It means a point in the barrel that is wider than the rest of the bore. Usually caused by a bullet lodged in the barrel and another round fired behind it. Will

I know a mortgage person. Very trustworthy. To what part of the state are you moving? If you're interested, PM me. Will

I've only been to Coal Creek and ORSA. Coal Creek is ok if you like indoor ranges and their rules. I've had tons of fun participating in IDPA matches at ORSA. The cost isn't much more than what you would pay for range time at Coal Creek. $15 per match for non-members. For practicing on my own, my preference is always private land. I got my degree in Wildlife and Fisheries at UT as well. PM me. We can talk about where to shoot and why you should change your major.

I got mine in 2003. Aaah, those were the days. One could still get Lee-Enfields, Mausers, Mosin-Nagants, Nagant revolvers, Swiss K-31s, Finnish Mosins, Swede Mausers (yeah, I already mentioned Mausers, but these are a class by themselves). Now, the extent of mil-surp is mostly M-Ns and probably Nagant revolvers. They're still good deals, but... I let my CR-FFL expire in 2009. The Mil-surp deals were starting to dry up and I had recently lost my job. I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade. The Midway and Brownell's discount is still worth the $30 every three years. And there were even better deals and selections before I got my C&R, so I missed out on quite a bit. Who knows, I may reapply someday. Will

Those were my thoughts, though I didn't express them when I went in there. I wish I had. As far as WD on Alcoa Hwy, I wouldn't go there anyway. I went in there two or three times. Once, no one acknowledged my existence (there were no other customers in the store at the time), so I left. When I did browse, the prices seemed to be marked up by at least 100%. Ok, not everything, but some ammo like the brass cased 7.62x39 was priced at $500/thousand. This was when I could get it online for $250. I haven't been back there in a while. Likewise, I doubt I'll stop at Stars and Stripes again unless I hear they've changed their policy. Will

I'm not sure, but I believe that Lumber_Jack was referring to the National Firearms Act of 1934. The Firearm Owners Protection Act (yeah right) was the one passed in 1986. I believe that they're both equally unconstitutional and should be struck down. Will

Not the one in Chattanooga, either. At least when I was down there last fall.

Hello all, I've actually been a member of the forum for most of two years, but have never posted. I currently live in Knoxville, but I grew up in Tellico Plains. I go home every chance I get. It's harder to shoot in my backyard up here. Disturbs the neighbors. I recently came back to the forum to check on carry reciprocity with other states and contribute to the list of posted businesses. However, I think I'll start hanging out here more. Will
