I went to the Jackson,TN show (there are shows in nashville, knoxville, and jackson this weekend right?) Huge line to get in. Packed full of people but the tables were full of the same old stuff. Ammo prices and mag prices were about the same. The reloading table seemed to be very busy. ATF had a booth set up there too.

I might go back but I am torn ... watch the titans game live or hope no one talks about the result and watch it on the tivo tonight ... tough call. Although there is a dealer with a PS90 that I would like to have ...

Pretty much the same show as the time before. Had some decent buys on .223 ammo (500 for 190 out the door) but otherwise a pretty small show with the normal vendors and locals. The last Smyrna show was a lot better (except for the $105 ticket ). One of the vendors at the Smyrna show who is based out of Cape Girardeau MO told me that they no longer participate in the Memphis show due to the amount of shoplifting. Hated to hear that.

It is blue or stainless? The mods he made to it will hurt the collectiblity but if he has the original parts and/or box that will be a plus. I would say $450-$650.

Claptons gun room ... (not really)

Skyy and if I find money on the ground ... belvedere

I think the political climate is going to make powder and primers go through the roof. My only reloading experience is watching youtube videos of the hornady and dillon loaders. The auto indexing of the hornady is nice plus the LNL seems closer to the dillion 650 than the 550 for a few bucks less. Not trying to start a war ... just my observation. So what kind of federal primers do I need for 9mm, .45acp, .223, and .308?

I appreciate the advice. I am just concerned that the days of relatively cheap powder and primers are coming to a close and I wanted to stock up before 2009. I can get 1000 free bullets with the hornady (one caliber though) so thats why I am leaning towards the hornady. I have spoken with a few people at the local club and opinions about reloaders, powder and primers vary to a great degree

I dont reload yet but I am thinking that I should stock up while I can. I am looking at buying the Dillon 550b or the Hornady LNL. I will reload .45, .223, .308, and 9mm. What kind of powder and primers do I need to buy? How long can powder and primers be stored?

They are not showing up for me.

thanks

I posted 3 items this morning but they dont show up now? I thought that signing up for the benefactor plan would bypass the 50 post requirement?

I think this explains the issue http://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2008/09/controversy-at-high-road.html

I am not a member over there and don't want to open a can of worms but what does "the incident" mean?

Range usa is who I normally use. A $50 fee is not bad on a $1000 rifle but tough for a $300 handgun.

I have several firearms that I want to sell (to pay for another one). The shop that I have used in the past has gone up on their rates. They charge $50 even if the item does not sell. Anyone here have any recommendations?

This is a scary scenario for those of us with a good deal of money tied up in firearms but I can see where it might happen.

If the new AW ban works like the old ban then "pre-ban" receivers will be able to have the "evil" features like pistol gips, flash hiders, etc. AR15 receivers are a bargain right now. You can pick up a quality receiver for almost $100 including tax & background check. Plus the AR15 is a very verstatile machine. You can get .223 in many configurations and you can add 9mm, 22lr, etc uppers as needed.

$1000 is not enough to really do much ... maybe buy $500 worth of ammo, a couple of AR lowers, and some AR mags. I think that ammo will be taxed so high that it will no longer be affordable. The NRA is pushing this site http://gunbanobama.com/ and the word from the Obama's own website http://origin.barackobama.com/issues/urban_policy/#crime-and-law-enforcement Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama also favors commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. He supports closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. He also supports making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.
