Absolutely not. I have a single shot .22 that belonged to my Grandpa and I probably havent shot it a dozen times in 20 years. It has a permanent place in my gun case because no amount of money can buy those memories and that provenance

Nothing wrong with it in my opinion. I have the 1st rifle I ever shot. But I had to purchase my grandfathers entire collection from the "estate" to get it. 100% worth it

Very good condition S&W Model 10-7 tapered barrel revolver. Unfortunately no box or docs. Just the revolver as shown. Manufactured in 1977. I picked this up a while back, shot it, cleaned it and put it up. Now looking to sell to replenish my gun fund! Slight wear at the muzzle from holstering otherwise it's perfect! Shoots great! $575 cash or $600 for those who like to negotiate! Spring Hill area or close by please. No Shipping.

No.

Why would that be wrong? I’ve got all manner of stuff that belonged to my grandparents. This includes several guns I’ll likely never shoot again.

Why would it be bad? People keep all kinds of things for purely sentimental reasons. At least guns have a use and overall normally increase in value. My Dad has a very heartfelt request I get my Papaw's police sidearm. I remember that chrome Model 19 riding on his hip when I was a kid. Same as my Dad's .444 Marlin Lever gun. It is the association of each to them that makes them more than wood and steel. Once gone you can never get that back.

I think the feds had a good case this guy was clearly an unlicensed dealer. He apparently bought 150 firearms in less than 3 years and was selling them. Still, that doesn't earn a death sentence. And I would actually welcome federal hearings on this, because there's enough for both sides to pick open. Republicans can go after the ATF in general, and Democrats can pry into heavy handed law enforcement tactics. This is the search warrant if anyone wants to give it a look. The word "threat" doesn't appear, and the word "danger" is only used once to describe how Malinowski couldn't be followed during part of the investigation because he was running red lights and the agent didn't want to risk the safety of other motorists. https://www.kark.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/85/2024/03/Ex.-1-Search-Warrant-003.pdf This isn't some drug dealer who can flush the stash, and I'm thinking this would have been best done with a knock on the door before he went to work, or as others have mentioned, pulling him over on the way to work with the help of the local PD. I'm getting to the point where specific instructions on the scope and tactics of a search warrant may need to be approved by a judge, not just 6a-10p, or anytime day or night. There should be oversight on if a no-knock is used. If this was a no-knock raid, law enforcement executing search warrants aren't going to understand someone's first instinct to loud banging, or forced entry could be to get their gun and be ready, then we don't need them breaking down the door unless there is an anticipated reaction with gunfire. And that would be quite a claim to make. This is a tragedy on so many levels. I only hope he had a decent life insurance policy that won't be invalidated for the sake of his family. Maybe he knew he was screwed, and didn't want to account for his actions. We'll never know for sure if suicide by cop was the way he wanted to leave this world because the ATF just can't resist being a SWAT team with federal funding. Not for nothing, their own guy might have been wounded because of the tactics here.

You better hang on to them.

I see no problem in keeping them. They are a tangible connection to your past. You can’t put a value on that.

Nothing wrong with that at all. I have 2 pipes one of my granddads smoked and then tools, a boat anchor and old style Coleman lanterns and stove my other granddad used. Those items are priceless.

I've got my grandfather's 12 gauge bolt action shotgun and S&W model 18. The shotgun is the first I ever shot. The S&W was the interest I paid him on a college loan - he wouldn't agree to interest so I gave him the gun when I made the last payment. He said he didn't want it, so I told him to toss it in the lake. He passed away years later but still hadn't made that trip to the lake... Both are priceless to me.

When I retrieve any one of my firearms from the safe the memories of that particular firearm come to light. I can visualize the time place and folks I was with. It ranges from the 50's to present with Grandfathers and family though the years with my dad and my children. There are many ways to reflect on the past. My opinion would be to keep them and touch them even if you don't shoot them. Memories are the one thing they can give you now. Enjoy: Pssman308

I agree but it is not just in D.C and it sure as hell isn't just the Democrats. We all need to keep a closer eye on the a-holes we have sent Nashville to represent us. If you aren't subscribed to the Tennessee Firearms Association (and supporting them with membership, etc...), sign up for the email list and join. Take a look at the video SB2516 and just let it die in committee. This wasn't the Democrats that let it happen, None of the Republicans wouldn't second it. See approx. 02:29:40 in the video linked below. This type of BS is all to common. That R after their name is not an indication of anything you can rely on. There are only two people on the committee that identified as democrats but I don't believe there are only two on it. https://tnga.granicus.com/player/clip/30019?view_id=703&meta_id=814156&redirect=true The video starts with SB This bill would have established, in addition to any claims that could be brought under the Federal Civil Rights Act, a state civil action against person or entity that infringes upon a person's right to bear arms under the Tennessee or United States constitutions.

The short Lincoln Log pieces were my mortar rounds, which I launched from a Lincoln Log-made see-saw. One accurate shot could wipe out a whole platoon of green men.

$1 for a bag of 100 men. Great war games with firecrackers and BB guns. I left divisions of these in the dirt at every childhood home.

I think that was the glue. iirc it would harden sealing the slit in the rubber top and would need to be reopened with a knife or pair of scissors. Good times

Withdrawing Sale

Had my shoulder scoped (3-18-24) on Monday, and really feeling it today. Bone spurs. Removed 2 large ones and cleaned up rotator cuff where the spurs damaged. Very sore this morning. Go for bandage change tomorrow and set P T in motion. Been dealing with much pain for over a year. Was on blood thinner for 4 heart stent insertion last year. Looking forward to improvements.

On Saturdays, I take my dog down to Lawrenceburg at Working Dogs for Vets for service dog training. This last Saturday, I decided to stop at their local gun store - Smith Gun Company - to see if they might have one of the new 6" Colt Pythons in stock - fat chance, I know - and I was surprised at the size of the store in a "small" town. They didn't have what I was looking for, but my eye caught sight of the most beautiful stock that I'd ever seen on a production rifle. This turned out to be a Winchester Model 70 in 6.5 Creedmore sitting atop a flame maple stock. I kid you not, this thing was so gorgeous that I asked the clerk to show it to me. Damn, I had to fight the urge to buy this rifle. What stopped me? I don't need a "long-distance" gun, and I have never messed with a Model 70 before. The deal-breaker was that it was so beautiful that I'd be afraid to shoot it, and I don't own weapons just to sit in the safe. At $1800, my wife was happy that I successfully resisted the urge to buy it.

Sold

I have an old single shot 12 gauge that was my dad’s. It’s really beat up, but I have so many memories of rabbit hunting with him. It was a “tool” for him, and he used it like one. It’s not worth much for most folks, but it’s priceless to me, even though I never plan to shoot it. There’s nothing wrong with keeping it. This is a decision you would probably regret later on if you got rid of it. You would never be able to go back on that decision. The only way I would get rid of a gun like that would be to pass it down to my adult son, so they could make memories with you.

While you may not be very interested, the next generation might like some tangible reference to a relative they never knew.

My mom recently dug up several buried GI joes in the flowerbed. Lol

Nothing wrong with it at all, but it is ok to let some go if you really want or need to. I’ve only sold 2 of my father’s guns. One, a beat up 1918 peddled scheme Enfield that was half-assedly sporterized and missing the saftey. I pulled it out of a trash heap by the street at my grandmother’s house when I was a kid and even he said he didn’t want it, lol. The other was a Marlin bolt action .22 Magnum. He bought it when I was a kid, why .22 Magnum I have no idea. Great rifle and if was .22lr I might have kept it…but I’ve uh, expanded the collection since then and there’s only so much space. Don’t miss them at all, some his others I’ll never let go of.

Beautiful weapon!

Thanks for the extra vote, @FrankD Taurus said they'd ship my new .22 in 6-8 weeks depending upon inventory, business volume, weather and acts of God. I trust the last one is favorable.

you won't be disappointed with the TX-22. I picked up the comp version a while back with the threaded barrel and optics plate. With a suppressor on it makes for a super fun plinker.

I have the MRAD/MK 22 deployment tool kit with the Fix-it-Sticks. Love it and use it on pretty much every firearm I own from scope mounting to chassis/action screws. No issues and I have checked their products against the calibrated torque meter at work we use for all calibration of torque wrenches and limiters in the shop. They have all been very close to nominal. Just be aware that heat from heavy use or just extreme ambient heat can affect the torque limit. Don't try and torque 100 bolts in a row in short order and don't store them in your car in the heat of summer right before use. They are viscous fluid / friction based devices.

Very accurate. I think all of us who look at the details for a few minutes can see that the parents in this case displayed a lot of issues beyond just being unaware or unable to control as did the school system. But, it is still very concerning as how this verdict will now be allowed to be used. These are the same people that want to bring charges against the owner of a firearm if it is stolen from their vehicle or home (or probably anywhere/anyhow) and used in a crime. I'm sure they don't want to just stop there.

I remember spending lots and lots of Lincolns, Roosevelts, Jeffersons, Washingtons at the Ben Franklin. I had the largest, well equipped little green army in my neighborhood. Even had a balsa wood air force. Good times!

I could be wrong but I think this is a first for this type of verdict of the parents being charged for the child’s crime, so now there is a precedent. The question now is when and where will they use this precedent in the future.

Understand oh so well how you felt! Many, many times have I done this. Now too old and decrepit to keep adding to the pile. I keep saying I'm selling. Actually have 8 on consignment at Belshire right now.

Way back in the day, I blew pretty much every penny I could find on model airplanes at TG&Y. WW2 fighters in 1/48 scale were my biggest weakness.

They did the same thing to David Koresch, could have arrested him in town. Like Chuckt said, they want to make examples.

All original Nickel Colt 4" Python from 1975. It comes in the original matching serial number box and shows little sign of use. I'll let the pictures do the talking for this one. I'm asking $4000 and located in Lebanon, TN for this amazing Colt Snake Wheel Gun. Please message with questions. Thanks! Now $3500 FTF or $3525 Shipped to your FFL.

Every new story I've read so far says they kicked the door in around 6am to serve a warrant for selling guns w/out proper paperwork. That sounds exactly like what the ATF would do. Rather than arrest him when he leaves the home, pull him over on the way to work, or arrest him at work, they chose the most violent, risky, and least intelligent means to their end.

Excellent condition: My never carried P320 in full size in .357 Sig. I also have a 9mm conversion kit for it. The 9mm slide has ghost ring sights, and the .357 slide has orange dot front sight: $500 firm Sale is limited to established members only, so no low post counts. Fraudsters need not try! I'm willing to meet for transaction at either Murfreesboro's, or Lebanon's, police station parking lot if'n ya don't want ta come to my house.

This wasn’t about serving a warrant or preserving evidence. This was about sending a message.

That reminds me to check my truck when I get home. LOL

ATF did have a tracker on Malinowski’s SUV, would have been very easy to get him pulled over, and he would sill be alive.

And nose rings. Yesterday, a young lady at Firehouse Subs had one, and apparently it blocked the sound to her ears considering she screwed up the order.

Just a side note. If you're ever given a prescription for pain killers, have them filled even if you don't think you need them. Hoarded painkillers saved me on a 4th of July weekend tooth abcess.

As a old former LEO, (in another state), my first thought was that the dispatcher/police officer blew you off because they didn't feel that it arose to a crime without bothering with an investigation. That's wrong, and probably violates their department's rules. Go higher up in the food chain. Brandishing a weapon: I think that he was brandishing without brandishing. In other words, he is playing with the line. If he fiddled with the gun - not something like holding the rifle strap in place on his shoulder while talking to you - then it could be considered as brandishing. Assault, not so much. NO ONE has a right to tell you that you cannot use public space in a lawful manner when it doesn't interfere with another's rights. That includes sidewalks as they are grouped. Me? I'd do what I normally do, and have my phone ready to record if he confronts you again.

Finding a box for sale is nearly that fun.
