1990 model JM Marlin. Seems like I always carry my other more well used Marlin 35 into the woods so I decided to let this one go. Scoped has been swapped since pictures for a 1.5x4x20 Leupold VX Freedom. Mount is a DNZ Gamereaper. I will take $1100 for everything or bare gun for $900. Limited trade interest would be older hunting rifles like Remington 700 bdl's, Sendero ect.. in non magnum calibers, Ruger m77 especially bolt paddle stocks, something in 280AI or 7mm-08 with threaded barrel, nice optics, JM Marlins ?? I'll try to get some new pics tonight after we get back from Thanksgiving with the family4 points

For sale is a Kimber of Oregon model 82 that comes with the factory sights. This was a rare upgrade and an option that was normally reserved for the SuperAmerica guns. Gun comes with one factory magazine, and is a ‘one hole’ gun. I’ve shot it a few times and it shoots like magic. Makes somebody’s Christmas really special this year or just buy it for yourself… This is a collectible gun at an excellent price. It has beautiful wood with a few very slight safe bumps. Take this girl home today. Prefer a local meet at my office in Brentwood, or I do travel towards Smithville on the weekends. I would rather sell it here than at auction so I don’t have to ship it, but I’m not gonna give this one away. 1000 obo3 points

to back up my anger, this was just sent. Thank you @Grayfox54 for bringing this to my attention. Were I in Nevada I would be taking things a bit further. Dear Senator Blackburn, Please expedite the solution to food shortages at Fort Carson and investigate whether this is happening at any of our other military installations. Ther is absolutely no excuse for our soldiers to not have sufficient meals. I am not placing blame on you or your office, I am proud of your accomplishments and look forward to the next term. As a taxpayer, voter, and veteran I believe that someone must be held accountable. I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. While we celebrate I will pray that our soldiers recieve a good meal. Thank You, Mark Parkhurst3 points

SIG XTen, 2 15-round mags & 950 rounds of S&B 180 grain ball ammo. I'd prefer to sell it as a package. Bought a little over a year ago and I've only taken it out a few times. Shoots awesome but I'm just not gonna use it much. $950 I'm in Manchester but travel thru Murfreesboro & Nashville regularly so I'm able to meet anywhere along that route by 24. Thanks, fellas2 points

1. Back when thrift stores were just called “the place where we get our clothes,” you could actually find affordable secondhand items. Now? They’re “vintage boutiques” where trust fund kids in berets “curate” old Levi’s for $200 a pair. The same jacket that was $5 last year is now “authentic retro streetwear” selling for your entire grocery budget. And don’t even get me started on the resellers who camp out at Goodwill with their price-checking apps, snatching up anything remotely valuable before actual low-income families can find it. 2. One day you’re living in your perfectly fine working-class neighborhood, the next day some real estate agent is calling it “charming” and “authentic”—and that’s when you know you’re about to get priced out of own zip code. First comes the craft coffee shop where a latte costs more than an hour’s minimum wage, then the “artisanal” pizza place that doesn’t actually sell pizza by the slice, and suddenly your rent has doubled because your building now has a “vintage industrial aesthetic” (translation: they didn’t fix the exposed pipes 3. It used to be that fixing things yourself, growing your own food, and making clothes was just called “being poor.” Now it’s “artisanal crafting” and “urban homesteading.” The same skills people used to survive are now expensive hobbies for people who can afford to fail at them. Your grandpa wasn’t a “master craftsman”—he just couldn’t afford to buy new furniture. But now hand-made anything comes with a price tag that would make him faint. 4. Pour one out for instant ramen—the OG broke food that got many of us through college. While you can still find the instant stuff (for now), ramen has gone from 25-cent survival food to $20+ “authentic dining experiences.” The same noodles that got you through your broke college days are now being served with a backstory longer than your student loan repayment plan. 5.. Once upon a time, mason jars were just… jars. They were how poor folks preserved food to make it through winter. Now they’re wedding centerpieces that cost more empty than they did full of food. People are paying premium prices to drink out of the same jars your great aunt used to store green beans, and somewhere she’s either laughing or crying. 6. Remember when having multiple jobs was just called “trying to make rent”? Now it’s been rebranded as “entrepreneurial spirit” and “the gig economy.” What used to be a sign that one job wasn’t paying enough has been glamorized into some sort of lifestyle choice, complete with workshops on “hustling” that cost more than what you’d make hustling 7. Carhartt went from actual work clothes to fashion statements. The same jackets and boots that factory workers wore because they were durable and affordable are now “heritage pieces” selling for ten times the price. People are paying premium prices to look like they might know what a wrench is. 8. ulti-generational households used to be a sign that nobody could afford their own place. Now it’s been rebranded as “intentional co-living” and “returning to traditional values.” The same living arrangement that used to get you pitying looks now gets you featured in lifestyle magazines about “choosing community over consumption”—as if it was ever a choice 9. People who used to pick berries and mushrooms, because they needed food, are watching in disbelief as foraging tours charge $200 to teach people how to find the same stuff. Now there are apps and expensive guides for finding “wild edibles,” and somehow the free food in nature comes with a premium price tag. Your grandmother who knew every edible plant in the county would be charging consultant fees if she saw this.2 points

I read this last night and I was really angry! I can’t believe the ridiculous p. r. responses from leadership at Carson and Ft Hood! Never in my 20 plus years of service did I see this blatant disregard for soldiers. If leaders can’t feed their soldiers remove them and put somebody in leadership positions that can do the job! Even deployed I never starved. The 1st Sergeant would deliver food to the remote sites in mermite cans with a 1/4 ton jeep to make sure you were fed. No Sergeant Major worth his salt would allow these soldiers to go hungry. Times have definitely changed. I don’t recall ever leaving a Mess hall hungry in the past. Not exactly gourmet food but filling. If command leadership can’t take care of soldiers fire them! Give all these young soldiers their food rations money back, their meal card isn’t worth crap!2 points

Not really, but during my time in, food was at least plentiful if not fine dining. I remember being a new soldier to post, having no car, and walking to every meal. Thankfully the chow halls were only a few blocks away. But that was when before consolidation became a thing with military dining facilities. DoD can't pass an audit at the department level, so maybe they can start small and answer why funding for the chow halls on an Army post aren't at or above what's being collected from BAS pass through via meal card holders, or off post soldiers eating on base (this was usually breakfast 9/10 times I did it). Those kiosks mentioned in the article are a joke. Little more than what you see at a Twice Daily or a Speedy Cafe. They're a horrible try and look good solution to a real problem. It's telling these issues keep coming up for the Army. I don't recall hearing any Navy/Marine Corps bases having issues, and I'm damn sure the Air Force isn't having chow problems. This is an Army leadership problem. General officers and SES civilians should be getting fired, but I'm not holding my breath.2 points

Disappointed to read that story. I hope NCOs there are making sure their soldiers get fed, one way or another. Those NCOs should also be writing letters to their congressman asking him to initiate a congressional inquiry into the officers' actions.2 points

I’ll say this then hunker down…has the military ever been a model of efficiency and judicious use of resources? Whoever commands Fort Carson needs to go, but I know my sometimes idealistic outlook on things don’t always jive with reality.2 points

The demise of Armslist has been well discussed, both here and on other boards. If you wanted a lesson in how to destroy an online sales model, you would find no better example than Armslist. One of the principles of the universe is that whatever part of Tennessee you live in, you'll find the guns you want in a far-away part of the state. North Carolina has a similar problem. Gun buyers who live in a state that's narrow in one dimension and wide in the others should learn to enjoy road trips. There are always pawn shops and barbecue joints along the way....

This rifle is a tack-driver. See attached 5-shot group with factory Hornady 140gr's closing in on half MOA at 100. Installed upgraded Magpul PRS Gen3 buttstock, but also includes the original factory buttstock. Everything is factory (and has never been changed) except the upgraded buttstock. The buttstock folds from Ruger. Have shot around 600 rounds through this, all with factory match Hornady ammo. I do not have the original factory box. Rifle has a 24 inch barrel, mlok fore-end. Only selling because I have moved on to competition rimfire. Must have TN drivers license.1 point

SACS 1911 is in beautiful shape. Not even broken in yet. If you know semi custom 1911s Springfield’s custom shop pistols were some of the best. Looking for a full size semi custom 1911 in 9mm. It will come with everything pictured. Mainly interested in Wilson, NHC, ACW. Thanks again all.1 point

there is absolutely no excuse for this. We have seen many shortfalls in the VA system but for the mess hall to not have enough food to feed the troops is beyond reason. The articles mention the base takes in 22 million but only spent 5 million? I don't care how much you have to throw out, make sure our soldiers have enough to eat. As was once said, "an Army travels on it's stomach". I cannot express my furor.1 point

I ran across an event on the show website near Westmoreland. Place called Ole Milliken Store has a gun/knife trader show every second Saturday. I plan on checking it out as I like seeing what normal people have rather than dealers. I can always see new stuff at local dealers.1 point

Just like your dad health, Slappy, my health, in my later years, has been "somewhat" hurt with my exposure to agent orange while serving in Vietnam. I had a bad heart attack on April 15 of this year. My windowmaker was 100% blocked with a blood clot, and they took me to the hospital in an ambulance. As I left the front drive, I lost complete use of my arms/legs and started sweating profusely. In my mind I totally concentrating on what was happening to me that I forgot my wife was in the front seat of the ambulance. She spoke up and I felt guilty that I was concentrating on myself so completely. I silently said a prayer and asked God to spare my life so she would not be forced to lose me, at that time, and be forced to bury me and mourn my passing. We will have been married 55 years in February. God had mercy on us and granted my request. My feeling came back to my body and somehow, I knew I was going to come home from the Hospital. Like your dad, I have been granted some more time, through God's grace and mercy to me and my sweet wife. I am 76 and Lord willing, if I make it 77 in March. This is wonderful time for me, and all I think about now is doing whatever God has for me to do. Also, I am a Christian. As all that was happening to me, I was totally at peace with my death walk and had complete confidence Jesus Christ was going to do for me what has been promised within the pages of the Bible. I had NO fear of death because of "His" (Jesus's) promises. I told you all I felt guilty for only thinking of myself. Thank God, He has made me understand why. When we pass in the next realm no one makes that walk with someone with them. One goes to the next realm by oneself. Guys, I tell you all, prepare yourselves to make that walk. I had every confidence that I was going to Paradice at that time. You can read this for yourself if you get a Bible and turn to (Luke 16:19-31). It is not hard to understand what happens when we leave this realm (pass on). The angels came and got poor Lazarus. I was ready to meet the angels, guys. Are you? I want to be with Lazarus and the other saints in Paradice when my soul goes to the next realm. I had "Totally" no fear. As I said, I am trying to do good here. Please prepare yourselves.1 point

If you put a pistol brace on it, your good unless they get ban. If you want a rifle stock on it, you'll need to do a form 1 on it and do all the required stuff that goes along with it. I have a 12.5 bolt action sbr and I absolutely love it.1 point

Also not a Glock fanboy. I think of getting out of Glock at least twice a week, but I have too many magazines and too many compatible guns that accept them. You’re good to go with running whatever mags in whatever generation. The only thing I’ve ever read is that gen 5 mags are ambidextrous if you want to swap the mag release for a lefty. The other exception to this is for a 19x as the baseplates and mag well aren’t compatible without doing some filing. Gen5 mags will have an orange follower. The base plates are also extended a bit. Other than that the dimensions, tolerances, springs, etc are identical to other gens. I actually saw a post from you the other day and was trying to think of the times that I met up with you, I think possibly it was for a magpul Glock mag bundle. Couldn’t put my finger on it. There’s a company (I think it’s from TN) called Jageman that also makes cheap off brand Glock mags and I’ve had no issues with there double stacks for plinking. Have not tried the single stacks.1 point

I doubt there's much reliable "proof" either way, but my experience with members of the OC community aren't pleasant. I get a sense that most (not all) OC'ers are seeking attention and like @deerslayer said, most often have junk holsters you can buy at Walmart and almost zero sense of situational awareness. Plus, I'm all for our rights, but I feel like it's a game of trying to scare teh anti-gunners and/or wanting a confrontation.1 point

I'm glad we have open carry for this reason, but most of the OCers I see are Fudd-types or wannabes who could probably be disarmed by my daughter. A crap holster and no situational awareness make a lousy combination.1 point

Brothers n sisters... Remember this one thing... The CNC machines that produce all these parts are stupendously accurate. If the base materials are as good, there is no substantial difference in any of these scatterguns other than name and price. Take a look at the 1911and AR market... A bajillion parts suppliers and basically there same results... frugal leroy...1 point
