[Happy Birthday To Me]

Got the guns, got the camera, don't have batteries charged. Stay tuned.

[XD mag kits]

Mine came from H&H Firearms Jeff City 865-475-2049. I don't know if he has them for 9mm. If he does I drive to Knox for work daily and could meet you. Good Luck

[Happy Birthday To Me]

I love buying my own presents. Saturday while retaking my CCW (another thread) I ended up coming home with a really nice blue 3" model 36 to go with my model 60. Paid what it was marked, no real great deal but is in excellent condition.

[Retaking CCW Class]

After a few months trying to figure out how to convert my Fl permit to Tn permit, it was concluded that I had to retake the class. Tn doesnot recognize Fl because of a lack of safety portion in the Fl class. I retook the class Saturday at Sevierville Indoor Range. Very well done, but really hard metal chairs and one stupid required movie. Cost was $65 but, that inlcudes 30 days unlimited indoor range time. They hold classes monthly if anyone in the area is interested.

Very clean facility and real nice people to do business with.

[XD mag kits]

Bought a kit for 45 cal (full size) yesterday for $41.95 in Jeff City. Had to pay tax' but no shipping' so probably about the same price as cheaper mailorders. Shop has more if anybody is interested.

[Any 6mm shooters?]

I am cleaning out the garage and have come across a few hundred 6mm/244 cartridges and cases. Some cases only, some reloads, I would pull the bullets on the reloads as they have been stored for ten years or so. Some brass is decent some corroded so will defintely need tumbling. I sold all my loading equip before we moved and don't have time to mess with them for a while.

First I'll take them can have them. I can meet you in Knoxville area or shipped on your dime.

[IAI 380]

I had two AMT Backups in 380 when they first came out. Late 70's early 80's if I remember correctly. I had very poor luck with both of them. Neat idea and size, but both were to unreliable to keep. I even sent them back to AMT for sevice, but they came back just as bad. Sounds like you got a good price and hopefully my experience was isolated and not the norm.

[TGO USPSA / IDPA Squads?]

Never shot competition before, but I am up for the east side. Especially if I can justify buying a new gun for it!

[Hello from Jefferson City]

Welcome from another Jeff City member.

[Mueller Scopes ???]

Does anyone handle them locally, or are they mail order? I have read about them but haven,t played with any yet. This is also fpr my 10/22 build.

[10/22 parts]

Thanks for the info guys. I have been lirking on Rimfire Central. I have picked up some useful info. Unfortunately a lot of it is still over my head. I need to pick up a book or two on DIY mods for the 10/22 befor I start tearing stuff apart.

[10/22 parts]

Does anyone know of a shop in the Knox area that carries 10/22 parts? I have one and want to build it up, heavy barrel, new stock,etc. Most places tell me they can order for me, but I like to touch stuff before I order. (This has gotten me slapped more than once!). Heck I bet I could even order by myself if I try real hard.

[Logging your shoots]

Not me. I just shoot until I get tired or run out of ammo. I have started taking fewer guns to the range in order to reduce cleaning chores. Got to stay after the lazy factor, you know.

[Permit info needed.]

I need some info on obtaining a TN carry permit. So far I have gotten several different responses to my question.

I recently relocated to Knox area from Fl. I have a current Florida CCW permit. Now that I am a Tn resident I want to get a Tn permit. So far I have been told everything from, "You don't need a Tn permit just keep using your Fl permit until it expires" to " You have to take the entire class over and submit everything" to "I don't think you need to take the class and fingerprints just pay the fees and submit paperwork."

I am starting to get tired of running from Motor vehicle people, to courthouse, to sheriff dept., to gunshop trying to find the real answer.

Anybody having experience trying to convert a license from another state with info is welcome to chime in.

As near as I can tell, all that I need is to do the safety portion and pay the $50 renewal fee. I think?

[12 gauge pistol]

I doubt your going to find a legal one. Maybe from a class three dealer?

If you do BATF is probably really going to be interested.

[Just Checking In]

Recently moved into state from Florida. What a nice change to be around normal folks again.

Glad I finally stumbled on this forum, I need lots of info on shops and ranges near the Knoxville/Jeff City area.
