Lots of good choices at $30 and under. Some of my favorites are Evan Williams Single Barrel, Henry McKenna Single Barrel Bottled in Bond and Elijah Craig Small Batch. If you want to try other wheated bourbons, then Weller Special Reserve, Old Weller Antique 107 and Makers Mark are good choices. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It's pretty good stuff. For those that don't care for the "vitamin" flavor sometimes found in Dickel No12, the Barrel Select doesn't really have any of it, so they should give it a try. It is an extremely smooth bourbon. I can find it for $36 in some shops in the Memphis area. It's definitely worth it at around that price.

I know from what I've read that some of the Woodford Reserve Master's Collection series have not been that good. However, I've now had a chance to try this year's Brandy Cask Finish that I bought a few days ago, and I have to say that it's pretty darn good. It might be a bit heavy on the wood flavor for some, but dark cherry and spice notes really accentuate the overall flavor. I liked it neat, and opted not to try it with any water. It's pricey at close to $100, but I'll probably buy more if I can find them. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Maybe I'll have to see if I can find a small bottle and give it a go someday. Some of the flavored and sweetened whiskeys work well as a mixer, including Fireball, but I don't usually enjoy them by themselves because they are just too sweet and syrupy. Someone gave me a bottle of Crown Royal Maple once as a gift...it took me years to drink it. I usually added regular whiskey with it to cut the sweetness, which is what I occasionally do with Fireball when I'm in the mood for that hot cinnamon bite without so much of the sweet. About two parts cheap mixer whiskey with one part Fireball makes them both better. Cheers! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I haven't tried any Japanese whisky yet, but I keep looking at them when I'm shopping at liquor stores. One of these days I'll pull the trigger on one and give it a try. I have tried or have most of the others pictured. I heartily agree that Monkey Shoulder is worth the price, but it's an even better value below $30. I'm not sure I'll ever try the Crown Royal Vanilla...I'm just not a fan of sweetened, flavored whiskeys. I notice that your WR is a Cool Springs W&S store pick. I stopped in there last week when I was in the area for business. It's certainly a big store and has a lot of store picks, but I didn't think their prices were that great. I actually liked another nearby shop better, Red Dog W&S...actually made a few purchases there. They had a store pick of Stranahan's for $40! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Picked these two up yesterday. I've read good things about both of them this year. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I found them at a couple of different shops that I regularly frequent in the Memphis area. They never hit the shelves anymore though. You have to regularly check in and ask. When the stores receive it, you may only have a few hours to maybe a couple of days before its all gone unless someone agrees to hold some for you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Picked up a few bottles of Elmer T. Lee today. I've been looking for it for a while. I had my first pour this evening, and I must say that it definitely lives up to all the praises. I'll have to watch myself and just have this for an occasional pour given its scarcity, otherwise I could see the bottles becoming empty very quickly.

I recently bought a bottle of the 2008 vintage that was just released last month. I was so impressed with it that I've picked up several more bottles and later found some of the 2007 vintage and a 2006 that I'll try another day. I did find a bottle of the 2005 at a shop, but they had a $36 price tag on it, which I thought was too much since I've bought all of the others for under $30. I may reconsider and go back and pick it up if it's still there. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Added these two to my inventory recently. A relative in England introduced me to the Balvenie and I went to the Braunstein Distillery with my brother in law while visiting the in laws this summer in Denmark. The Balvenie is familiar to many of you, but for those who haven't tried it...it is really nice. The Braunstein bottle that I brought back is a peated single malt whisky that has won awards in International competition. I tried it while I was over there, but haven't opened the bottle yet...smokey and flavorful. [emoji106][emoji2] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

FFL dealers in TN that won't ship to C&R holders.
LCPfraTN replied to LCPfraTN's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
There are NO risks as long as a gun is C&R eligible. With a C&R eligible gun, then the transfer is just like any other transfer between FFL dealers. -
R1100R congrats on being one of the CMP M1 carbine lottery winners! As for me and my carbine order...crickets. [emoji853] Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I didn't look for any specific model articles or discussions, but here is a good article about F&W if you haven't seen it. http://www.gundigest.com/gun-collecting-firearm-collecting/forehand-wadsworth-other-guys-deserve-mention Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

FFL dealers in TN that won't ship to C&R holders.
LCPfraTN replied to LCPfraTN's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
If I were to send them a note, it wouldn't be too polite, so I've decided not to send them anything. Karma has a way of catching up to businesses that make stupid decisions. I do buy from other dealers inside TN. I just wont buy ANYTHING from those two idiots. I actually found a gun similar to what I was looking for at another TN dealer that I like and they do accept C&R licenses. [emoji3] -
I've got to rant a bit. I was recently looking at several guns on GB and came across two different FFL dealers in TN that made a point of stating that they do not ship to C&R license holders and that all shipments must go to another FFL dealer![emoji35] I understand that dealers and individuals in a couple of states are hamstrung by the laws in their states and have difficulty sending directly to a C&R holder. I can also understand when there is a question or disagreement regarding whether or not a gun is C&R eligible. However, when an FFL takes the position that these idiots have done in a state like TN, why would anyone do business with them. I know I won't buy anything from these two dealers in Cleveland and Columbia, TN. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

That auction result is from 2009...not necessarily representative of value in 2016. Having said that, I'd say the value may still be closer to $100 than $200, but it doesn't matter if he's not selling it.

LCP question about dry firing, needing to rerack each time?
LCPfraTN replied to MountainDewed's topic in Handguns
This is my understanding of how to best describe how the LCP action functions. I've owned one since they first came out and it was my first carry gun. If you want a true DA pistol in a similar size, look at the S&W Bodyguard. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Thoughts? Star Model B vs Hi Power
LCPfraTN replied to MrBrian's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I have a couple Hi Powers, a FEG clone and a Star Model Super B. I like the Super B because of the easy takedown, but I would always choose the Hi Power for a little more money...they are one of my favorite pistols. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk -
Are you trying to get into the estore? If so, that is not where you will find the rifles...you need to go to the rifle sale page. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Some great pics guys...I currently only have a few semi auto M1 Garands that fall within the WW2 period. Most of my WW2 rifles are bolt guns. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

My understanding from statements made by the CMP is that they received more than 5,000 orders the first day and only had around 1,000 in inventory for shipment but were also expecting to receive another 1,000 or so from the Army in a few weeks. If your order wasn't received the first day, you likely have no chance of receiving one, and if it was received on 2/1/16, then you probably have around a 40% chance of getting one. It will likely take a month or more before they finish processing these orders, so I'm still hoping that I get lucky and win the carbine lottery. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

And they are all marked "sold out" on the CMP website. They received my order this morning...hopefully I made the lottery cut! [emoji3] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The CMP began accepting mail orders for M1 carbines today. They have not been available for mail order in many years. This batch probably won't last long, so get them while you can. They also said that they will have a small number available in the South and North stores beginning this Thursday, but I'll be surprised if they last through the weekend. The prices ($685 for service grade and $625 for field grade) are also much lower than the prices have been at the South store when a few have occasionally appeared in the racks.

I'm still loving the Eagle Rare, but I am also really liking the Corner Creek now that I've had it a few more times. The Four Roses Small Batch...not so much. As you said, it's all about different likes and dislikes. I'm beginning to think the only thing great about Four Roses Small Batch is the incessant marketing of it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Mike, have you had any of the Prichards Private Reserve Rum? I like Appleton 12 too, and have a bottle in my cabinet, but it doesn't compare to the Prichards Private Reserve...of course the Prichards is much more expensive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
