They had some at Academy today for $15/box 50, but it didn't last long. 3 box limit. I missed out by about 2 minutes.

I worked for a wholesaler back in the 80s and we were Detonics distributors. I remember admiring them at the time. They were always on the pricey side. The last batch I recall us having included some that did not have sights. They were meant to be that way.

They will bring it back up and roll it into Bidens assault rifles being included in the NFA. And most will shake their heads and jump on the "free" tax stamp and go about looking at their phones, watching Ball games and Netflix.

mine is between 300-310.
Did you get yours in Gallatin? I had to reorder mine. The first one came in and a LEO needed it so the shop sold him "mine"
No. I was a member of the KTOG forum way back when the pistol was introduced and they offered members a special pre-sale deal. I paid Keltec direct and they shipped it to my ffl. It's been a great gun. I liked it so much I later bought another one for my wife. Her's has a grey grip and hard chromed slide. They used to make several colors of grips.

Ran across this and had to add my two cents. I agree with the sentiment of buying American. In practice, however, I disagree. I buy quality firearms that work and fit my hand. The SCCY sounds great but I have yet to hold one. Kel Tec is great. I have one of the first P32s that came into TN. bought it new and will never sell it. Just a bit heavier unloaded is my baby Browning, NOT US made. I think no one would turn down a good HiPower. Also at one time owned a Taurus 85, Taurus 669, EAA Witness in .45 ACP. My favorite pistol, the overweight darling, is Brazilian made. Bought one new when they first cae to the states because it fits my hand perfectly. Also in it's favor was every review I read on it with one writer stating it outperformed his Colt Officers Model he had nicknamed "money pit" due to the amount spent tuning it.
By the way, the SCCY and Kel Tec are out as my primary until they build a good .45.
Curious @papa61, my P32 is a pretty early one serial <200 where does yours fall? I love mine and have shot it a ton. I hardly ever go anywhere without it!

We should do away with the bill of rights and craft a "bill of needs".
That sounds kinda like Directive 10-289

What is wrong with people? And there are 9 bids!

We'll run a 12 shooter round. You can shoot in one slot, or you can buy multiple tickets and shoot multiple slots in each round. Winner is determined by who gets a pellet closest to the center. If there is a tie there is a shootoff between them. Each round is judged individually so you can come and shoot in one round or multiple rounds as prizes are awarded per round.
Makes it easy. You can come and shoot all day. We have some shooters that do that, then we'll have others that come and only shoot one or two rounds.

Our annual Gen. Robert H. Hatton, Sons of Confederate Veterans Turkey Shoots are planned and everyone is invited to attend for some fun and good eatin' prizes. We'll be at the usual place-- Wilson County Fairgrounds. Use the Peyton Rd. entrance, you cant' miss us.
This is a great event with lots of families showing up along with young shooters. One of my fondest memories of childhood is attending turkey shoots with my dad. Come out and make some memories with your son or daughter or grand kids.
We'll have turkeys, country hams, and packs of thick sliced bacon as prizes. $5 per shot, ammo provided. All proceeds go toward upkeep of monuments and memorials.
We begin around 8am on Saturdays and run until we're out of shooters, probably around noon. On Sunday we'll start at 1pm and go until about 3:30.
Any ga. shotgun is allowed. 36" max barrel.
Dates: Nov. 14 & 15, Dec. 5

Supposedly rifle primers are thicker or in some way designed to withstand higher pressures than pistol primers. I've never tried switching them around so I have no personal experience.

If they will fit in a Post office flat rate box I'll pay the shipping and your time!

Dang, wish you were closer to Nashville or Knoxville!

I agree on the vitamin D and I added a 5000 to my multi vitamin back in April. With the hot weather during the summer many of us just don't get outside all that much. I plan to keep on taking mainly for the Covid issue.

Any time I get a bit overwhelmed over the news, antifa, rioting etc. I just mosey down to the basement and crank out another 100 M80 .308 and the world is at peace once again.

Just got an email from Classic Arms says they have popular ammo in stock, 223, 308, 9mm, 45acp and both AK ammos. YIKES $$$$. But, if ya ain't got none....
-
In standard loadings it's really a great cartridge. Accurate, flat shooting and packs a good punch. I use reformed 223 brass so it's about as cheap to load as anything.
-
Thanks, I used to shoot 120gr and 145gr. I'll see if I can look up the twist and how heavy 7mm bullets come these days.

Anybody ever try and run 7mm subsonic? Was thinking about a 300 Blackout but I'm not stocked on any ammo or components and after seeing 20 rnds for $30 at the LGS I think that boat has sailed for now.
I've got an old Contender in 7mm TCU that I haven't shot in eons. Wondered if anyone had tried running something like that suppressed? I do have some makins' to get that going.

I've been told that some folks have taken oxygen/acetylene mixtures and filled balloons with it. Then they tie a long fuse to it, light the fuse, and release the balloon into the air. I hear it makes a really big BOOM!
It does! But you need to be extremely careful as there is a huge chance of static electricity causing premature ignition.

Did anyone ever have a carbide can? We made more noise cheaply with one of those. Use an old quart paint can that the lid would fit on. Punch a small hole in the bottom with a nail then add about a dozen or two carbide rocks. The procedure was to spit on the carbide, slap the lid on quickly and hold your finger over the hole, sit the can on it's side on the ground and hold it there with your foot then put a lit match to the hole. The acetylene created mixed with air made a right good explosion shooting the lid 20 or 30 ft. The best thing was you could do it all over again with the only cost being a new match! Pretty soon you're mouth was so dry you had to swap gunners. Strike anywhere matches were preferred. Probably why I don't hear well today.

Guess it just shows how destructive my mind was/is. I thought that would make a great hand cannon with the pvc and maybe a ping pong ball as the projectile. Does this make you want to try it now? lol
It kinda does. I did make some really nice potato guns later in life!
Way back I bought a brass cannon from Dixie Gunworks. It's about 9 inches long with a .65 bore or there a bouts. I drilled it to take a fuse and have had it for years, decades of fun with it. Makes a huge noise. Actually fired some projectiles out of it a few times.
They used to sell bird bombs and a little hand held pistol for shooting them. They were cardboard and you would put a. 22 blank in the gun to launch it. They would travel about 50 ft up and explode with about the same report as an M-80. I figured out I could take masking tape, wrap it around the bird bombs so they fit snugly in the cannon bore. It would launch one about 200 yards before exploding. First time I tried this I had it generally pointed in the direction of my neighbors house on the hill. Damn near hit the house before it exploded.
Thinking back on all the stuff we got into back then, done today kids would be put under the jail house.

80% 10/22s anybody built one?
in Long Guns
Posted
I know there are 80% 10/22 blanks out there, has anyone done a build on one of those? I realize most builds like this end up costing more than you can buy a new one for, but just thought it might be an interesting project.
