It’s always nice to have something like that in the back of the safe. Not just for the quality but the memories.
Every once in a while I dig out my old Remington 121 Fieldmaster that my dad taught me how to shoot with. It was his first rifle as well. Crazy accurate as many old .22’s are.
Even if it never gets used much, I bet it works just the same as it did in 1975. Now it’s time to put it to use! Can’t take it with you, if you know what I mean, lol.

Good luck getting by the phalanx of stealth dealer/buyers at the door. They hang on you like hemorrhoids.
Good to see nothing has changed.

How much do you want to pay?
$40 mags do the exact same thing that $10 surplus ones do.
All of mine are Chip McCormick Shooting Stars or Mec-Gar. Right in the sweet spot of price so as not to be cheap, and not to be overly extravagant. Mec-Gars are OEM for many, many manufacturers these days.

I guess it’s too pedestrian for the booze snobs these days.

I honesty think there is a lot of overreaction going on in response to this ruling.
It’s the unlicensed dealers this is targeted at. Those guys who always have a couple of tables minimum at gun shows who always have brand new in the box handguns, or ones that keep going back to the gun store to buy the same thing over and over again then flipping them, etc., and most importantly, promising to do so for others.
I have not been to a show in over 4 years but I do recall one of the regulars who always had lots of brand new stuff…all “private sale”. If I’m not mistaken he made the news a few years ago after being busted for being “engaged in the business”.

Mothballs.
Or do some folks still use them? Just typing this brings back the smell of my grandfather's house.
Start hanging around enough old people you’ll catch a whiff for sure.
I can’t stand the smell of them…the mothballs that is, lol.

As I understand your posting, the rifle was produced in 1944. I believe Yugoslavia was still under German occupation. Does this rifle have the German marks?
Preduzece 44 was a Yugoslavian gun factory that reworked German K98’s after WWII before they started making M48’s. It literally translates to “factory 44”, not the original year of production.

He’s just farsighted, common among those in command of weapons that fire over the horizon.

Got an email from a Hank Schrader of the ATF telling me of the penalties for selling guns without a license etc.
Hank Schrader was Walter White's DEA agent brother-in-law in Breaking Bad. I think someone is yanking your chain.

have a hard time agreeing with 15 years.
The penalty is overly excessive considering what the average scumbag gets away with.

No doubt they failed as parents. But holding someone responsible for the actions of another?
It’s not as simple as that. It is holding parents responsible for the actions of their minor child. Big difference.

I don’t think they need firearms in the classroom. It’s not their individual responsibility to protect the children.
You bring up an excellent point. It is often said that one who carries a firearm for self defense is not responsible for the protection of others.
Is the state now making teachers responsible for the safety of kids in their classrooms using deadly force? Will they have the same training and legal protections of LE?

Yep, both of those were fun. I remember a .460 magnum, a .338 Lapua, and a .308 AK.
That .308 AK was probably what set off the uptight neighbor. Without a doubt one of the loudest guns I’ve ever heard.

I'll say this about sales tax. I think TN has the right idea with their higher sales tax. Back in CT, sales tax was low but all the other taxes were high. At least here, even people visiting, or just driving thru are helping to pay the state. Its not just on the shoulders of the homeowners like many other states.
And, I know y'all like to bitch about rich,liberal people moving here, raising the real estate prices etc. But try not to lump all of us together. I was a firefighter in CT, definitely not a job to have if you want to get rich. CT is like most other states, where the cities are liberal but the outlying rural areas are not. Me and all my friends are conservative, gun loving, hunters, hard working folks just like you. I moved here to get away from those winters.
Not to try to change the political climate here. And most of the folks I have met here are the same. I know more liberals that are locals than I do folks that recently moved here.
Are you a retired Firefighter from CT? With a guaranteed pension?
I ask because there are also one helluva lot of people moving in with pensions from those liberal states. Pensions are nearly a thing of the past in our conservative utopia.

Knoxville has excellent health care. Just know the competition for it is putting a strain on services.
It is putting a massive strain on healthcare resources. Knoxville doesn’t have the medical infrastructure to handle this kind of growth, especially from a regional standpoint.
Another big problem is resources for the elderly. Not only are there not enough independent and assisted living facilities, many transplants are bringing their parents or whatever with them and putting them directly into those kinds of places. Not to mention possibly being at the age themselves they might need one soon.

Well, the term “common sense” has been in use forever. Those who throw it around the most usually don’t know what they’re talking about.

If we stopped all the foreign funding and aid, maybe we could have nice things for ourselves too. Like good roads and infrastructure. I know Europe’s real proud of that universal healthcare subsidized by American taxpayers in the form of NATO security guarantees.
And if we stopped all foreign funding we will essentially be flushed down the toilet of world history. Maybe Chinese and Russian children will be taught in future generations of the capitalist pigs that lived on this continent, but only in terms of reinforcing their own superiority.

It was the #1 intake port for automobiles in 2023. It intakes a lot more than just euro stuff.
Then the price of new cars just went up. Like they’re already affordable.

If it where me I’d start by studying this inside and out (and subsequently keeping up to date with the latest version). https://www.tn.gov/content/dam/tn/twra/documents/guide/TN-Hunting-Guide.pdf
