If you are in the market for a nice Swedish Mauser, Crossroads Guns in Fountain City (Knoxville, Tn) has one!  It's an import with a SAMCO Import stencil done discretely on the bottom of the barrel, behind the clean rod.  He is asking $400.  He also has an M1 Garand priced at $1200.  I didn't think to look at the manufacturer.  He also has a S&W .45ACP revolver (old M&P) that he is asking $500.  I got all excited about the Mauser.  Wish I could afford it, but I just got a new to me revolver and my funds are low at the moment.  I have nothing else I want to sell or trade.  Such is life. <sigh>

Yeah, the Sequester got it. It was the best campground in the park. :( Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk

We love Big South Fork!  If you car camp, then Fall Creek Falls is nice.  If we go to the Smokies, we like Abrams Creek for camping.

  I was there this afternoon and it was dead! Worst I have ever seen this show.  Father's Day might have had something to with it, too.  But heard a lot of table owners complaining about not selling much the whole weekend.  Prices actually didn't seem much out of whack from what I see here.

  Actually, once you go through several years of AYSO and 3 years of middle school soccer, you get used to the rules and enjoy the game!  I'm watching Columbia and Greece right now on ABC.  It's far superior to baseball! :)

I've owned several 1911s through the years.  Now I own a Springfield Loaded Edition in SS and it's been a great pistol! I highly recommend it!  But if I were just getting into 1911s, I would not spend $1500 on a new one (but then again, I would never spend $1500 for any firearm).  Instead, I would buy a RIA Government model and a thousand rounds of ammunition and learn to shoot it.  Then I would take the rest of the money I saved from the initial $1500 and do any upgrades I wanted to do to it.  You would come out in the end, with a fine custom pistol!   The only thing I wish my Springfield had was checkering on the front of the grip.

Exactly, though I don't want as a survival gun.  I just like a rifle with ion sights.  A rifle seems incomplete with our them.

Just as I was getting ready to turn in, the power came on. It was out a little over 4 hours.

A storm rolled through North Knoxville. We have a large tree down in the upper part of the driveway and the power is out. Still raining a little. I was never the one to mix wet grass and asphalt with a chainsaw. Reckon it will wait till tomorrow. So I am setting here, catching up on TGO. Anyone else setting in the dark?

Puleo's a great place to eat and I too LOVE their Shrimp and Grits! YUM!!!

It has always been my understanding that the cartridge was the difference between a Battle Rifle and an Assault Rifle. Battle Rifles were chambered for "Full Power" rifle Cartridge, such as a 7.62x51 NATO, 30-06, .303, 7.62x54, 8mm, etc,etc. An Assault Rifle is chambered for what is known as an Intermediate cartridge, like the 5.56x39, 5.56x45 and the 7.62x39.    There are some AK variant weapons  chambered in 7.62x51 NATO, in use in military forces around the world, but they are primarily used as light machine guns.  Israel and South Africa quickly come to mind. 

When I commented, I didn't know what Bud's price was.  My comment was based on Steelharp's comment about the price being around $700 and on Runco's comment about the SIG trigger compared to a Glock's trigger.  Based on those comments, why would someone spend the extra $200 on a SIG? Now, that you have straighten me out on the price, I stand corrected.

Buy a Glock and spend the $200 you saved from not buying the SIG, and buy ammunition.  Seems to be a no brainer to me.  I'm sure it's a nice pistol, but no way it's better than a Glock at that price.

Thank god, I had several bricks put back!!!  I need to start looking for some again!

I have a Blackhawk convertible.  If a TEOTWAWKI situation arose, it would be one of my go to guns.  It's literally built like a tank, simple and few moving parts, and shoots several different calibers.  Yes it's slow to reload, but it's not going to be my primary. That would be a long gun and I can assure you, it wouldn't be slow to reload.    This not the gun to EDC, though, because it is built like a tank!  I'd also love to have a .357 carbine, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.  I have other wants on the list, before that one.

Guess I got him a little riled, but figured he had no right to come to this forum, calling anybody out, with only 10 posts to his credit.

Not a good way to influence people on this site, my friend.  Many of us have been to a real shootin' war, and don't care for another, unless it's forced upon us. So don't come in here throwing around that 3% BS and thumping your chest and looking down on us "fairweather ppl".  As long as we still have free elections to elected our own "dumbass" politicians, we still got a free country.  We aren't close to the point of a rebellion yet.

China attempted to put North Vietnam in their place back in the late 70's. Didn't workout real well for them and they ended up losing some territory to the NVA. China might want to think a little about that.

Wow! Makes me want a second one!

Louis L'Amour wrote the book Jubal Sacket and this was the pistol Jubal carried.  The Sacket Series of books is a must read for all Tennesseans! http://www.louislamour.com/sackett/index.htm

Love my Izula.  I would love to pick up a ESEE 3 next.

If I know trouble is coming, 1911 all day long.  EDC, Colt Agent snubbie, but I would be just as comfortable with a Ruger LCR or a S&W, 442/642.  I give the little Colt the edge for holding one more round.

I break them by shooting them...  Every rifle I've owned usually shot better than me.  Unless you are a serious target shooter, I don't know that it really matters.  And even then, most serious target shooters change out their barrels every so often.  And those barrels they change out, would be fine for most everyone else, whether you are a plinker or a hunter.

Love my little Izula!  As for the 6, it's just a bit too big for me.  I have Paul Hargis 5" Custom, already, but I wouldn't mind having the Esee 3!  Also wouldn't mind having a Esee with a scandi grind, though, I wouldn't want the coating it, like they use on their other knives.
