[A lot of "scalping" going on with pistols]

Capitalism. You really wouldn't want it any other way. Anyone not prepared at this point in time is either impoverished, ignorant, or lazy.

We may have seen the end of an era of low gun prices and availability. I’m not optimistic about ever seeing it come back. Same for ammo.

If you’re a poor man like me you just look for deals. But, right now you may have a hard time just finding stuff. Prices are up, too.

Boy I haven’t seen them lately, that cheap! “Commie” guns used to be cheaper than the AR, but that’s not so anymore.
 

I believe the 7.62x39 is more on par with the 30/30 though.

I haven’t kept up on prices lately but for a long time 4 bills was common. And I meant the SKS was an equivalent type carbine. Arguably even better (sound of can of worms opening). The question was about a ranch gun. I couldn’t bring myself to carry a $1000 gun around in a 4 wheeler. Certainly not an original M1 carbine. An SKS or an old  30-30? No problem.

[Recommendations on M1 Carbine Repros]

An SKS can be found for $400. Actually very equivalent to a Carbine.

Sell scope and rifle separately. ETA: even if the scope is discontinued it’s still a Leupold.

[Lol that was a fun screw up to do with my AR accidently.]

You’re just getting started. There’s lots more to do wrong when you fool with ARs.

[Any news on the Nashville Glockstore.........]

WooHoo !

[Glockstore coming to Nashville?]

Just saw Lenny Magill is building a big store. Anybody know where? This is great news.

[Recommend a gunsmith to....]

I don’t know as Friday was the first time I’ve been there. I just want the work to look good and not have any suppressor shift.

Golf?  Sorry, never heard it.

Dropped off my Ruger MK IV this AM with Sam Hoster to get chopped, threaded and the front sight reinstalled. Supposed to pick it up next week.

[Recommend a gunsmith to....]

I think I tried to contact him but couldn’t get ahold of him. Do you have a number? This was awhile back.

.....thread a Ruger MK IV Target  barrel for a suppressor and set the front sight back. Nashville area . Anybody had this done? Cost?

So where did you get that name, I have a pickaroon at home.

I use a pickaroon all the time. They’re one of the greatest things ever invented. Most people have no idea what they are.

[Cost to install a bead on a shotgun?]

Thanks. I had just searched Brownells for that and couldn’t find anything!

[Cost to install a bead on a shotgun?]

Drill, tap, etc? Anybody  local to Nashville that’s good. Thanks 

[Rimfire Experts- you have $2K for a complete build...]

The Vudoo action is supposed to be the hot ticket right now. Then you need a barrel and stock . Then glass. I don’t know if 2K will do it. I’d be more inclined to buy a Kidd rifle and put $500 worth of glass on it. ETA: Champions Choice are the local source for such things. They are Anschutz  dealers I think. 

[Anybody have a Taurus TX 22?]

I’m considering one. But, they seem to be scarce in the Nashville area. Are you happy with yours?

Never been a problem for me, but then again, I tighten the barrel nut down after reassembling.

The issue is a receiver mounted optic and the barrel not consistently aligning when removed and reinstalled. I haven’t got an optic on mine so it’s not an issue as both sights are on the barrel.

No reason it shouldn’t return to zero after reassembling.

Not reliably returning to zero is a known issue.

No, No, No.....they are perfect for your tactical mandolin case.

 

I have one I keep at my cabin because it stores away in it’s case compactly. No optic on it because they don’t reliably return to zero. So for me , they have only the one advantage.
