  1. I will be there, possibly a few minutes late if traffic is bad.
  2. I really wish as a society we would bring back dueling. There would be a lot less butt hurt people walking around.
  3. Good to know I was wondering if there was something special about them.  I'm fairly knowledgeable on Mosins, I had heard of the M39 but did not know that they were "special," not to that extent anyway. 
  4. $450 for a damaged Mosin?  I'm just not that big of a fan.  There are a boat load of better guns out there for that kind of money.  They were cool when they were $70 and a spam can with 440 rounds was $80.  Those days are gone.  Mosins are the bottom of the barrel and crude, I'f I'm going to pay what it costs to shoot them I'm going to shoot something that I enjoy more. 
  5. Just started a new job downtown.  Went to scout out some areas near my office to see if I could access the river to fish during my lunch hour.  I think it's doable!  Don't even care much if I don't catch anything but it would be nice to wet a line in the middle of the work day.  I'm in Metro Center if anyone is close by and cares to join.
  6. The more I've thought about it... op, please find the time to get your permit and familiarize yourself with the law, or don't carry at all, or as a third option have the time and money to defend yourself in court and make a good test case for gun owners. I hate to sound harsh but sometimes we (gun owners) are our own worst enemy, I just can't in good faith tell someone who has not familiarized themself with the state laws to try to skirt the law and knowingly enter a legal gray area.
  7. This might be one of the best pieces of gun misinformation that I have ever heard. Where do people come up with this stuff?
  8. I saw them when I lived in Blount County. I've seen them in DeKalb County as well and been told that they are common out in the Cedar Glades in Wilson County but haven't seen them there myself.
  9. As hard as 22 mag is to find I'd have no interest just based on that.  Much more interested in a .22 TCM that at least has the ability to be reloaded.  Plus it's a way better round IMO.
  10. I case people bring weapons into the sanctuary to try to harm you, duh!  Mine was on me this morning in church.  Never go to church without it.
  11. Take it to a local dealer for cleaning.  Ask if he can pick it up when he returns from deployment.
  12. They are not the best looking tires, nor are they the cheapest but for function I can't say enough good things about Michelin M/S 2's. Though not aggressive looking they do great in mud and snow. Plus they are quiet, ride smoothly and quietly, and they will give 80,000-90,000 miles if cared for properly. I have them on my Tundra now and had the E load range tires on my F250 service truck. Very pleased with both sets.
  13. Is there a difference in the quality of glass? My truck came from Florida and has sand etching on the windshield, more annoying than anything.
  14. Meant to ask what the deal was with that, I counted 16.
  15. I blame the people who used the flag for evil purposes more than anything else. Their use of it gave the general public the view that it was a racist symbol regardless of what was true. The Christian cross has been used extensively by the KKK but no one ever gets upset by that it seems. Just my perspective when you commented about the Confederate soldiers not fighting for "the right thing" as I believe you put it. Maybe, but they thought that it was right. They didn't know what we know now. And, our wasn't really about slavery but about states rights. Just imagine today if the federal government created laws that would vastly change our way of life. Most would probably roll over and take it but back then the Confederacy took up arms to protect their way of life and what they thought was right. If that cause was not connected to slavery the perspective would be a lot different. Another fine video sir. Not arguing just weighing in.
  16. Tannerite has warning labels for a reason, and that reason is to warn people who don't have enough common sense to realise that Tannerite may be dangerous. Guy is a moron plain and simple, and before you ask, yes, I did do stupid things when I was young, but nothing that stupid, which is evidenced by my still having all of my extremities, including fingers and toes.
  17. We'll take the money that the Nashville yuppie liberal morons don't want.
  18. Perfect! Of no TGOers come through I'll do this.
  19. 43 feet? That's stupid. I've shot Tannerite no way would I shoot it at that distance, especially when set in a way to send shrapnel with the blast. Modern medical technology is the only reason idiots like this get to tell the story about the time that they blew their leg off instead of just dying.
  20. If all else fails I may see if he would be willing to send me what I need for a few bucks.
  21. I know this sounds odd but I need about 50 dip can lids to use in the construction of some fishing jugs.  If you are in the Middle Tennessee area that would be great if not and you have a bunch I'd be glad to pay shipping to get them. If you are local I don't mind sharing some catfish here in a few weeks either.
  22. This kit is priced pretty well may save another $20 if you wait around for it to go on sale.  Everything you need but your mags and sights. http://palmettostatearmory.com/ptac-16-mid-length-5-56-nato-1-7-phosphate-rifle-kit.html
  23. As long as it's in the car and you can legally posses it then you're good to go, doesn't need to be in a case or anything.  Removing the gun from the car is when you will begin to have an issue without having a really good reason to do so.  I would highly suggest reading and understanding the law before you do anything involving carrying a gun that you are not 100% sure about.  There is generally good information here but I would not do something based solely on information obtained from people that I do not know on an internet forum. There is a link to the Tennessee Codes Annotated in my signature line, that would be a good place to start.   
  24. I've been in your shoes.  It can be confusing going in for the first time.  Here's what I did and it worked out great, I learned a lot, and in my opinion I got a nice rifle out of the deal.    #1 Acquire a lower.  Stay away from polymer, no reason to go down that road to save $20, you are not a hobo. #2 Buy a PSA rifle build kit.  It will have everything that you will need to complete the rifle when paired with the stripped lower, minus the magazine and sights.  #3 Look up a video on Youtube about how to assemble the lower.  My upper came pre assembled, two roll pins and it's on.    As far as sourcing parts... 1.  Are you an operator? 2.  Are you an accomplished 3 gun competitor looking to stay at the top of the game? 3.  Will this rifle be mostly used for shooting beer cans, varmints, carrying at public demonstrations and/or at your job as a mall security guard, I mean ninja?   If you answered "yes" to questions 1 or 2 you may be best served looking at some fancier brands. If you answered "no" to questions 1 or 2 but "yes" to question 3 then PSA is a great choice for you as it is economical and generally of serviceable quality.
