  2. On Jan 27-29 I attended the Rangemaster Defensive Shotgun Instructor Course at Royal Range in Nashville TN. It is 3 days of intensive shooting and classroom work in learning (as Tom Givens refers to it) The Gospel of the Gauge. Pic shows Tom presenting me with my class certificate and Top Gun award for highest aggregate score in class.

  4. Ok, my main sporter is a Browning Citori, I let the tall guy from the gun shop youtube talk me down that route with the Japanese made Browning. I invested in that, it's my gun! That said, doesn't mean I don't want to see what the other manufacturers have to offer. In this case I managed a shipping trade. I was trying to move a 20G Franchi Reniassance I got on this forum, on a whim I offered an even swap for someone on the auction site with this Beretta Model S685 in what looked to be near new condition. They accepted, which shocked and worried me, but they were a registered FFL, everything checked out, and they documented the gun with a ton of pictures (like the last one I got on there). So I figured, I was probably going to have my O/U on here for a long time so I might as well see about this trade and make it work. I managed to complete the transaction though it took a while. I shipped first, he received, then he shipped to me. I just picked the gun up today after a couple weeks and it looks exactly like the photos! It actually still had some of the factory grease in some corners! So once again, I cleaned it up, snapped some photos and here we go, you be the judge! The model S685 is definitely an interesting one, it's a 'low-end' Beretta, I don't know if it is a 'pre-cursor' to or just a cheaper version of but is closely related (it seems from appearance) to the standard 686 with a few exceptions. The first and foremost bing this gun has 'lifters' or 'extractors' and not ejectors. Honestly I don't mind this as I'm not great at catching ejected shells yet. It also has the automatic safety catch in it, which none of my other O/U's have (but the Franchi did as it was also a field version). This one has fixed F over M chokes in the barrels. The model was discontinued in 1986, I just found the date code and this one is a 1985 model, which is a significant year for me, so now I'm definitely in love with this pick-up. Other big difference which you can kind of see in the pictures is there is quite a bit of right hand cant. The Browning's I have are much more straight, or at least you don't notice quite as much angle. I've only shouldered the gun a few times, it seems pretty comfortable, my whole grip feels more compact. I probably watch too much TGS on youtube but you can feel that there is definitely more of something in this thing... style? class? I don't really know but it definitely is less 'tool' than the browning but is still the most 'tool' version of a Beretta O/U I think you can get. Also, I am converting my Benelli M2 Field 28" from the comfort tech stock and forend to wood. I noticed they sell wood finished M2's over seas and you can get the parts so I found a discount stock on ebay and forend. As I was putting the gun together I dropped the wood forend and you can see what happened in the pictures. I have a new one on order and am gluing this one but darn what an expensive mistake. I'll post pictures when it is done in a week or so.

  5. These don't come up often: The king of 1970s snubbies, a S&W Model 15-3, nickel plated, with 2-inch pinned barrel. SN dates the gun to 1975. Ad closed -- gun moved elsewhere. Thanks for looking, Whisper

  7. It was everything you said, and more. The memorial for Tyre was held a few weeks ago. It was on the local news and much smaller. Yesterday was a show to drum up support for the Floyd bill and to keep these issues in the national spotlight. If people weren’t making noise, who would have paid attention to this case? I’m no fan of Al Sharpton, but he’s an activist. Everything he’s doing is his job. I despise Steve Bannon, but getting people angry and pissing other people off is his job. Neither would be successful if they weren’t effective.

  8. A viewer noticed a small blemish on the right side of the slide. After angling it just right there is hairline blemish about 1/8" long. It is nearly invisible but wanted to be straight forward.

  9. Selling my CZ PCR (Police Czech Republic). This is a DA/SA (decocker) 9mm with 2 15 rd mags, factory box, paperwork, etc. Probably only has around 50 rounds through it, maybe less. This is aluminum frame with a cold hammer forged barrel. Sights are luminescent, but not tritium. In the third picture I try to show some slight marring of the finish around the rear sight which is the only defect as far as I can tell. Looking for $550 or equivalent trade value.

  10. In all fairness, back when this thread started Tisas were relatively new to the market. At that time, they weren't much. But now, 9 years later, Tisas makes a good, reliable and inexpensive gun. So the OP may very well have been right. But times and Tisas have changed.

  12. So, I had this surplus German 7.62 ammo for years now, leftovers from when I had a FAL and a PTR. But after debating about another ptr or going the AR 10 route, I can firmly say I regret going the ar10 route. Man, this thing weights a ton. Shoots well though. Now I just need to find a good optic for it. BCA BC 10. 18in barrel. I replaced the trigger, grip and stock day one (why? Because I wanted to). I will probably replace the stock again.

  13. My biggest thing is that by going from a pistol to an SBR, I am now crippled on transporting, crossing state lines, vehicle carry, and carry ability with my current HCP. I prefer to keep them in pistol status and wait this thing out. I got used to the Uzi push/pull sling method before the brace and if necessary will go back to that method.

  14. I expect the Lautenburg Amendment to fall for the same reasonings. Like most gun laws in this country. I won’t pretend that this doesn’t elevate risk to some folks who find themselves in these situations. It would be ridiculous to do so. That said, it’s also not like those restraining orders actually did anything to stop folks who sought to do harm. They’re just pieces of paper after all.

  17. As I recall I used ATF and put in the description for FBI card whatever the number is of the card they use. It was shown in the description. It had me choose off a map the office closest to me by zip code. I chose a UPS store / date / time. When I arrived the employee pointed to a device sitting on a table and said just sit down and hit start. After a few demo screens I was prompted to get an employee to verify my credentials, they then put in a code to get me going. I was prompted to do the finger tips and thumbs and then moved on to rolling prints. I can tell you that I had a heck of a time getting it to read my prints, they at first just would not show up on the screen. I had other employees come over and theirs appeared instantly. We called the company and a person tried to help me while they viewed the screen remotely. There is a metal frame that surrounds the pad that reads your print, you must contact that metal band while your finger is on the screen. Nothing was working for me, the guy on the phone wanted me to stop and just get paper ones done. It finally hit me, if everyone else in there could do it and I was having so much trouble maybe my skin on my lower fingers was just to dry for it to know I was making contact with the metal band. I put some of that pink paper grip stuff on my lower fingers near the palm and it worked perfectly. Lesson learned…..the guy on the phone with the company said “ Ya know, we just have some people this won’t work on but I think you just solved our problem.”

  18. Treat everyone you come across with respect and dignity as everyone you will ever meet has at least one thing you could learn from them. There is no more powerful force in the world than consistency. And that communism has failed miserably every where in the world that it was ever implemented.

  20. There are a lot, but anymore the #1 thing that seems to be lacking is the ability of kids to cope with adversity and failure. They need to learn how to deal with adversity and failure and even understand what is even worth caring about. Failure is a great teacher. Putting them in positions to fail is not all bad. They need to then use some reasoning to figure out why they failed and how they can improve next time regardless of the scenario.

  22. Hi I have this LNIB ATN X-sight 4K pro night vision scope for sale. Bought it for a potential hog hunting trip in Texas but have had no time to do it. Tested at the range to zero it. Very good review on Amazon. Long battery life, can see clearly 100-125 yards in the evening without extra IR light. With extra IR light you can see up to 250 yards in the darkness.Great for Hog or Coyote control. you can use it in day time too. The ballistic calculation and 1 shot zero functional are really handy New for $739+ tax. Asking $590 OBO.. or trade for 9mm ammo

  24. I've seen more than one instance where in divorce proceedings the agreed order or divorce decree included a "stay apart" provision with all the elements under 922g8, inadvertently (?) making ownership an offense for the husband - even though there was no adjudication of guilt of a crime. Plenty of people who read about this Fifth Circuit decision will argue it's dangerous to vulnerable people. Personally, I find it more dangerous for the state to have the option to suspend a citizen's civil rights via some abbreviated, summary process.

  32. Verbal communication skills. They need the confidence and vocabulary to adequately communicate clearly and with tact. The ability to listen, process what they heard, and respond appropriately. Whether asking or answering, with adult or another child. The value of hard work, and the satisfaction of a job well done. Both physical work of sports or building/fixing things, and mental work of school subjects. Work seems less like drudgery when they can see the goal/end game.

  33. Back about 20 years ago I was following the LTW crew (Yost, CT Brian, Chen, Christanensen etc) and was amazed by their work, which was some of the best going. Over time you began to notice that most of the people who bought these guns were more collectors than anything. You’d see the same gun pop up for sale, unfired as it was when the previous owner had bought it. Almost nobody was carrying them or doing competitions with them. The occasions where someone did send in a beat-up custom for refurbishment were noteworthy threads on the forum. Most “real” working guns were the realm of lesser known smiths (but not necessarily less capable) whose work could actually be afforded by most of us. I always had a lot of respect for the smiths in the competition world because they constantly saw high round count guns and knew what worked and they learned how to build guns that would stand up.

  35. Just saw the victim's mother being interviewed by Lester Holt, what a wondrous example of grace. To paraphrase, "rioting and burning down the city won't bring my son back, let there be peace." My opinion, it will sow further distrust between minorities and LE. Harsh reminder for me to continue to stay under the radar and do nothing to attract the attention of any LE. Lord, please extend your hand to heal and to perform signs and wonders through the holy, precious and powerful name of your obedient servant Jesus.

  36. I picked up my 2 inch Colt King Cobra a couple of weeks ago and thought it could not be topped, today my 2 inch Kimber K6S came in and I have to say it is by far the nicest revolver I have ever handled. The factory grips were too small for my hands, I knew this before buying it so I bought a set of the combat grips from Kimber. Tim Thurner TT Gun leather is making me very nice Holster for it as I write this this revolver is truly one of the finest firearms I have ever seen I will change the sights out for night sights but in my opinion this is the best revolver in .357 Magnum currently for sale
