  1. Holy Smokes!!!! :eek:  It looks very similar to the one I got my son, but it's a little different. It doesn't wind up. You just pull the trigger and it makes an auto fire shooting noise. Also no batteries.
  2. I got my little boy one last year at the army surplus store in Sevierville. He also broke the tip of the barrel off......I need to pick him up another one when I'm down there again.
  3. I started reloading about 2 years ago with the same kit.  I love it.....and it's very easy to use. If I can do it, anyone can!!! ;)   I just bet that your wife doesn't realize how much more money that you will be spending on reloading now......   I've spent well over $1000 on this stuff!!! 
  4. Thanks so much for the heads up!!! I was able to score 3 boxes! :D
  5. Yep. I recently got my AK pistol shipped back to my door (UPS) after sending it back to Century Arms to fix the canted sights.
  6. Merry CHRISTmas Everyone!!!!! :D May God Bless you and you families and make all your Christmas wishes come true!!!
  7. I know a guy that has land here in Cocke county near Rankin Wildlife management area. His game camera captured a picture of a mountain lion one night. I saw the picture and there's no denying what it is. I don't care what the TWRA says.......they are here.

  9. I'll definitely keep you and your family in my prayers. I'm dealing with a very similar situation with my mother right now.  I take care of her at home 24/7. She has dementia and Alzheimer's but, unlike your Grandmother, hers has been a long and drawn out process. She kept me up all night last night hallucinating.....talking and yelling out.....imagining people were there when they weren't. Hers started several years ago and they put her on two different Alzheimer's medications, which I feel is what has kept the disease from advancing at a much faster rate.  Anyway, I know exactly what you are going through and I will pray for you. If you need to talk, feel free to pm me sometime.

    AR lowers

    Let's see....Erin is in upper East TN right? You could take a little drive down to Bud's Gun Shop in Sevierville and get an Anderson lower for $50 plus tax & tics. About $66 otd.
  11. Yes, I agree with this. The first thing I thought when I walked in there was "look at all this unused space!!!"  They certainly have the room to sell more accessories.
  12. You might want to take a look at the Phase 5 Hex 2 buffer tube. I went with the KAK for my AK pistol, but I ordered the Hex 2 for my AR build. It might not have quite the length that the KAK does, but It looks fantastic and is made specifically for use with the Sig brace.
  13. Wishing you all a very Happy, Healthy and Blessed Thanksgiving!!! :)
  14. Thanks OS! I made an offer on their eBay listing of $119.00 and they immediately accepted it. I guess I should have started lower!
  15. This coupon code isn't working anymore. Anyone know where I can get the best price on an SBX?

    Thank You

    The Glock 19 is pretty much the cornerstone of any gun collection.  It's a must have. Congrats!!!   I just wish I had friends like yours! ;)
  17. I went over to my sister's house about a week ago to visit.  She made me a cup of coffee with her Keurig coffee maker. The next day, I had one sitting on my kitchen counter!  What an absolutely amazing and wonderful thing this is!!!   So who else here knows of the incredible and abundant joy that this machine will bring to your life?!!! :D   Seriously, if you have not experienced the absolutely delicious coffee that this machine makes, you need to treat yourself! I like Emeril's Big Easy Bold and Tully's Italian Roast. Both are excellent (and STRONG!)!!!  What are some of your favorites?
  18. Buds has Anderson lowers for $49.99 on the website and at their store in Sevierville.
  19. Forgot to mention position. I like carrying at 1-2 o'clock. That seems to be the most comfortable and it prints less there.
  20. Although I'm not a guy, I feel that I am qualified to address this post. I'm 5'10" and 245 lbs and I've carried iwb for many years. One of the biggest problems when larger people try to carry iwb is the fact that our waistline is not flat like you lucky skinny folks out there. We are curvy and that can pose problems that skinny people don't even think about. When a larger person tries to wear a high riding holster (iwb or owb), it results in the butt of the gun sticking out from the body at the top (rather than laying flat against the body as it would on a normal sized person)......making it print really bad.  For bigger people, the trick to carrying iwb (or owb and concealed) is getting a holster that rides lower on the waist. When the holster is lower, the butt of the gun stays closer and tighter to the belt, making it hardly print at all under a loose shirt.   I've tried a LOT of holsters over the years, and there are only a few that I've found that really work for me: -Crossbreed Supertuck (pros: very comfortable and lightweight, super adjustable allowing it to go very low on the waist......cons: allows perspiration to reach your gun) -N82 (pros: rides low, very soft and comfy against the skin, completely blocks perspiration from getting to your gun......cons: only a single clip which sometimes allows it to move, especially when active) -Leather/Kydex double clip holster from www.firearmholster.com (my personal favorite! an awesome holster that takes the best of both the Supertuck and the N82 and combines it into one great rig!)   The only other thing I would add is that no matter which holster you choose, you definitely want to get a good stiff gun belt......one that is actually made specifically for carrying a gun. I never realized how much this would help until I finally got one. I'll never buy another regular belt again!   Hope this helps! :)
  21. Since you like the Sig 238, but find that it snags too easily, then you should try a Sig 238 SAS (or 938 SAS). The SAS stands for "Sig Anti Snag" and they are sooooooo much smoother than the other models!!!
  22. I watched the show all the time. What I find really strange is the fact that Steph seemed to absolutely adore her daddy on the show. They seemed to be extremely close....almost like the perfect father and daughter relationship. I remember an episode from the last season where Will was inside a big tank and all of a sudden you see smoke coming out the top......Steph screaming "Daddy, are you ok?!!" and running over there to see about him. If I'd been raped by my father I don't think I'd have that much concern for his well being. It just doesn't make sense.   Do you guys remember the little monologues at the beginning of the show where it shows Will holding some big badass weapon as he warns "What you see here is done by trained professionals.....don't do this at home......etc., etc.......,"  and then in there somewhere he says "Wouldn't you like to be me?" Ever since all of this came out and he got arrested, Will saying that keeps playing over and over in my mind........"Wouldn't YOU like to be ME?!!" I would love to go visit him in jail! I would say "Wouldn't YOU like to be ME?!!"  LOL 
  23. Prag,   That looks like a mess for sure.......but no problem at all for a Stihl!   As far as your "dilemma" goes........I think that old saw of yours could use a buddy! Two is always better than one you know! ;)
