This another one of my lever guns that I never shoot. Browning B-92 in .357 magnum. I do have the original box with this one. It is in fantastic shape and is a gorgeous little lever gun. $1800

It depends. Most people think the law is black and white. In reality it's shades of gray and green.

Up for sale is a rifle I never shoot. It is a Browning 71 in 348 Winchester. Of course this is Brownings version of the Winchester 71. These were only made for 2 years, ‘86-‘87. Factory ammo is very expensive but luckily I have a bunch of ammo to go with the rifle. I think I still have the box for the rifle but I am not positive. I have 120 rounds of factory ammo. 40 rounds are new manufacture and 60 rounds are vintage manufacture. Most vintage ammo sells for $140 per box or higher. I also have 220 rounds of reloads. I am selling the reloads as components. So if you reload it gives you a lot of brass and bullets to use. $2500 for everything.

I have a 1965 Colt .357 python revolver with the 6" barrel in blue steel for sale. To my knowledge, this gun has never been fired. The only obvious alterations from original is where my grandad stamped his name on the butt of the grips which are aftermarket smooth grips. Since the same year make and model of this pistol is selling on gunbroker.com for around $3,500, I'm asking $2,750. I'm in Chattanooga, TN.

Here is another rifle that I never shoot. A Marlin 1894 Cowboy in 45 Colt with the octagon barrel. I do not have the box. I am the second owner. It has been shot some but not by me. Appears to have been used very little. $1500

Also remember, for those of us living in TN, SBRs and SBSs are no longer illegal according to the state. Unless you live in one of the liberal cities you don’t have any real concern about local, or state law enforcement enforcing the federal aspect….unless you are doing something else wrong. Similar to CA and CO in regards to drugs, and several states in regards to illegal immigration.

"Free" SBR registration means they don't care about the money and they don't want them to be illegal, so they must just want us to register them so they know who owns all the guns. That scares me way worse than the penalty for not registering.

I sold my 2017 F150 King Ranch Crew Cab and no longer need the safe I installed in the back under the seat. Super heavy duty full length safe will hold several long guns, multiple handguns, or other valuables. Quick access combo lock. Securely bolts to the frame via existing truck bolts. Easy 10" install. Like new. Few external scratches from my garage floor. It's about 75lbs and heavy steel. Pickup in Brentwood or Smithville area. Here is a link to the manufacturer for specifics. https://www.lockerdown.com/i-50-model-ld3025-2009-2022-f150-and-2017-2022-super-duty-f250-f350-f450-crew-cab-under-seat-long-gun-safe.html?ref=category:12 4

New Taurus 605 357 magnum 3 inch barrel stainless steel with night sight. Hogue grip and small grip included. Never fired. Model #60539NS. NO TRADES. $375 in Clarksville/Pleasant View area.

Bought this vintage beauty yesterday. Always wanted to own one. Been sitting around listening to the four clicks: C - O - L -T

Whenever I am asked for such information when paying cash the answer is a simple and authoritative NO or “you don’t need that”. It’s that simple.

These are great shooters. If I didn't have one I'd been bringing this home.

They hold like a vise and I have five hidden around my house and one in each of my trucks.

Looking to offload my Ruger LCP. Includes one magazine, around 40 rounds of ammo, and a carry clip installed. Great little carry gun. Priced for a quick sale at $200, pickup around Spring Hill. Will want to see a drivers license or CCW.

Lots of places seem to want to collect info about you today. Just pay cash and make up a name and phone number.

I've used my magnets for years and never had an issue with a gun becoming magnetized.

I guess the best bet to determine if it's technically in place is to follow the money. It appears to me Palmetto State and others are still selling brace equiped pistols...so there's that.

Sent extra donations to the Second Amendment Foundation as well this week. They are extremely active with numerous lawsuits making their way through the system.

I don't post much about knives here. I suppose it is a shame because overall I really enjoy knives just as much as I do firearms. Thus, I decided to post about my favorite knife of all time and my current EDC. Spyderco Yojimbo 2. It features of a wharncliffe blade profile and a Spyderco compression lock. I'll be honest, for years I discounted many of the Spyderco knives because I thought that the "compression lock" was the same as a linear lock. I couldn't be more wrong! Two things happened. I realized that no folding knife can take the place of a fixed blade. In other words, any/all locks will fail under the right circumstances. I watched this video. This, along with other research, gave me enough confidence that the compression locks are quite a bit better than linear locks. You can read more about different lock types offered by Spyderco here. I'm sorry, I just have a prejudice against linear locks. No offense implied to anyone that likes them. I present to thee...the Yojimbo 2! I'm not exaggerating when I state that it is my favorite knife ever. I just feels perfect in the hand and in the pocket. Just decided to post some pictures of it today since it has been on my mind. Spyderco showed off a "Yojumbo" a few days ago. I'm lusting.

As a Christmas present to myself,I recently acquired a Sears and Roebuck Ted Williams Model 100 (thanks @chance77. This is a Winchester Model 94, made by Winchester for Sears. It is chambered in .30-30 and is a post ‘63 Model 94 from either the late 60s or early 70s. There are not great records of the serial numbers from these rifles, from what I can tell. The rifle came with a Weaver side plate for a Weaver side mounted scope on the left side of the receiver. Since it was already there, I went ahead and picked up the correct Weaver 1” scope mount and a vintage Armsport 3x9x34mm scope with a Duplex reticle. The side mounted scope is interesting. If I was a righty, I think it would be awkward to use. But being a lefty, it is fairly easy to just press my cheek up and into the stock move my left eye to the scope from the iron sights. I’m looking forward to getting it to my buddies range and sighting in the scope.

They support the second amendment but not the fourth. Sounds like the owner or employees need a civic lesson. Stand them up. Then tell them to pound sand on the purchase.

I'm sure a fellow denizen will correct anything wrong here, but this is how I understand it. A trust is setup by an attorney and you transfer the property (firearms in this case) into the trust. The trust now owns them, not you. You name yourself as a trustee so you maintain the ability to sell them as you please. The main advantage is that you can name multiple trustees or "responsible persons". Any of those people can can possess (and sell) the item legally without you needing to be present. You all essentially have co-ownership. One reason to do this is to help prevent being charged in an edge-case in the law around who actually has possession of an item. Let's say you buy an NFA item in your name and put it in your safe. Let's also say your wife has the combination to your safe. She technically has possession of it the same as you and since her name isn't on the registration form, she's violating the NFA any time she's at home and you're not. It's not something I think anyone has ever been charged with, but by the letter of the law it's a problem. A trust solves that by making both of you legally able to possess the item. Every responsible person listed must submit fingerprints. Before some time in 2016, trusts didn't have to submit fingerprints and this was a major reason to use them. They also didn't require CLEO sign-off on every purchase. Individuals did. Today the CLEO requirement is gone entirely and since all responsible persons in a trust need to get fingerprinted, trusts are less useful than they used to be. Depending on your circumstances, a trust can make estate planning easier or harder. Remember that you don't own anything in the trust. The trust owns the items. The trust has trustees and it has beneficiaries. Beneficiaries don't have to submit fingerprints, but they can't take ownership of the items until all the trustees die. Then the transfer to the beneficiaries happens outside your will since the items aren't your property. This may be a pro or a con, depending on your personal finances, the value of the items in the trust, your will's beneficiaries, any co-trustees and the beneficiaries of the trust. Say you name your brother as a trustee because ya'll go shooting a lot and then there's no question about if he can have the NFA item or not. You die and he survives you. You might leave everything you have in this world to your spouse (or kids, whatever) but your brother gets sole control over everything in the trust because YOU don't own anything in the trust and neither does he. But he now controls the trust and everything in it. Maybe that's what you want. Maybe not. But it's a factor to consider when establishing a trust and naming the trustees.

Don't worry about the external appearance. You've got a nice pistol that should give years of service. Get a couple of extra mags. I see them between $15-20 each on sale from various vendors in surplus firearms. Don't take it apart further than field stripping for cleaning. If you do it may become a 'bag-gun.' Enjoy it.

Well, your $190 gun is going for about twice that these days. I picked up mine today. Not as pretty as yours, but I'm OK with it. Feels like it fits my hand VERY well. Here's the promised pics. (First time loading pics on this site, so brace yourself for the usual site noob chaos...)

I've received a few PMs, and believe this item is as good as sold. I will update in here once the details are finalized.

Ah ok. I was wondering because typically duct is 4" or so. Unless you want to go cheap with a small hand saw id hit harbor freight and buy the clearance model i linked up top. Everything is looking great

I bought a jig saw a few years ago. I think a corded one was less than $30. In fact still is. https://www.lowes.com/pd/BLACK-DECKER-4-5-Amp-Keyless-T-or-U-Shank-Variable-Speed-Corded-Jigsaw/1000601429 I say just buy one. They take us next to no space.

Sounds like a good excuse to buy a new tool

No. It's just the pistol.

took a while

Read this. How To Tell If Your Gun Is Magnetized Not sure if this is serious or seriously wrong. Could be a new urban legend translation from Klingon. Here's another read from a gun magnet manufacturer. Makes more sense. Can a magnet damage a gun? If it was a serious problem with past serious incidents, wouldn't there be warnings for the FBI, Law Enforcement Agencies, the US Military, etc.? Or maybe Big Magnet Manufacturers have a conspiracy ongoing.

The company's that sell the magnets say it can't happen. Or the ones i looked at. That's a huge problem for me. Gun metal is somehow magically different than all other metal

To me, even if the pistol gets magnetized it's temporary, and if small metallic particles are attracted, it's minimal at the worst and would be cleared by cleaning and compressed air as far as I'm concerned. Until testing reveals otherwise, having the ability to hide firearms securely in hidden spots, the benefits outweigh the minuses.

I generally don’t recommend magnetizing your firearm. It can (does not mean will) attract debris into vital parts and cause stoppages. This is a reason that some people check for magnetism and demagnetize firearms during assembly. Also, magnets aren’t a holster.

Love it!

Yes. They are usual in a rubber or thick plastidip type case.

I have gun magnets underneath on my desk at work, home and gun room table with guns on each of them. Never had any issues. I love the quick, easy access.

I was present at the swearing in of the 113th iteration of the General Assembly of Tennessee on Tuesday the 10th day of 2023. I was struck by several realizations, which prompted question in my mind. First, those who support abortion, drag and transgender rights are not afraid to show up and show out. Effective or not at swaying public sentiment by being loud and colorfully noticed, they were present and enthused. There was a rally across from Cordell Hull, well attended by legislators of a particular Party in solidarity with those sentiments, as well as vociferous pronouncements in the area outside the chambers of the Senate and House. If decibels and numbers make a difference to legislators, this contest is done, as there was not one single person in attendance to offer a contrast. Second, I actually listened (though I have to admit, I have the entire oath memorized, it is important to me as it is the written terms of their employment that I and my fellow contract holders wrote) to the words the members raised their hands, repeated and affirmed by the elected employees of the General Assembly. I was struck by the monotony of the tone of responsive reading, like possibly they were simply going through the motions. Of note, there are factions in the GA that refuse to recognize or treat with certain groups because of personal animus, regardless of the reason for said strife. Perhaps truth has been spoken about rights being stolen, constitutionally guaranteed rights, recognized and pontificated on by SCOTUS, yet those who call out those invested with the powers of government and who blatantly deny those rights are vilified and scorned. In their oath they promise to protect and defend the constitutions of the United Sates and the State of Tennessee, then to “vote without favor, affection, partiality of prejudice”, it would be nice if that was truly the case, but I see a lot of favor and prejudice in the actions of many of our hired help Third, it is apparent that the soul of our State is jeopardy. I walked the halls of the office building of the legislators for a good bit of the day, and saw the legions of lobbyist, most recognizable from my years of advocacy. (Miss Bobbie Patray, a fellow Citizen Activist was there with her chipper attitude and wearing her “36th Year” button, God Bless her and her boundless energy and dedication to advocating for good) If the good people of Tennessee sit quietly on their couches and expect someone else to do the heavy lifting, the “progressives” who show up in force will win the battle. Lastly, I was talking with a Senator who confirmed he was armed in the area between the two chambers (and that he was armed continually everywhere he went) after the ceremony. I noticed several State Police officers on duty, I suppose to maintain order and provide protection, but for whom? If the legislators are the servants under the constitution, why are they allowed arms for their personal protection and the People they serve are not? Was the protection of persons provided by the State not sufficient for the members of the GA, are they special in such a way as to be allowed arms for their protection whilst We the People are not?

There's a 90% chance I could run that vent without doing any damage, assuming there is no obstruction such as blocking or other ductwork in that framing channel. Otherwise I'd have to cut a couple of holes in the ceiling. Cut to patch, IOWs cut clean and square, make it easy on yourself. But then, this is what I do for a living. Yes, vent to the exterior.
