A big win for Defense Distributed!
Ronald_55 replied to gregintenn's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Just Google poacher weapons. There is already a booming production of untraceable homemade weapons around the world. They are made out of pipe, car parts, staplers, and pretty much amything else. 3D printing is not going to flood the world with ghost guns. It might allow for printing of accessories like custom rails, stocks, handguards and such. That would be a big plus in my eyes. Also at this point a lot of the printed items lack the strength to withstand the pressures. So no one is making a 100% plastic gun any time soon. -
I find that too. Bought a few magazines tht took 5 minutes to read it all. Sadly it seems to be akl magazines, not just ourdoor. I do subscribe to The Backwoodsman Magazine. It has good reader letters and lots of articles.

cap and ball revolver- no lead ring?
Ronald_55 replied to drewski's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
I am in NE TN, but I had issues finding anyone stocking actual black powder in store. Shipping is crazy after the hazmat upcharge. -
Ok, so what gun is that?

We eat a bunch of cheesy cauliflower mash due to my wife's diabetes. Potatoes are no bueno except in small quantities. It is not potatoes, but is a good stand in.

So have you looked at replacement barrels? Not sure on price, but might save a bunch of trouble -
Source for blade steel in Knoxville/east TN?
Ronald_55 replied to Under-No-Pretext's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
What steel are you specifically looking for? I know a guy at a metal fab shop up here in the Tricities. I asked him about stuff once when I was doing some smithing. Seemed like they had or could get most anything. They do A LOT of work. -
I think it might be a veiled attempt to save some of our members from themselves. You know so that said leader does not ban them. Lol

Look out! A sleeper agent!

I pushed back to hunting partially as an excuse to have my guns. That was her reasoning, so she could not argue. I really don't have time, but I did hit end of season sales that year to replace gear I had long ago discarded (or outgrown ). She has no interest in shooting at all. I never did much good deer hunting growing up due to low population density of deer. I hope to do better this year. My son is mildly interested but not enough to want to go to the range. He shots with my father in law, which my wife oddly promotes???

My wife is also not very supportive. To her, who grew up in a house full of guns, guns are only for hunting. Since I did not hunt during the first decade of our marriage, I am not a hunter in her eyes. The fact that I traveled 3.5 weeks a month, was helping raise our 2 little kids, was maintaining/upgrading our house, and had no where TO hunt had nothing to do with it. Lol Also having a HCP is beyond her comprehension just like keeping some supplies on hand in case times get bad. I plan on taking the HCP course when I can get a free day though. I can just go ahead and get a lifetime and not worry about it again.

Walther Kriegsmarine SL single barrel flare pistol
Ronald_55 replied to Ronald_55's topic in Curio, Relics and Black Powder
It would be fun to have, but a lot of them have odd calibers from what I read. I need a real modern one at some point though. -
I do not edc or have a hcp. Where I am at 75% of the time and family matters both play into that. I have some I could edc but I prefer larger pistols. I do have my share of revolvers though. A .357 snubby is a good option in my mind. I consider them a tool, but the lady of the house prefers me to say it is a hobby.

I had a great "Denver" steak last night. Never heard of that cut before

Walther Kriegsmarine SL single barrel flare pistol 1940 I saw this for sale on a local classifides. Cool looking gun. Anyone know anything first hand? In case you are interested. I have nothing to do with the sale or seller. https://theeclassifieds.com/Home/ViewListing/5e0b71d0-73ea-4e84-b7c1-a92500fe1498

So what would you guys say about him if he got it butterflied and extra well? I shoot for medium at resturaunts. I don't trust others cooking it less.

The range I go to now does not allow that. Used to be me, my Marlin 60, and some pie plates out on the back lot at work.

Since I started re-shooting a few years ago, I went on a bing picking up some things. I feel the same way some days. Mine is lack of a partner too I think. All the guys I used to shoot with changed jobs and now at my new job, no one shoots. Also where I used to shoot for free right out of the back of the car is gone. So lugging everything into a range is a pain. And I can't shoot my shotguns there. I mean 16ga buckshot or slugs is not that common. Tgey dont allow birdshot. I keep saying I am gonna join a club, but at a few times a year, I feel like it is a waste.

Well if they don't have sensitive information on them I can clear them out for you. Other than that I know some of the recyclers buy E-waste. Or Ebay.

Do all the 9mm revolvers use moon clips? I know my Dad's .45 APC Model 1917 did. I figured all auto style cartridges needed them in a revolver.
