Smga.com still has them in silver for $179.

Smga.com got 200 of these last week. I got one silver and one bronze. $179!

Here it is: As introduced, creates an exception to the offense of possession of a machine gun, short-barreled rifle or shotgun, or a firearm silencer that the person was in compliance with the National Firearms Act when possessing. - Amends TCA Section 39-17-1302   So in other words if I had an SBS and was in compliance with NFA [paid the tax, did the paperwork] then I am still in compliance?? Seems to contradict itself.   I was already in compliance with NFA and with this law, I am still in compliance with NFA?   Weird

My total reaction to reading FrankenFienstiens letter was, to go buy an M92 AK pistol.....in pure spite!

Got a Shield 40 recently and got to admit, it has turned me around with respect to plastic guns. It grips, points well and the trigger is good. It may be my favorite carry gun currently.

Just gotta chime in.... On motorcycle, day trip, way, way out of my way to get there and twice, I saw what has to be the smallest selection of handguns in East Tennessee. OK place to shoot I suppose but as a gun store? You must get to Bill's Outpost just a few miles away. It blows these guys away by a factor of 50 at least! Also, Stars and Stripes...you better crank up the printing press or take out a loan. Their prices are beyond Gander Mountain.   What you are seeing is a result of this booming economy. They are scaling back and soon, will not be there.

Next Knoxville show includes a Friday. Are all vendors there typically or just some?

Started to not go since I really don't care for the cramped aisles of Jacobs. Glad I did go. Got to pick from a crop of Chinese Type 53 Mosin Nagant carbines at $139. This was a no-brainer to me. Good bluing but rough stock that I will take care of. This will make a nice truck gun.....seeing as how I can carry a long gun legally now with permit.   Sometimes, the thrill of the hunt exceeds going with a shopping list!

By type 53 you mean the Chinese? All I have read about them is that they are as rough as a cob. Did you pick up some nice ones? I would surely be interested in one.   Four Mosins here. First was all matching great condition 1945 Russian M44 for.....$25. Believe it or not. Next was a 1916 Hex. Czar of Russia still in power. A great shooter for $50 Then $50 for a nice 91/30 Finally, $100 for a minty like never shot, Polish M44 that I made into a scout rifle and boy is it ever a good shooter!   Folks, don't mess around and watch these things vanish. Buy one or two while you still can.

Tell you what, you did good! Revolver is my first love of a gun for self defense. Plain and simple. GP100 is my staple revolver with good loads. The sights are great and so is the trigger.

Yup same here. I actually watched a GunBroker auction for 1,000 rounds of Remmington Golden Bullet 22 bulk go for.....get ready......$130 ! If Im lying, Im dying.   There is not a shortage for those who were prepared.   I am down to 10,000 rounds of 22 and, am getting a little nervous! Down to 5,000 rounds of 7.62 feel good with that

OK, I am on-board with you guys now. Yes, Nicely did say some strange things. I can not speak to the Maggart deal.....don't know anything about that one. Yes, Frank was off the deep end for sure with the NRA/Democrat stuff.   I really do hope we have some more of these rallys. It was well worth the time and drive, in my opinion.

Yes, wife and I were there. The TFA guy was knowledgable but wore us out.....he rambled for it seemed 30 minutes telling us minute details about some piece of legislation that never reached a vote. Seemed sort of pointless. Nicely did a good job and was brief. I do not understand your question about Nicely. He told us that the Republicans have passed 21 good gun bills in the last several years and reminded us how bad things were with Naifey [sic]. A good rally and, they are going to have more of them. The TFA guy told us that our problems are in Nashville and Nicely told us that our problems are in D.C. which I am more inclined to believe.

I would like to be included also. Thanks!
