Excited for this. Lets turn it on, I've got some stuff to sell!

Not a trade offer per se, and I don't remember the exact pricing, but once I found a Henry AR-7 in I believe the TN Trader. Called them up, they said it was like new, I drove 20 minutes to go buy it. It was + or - $20 from the new price on Bud's if I recall correctly, but worth it to avoid taxes, transfer fee, hassle, etc on a $200 firearm. Showed up cash in hand and fully ready to make a purchase. What I assume were a husband and Wife showed up. Showed me the AR-7 and walked me through all of how it "worked". I liked it but noticed that the buttstock cap, the piece that keeps the whole thing waterproof and whatnot, was pretty badly damaged. I told them that because of this it definitely wasn't "like new". They insisted it was new, hadn't been shot, but that it was stored on a shelf and something was piled on top of it and must have deformed/damaged the stock. It was obviously damaged. They wanted a sale and kept pushing that I could probably buy a new end piece. I think to just end the deal and go home I offered something like $100 or $150 since I would "have to buy another end-peice". One of them grabbed the rifle out of my hands and the two of them got out of their quicker than I had hoped:)

I started out carrying in a molded leather holster. I took the firearm out about 2 to 4 times a month and wiped it down with a silicone rag. Now I carry in a molded kydex holster. I take it out about 2-4 times a year and wipe everything down with a silicone rag. If the holster is pretty dirty I rinse it off in the sink. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure. I think maybe a waterproof storage area. Fire starter, kindling, etc. I'm not positive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nah man cannot do PayPal. I have a ~$2,500 check from my airline (I'm a pilot) that's uncashed. I don't have time to cash it so I'll send it to you and sign my name to it. You can cash it, keep $200 for yourself ($50 for the processing fee of course) and then the remainder for your troubles. You can just send me the rest back in cash. win/win

If you don't want to split the winnings, forward them to me. I'll gladly give them my account number to have them put the money there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My main issue when handling one was that it felt cheap. Honestly if Ruger were to take that survival rifle AR-7 concept and make a 10/22 version of it, it would sell very well.

Like I'm sure many here probably have received, I too received an email from MagPul about their upcoming "Backpacker" stock. https://www.magpul.com/products/x-22-backpacker-stock-ruger-10-22-takedow I think it's darn neat. It's awfully close to completely replacing the AR-7. I wouldn't think the Ruger/MagPul combination would float. However, it looks like a very, very innovative and intriguing stock. I think I may have just made the decision to eventually get a takedown and this stock. All of that being said, perhaps a Ruger 22/45 or MKIII would serve the purpose just as well.

It's a pity what a mess this is. I love as much reciprocity as possible. I also see that the 18-20 year old military thing was meant as a positive thing. Selfishly though I wish it hadn't have happened. Also too bad other states cannot simply state that they will honor TN permits for those 21 or older. I too feel the states will drop like flies soon in terms of reciprocity with TN. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Right now it's $12.99. Ballistic: Advanced Edition – JBM Ballistics Engine, Trajectory Calculator, Rangefinder & Shooting Target Log by Peak Studios LLC https://appsto.re/us/yS0es.i

True, but I don't think anyone ever really showed it to be detrimental did they?

Haha. Only that an FFL would use a 4473 for a transfer instead of a BOS such as the one above. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That BOS is called a 4473:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For those that haven't seen this yet I thought I would post it just for you:)

Gracias mi amigo

See, here I was this whole time thinking that the "trendy" thing to do was to own something exotic, expensive, and flashy. Those that prefer simplicity, reliability, and the holy grail of value buy a Glock.

I don't disagree that a person should be careful in determining and following the law. With that being said, I'm throwing this in the pot. Could an 18 year old hunt with a pistol?

Yeah, that's not right. Anyone over 18 that isn't otherwise restricted can own one. http://smartgunlaws.org/minimum-age-to-purchase-possess-firearms-in-tennessee/ A dealer can only sale a handgun to people 21 and older. Technically for private sales you can buy one at 18 even though many sellers will play it safe.

See, I have always had the exact opposite in Cleveland. I cannot think of a single issue I've ever had with UPS. Fedex on the other hand has randomly rescheduled several deliveries over the years. Also, just this week, I'm 90% certain I saw a Fedex employee toss a package from the road onto my neighbors porch. Obviously UPS could be guilty of the same, however I very much suspect it generally just comes down to the employee.

Awesome! My Wife and I will be enjoying this over the next few weeks. Thanks!!!

Hopefully those other 40 rounds got repackaged and mixed in with another shipment to a nice family in New York. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh I see the way it is. There was going to be a really good point. Then I realized the earlier box said PMC instead of PSA. Different case entirely. Running on too much coffee these days and not enough sleep.

I think it may also be worth nothing that I don't think the box shows "PSA" anywhere on the box. Does it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
