Wife got back from church today and told me about these puppy's. It appears that some idjit dumped them at her church. They were freezing, very hungry, and in bad need of a bath. They probably wouldn't have made it another night. Poor little fellers are both crashed out now. My shepherd is all spun up over them and is already protective of them. And here's after milk, food and bath.

Our first grandchild was born last night. Maxxine Jo 8lbs 2 ons and 20 inches.

Guns handed down by family members are some of our most cherished. I’m sure many of you will have examples to show here. I have my Dad’s first rifle, a Stevens single shot.22 and a Remington semi auto.22 given to me by my grandfather. Yesterday my father gave me his Smith and Wesson model 19-4 Combat magnum. I have memories of seeing it safely protected in his bedside table drawer but have never shot it. He said he thinks he only fired it once or twice. Still looks like new.

Well, it's not a firearm, but I'm still pround of it. I've long wanted an automotive hoist, but really didn't have a place to put it. So I finally put up another pole-building specifically to house a lift and give me some space to paint. I got a great deal on a used 12K hoist, but I spent something over $25K on the building, so penny-wise and pound foolish. Anyway, the hoist is now fully assembled and operational. I still have some dirt work to do outside, as the approach is a muddy mess right now. The hoist came with two bridge jacks, and both of those need some work, too. I'm never without plenty of chores and projects.

Checking out his babies

I like animals way more than people.

I’ve decided to sell my Winchester Model 70 SUPER GRADE 7mm Magnum - W/Scope & Mounts, due to my inability to make myself take it to the woods. This rifle was setup with a Nikon Monarch UCC 3.5-10x50 scope, in Leupold mounts. There’s no bluing wear etc as it’s never been hunted, but having been shot to sight in it’s used.. so I’ll call it 98% condition. Absolutely a magnificent piece that I’ll never end up taking to the woods for fear of beating it up. $1500

Up for everyone’s consideration is my original Colt SP1. Produced in 1975. Rifle is in excellent condition. Comes with an original colt magazine and Vietnam era sling. Located in Knoxville. Cash price is 2000. Would trade for Colt AR15s, colt special combat government 1911, dan wesson specialist, benelli shotguns, DD AR15s, Glock 19c/20/17L/vickers glock plus cash. If you have something else feel free to offer

Today is gonna be a goooooood day!

Stand by for date, original date won't work. So I want to put together a big event where we can all show off our bbq rigs, eat some good smoked meat, and bang some steel after the meal. I'll smoke ribs, chuck roast and a pig butt on the smoker. Feel free to bring sides and non alcoholic drinks to contribute. Open carry of fancy leather and engraved pistols is encouraged. Bring out your best. After a big meal of smoked meat and sides we can retire to the back field to bang some steel with pistol and rifle. Address will be posted at a later date or sent via PM. It's in Oliver Springs. Please no alcohol or drugs, they have no place around loaded firearms.

This kind of unhinged fool gives all gun owners a bad name.

ATF doesn't need to be abolished. They actually do serve a purpose. What they need is to redefine their objectives and stop being used as a political weapon for gun control. There are real bad guys out there illegally trafficking in guns. They need to be arrested. But leave the average gun owner and the LGS alone. Most of all, enforce the laws as written. They don't need to be "interpenetrated" to mean whatever you want them to. If ATF were abolished, that would mean their duties would have to be passed to another federal agency. Most likely the FBI. Are you sure you want that?

***SOLD*** I purchased this knife from our very own TGO member and knife maker Grand Torino 5 or 6 years ago. I hate to let it go, but life happens. Here is information he provided at time of purchase: “11 1/2" OAL beauty with a false edge and hollow grind. The blade is right at 6" long. it has over 500 layers to achieve its look. It's about 3/16" thick at the spine. The handles are new product from Voodoo Resins. They have this unique look with the added aluminum mesh added into the blade. Very cool and different. It has SS pins and lanyard tube and comes with the combo kydex/leather sheath shown.” $175. No trades at the moment. Located in Nashville. Will ship for free at asking price. ***Additional photos in comments

This is Anya. I just had to have female to balance the pack.

Reading this was great entertainment. As always I don't care how you carry, it's about the person. Are you responsible, do you train, do you have proper equipment. I see concealed carriers that do it wrong, as well as open carriers. I shake my head at both. If you are aware, and you should be I'd bet you can guess who's carrying. I do both and yes I have a retention holster(level 2) for open carry, id say 85% I conceal carry. Carry how you want, don't judge those that do it differently then you. Do I recommend someone have an cheap unreliable firearm no, but if that's what they can afford I get it. I hate the way my wife shoots, but it works for her and she hits. Anyone who say their way is the only way, good luck.

This a fantastic built PPC revolver with all the bells and whistles. This gun was built by the master gunsmith Bob Jones. This gun is more than fun to shoot. The action is as good as any every made. At one point the wait for a Bob Jones guns was almost 2 years. Thanks for looking. Asking $950 Price reduction 825

There was a time when I thought he was the worst POTUS in history, but those tricky Dems kept sending bigger idiots to DC and made a liar out of me. Nonetheless, RIP 39

22 LR, 6" barrel with an excellent, bright bore. This is a 1948-made revolver that has matching numbers on the frame, barrel, cylinder, yoke, and extractor. The metal retains 97-98% of the original blue finish with some mild fading at the sides of the muzzle, along some of the high and exposed edges, and a light turn-ring at the rear of the cylinder. The hammer and trigger retain a commensurate amount of their original color case-hardening, with some very mild fading on the edges, and correct original sights are fitted. The lock-up is tight, and the action is fully functional. This is a splendid five-screw K-frame .22, and is in fine-near excellent condition overall. SOLD Thanks for looking

Not really sure, but this could be the source of our sleep deprivation. My wife has nicknamed them the terrorist twins.

This is a Remington 11-87 PREMIER 12 gauge with LT CONTOUR barrel. Really nice with nearly no signs of use. It only comes with the one choke that's in the barrel. It additional pictures are needed please let me know $925.00

I’ve got a Ruger LC Carbine in 45acp with less than 25 rounds through it. It comes with a thread adapter to go from the rifles .578x28 to 5/8x24, one 13 round magazine (it takes Glock 21 magazines) and flip up iron sights and everything in the box from factory. I’m firm at $700 and will drive within 45 minutes of my house.

Another great find this weekend. 1950 Marlin 39A, all original, mint condition.

I'll be that guy. I think Bucee's brisket is extremely overrated.

Sold Like new Glock 45 MOS with RMR Type 2 (Model RM06, 3.25 MOA). Uses the FCD mounting plate. Glock case plus 3 17-round magazines. RMR case as well. Asking $875 for the whole setup. Also have a Radian Afterburn+Ramjet barrel and comp I can throw in. Only two trades interested in would be a Century AP5 (8" barrel) or a Springfield Prodigy 5"

Bump for a beautiful rifle ... but ... Kimber, if you really like it, use it! Quick story, my dad bought a beautiful new German made .300 Weatherby Mark V in 1967 for a hunt to Alaska that never happened. It sat in his gun cabinet sighted in but unused for 24 years until he passed in '91. My older brother got the Weatherby and hunted hard with it, with great success, from Ky to Colorado for the next 33 years. There are scuffs and dings on the stock, bluing rubbed thin on the barrel and bolt, that tell stories of many great hunts and downed game. I always thought he gave justice to a rifle that was built to hunt ... no matter how pretty it was.

I just finished building a small deck on the back of my house. I had material left over so I had 2 tables that I made 20 years ago. I decided to clean them with a high-pressure washer, then apply Thompsons Water Sealer. While I was at it, I decided to replace the top on them. I had some Trek flooring left, from the deck, so it installed new tops on both tables. They looked good afterwards. The old tops were made with Yellow Wood and had become weathered and rough. Yesterday I walked to the range with he intention of practicing some. I have several spots that have very thin grass and when it is wet, I have a mud problem. I stood there for a few minutes and then remembered that my son-in-law had previously brought me a load of gravel to spread on the driveway. I had him dump a small pile, of the chip size gravel, for future use. I got my wheelbarrow and proceeded to haul loads of grave and put a thin coat of gravel all around the newly remodeled table area so we would not be forced to stand on mud while shooting in wet weather. I also installed an angled "rifle wing" on the shooting range table so we could put my Led Sled on it and scoot up without being in a strain when firing. I am a righty, so I lengthened the right side of the tabletop and proceeded to add 17" of additional angled tabletop to it. Now I just set my seat over next to the extension and am in total comfort while mounting the rifle and looking through the scope. The extension works rather well for rifle shooting and is a total compliment to the Led Sled. Now I can comfortably go out in any weather condition and not worry about cleaning mud from my shoes or messing up my wife's carpet afterwards. Improvements are always satisfying. OH, the things we do when in a state of boredom. I was home by myself, and all our holiday company has gone back to their homes. We had 24 eat at our home on New Years Day. It was an occasion in honor of my sisters-in-law 80th b-day party. My wife had taken SIL to the shoe store to purchase a b-day gift for her. I slept good last evening guys. "We Were Tired!" I am sore this morning but have a good feeling of accomplishment so I thought I would share it with you guys. What did you guys do yesterday? Edited to add content

That's at best if you find a sale and even then you're likely paying taxes and a transfer fee (chances of said sale locally at that price are slim to none). Not to mention the H2O version generally carries a $100-$200 price increase. Going rate off the shelf local is $2100. If you don't know the market and don't have the courtesy to haggle privately, kindly STFU and move on. From someone who cycles 10s of thousands of dollars through their collection each year and knows the market quite well, I can tell you I'd be jumping all over this if I didn't already have an M4 built perfectly to my needs. This is an excellent price on arguably the best SA shotgun ever made.

Lousy President. But he was a an extremely good man.

I bought this 02 here on the forum about a decade ago. It is a 4 cylinder, automatic, and has 167k on it now. I think I put an injector in it once, and squirrels have chewed the fuel lines up a couple of times. Short of that, I've changed the oil every 10k, put gas in it, and drove it. It doesn't have much power, gets only about 20mpg, and isn't overly comfortable, but it is boringly reliable, and I've yet to have it stuck. I pull a boat with it just fine. I plan to keep it til it dies, which it may well outlast me. Dad has a 98 model. The speedometer quit working, so I'm unsure of the miles, but it's over 400k. Same thing. Gas and drive. His is a v6 5 speed, and has twice the power mine does. My son had an 03 and drove it for years. Sold it to a buddy and it's still on the road. If he can't tear one up, that's saying something! I've no experience with newer models, but the older ones are amazing.

Yes they do. I'm still driving my 2002 Tundra. We drove it to Arizona in 2023. Shooting for Moab next.

I don’t think you’ll see any noticeable difference.

Bought new at Harveys pistol and pawn. This has been carried quite a bit, and has had 202 rounds fired through it. It has some honest holster wear but Zero issues and the tritium glows bright in the front sight. Fantastic little revolver, I've just decided I'd rather consolidate calibers for now. It comes in the orginal box, and includes 98 rounds of Lost River Ammo .32 HR mag full wadcutters, an American Fight Revolver pocket holster and an American Fighting Revolver appendix holster. $750 for everything. Thats around what I paid for the pistol, so you get both holsters and the ammo for free. The ammo was designed with this gun in mind, and the holsters are both fantastic pieces. Meet up local to Knoxville, or I'm driving down towards Harrison/Chattanooga tomorrow morning, Friday the 27th of Dec. And can meet along the way.

Merry Christmas from Moose and Brutus!

I did more than a few deals with Jim. Always gracious, always kind, NEVER had a quick visit. My wife and I "stopped by" one day and she and Kathy spent an hour talking like old friends in the garden while Jim and I talked about everything under the sun. Super smart guy, and truly a class act. He will most assuredly be missed by many. As the Jewish saying goes, "May his memory be a blessing".
