Nice shootin'. I do have more fun with simpler guns. Pull the trigger and hit the target. That's all I need out of the game.

I'm in. Rain just makes it an adventure.

I will have my 91/30, complete with bayonet attached, up at Norris tomorrow for the shoot. Primarily as a convenience. I can just sit there and poke holes in the target and change them out without firing a shot.

2 hours to go according to Ruger's countdown clock on their website.

Come on now, Matt.

There's a gun show at the Expo next weekend.

That AK looks great! Wood is really nice.

Congrats. Pictures mean it happened! Bring it up to Norris Saturday for the ET TGO shoot.

Have you ever been there? Just curious as I've been conducting an unscientific study the past 20 years of why East Tennesseans hate Memphis so much.

Big fan of the Expert here. That's what I was shooting the last time we were down in Mike's little holler. Performs flawlessly for me where the Remington stuff causes problems.

Was born and raised in Memphis. Never stepped foot in Graceland until I was about 28 and had been in Knoxville for 8 years. I don't know about now, but it's not really something the natives do, as least not anyone I knew. 2009 is kind of an anniversary for Mud Island (the sand bar, not the houses) as it did not even exist before 1909. It started forming 100 years ago.

I'll endeavor to be there around 11:00 am. If I recall correctly there might be a plastic -house on site but cannot guarantee. Have not been there in a while. I do know there are no coke machines, sandwich machines or any other such conviences.

Will James Earl Jones narrate at the show?

For all you M1 fans, here's a great episode of Mail Call with none other than R. Lee whoopin' up the Garand... Hulu - Mail Call: Episode 3 - Watch the full episode now. You can't beat the Gunny!

If she's as tight as you say...wait a minute what I mean to say is if it patterns they way you suggest would make a great gun for turkey shoots in the fall. Saw a shotty like that at one last year, dude took home a bunch of prizes. I would never consider cutting it. But that's just who I am. Never be worth anything to anybody if butchered and another piece of history is gone.

What time do the festivities begin? I guess we ought to set some kind of time for everyone to think about. But it's all casual. And for everyone that's never been up to Norris go to the PD first! I don't know if they ever come up and check who's shooting but the man says you best have a receipt if they do.

Well crap! If it wasn't for work half the day I might just have been there with you guys. Looks like ya'll had a good time! But I did put the one and only coat of BLO on a Garand stock this afternoon (after about 10 of pure tung oil) and broke the front sight loose and adjusted so it would be proper! Did Mike.357 wear that steel army hat all day?

Much to the chagrin of the Commerical Appeal, Knoxville NS and other ignorant newspapers and TV stations of this state, restaurants are not going to start posting signs to keep guns out. Since the great majority of all the eateries that people get all warm and fuzzy about (at least in Knoxville) are crappy national chains, it will take some time for any type of ban. For the other 5 or 10 % of the restaurants in the state that are owned and operated locally. Very few will post. First they have no idea what's going on, nor do they care! Secondly, it's hard enough to compete.

The Sphinx 3000! Why didn't you say so! I like it just for the name.

Soak turtle in whiskey until well seasoned. Removed turtle and drink whiskey!

Never heard of 'em. Obviously a CZ clone which indicates fine accuracy to me.

Welcome or is it welcome back? Nice pics! Your work area is far too organized and clean. How do you find anything?

Who is this guy and why is he not bragging on being an AMERICAN, if he loves this country so much?

Amen.

That poll is in regards to carrying guns in bars. Last I heard, we were gonna carry in restaurants. Either way, added one to the + column.
