That guy knew exactly what he was doing and deserves the harshest sentence they can give him. This is exactly the type of thing we DON'T want happening at gun shows.

So some know I am heavily into 22 Benchrest. I also do most of my own barrel work, etc on my guns. I won a Douglas barrel blank at a match and it isn't what I normally use on my competition guns, so I decided to make a customized 10/22 since I had one laying around. Actually, this has zero Ruger 10/22 parts. The only part I used from the donor gun was the action and it was from a T/C22 which is just a Ruger clone, but I liked it as it had the pic rail built in. Anyway, here is the rest of the story. Receiver was internally threaded to 3/4-16 so that the barrel would mount like my other custom BR actions. I threaded and chambered the .920 Douglas Barrel to fit and chambered it based on being in the 10/22 platform which basically means it has to be a little larger chamber with more taper for feeding. This is still way tighter than a factory chamber, even a Bentz. I purposely did not go too loose as this is built for accuracy and precision which it is does very good at. What this means is that it can be a bit finicky with certain ammo's and feeding. I only use SK or better (Lapua normally) and it runs pretty good. It may take some trial and error to see what ammo you have that it likes. This is a bench gun, not a walking around gun as the barrel is pretty long and heavy. It has a Kidd Bolt, springs, and 3oz/3oz trigger. It also has their rear action mount that creates a second action screw into the stock. The stock has been inletted and bedded to fit. The stock is a Boyd's At-One. The scope on it is not priced with it. Price is $1000. As I got the barrel for free and did all of the work, just the parts are worth more than this. So why am I selling? I'm just not a 10/22 guy. If you like 10/22's and accuracy, this is a pretty good opportunity to pick up something that will outshoot most factory bolt actions with ease. Pickup in Franklin, Columbia, or Murfreesboro areas as I am in between all three. Any questions, just let me know.

S&W M&P9 M2.0 Compact, Optic Ready, with a Holosun 507c X2 mounted on a CHPWS plate. All were purchased new, zeroed, and have sat in the safe since. Probably 100rds or less fired. Includes 2 factory 15rd magazines, box, a total of 4 grip inserts, and the factory optic plates, lock, manual, etc. $650 FTF in the Tri-Cities (Bristol, JC, Kingsport) area. I can add a Dark Star Gear AIWB holster (grey, RH) for $50. Also have several new, unfired 15rd factory mags for $25ea.

I guess it depends a lot in what weight is in it, but seems pretty high to me as well. I would probably opt for a more traditional side bag, especially with a second rider.

Sure looks that way! Hard to believe this is entrapment. Too many guns over several different dates. I believe he knew what he was doing.

I have a touring bike, and had like 50lbs in the tour pack. Load it up and try it around the neighborhood see how it feels. If the front feels light put all the guns and ammo in the front bag!!

That sounds fair if you’re happy with what they provide. What other fees are there? Yearly? Buy/sell? Percentage of gain? I fired my last advisor after about the third time she failed to do what I asked her to do. You’d think she’d be telling me what to do. Anyway, I moved everything to Fidelity and do it myself. It gets done like I want it. Very fair and low fees. I’ve made a ton more money since I told her to go pound sand. It takes a bit of effort, reading, and self confidence on your part, but no one gives a damn about your future like you do!!! I also do my own taxes. LOL!

Sounds like they've updated the website if it looks 2005ish. Lol

LPVOs don’t generally have any shorter eye relief than a regular scope. No reason it shouldn’t work if you are interfacing with the rifle correctly. That’s not to say you should put one on though. Leave that poor enfield alone.

Just finished this 8" Chef's knife for one of my neighbors I think they will be happy. The steel is Damasteel RWL-34 stainless. Knife is 13 1/2" long, 2" wide blade and.100 of an inch thick. Tempered to 58-59Rc. Razor sharp edge, used it last night to chop up some veggies for dinner. I have to make sure it cuts! Handle is double black Micarta, nicely shaped to fit the hand, should last forever. Knife case is kydex. Just started some hunting knives, will have a few for sale on the forum. Season will be here soon. All work done by me in my shop, as always.

I have a used sig p320 AXG scorpion with Romeo pro 1 optics 3 magazines , sig matching knife and all factory goodies I have fired the weapon with 5 rounds to zero in the red dot and it has sat ever since. asking 1500 or best offer

I used to know a competitive shooter who would loan a new gun to the indoor range that sponsored him as a rental gun for a few months. He wanted it all nice and broken in and he was fine with someone else doing it for him.

It doesn't matter which side of the state you are on, it always seems to be the case doesn't it? I see all kinds of good stuff over in Nashville. lol

Oh I wouldn’t hesitate to carry it. I just have others I like better. I’m not a Taurus snob. I hike with a 627 Tracker .357. The ones I’ve had, have been good guns. This is my second G2. I also have TX22 that a blast to shoot!

My name is Tom and I have lived in the Clarksville area since 2015. I'm a 14 year US Army OIF/OEF veteran and I finished my time as a soldier in 2018. I'm currently a student at Sonoran Desert Institute and I really joined so I could get a feel on some of the most common problems gun owners have in the state and what ideas would be the best for my future shop (not advertising, it's not named yet nor does it have a location and I will certainly register as a vendor here when I do). During my time in the Army I was lucky enough to be an armorer in a mechanized Infantry battalion and that was ultimately what sparked my interest in firearms to begin with. Over the years that interest faded until I made a friend who runs a very professional training course not too far from where I live (not advertising, I didn't say the name of business nor the exact location). Ultimately, attending his course several times rekindled my interest in firearms and I doubled down when I realized there was a degree program for that exact sort of thing and frankly, I want to make a living doing what I love which is building custom builds and making repairs. Notable Firearms In My Collection: Largest: S&W .500 Magnum Performance Center Edition Smallest: Ruger LCP Max Longest: Highly Customized 30-06 on an MDTTAC chassis 1st Favorite: My first AR that I built on a G&G Gunworks lower receiver 2nd Favorite: My Canik I bought after my last deployment Most Desired That I Can't Actually Acquire: Browning M2 HB Most In Need Of Cleaning: The AK. It's always the AK.

I went and early voted today. This has become a habit for me as I find it physically uncomfortable to deal with crowds and long lines. The up coming Aug 4th election is both a primary and in many counties a general election. I feel its more important to vote in the primaries than it is to vote in the General Election come fall. Let's face it, in the general election most of us will simply vote for the candidate with a "R" or "D" by their name. By voting in the primary election you have a much better chance of getting a qualified candidate for the general election. I truly believe that the current crop of idiots and clowns in Congress these days is the result of people not voting in primaries. The wrong people end up winning and we suffer for it.

I have all my IRA and Roth money along with a shared taxable account in VanGuard and all my wife's IRA and Roth money in Fidelity. Both very good companies and easy to transfer money into their system. Just call them and they will talk you through it and send you all the forms you need to fill out. I choose to split our funds even though we consider it all our money not his and hers because of the all eggs one basket rule. I have considered combining them several times but haven't bothered and if for some reason one has a computer problem or something else that locks me out for a time we have plenty in the other to get by on.

If he willingly broke the law, prosecute him! I’ll not stick up for someone who does not respect the rule of law. If this was entrapment, I rescind my previous statement and call for the ATF agents to be prosecuted. I’ve witnessed both through the years at gun shows. Neither are good.

Just imagine what big brother will asked to be done? Bob is driving to much on the weekend, cut him off at 2 hours. Mary is driving to far to get a better price on food, cut her off at 45 mins.

I think the Charge 1%, that sound right? Is it very hard to get hooked up with Fidelity? I know very little about investing ( except for guns) and would be afraid I’d lose my butt. Although o was doing got with my 401k at work until Biden.What few choices we had to put our money in , I’d just look at their 1 , 5 , and 10 yr track records and pick from that.

You're killing me GM Making Just 12 Electric Hummers a Day Despite Having 77,000 Orders (businessinsider.com) yeah 12.

This is one of those weeks I’m glad I stayed in the stock market.

Check out the MAM knives.Very similar to Opinel except most of them are liner lock and the handles are flat.Light and very sharp.

Friend of mine swapped almost the entire interior out of a dealer test drive car many years ago. It was a higher trim level than his car.

Great work. Shades of Sr Airman Andy Brown and the Fairchild AFB Shooting

A lot cheaper that way too.

Maybe I should have said "frequent participators ".

I talked to him a couple of weeks ago to chat about something we were both watching on television He seems to be doing just fine.

True, and it use to be problematic. It’s a good example of a need driving positive change. Today scanning interfaces are dirt cheap and readily available. No different than buying any other tool you’d need. I’ll never argue things aren’t to complex, they are. But they do come with a seldom recognized sizable benefit. That thing we hate can also tell us what’s wrong (usually). Sure its got dozens of things your car from the 60’s didn’t have to go wrong, but plenty of things made in the last 40 years (the majority of us) could benefit from the upside in time / cost savings compared to testing or swapping modules/parts when it can’t easily be isolated. There are some open source programs that allow you to alter configuration in onboard systems. And for those committed to never seeing a Ford dealer, a programming interface is available along with Fords actual technical software used by dealerships for full diagnostic and programming ability. Limited use licenses run as little as $50. That’s just an example i’m familiar with, could be makes as well. Times have changed. Its more a matter of keeping up with them if one chooses. Admittedly, I choose to, though i’m not always thrilled to do it.

Since when did we have "normal" members?

You may end up looking for a place out side of Nashville to find what your looking for....JMHO

I just wish they'd show as much care in disclosing who their sponsors are. Politics should be like NASCAR. I want to look at her blue suit and see the names and logos of corporations and foreign governments that are putting money in her bank account.

For 9mm the powder dipper will be just fine as long as you don't play in the max range, which IMO doesn't need to be that hot. The uniflow is good, have a couple, as well as one of the chargemasters, they work great, but I used the Lee perfect powder measure for years without an issue, and the new ones are even better. I drop powder (volume) for my pistol cartridges weighing one now and then, but weigh each of my rifle rounds, because I have usually developed a specific load which I want to stick closely to.

Yeah . . . because the owner of an ICE car would never be told "Your car needs a new engine" or "Your car needs a new transmission". Batteries are more now than a new engine/trans but battery costs are continuing to fall. Five to ten years from now I expect they'll reach parity cost with an ICE replacement. And with battery packs expected to still retain 90% of their charge after 200,000 miles, their replacement cycle will likely be as good or better than an ICE engine or trans.

"...Hes not exactly worried about company repercussions, because any man in his right mind would rather forfeit his job than his life...." Or as a friend of mine who is not nearly as diplomatic as you once said, "I'd much rather be alive and looking for a job, than to be a dead guy who followed orders."

We did a variation called "bailing out". You get as high as you can, then flip your feet up over your head and (hopefully) land on your feet below the swing. No broken bones that I recall, and lordie! we did it without helmets and elbow or knee pads.

Sadly they finally took out the old swing set and tall metal slides from the elementary school near my house. Remember burning the out of yourself on those metal slides in the summer.

Same here. Those old swing sets were stupid tall with seats like two feet off the ground. Could really catch some air when you got going and jumped out.

I found my kid a nice 07 GMC truck here on this forum for a very fair price. 40k miles, and just like new! He likes the truck, but hates the manual windows. LOL! I was married for years before I ever had a vehicle with power windows. I’ve replaced several power windows motor assemblies. I’ve never had a problem with hand cranks that grease wouldn’t fix.

Monthly subscriptions are where the vehicle companies are hoping the gold is. They will be very aggressive in this area to recoup the costs of converting plants and supply chains to the EV side. Alongside and after that, it'll be to prop up the share price and distribute dividends, or keep a growth story alive. What's worse is that 25% accepting is going to creep up as generations shift. Gen Z and Millennials are used to subscription models for plenty of things as a normal part of their life. Gen X has prefected the art of griping and moving on. Microsoft Office becoming a subscription instead of a new version you could ride out buying every other release is a great example, your smartphone being amortized as part of your monthly service plan is a other. The C-Suites aren't waiting for the boomers to exit gracefully before they flip this switch. They don't need as many people willing to endure a subscription model as some may think, and 25% now isn't a bad metric for where the technology is. The ones who hate it will be drug along kicking and screaming for lack of better options once they have between 50-55% compliance. Griping in a survey is different from voting with your wallet. The future has a lot of cool stuff we haven't even conceptualized yet. It will also have the same style of merchants finding creative, often insidious ways to get you to fork over money to them just like it's been since antiquity.

When I worked at Range USA in Memphis I was their Armorer- And can say first hand that they never sold any of their rentals- We kept them until they quite literally were worn out- I can attest to what firearms at that time held up and which didn't- Most of the handguns and rifles had 1000's of rounds expended with out much down time- I can also lay to rest the idea that AR15's are not reliable- We also had a Taurus G2 that had never but once broke-extractor issue-1000's of rounds later- We had a Bersa Thunder 9 that couldn't be killed- So until a person actually works in the industry and see's first hand what works and doesn't-it's false to make claims of brands that are No Good- I would imagine that the reason most Range's don't sell their old stock would be to take responsibility for a wore out gun that could become a liability-

I know you can hunt / camp on ANY undeveloped TVA land. Not sure how they feel about setting up targets. I'm sure they would not like you leaving any trash, so I would pick up everything. I recently discovered that there is a tract of land just up the road from me that is great for camping. I see folks parked at the gate all the time during hunting season. I assumed you had to get permission. I called and they said the undeveloped land is available for use to the public without any additional permission for recreation including hunting and camping. Here are the rules. You determine if they apply to target shooting. I think at the very least, I would call them: https://tva.gov/Environment/Environmental-Stewardship/Land-Management/Rules-for-Use-of-TVA-Public-Lands You can find the maps of the land here: https://tva.gov/Environment/Recreation/Undeveloped-Recreation-Areas
