Spent 36 years with the Army, 4 years active, 32 as an Army Civil Servant. 18 years of that as a tank mechanic, but then got burnt out on being greasy, and transferred into public affairs for U.S. Army Recruiting Command HQ my last 8 years. That was an interesting gig. I retired in 2010 and haven't had a bored day yet. Did I mention I like guns?

I need some .45 acp brass. I have plenty of .38 and 9, and will trade 2 for 1 for .45 acp. Can spare enough to cover 500 .45's (for 1000 of 9's or 38's)

Thumbs up on Cedars, I've camped there. Right off of 840, and close to 40, Lebanon area.

ad-closed Cold Steel Recon Tanto 7" blade

I'm surprised you're not on that Sheffield machete I posted. That was probably made in your neck of the woods. -

Price reduced. Has to be a Cold Steel fan out there. -
I have more deer rifles than I can use or even have places to hunt for that matter. This is a sweet one. Light weight (6lbs) and beautiful wood. Kimber hand checkers, hand finishes their stocks. Has match grade 22" barrel too. Scope is a Burris Fullfield II 3x9 with 30mm tube. Strap not included, as it's on my 6.5 Swede now. GONE

Cold Steel, Japan made Recon Tanto, length overall: 11-3/4" in. Blade 7 in., 3/16th thick. It weighs 9 oz. It has a (Kydex) sheath and Kraton rubber handle. Steel is Japanese AUS 8A. This is #540 of 600 made Lynn C. Thompson editions, the founder, owner, of Cold Steel Inc. Never been sharpened nor carried. Bought this while watching the Dexter series years ago. Seemed like the right thing at the time. Would make a great knife for stabbing rhinos or 55 gallon steel drums ... whichever environment you happen to be in at the time. SOLD

ad-closed AMS Fish Hawk bowfishing bow
221 Fireball replied to 221 Fireball's topic in Non Firearm Classifieds
147 launches, give or take 40+ or so. It's never been slimed ... very rare for a fish bow, almost like being a safe queen. No way on the creeper seat. That's been my backdrop for many of my handguns I've sold. Blue guns go on the red seat, stainless guns go on my black leather office chair. -
This Fish Hawk was only used one season. It was my last bowfishing bow. I just don't do that sport anymore. $400 new, I'll take $150 and include two fish arrows. It's ready to go fish whacking. I've got extra Muzzy fish arrows I'll let go at $10 a piece to the buyer. That's half price. Cumberland River is full of buffalo, carp and gar for some fun action. From Hunters Ramp on 231 down to the Steamplant use to be loaded up along the banks. I'm sure they still are. Cordell Hull is another hot spot for rough fish, especially big buffalo. Cheatham Lake (Cumberland river west of Nashville) has those crazy Asian Silver carp, they'll jump in your boat if your not careful. LOL

Somebody's getting a nice rifle. I have the same rifle, but I hunt with it. One of my favorite 30-30s I own. Shame to let these sit in the safe. That long barrel makes for accurate, off-hand shooting.

ad-closed Colt Frontier Scout .22
221 Fireball replied to 221 Fireball's topic in Firearms Classifieds
What channel are you watching GRIT on? They just pulled it off my "free air waves" 2.4 WKRN. They replaced it with REWIND. I was so mad, I send an email to the station manager. She said their contract ran out. I said renew it. -
1968 Colt Frontier Scout .22 with factory stag grips. Nice leather holster included. Got this from Gr8smiles 6 months ago, but yes, it was pure impulse. I'm never going to play cowboy ... well, maybe while watching the GRIT channel. Only trade that would interest me would be a lever gun. $650

I still have one left.

Nice older 870 Wingmaster (1997), 12 ga., 30" full choke vent-rib barrel. Slick action, like all the older 870s. Fantastic shape for a 44-year-old shotgun. $600

1911 disconnector hesitation
221 Fireball replied to tercel89's topic in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
It's pretty normal do have a slight "drag" the last 1/2" as the slide goes into battery if you're riding the slide back by hand. You have to remember everything is coming together at that point. But loaded, you should either pull back the slide and let it go, or if it's at slide lock, you can do the same or hit the slide release. If it functions fine when firing, you're good to go. At 100 rounds, it's not even broke in yet! I've got 5000+ rounds (IDPA shooter) through my Range Officer and the only thing I've had to change was a recoil spring at about 2000+ rounds.
