Update: I ordered the gun on Monday. Here it is Friday and it hasn't been shipped yet. Just got off the phone with them. My order should be processed today. However, they don't ship on Fridays and Monday is President's Day. Should be shipped on Tuesday. I find this quite odd as every time I've bought from CMP in the past, the order was processed and the gun shipped the next day. Apparently CMP is short staffed and running behind. Just thought y'all might want to be aware of this.

I recently got Amazon Prime Video. Reacher: Former Army investigator gets involved in mysteries. Great show! Highly recommend! The Boys: What if super heroes were a bunch of self serving, demented azzholes? Entertaining, but warning: very violent and bloody.

I always wanted to make music. But one thing just kept getting in the way. A complete lack of talent.

This it?

If you find something, post a link. I'd be interested in something like that.

Current gasoline is only good for maybe 4-6 months due to the government mandated Ethanol added to it. Its the Ethanol that breaks down quickly and ruins the gas. However, adding a good fuel stabilizer to stored gas can greatly improve its life. Treated gas will still be good after 2 years. I had one can that I sorta forgot about and it was still good after 3 years.

Done

I finally got through on the phone. It was quick and easy. Only took about 10 minutes. Ordered a Service Grade gun. Pics when it gets here.

Get some shims and raise the front mount or get a mount made for that rifle.

I got an e-mail Friday saying its my turn. Kinda confused me as last time they called me directly. But apparently, that's what they're doing now. I tried to call several times Friday afternoon, but the lady I'm supposed to talk to was always busy. Gonna try again on Monday.

ZOMBIE THREAD! 16 years! That's gotta be a new record.

Nice gun. I don't normally go for fancy, but I could be tempted by that. I wasn't aware that Tisas had a place in Knoxville. Is it a distribution center or do they actually have a factory there?

I have no idea. In In much of the world using a supressor is considered good manners.

Part of the problem is that you have a bunch of rich guys who have decided that nice classic guns are an "investment". The last few years have seen prices skyrocket on good older guns. This in turn has made the entire used gun market go up. What was a $500 gun just a year or so ago is suddenly selling for $800 or more.

The liberals have hit a new, all time low. They're posting on social media that Toby was a racist, fascist and they're glad he's dead. Just shows you that liberals have no respect for anybody that disagrees with them, even the dead. "F" 'em!

Most of the issues on this gun have already been pointed out. Just to add, the 6" barrel isn't near as popular as a 4". That will affect price some. However, its a desirable pinned and recessed model with honest wear. I'd put it in the $700-800 range.

Thanks for the offer. I will keep the FLGR and put it in the box the gun came in. If I should ever decide to sell it, I'll put it back just like it came.

Country music pretty much lost me years ago. But I did like Toby Kieth. He will be missed.

PM sent! Thank you very much. I knew you guys wouldn't let me down.

I bought a used 1911 that has a FLGR. I hate a FLGR! I plan to change it out to a standard type. I already have a spare recoil spring plug in stock. Here's the problem. Brownell's wants almost as much for shipping as the part costs. Midway has one that will do (although not my first choice) but estimates delivery at two weeks or more! Anybody in the Memphis area got a standard 1911 recoil spring guide rod they're willing to sell? Yeah, I know this should be in the classifieds. I just figured this would get noticed quicker.

PM sent.

I generally try to buy American and will pay a couple of bucks more for it. But I have to admit, that sometimes the foreign made stuff is not only cheaper, but better. Manufacturing in America has fallen badly. Which is a sad state of affairs. I think its primarily because of the economy. People, especially younger couples, go shopping. They need this and that. But due to monetary issues, they can only afford this OR that. Not both. So naturally, they're going to go for the cheapest they can find. Doesn't matter to them where its made just as long as its affordable. It won't be war or political upheaval that destroys this country. It'll be a complete collapse of our economy.

I'm a bit surprised here. CMP has mostly dealt in genuine U.S. military surplus arms. I've never heard of them offering any commercial firearms except maybe a few .22 Target Rifles. I've always heard good things about Tisas. But then again, they just issued a massive recall on many of their 1911 pistols for a safety issue. The jury is still out for me. Gotta admit its a good price. But I wonder what kind of hoops you'll need to jump through to get one? They caught my attention, but I'll wait and see.
