what the gun laws are. They probably number in the millions. They also commit armed robbery, murder, rape, sell drugs, rob banks, burglarize homes, jack cars and trucks, commit home invasions and such like. They will continue to carry guns anywhere they want everyday and will not be restricted at all by what the gun laws are. They probably number in the millions.

The sooner you stop believing that Republicans care about your natural rights, including the right to self-defense, the sooner you’ll stop being shocked when they don’t act in your benefit.

No doubt about that and there’s not a thing that can be done to change it.

I used to be as country as cornbread around some yankees I used to work with. Freak'em plumb out. I think Seattle made that list on video too.

Yeah. We know a couple here that woke up in each others' underwear. Weird drug.

I hate to admit it but I did consider it. My feet had never looked so good.

Tell the truth, you kept some in reserve and slip her some when you’re feet are sore, don’t ya?
