DO-TN

Much in the same way banning meth and pot stops meth and pot usage

All this will do is cause people that could benefit from said meds to not get them.

PM sent on the PSL

We have had a few early hummers for about a week now. We live near LBL. 4 distinctly different ones. Wife put up 2 of her feeders. She will have 8 up real soon though.

So MDA (Moms Demand Action) fund and organize several large protests and of course the "news" finds "concerned moms" to spread lies on the TV footage but why no counter protests? Watched Channel 5 put some gal on last night that said "I have to register my car every year but you can go buy guns any time you want with no back ground checks of fees" Um, last time I bought one it sure needed a back ground check and $10 fee to the state so that was a bold face lie. Besdies the fact that her car is a priviliege and guns are a right. Sadly, many will believe her. If I lived closer to Nashville I would have been there. We so need a well spoken, well presented group to counter this BS less Tenessee will fall to an anti-gun state.

Stopped by yesterday afternoon. $8 to get in. It would be worth going of you want to buy $1000 mosin 91/30's (ya, you read that right), $125 bricks of primers, $700 700 rd spam cans of Romanian X39 ammo, $1500 home build AR's, knives, jerky, and some odd ball lorcin/raven .25 ACP mags. Only thing I walked out with was a $25 repro Garand sling.

Wow, Gov. Lee must have fallen off his rocker on this one. Here is a link to the EO he signed yesterday: https://publications.tnsosfiles.com/pub/execorders/exec-orders-lee100.pdf All it did was tell entities with information that they need to ensure such information is made available to TBI for running background checks. Next up is his call for Red Flag Laws. No good can come from these. No matter how they are broken down, there is just too much chance for abuse, not to mention "face your accuser" "innocent until PROVEN guilty" "Secure in your persons" "right to keep" and countless other Constitutional violations these kinds of laws would bring about.

I am going with the pick up a correct spring/buffer combo and trial that others have mentioned. Not sure about your area, but I know at least 3 shops here in the middle/north part of the state that has them in stock.

Looking for a 20 inch AR in A2 form. Wife wants to dabble in iron sight service rifle so looking for one for her to give it go. Don't want to spend too much on one incase she doesn't like it but maybe one to build up into a DCM rifle over time. Please let me know if you have an older AR you might want to let go. Not picky on brand or if a during the ban or not.

Wife thinks she wants to join in on iron sight service rifle. Looking for an A2 upper, A2 upper with barrel, 20 inch. Obviously do not want to spend a ton for something she may not like after trying but gotta start somewhere.

What does it look like down the barrel?

Maybe convince the mods to create a specific milsurp guns and gear FS/FT sub forum?

Not too worried about 922r, at least not with an AK. by the time you add a US FCG, flash hider, all furniture, and a US magazine, you are 922r compliant. Too easy. I can't speak to other type of imported pistols As I count, the Draco I am currently working the form 1 for only has 6 imported parts in it per the lists. https://gunwiki.net/Gunwiki/BuildAkVerifyCompliance https://gununiversity.com/922r-compliance/

I know a guy up here in Dover. But I have to ask, what are you using for ammo and what do you mean by accuracy issues? Running a PSL myself, most all 54r factory ammo leave a lot to be desired as far as accuracy goes.

Legally, its when you aquire the FFL and file your business with the state. Much more to gunsmithing than what you have touched on. Rebluing will be a big request, fitting stocks, manufacturing un-obtainalbe parts on 100 year old revolvers. Milling slides, mill and drill holes, threading barrels concentric for CANs. In top of that, welding/soldering. Taking apart, sourcing, replacing with hand fitting small parts of out-of production guns. That is what my legit neighbor does in his gunsmith shop does all day. He spent years getting formal education though.

2 actually: 1, way back in 87 as a senior in high school, I bought used 76 Merc Capri II with the v6. That car would go and handled like a dream. Embarrased a lot of mustangs and cameros on the local 1/4 mile strip. Sold it while away in the Army. no idea where it is today. 2, And mostly, 67 F100 Ranger, Camper Special. Bought it rust and dent free off a farm Kansas while stationed in Ft. Riley in the mid 90's for a whole $100 smackers, non running and dry-flat tires. trailered it on base to the dismay of my 1SG. Total fluid change, battery, plugs, wires, dist cap/rotor, filters, belts, hoses, deep cleaning , case of carb cleaner and engine degreaser at the on-post self mechanic shop and it fired right up. Put some new tires, brakes and a buff job and drove the crap out of that truck a few years while I was there. Got orders for Ft. Bliss, Tx and my mother gifted me her Dodge Shadow for the miliage on long drives so I sold it to a young PFC who needed transportation. The Dodge crapped out on me a year later and found out that PFC totaled the truck driving like an azz hat. Should have given him the Dodge and kept the Ford. I can only imagine how much that truck would be worth now.

We have to go to Hendersonville mid week for an afternoon doc appt. We plan to leave early AM and spend the day poking around. Any recommendations for must stop at gun-related places? I am way into AK's and surplus arms so the old shops with dusty invetentory and things piled in the corners are my favorite.

Since you asked, not that I don't "need" it, my PSL would make good use of it. Just that it's corrosive and not to offend you, current prices of ammo keeps me reloading instead of buying surplus. Not that you aren't fair, you are for the current market, I just think the current market is way too high. I can reload cheaper than .50 cents each and get petter performance and not have to worry about corrosion.

Can't remember the name off the top off my head, but there is a large gun shop by the freeway in Murfreesboro that had an indoor range and plenty of NFA items. They even had some belt-feds if your pockets were deep enough. I avoid the place to keep me out of bankruptcy.

Man that sucks! One more point for my "cash and carry" beliefs.

This is why I am very clear. I am an armorer (US Army armorer's school graduate) and NOT a gunsmith. I can replace drop in parts (mostly but know my limits), install most accesories, and troubleshoot/diagnose failures. I can assemble an AR from a pile of parts pretty dam quick and into spec and make it run realy well. But, I cannot machine things, hand fit, manufacture parts, engrave, ect. I agree most shops that state they have a gunsmith really have an armorer or many times less.

AK sights are very easy. There are plenty of you tube vids that take you step by step. I was looking at a KNS rear for mine. Has windage and elevation much like an AR does then a tritium front since that is all you would really use in the dark anyway. As for scopes, the side rail is really the only real option. Scout scope on a gas tube-front hand guard combo being a far second best choice.

Hopfully the PM worked, but just in case, I sent a reply back.

Since PM didn't work out, here is what I sent; Do you do any kind of e-payment? Pay pall, Zelle? I do need the 20 MOA SA Rem base and maybe the rings if they aren't too low. I am willing to pay the $30 you have them up for plus the $11 for the small flat rate box at USPS to get them here. (would cost me more than $11 in gas to drive into Nash). PM me your text number please and we can go form there.

PM sent with offer to pay for shipping
