Today's ammo watch: Outpost Armory near the boro has a bunch of 40 sw ammo as well as small boxed c carry ammo on hand as of 6 pm today.No magazines period except for select pistol mags.back wall w black rifles looks like a white peg board.about 10 50's on the counter. reloading supplies are fine but will diminish due to demand. There was roughly 50K rounds left in 1000 and 500 round cases.     I figured I'd start this thread so regular and mobile users could find COTS ammo based on member reports. title your post w ammo watch and the caliber you found. This is all part of the forum contingency plan to help deal w ammo shortages until the light shines at the end of the hole.   hope this helps 

We HAD school resource officers in Davidson county.Once the money ran out so did the school cops.the school cop thing worked. Thinking more about this,if the media would black out the personal info, goals and or messages these sh*t bags, have, that engage in these "i want attention" killings,maybe these turds will go away with the mindset that no one gives a rats ass if they take life. The one pulling the switch or the one injecting them with fluid to make their lives stop should be the only ones who care as they have successfully solved the problem of fixing a bad irreparable case of stupid....... We can speculate all day but i truly wish the media would not embellish these tragedies.The ill minds that commit these heinous acts thrive on attention received during their last grandstanded act. These shootings have been nothing but food for tyrants with mental issues. One of the best ways to get confessions on acts similar to these is to tell the shooter( if they live long enough) that no one will know anything about what they did and it will be covered up to where all will believe the shooter will die in jail best known as a child rapist........its at this point they spew enough confession material as to where the jury can self induce coma and deliver a 30 second verdict......... sad day indeed  when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns Ezekiel 25:17 Path of the righteous man, fabricated but true.....

Bloomberg should stick to policing financial thieves,not firearms owners.Once again you cant fix stupid... :slap:

Just goes to show ya,verbal speculation by an idiot, glamorized  by the greedy media, has lead the masses to the asylum to rule while high on .......

I hit it as well, I always liked  MBoro and Hendersonville. Hard to find any game show worthy super deals but its nice to put your hands on something before u buy it.I found a front sight thats just weird and hard to find. Its a sight to go on top of a gas block on an ar upper.If i hadnt had gone i would have spent all night machining a mount.... crowd was ok late sat afternoon.didnt go sun,I guess were kind of fortunate to have fairly decent gun shows.Ill fairly state that all of the vendors run tic checks on buyers, I've seen a few purchasers that failed TIC get turned away."Our vendors" do make the effort to keep things clean.Bloomberg's loophole must be the zero he got in return for his own investigation funds spent flagging the horrible crimes committed at our gun shows LOL. He always forgets  the big ATF sale that just recently cost a Latina celebrity her life, as well as a ICE officer.......dumb ass... both shows are good the rest in a 50 mile radius are a waste of 8 to 15 bucks plus fuel to get in and see the same junk..The only mis perception i get is one would think if you spend money w the same vendors they'd appreciate it....makes ya wonder if buds and gun broker aint so bad....

How many rounds should one bring? is there practice? what time does it start? is it 7:30 am?any other limitations besides no optics? it says single elimination starts at 12:30 is that just for finals? or the whole matches start time? how many folks usually participate? and... how much 20.00? for all of this fun? thanks looks enticing!! :up:

thanks for the coupon,i love the mboro show!

If your area is in the footprint clear wireless,unlimited 4g internet for 50.00 per month,add a roku2 box for 70.00,one time purchase, 8 bucks a mo for netflix Stay away from ATT,its only a matter of time and theyll get ya,HARD i might add,uverse is junk,the boxes suck,and you cant go back from uverse to dsl,your screwed.comcast is good,just more $$ on a contract........ i pay 59.00 per mo,no contracts,plenty o movies,and free dig tv. if you travel,u can take roku and the clear box with you anywhere theres 4g clear service

My kids watched this after they turned 16 and learned,and know, to properly respect officers questions and how to answer.It wasn't about the weed part.Theres 2 parts to this video,the latter is what they watched,about being pulled over. I have more of a problem with kids idolizing honey boo boo and nutcase family more than watching an aclu video...... see how barney fife has a bad attitude and the kid doesnt give him any grief. THATS whats important. I agree the weed thing isnt the best but the ability to communicate properly and hold ground smoothly is. I want my kids to know what their true rights are,but to be respectful about it.Wanna see bad impact? go to compton california and see what happens between cops and citizens that doesnt make the news. there is a difference between enforcement and en farce men.

check this out,theres 2 parts,made my kids watch it,then i tested them on it,one of the best things ive ever seen on the tube...but you have to watch the whole thing...best way to handle being pulled over.   i think you're actions were fine and proper,you complied and left unscathed.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDJrQBwJpqk

hmm, i dont know why a park ranger would work traffic at midnight unless there was a bolo or advisement that included a vehicle that looked like yours.....lots to speculate about but considering 2 guys w 2 women and a child in what im assuming is an average vehicle wouldn't lead me to a lemee see your gun episode.Me thinks ranger rick should stick to fire prevention unless there was something else that was going on that no one knew about, except for him, and his comm center....ya never know,but the disarming in front of everyone was questionable but then i wouldn't expect anything but that when it comes to gungy rambo minded squirrel chasers.....especially in  the gatlinburg area.... urban legend has it that a kid that jumped the gate at pigeon forge splash world 3 years ago is still locked up.....<eg>.

Something that has't been mentioned is that the primary calls contributing to the most officer sustained injuries by firearm are traffic stops and domestics. Guys that work patrol have to be on their toes,complacency can lead to loss of life.This post doesn't mention why the car was stopped.On a side note for educational reading read the account of Mark Chestnut MNPD who was shot multiple times during a traffic stop. Chestnut was experienced,good natured,and knew his task well.Hes the kind of guy you wanted to be your neighbor.One would maybe understand the need for caution,especially working interdiction.Id like to know the rest of the story w the squirrel catcher traffic stop....why did he pull the vehicle over? 

Most rangers tend to get carried away.To me a hcp holder has passed a bg check and shouldn't have any past felonies.... The probability of an accidental discharge increases by 3rd party disarming.Were talking a traffic stop not a checkpoint roust in a hostile area. Geez. I've heard sumner co le has been chastising hcp holders as well.bad bad bad.. I'm on the same page as patton. I fear the hidden crap as well. On a side note, its not good for anyone in le to intimidate a reasonable person,especially one that would jump in to assist an officer in distress,or an officer thats getting his ass kicked roadside by a handful of thugs. Of course a squirrel catcher wouldn't think of that as that scenario wouldn't happen in a park,typically..... I think in this day and age its best to say zero during a traffic stop. As officer wages decrease idiots increase,I advise everyone to check out aclu take on traffic stops and searches. Good stuff on you tube.Working in le I respect an educated person. Especially when they excercise their rights.

The russian dude is the kid on "fps russia" on you tube. always doing "something" w various weapons,pretty funny sometimes..

My ex wife,hang a lost dog, reward offered sign up, and shell catch em and run with em back to the owner for the reward.make sure they have to be returned to a non existent address in juarez mexico,the owners name is Dee Yay thanks ps if you need me to supply dogs,pictures or anything to help let me know.

man,what a good question,i'm new to it as well,i spent hours and hours reading and watching videos as none of my friends re load for a variety of reasons.The few guys i did find were too busy to train me.The shop i bought my gear from was of little help,spent serious money and after the sale all they could give me was were smart you're stupid attitudes until i caught em selling me a used die set for new price...i wont go back needless to say.. i bought a pistol a while back from lebanon gun shop,if theyre class is as friendly as they are in general,ill pop 100 for class in a heartbeat!! I buggered up a lot of rounds getting it right,spent a lot of time pulling em apart too.100 would be a great investment imho

I believe that if there is anything that will interrupt the gas flow,the pistol will rear up and puke.the gas port is about 1/16 in dia.the hole in the gas block was almost 3/16.The gas tube hole wasnt lined up right as well,so i aligned everything using a dremel,dig caliper, and 20/20 vision. re assembled again tested works good.Of course ill fix it till its broke because its been my problem child.well see how it works when the noveske pig arrives..... <efg> actually ran 200 rounds through it this afternoon ran like a sewing machine, thanks for all the help from everyone. having all 3 holes ligned up where theres nothing inhibiting the gas flow seems to be the trick,making the hole in the 4 rail block oblong didnt upset anything

port alignment update : i opened up the hole in the aftermarket block to be in line with the hole in the tube. i did this because the pistol started showing ejection malfunction. ran 5 rounds through it today to test all good. other lesson learned: be careful with what u buy at gun shows ie where i bought the 4 rail block. I think the person i got the block from got a deal on blocks w hidden issues. anyhow all good just wanted to pass it on

Buying at a gun show is no different than buying at a local gun shop.All laws and rules are the same and apply.If you pass the background check you can buy and leave w a gun. At a gun show the variety is larger with more buying choices.Finding someone experienced that you trust is an excellent way to go as cardcutter advised. I wouldn't recommend a gun show as a good place for your first purchase.Like anywhere else the gunshows are there to sell.sellers come and go,you get good and bad sellers everywhere.Look around at the show,get a feel for what you might like,it would be a good experience.Probably a good idea to buy your first locally so you can get help when you need it as a valued previous customer. You may pay a little more but if its a good shop,the value added service is worth more than what you'd save at a gun show.Especially if the guys at the shop are cool and dont try to fleece you. Gun shows are good if you know what youre looking for and are on top of your pricing.You have to be careful as some of the gun show guys will change parts from kits to sell separately for more money, so know what you want,know what you should get,and if youre not sure ask someone you trust if not sure.The shows can be fun and addictive and educational, to a point.The last thing you want is to get a deal on something thats got problems that can cause damage in the long run.....The best buy is an educated buy,Hope this helps,enjoy!

OK here's the deal,problem solved. I yanked the gas block etc last night.Evidently the port in the barrel was clogged with trash,rusty nasty stuff.I took a small bit and cleaned it out,punched the barrel to rid debris, done.Next step, the gas block hole and gas port were not properly aligned after the mfgr re installed the gas block.Port in the barrel was at 12 oclock. The hole in the 4 rail version is at a diff distance than the single rail block.properly installed with good alignment there should be a 4 mm gap between the edge of the block and the edge of the grip where you can barely see the gas tube. Bottom line is after cleaning the port and re aligning the gas block alls well,fired 2 test rounds,it cycled just fine. The lesson learned is the gas block and barrel port alignment and flow should be checked during the build or rebuild especially when maneuvering components,but don't fix it till its broke.When performing any operation with the barrel take the time to clean the port. This upper was brand new.I was told "all of our uppers are test fired".........well ,last but not least i've learned to make port alignment part of my checklist,timing applies to autos,and when in doubt check basic specs,never forgetting when you hear hoof beats think horses not zebras. Thanks for the help guys!

im disappointed that so many focus on the scam and negative aspect of this. the story came from a woman that saw the event,and sent a nice letter to the pd.Of course this is subject to authentication as always but its not unusual for a nypd guy to actually help someone.NYC changed dramatically after 911.the event seemed to bring emrg responders closer for a variety of reasons but attitudes changed. what that cop did was no diff then helping someone at the range downrange or in a lot fixing a womans flat.even if it was a staged event the message has decent value. imagine if some of the gun shop owners carried that ideaology.....the value of doing something nice for someone is priceless,the cost of doing evil is everyones expense...

ill get the measurements,partial unlocking is possible, face of the bolt had a burned look to it. thanks

They wont come on here to do any damage control or promise better treatment because they fear it might actually cost something to win customers over......theres actually a concept where people dont mind paying more for something because they get treated with respect..imagine that.I respect business owners and I understand the cost of doing business,I also understand some customers will never be happy regardless,but in this case the masses seem to over rule the single guest...

Home brew AR pistol,new,using amer eagle 223 55 g ammo pistol wont extract fired round unless its done manually. am inclined to believe its gas block issues; any input appreciated especially trouble shooting process. am leaning towards: Temp swap bolt cg w known working bolt cg to eliminate extractor issues re check gas block for alignment of ports/holes Have already checked for obstructions in the gas tube,none could this be a timing issue? and if so how do you check upper was setup and checked,got it from J and T thanks in advance

Meh, FGS impressed me with the proud inventory.some of it was priced beyond MAP,and ridiculous.I was looking for a holster one day and couldn't live without it.I found what i needed,not wanted but needed in a box w other used holsters marked 20.00. i checked out and they charged me 30.00,i told em the whole box was marked 20 guy said it is what it is,i replied well theres no price on any of em it says 20 on the box? he said nope its 30.00. i paid and left wont go back. pure priniciple.the holster by the way was an old safariland for a full size hk pistol,had a metal strap,needed it for a railed pistol. nothing special,it was a size thing. The gunsmith is friendly but the rest in there just love to talk to customers in a condescending manner to make em feel like idiots.a shop w a range not too far away went under for the same reason.....so much for promoting the er sport. i didnt know they would haggle,they offered me 200.00 for a marlin 1894 in new condition towards a sig pistol i wanted.the same rifle was going for nearly 600.00 in some stores and by priv owners.god i felt so special... not trying to hijack a post but ill list my fav local shops to buy guns within a 25 mile radius of franklin. Armadillo arms franklin ( gunsmith and shop) best of all,excellent service will order whatever u want,fun place to go to w great attitudes.honest and fair.around the corner from FGS 1 goodlettsville gun shop phil will find you what u want if not in the case 2 Specialty Arms La vergne lots of inventory,they love to wheel and deal lotsa sigs n glocks lotsa rugers good guys. 3 Shooters m boro road next door to gun city new shop great attitude good prices 4 east nashville gun shop ( bills place) will find u what u want nice to deal with good prices 5 DT Rivergate good guys good prices good price on ffl transfers
