What's your location? Meth & moonshine covers a lot of territory! Also, how ugly is too ugly? Take a gander at one I picked up 2 years ago, just before moving to Knoxville. I might be coerced into selling or trading it. Decent pics further down in the thread: https://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=613736 Jay

I was raised in Baltimore and used to fish the pylons of that bridge from Dad's boat as a child. I shed a tear or two when I first saw the footage. I just happen to be headed tomorrow to visit the parents, the last leg of the trip being on 695. Yay... Pray for me as I will be on two wheels. Jay

That's a nice looking revolver. Dammit, stop "making" me look at new stuff......

Thanks for removing this temptation from my list of possibilities!

My point was that paying the tax when you buy the gas is, in effect, mileage based and reasonable. Just slapping an extra $200 on the EV registration, as TN has done effective this year, does not accurately coincide with the vehicle's usage and, for low mileage drivers, becomes a penalty, not a fair use rate. If they want to do this, then they should cancel the gas tax and add the arbitrary additional amount to every vehicle registration. Then we can all be upset together!

If it were mileage based to be fair, it would be ok. My wife drives maybe 100 miles a week in her Leaf. She will now be paying more than her fair share of "tax" revenue.

What part of the state are you in?

I'd like to know, also. I've been in Knoxville for about 2 years and done no shooting. I need to fix that. This range is close but the hours are weird and the staff is, also.

I've been considering this rifle, but DAMN, that import mark. Thanks for the crown and bolt face pics. Could I get a close up of the ammo head stamp? Thanks. Jay

FWill do! I just scored some PPU JHP from JG Sales during their free shipping event. I can probably use some other varieties for comparison. Jay

It's probably nearing the end of its run. Act now! Jay

I celebrated by buying a Polish P64 from one of you today. May 2024 be everything you wish it to be. Jay

That stuff on stripper clips, that 50's era, isn't it? How does she shoot? Maybe a pic of the bolt face and crown, if you get bored. Thanks. Jay

I will take this if not yet claimed. Thanks. Jay

A picture of the barrel shank with the arsenal stamp would be helpful. Thanks. Jay

Just finished looking this over on craigslist and thought I'd drop by for a thread bump. What kind of "fuel economy" have you been getting from this land yacht? Jay

A few questions, please. Any idea of manufacture date? Have you shot it? if so, how does it perform? Thanks. Jay

I haven't seen these available for a while. Both J&G Sales and AIMSurplus have them posted for about $550. Jay

That one is chain drive. 79?

My car, my bike and my lawn mower are Honda. If they made a toaster, I'd buy it! Jay

In addition to the 2 Valkyries, I have a Yamaha Zuma 125. It's a lot of fun to ride. I can jump on it and go to the corner store and back before one of the Valkyries even gets fully warmed up. Saves a lot of wear on the big bikes. BTW, my hunt for an 80's UJM is over, as I sealed the deal today on this 1983 Suzuki GS 850L. It has about 16k miles on it and meets 3 of my 4 preferred criteria. (disk brakes, yes, shaft drive, yes, cast wheels, yes and water cooled, no) Water cooled would be less negotiable if this was a daily commuter or if I was still in Texas. Once I go through it, I can unload one of the Valkyries. Until then my garage space is NIL. #firstworldproblems Jay

I've not found any other 80's UJM's to consider, so Sunday I'm going to look at a BMW R1150RTP, ex CHP police bike. I don't know squat about BMW's, but have learned through watching videos for the past few days that BMW stands for Bring More Wallet! Wish me luck, haha!
