I’m not much help and I won’t pretend to know what you’re dealing with, but anytime you need to vent, we’re here for you and willing to listen. May God bless you and your family.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!

With the exception of one member who I haven't seen post in years, I consider TGO members to be miles ahead of the general public, and welcome at my home anytime.

I’d like to hear about the 1911s and 1911A1s. I’m not in Knoxville, but coupd arrange transportation if required.

I’d look again at the second one.

A little pricey, but nice.

Mosins were oddly interesting at $100 a pop, but at $400-500, they just aren't that great a rifle. I'd suggest waiting until the insanity subsides or buying something much nicer for the same money. A rifle built on a magnum Mauser 98 action just sold in the classifieds here. It was listed at $450, and would be a far superior rifle in every aspect to the best Mosin ever produced.

I was finding them on ebay and occasionally on gun forums for spot price or below. That’s dried up for now. About a month ago, I bought a roll of 2020 Silver Eagles for $500 shipped off another gun forum. Sometimes I’ll run a bunch of junk silver dollars up to 18-20 apiece. Many times I’ll get outbid, but sometimes I get the coins. I’ve found you get a better deal buying a roll at a time than buying individual coins. We have a local thrift store that is for all intents and purposes a pawn shop. Sometimes I can buy gold and silver from him at spot. He buys below spot and just wants to turn a quick buck. You just have to watch.

I’ve been buying silver coins for a while now. May be time to liquidate them before long.

If you've never went to see his homeplace up in Pall Mall, it is worth the ride in my opinion.

We were informed in n uncertain terms that CBD use did not guarantee a failed random drug test, but could do so, and f t did, we have no recurse. That’ll keep me away from it.

6” if I am not mistaken.

I have not. I’ve never had one lettered. If it hasn’t been refinished, it is in really good shape. If it has been refinished, it was done by someone who knows how to do it correctly.

I have not fired it, but probably will at some point. They aren’t made for high velocity ammo, so standard velocity target loads it is.

What are you looking for? I have a 91/30, an M44, and a bunch of ammo I was thinking about getting rid of as a package deal.

These are referred to as Heavy frame although they are a light and dainty revolver. At the time, Smith and Wesson also made a smaller, lighter "M" frame which was also called the Lady Smith. I would love to find one of those.

On the smith and wesson forum.

Kinda makes a fella think about liquidating.

I bought this at a gun show a few years back. It came with a set of stag grips. I finally located original style grips for it. This was no easy feat. In case anyone isn't familiar, this is a Smith and Wesson Heavy Frame Target Model, also referred to as a Bekeart Model. I'm not sure the year of manufacture, but it is roughly 100 years old, and chambered for 22 Long Rifle. I've always wanted one of these, but never thought i'd actually have one.

The only two natural enemies for a gun is rust and politicians.

You and I are boring.

Now that explains a lot. This is entertaining to watch. Not only did the hedge fund guys poo poo in their nest, so did RobinHood. I’m guessing they’d all like to tale a mulligan right about now. What makes me nervous is that we all know this sort of thing happens all the time. What is the media hiding by covering this story wall to wall?

I wouldn’t surprised if somebody doesn’t turn up missing or suicided over this escapade.

It sure makes hedge funds a lot less appealing; at least in the short term.

How do you predict it will end? Do you see any illegal activity involved? I don't know why, but I really take an interest in this sort of thing.
