Never dealt with them but I will add them to my list along with, Dick's, Delta, US Bank and brussell sprouts among others.

BINGO. So with the new push for legislation I decided maybe I needed to go ahead and order more now before the prices get ridiculous again. I thought I better check inventory to decide what I might need. After completion of inventory I decided to just forget it, I'm good.

Combination of the two answers above, because you can and even if you don't develop a liking for it you can pass it down. The recipient may be very appreciative. Not to mention, all my ARs have appreciated more in value than the investment would have in my savings account.

Has the panic buying started? FL gun show draws 1000's

I noticed Tractor supply was sold out of shovels -
I have been sitting back reading some of the generalized comments on this thread that are painting LEOs with a very broad brush as a result of the despicable actions of this Officer. There may have been some extenuating circumstance driving his inaction, but I cannot honestly imagine what it would have been. I retired from my Law Enforcement career after 25 years and yes, I have run to the gunfire on many occasions...and still do today as demonstrated last year in my community. I entered my career in LE as a public servant, I swore to Serve and Protect the citizens, and did to the best of my ability. I don't care what some court may have determined, it was my duty and I readily accepted such as do 99% of the Officers wearing a badge. Yes, there is the 1% still out there that were hired and should not have been, and then retained through negligent retention. Some of that 1% may well be "good people" but not cut out to be Officers for they are not of the "Sheepdog" mentality. Let's take care and condemn the actions of the individual when warranted, not the profession. Do not let the actions of a few soil the reputation of the whole. We as gun owners in general fall prey to this every time some nimrod skins his ignorance with a firearm and anti-gunners lump all into the same pot. Much as though some of the comments have done regarding LEOs. With the information available, the Officer disgraced himself and the profession at a insurmountable cost. Prayers for those lost and their families, prayers for the 99% to endure and prevail, and the 1% to find another profession.

Before my kids started sports I was heavy into tournament fishing...they are 21 and 22 now so it has been awhile. I used to be very satisfied with Berkley Powerline Fireline (Braid) and P-Line (Mono) for light line applications. Braid requires quality rod eyes so as not to cut/groove them and the P-Line is prone to twist on open face spinners if your take up bearing isn't lubed well. Both have little to no stretch, excellent knot strength when using polimar knots. Just don't set the hook too hard or you will hurt your wrist due to the no stretch part. That was probably more info than you wanted/needed but I got on a roll.

Same with me and the price was right.
-
I went ahead as a just in case and ordered the 7 PMAGs and Case on the daily deals. If they don't run the sale again on the AKs I can use them with my WASR.
-
I didn't see any in stock for the last few days. I am beginning to wonder if current events may have put an end to the sales.

From what I have read, the Gen 2s all have billet trunions which was supposed to have solved that concern. It seems the first gens had cast trunions. Again, not first hand knowledge, I read it on the interweb so it must be true. I keep hearing good things so I guess if they run them again I will have to hit the button. Thanks for the update.

I know, I know... thread resurrection. I am just curious how this has worked out for you. I have been arguing with myself about buying one of the MOEKOV PSA AKs and I think I am going to lose the argument. Are you still as pleased today as you were in August? My booger hooker is hovering over the buy button just waiting for them to list again with free shipping.

Minimum Age to purchase a handgun in TN
tacops replied to RottenBlood's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I remember when the agency I was with hired an Officer that was under 19. He attended TLETA and became a commissioned Officer. He had to ask other Officers to buy ammo for him to go to the range. It was hard on him. -
I had a DW 4" .357 in 1982 and had a chance to buy a pistol pak for $500 that same year. I thought it was just too much money at the time.

My wife would say...just move it a little to the left.

Prayers up for the both of you. It sounds as though he has an excellent foundation.
-
Mr. Mildot and Hipower, I tip my hat to the both of you, class act on both counts. My condolences to Mr. Mildot for having to return to never never land. Maybe one day you can just come to Tennessee on a one way trip.
-
Never mind, I'll walk.

I'm sitting here scanning the forum while waiting on my wife to get ready to go eat. At least now I can add another to the list of places we are not going.

Congratulations!
-
Sure glad to see you have made it home. Good to see you back on here as well. Take time to heal and don't over do it.

Just FYI, around here folks refer to our bodies of water as Norris Lake, Watts Bar Lake, Loudon (they don't bother saying the word "lake"). When you say the word "Lake" first people start assuming you might be from the north side of the Mason-Dixon. Welcome to the region and good luck finding what you seek. You might look around the Roane County area close to Watts Bar. It provides plenty of structure fishing and not too far from everywhere. Around here folks call it the "Promised Land", because most of the land is promised to a niece, nephew, son or daughter.

That's great news! I am anxious to see him posting again.
