Hey guys and gals! I purchased 150 acres in Fentress County in January, and construction has begun on the house. So we hope to be moved by August. I am coming from northern Indiana. I don't list my guns or share pictures on the internet, but I had enough that caused that unfortunate boating accident. I'm getting up to speed on the conceal carry law differences. I'm not a fan of TN allowing signage to hold the law (in IN we can ignore no gun signs), but I will survive as I'm sure those signs are less prevalent in TN. I know I have to get my TN permit (what do you call it in TN, CCW?) within 6 months of moving, but I don't know if I have to take a class since I have both my IN and out-of-state UT permit (UT required a 4-hour course, IN didn't require any course). Perhaps that will be a new thread I start unless anyone has an idea in this thread.
Thanks for reading!

Hi gang. Stumbled onto this forum while looking for Tenn gun resources..
Moved here from New Jersey last November. Been coming to Tenn to visit family for over 2 decades so familiar with good amount of the areas.
Been a gun owner/shooter since the late 70's... Owned many different types. Been slowly thinning the herd to introduce new to the safe....
Always willing to help when I can. Own various handguns and long guns. Last year started to consolidate calibers to just 7.62, 5.56 and 6.5cm in rifle. (Oh and a 22 plinker)... and handgun to 45acp, 45LC and 9mm....
Do a lot of my own work where I can. I have no prob ripping a gun apart and making it my way. Although, getting harder because eyes are getting old.
We are preparing for retirement. My wife has a few more years to go even though she says she will never retire.... lol.
My various collections consist of Colt, HK, Kimber, Nighthawk, LWRC, Ruger, Uberti, IWI, Springfield, Benelli, CA, etc....
Have any questions, please feel free to ask....
Thanks for having me...
Regards,
John, aka BHunted- 1
Cowboy guns...
in Show and Tell
Posted
I always wanted a cowboy gun for my collection. A buddy of mine, retired marine, said his eye sight wouldn't allow him to see the sights good any more. He had a Uberti Cattleman 45LC in stainless., What a nice gun. When you cannot afford or find a Colt Peacemaker, Uberti makes fantastic arms. In any event, I bought it from him. I already had a Uberti Yellow Boy Lever action, also in 45LC... The rifle is beautiful. Wood is excellent and brass is like gold. Which brings me to the point of this post.
Uberti does not sell any pistol in stainless with brass features. But I wanted a lil brother for the rifle. So I started a project. Brass is beautiful but also a pain in the arse to keep from tarnishing and finger prints. I have a solution for that later.
I decided to electroplate certain parts in Gold. Gold will not tarnish like brass. But all the look. Here are some of the steps... hope the pictures come out in logical order... (Did a few bullets too)...
Broke down entire gun.
Electroplating is fun. You can do it at home. This is not your KMart gold dip. You are actually electroplating via electric. Table top kits are avail for different finishes....Only caveat is certain metals will only stick to certain surfaces. Gold happens to stick onto stainless steel and a couple others. If you wanted to do copper, you'd have to plate another metal onto the gun that copper will stick too. If any of you are curious in taking on a project, check out Caswell Plating. They are NY State.... great people to deal with. https://www.caswellplating.com/
Oh, yea! If you never heard of it, Renaissance Wax or Ren Wax for short, stifles all tarnishing and makes wood look like a million bux. I believe it was created originally for museum pieces. A lil can goes a long way. It will reduce finger prints on brass and such and make grips and stocks luster. I did an experiment. I polished all my brass weapons. Knives, etc. They would tarnish quite rapidly if left unattended. After several months, went back to check and viola, no tarnish. Great stuff....
