We hired the inspector, not the seller. He did catch other issues like I mentioned. It's well known that a home inspector will never catch every issue. I lived here 1.5 years before figuring this out. It's a 32 year old house so if this is my worst problem I'll take it. I'll get it fixed and move on. I'm going to get a few estimates from Heat and Air companies before ripping out the ceiling. They may have a solution.

I sorely miss several of the few things I have sold. Once I finally got into a financial position where I didn’t really need to sell anything, I pretty much stopped. I can also say the older I get, the less I buy. I guess I have pretty much everything I ever wanted.

I want to thank @Overseas Living for my latest purchase. I think this is quite a beautiful rifle and while I will shoot it some, I also plan to keep it and enjoy it for its timelessness. 1925 Winchester Model 94 Saddle Ring Carbine chambered in .32 WS. Quite a beautiful rifle.

Inspectors look, they don't take anything apart, if he can't see it he can't report it. Solve your problem and get on with life. No point in barking up a dead tree.

I would personally rip out enough of my basement ceiling to do it right which means venting to the outside. Drywall is easy to repair. It may not look like any mold, etc, but you really don't know until you can see better. Best case, there is nothing. Worst case, you can spray it while the ceiling is open and know it is good for long term.

I agree I have a problem, and admitting the problem is the first step to recovery. I have purchased 3 lever action rifles in a week. I think that is a new record on gun purchases for me. the SRC is what I have really been wanting. The other two I think were just getting ready. LOL. But I really like them and they will be shooters. This one will get shot some, cleaned and stored. Them taken out, fondled, and put back again. , I really like how the Ted Williams turned out with the scope.

There's a 90% chance I could run that vent without doing any damage, assuming there is no obstruction such as blocking or other ductwork in that framing channel. Otherwise I'd have to cut a couple of holes in the ceiling. Cut to patch, IOWs cut clean and square, make it easy on yourself. But then, this is what I do for a living. Yes, vent to the exterior.

This may be a tough one to move on here but figured I would give it a shot before GB. This is a very early Walther PP (circa 1935). It is possibly a factory Verchromt (satin nickel) gun but I can’t definitively say. The finish shows wear and age. The grips and finger extension on magazine are post war replacements, though the magazine is war time. I have included detailed pictures to hopefully answer any questions. I am asking $1900 face to face in Middle Tennessee. Would consider trades for other pre-1945 German pistols or high end AKs. Will need to see TN DL or HCP.

SOLD

Springfield Range officer target 45. Comes with four factory mags and soft case. About 150 rounds through it. In or around Jackson area, willing to travel reasonable distance for sale. Tn residents must be over 21 and legally eligible to own firearms with current DL or HCP (preferred). Must fill out a bill of sale. $650 cash or $700 trade. Interested in Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 in 45 or 10 mm with 4inch barrel. Other trades of equal value also considered. Pm with offers or questions.

Bought new about a year ago. I put about 50 rounds through it and it’s been in the case ever since. $750 anywhere in the greater Nashville area.

In excellent condition. Comes in original box with manual. Made in 2021. $450 Clarksville/Pleasant View area. NO TRADES.

Here is a Franchi Renaissance. I am the second owner, the original owner stated they didn't shoot it, I did have to clean off the packing grease from it when I purchased it from them and it did indeed look unfired. I have shot 1 round of sporting clays with them putting the round count at about 100. It comes with everything in the photos. It is everything that was with it when I took possession. Price is firm, cash. Trades would be for O/U shotguns in 12G.

Springfield M1A Walnut stock, .308 cal. 3 magazines, new scope mount, includes case and manuals. I bought it four years ago and only took it to the range one time. I have put less than 40 rounds though it. $1,500 615-838-1968

Speaking of the Governor, this letter was received by TFA during his first run for office. I will not editorialize, but rather let the reader muse on the promises made, and those kept.

GLWS. Super opportunity to own that Benelli.

Look to see (if possible) that a joist brace is not in the way as this could prevent you from really determining if the "holes" line up or not. I usually clean the dryer vent that was installed in the crawl space in my house, and vents to the outside wall. The path of my 4" round tubing takes a 90* turn around a corner of the foundation blocks. In turn I have to approach the 4" tubing from both ends when cleaning. I also use some 1" pvc pipe to extend my reach with the brush I use, and use almost 20 feet of pvc pipe to reach the 90* bend in addition to the 12 feet of fiberglass tubing that attaches to the brush. I use an electric leaf blower to clear the loose lint out after running the brush from both ends. Try pushing inserting some 1" pvc pipe thru the exterior hole and see if you can get more pvc pipe in the path of the vent tubing than what you actually measure it to be or close. Might find a brace or truly determine the holes don't line up as you currently think.

Carried a 5 shot bulldog for a while, when I was loading for .44 Pocket holster fit right in work pants like Dickies. Fit my hand a lot better than the 938 I have. Wish I didn't sell it, but thats life. Given the opportunity, I'd carry another snub in .44spl.

For anyone interested. Andrew Branca will be evaluating this incident with Attorney Steve Gosney today at 3pm CST on YouTube. From the email promoting this event, "...Although the initial shots fired by the shooter appear to be legally justified as defense of self, defense of others, and (uniquely under Texas law) perhaps even defense of property, the last shot fired looks more difficult to justify. At the moment that ninth shot was fired the robber was apparently unconscious on the floor and had been disarmed of the only weapon he was known to possess, when the shooter fired one last shot, apparently into the robber's head."

Correct. The wall with that window in my picture is probably the same distance and I would have to drill through brick on that side. No kidding. The previous owners had the siding replaced in 2015. I'm guessing that is when the existing vent was "misplaced".

It’s difficult to love your fellow man when you see chit like this.

It seems that way yes. When I was outside, I couldn't see the broom handle sticking down the hole and I could barely see the light from her flashlight. It seems like it's to the right of the floor joists where as the hole in the side of the house is to the left. Total distance is probably is 10-12'. In this picture, the doors in the left are for the washer dryer. On the right is the pantry door which backs up to the exterior wall. The vent was supposed to run under that floor.

Couple of questions. The American Defense QD Mount appears to be what they classify as their Co-Witness version that has a center-line to top of rail height of 1.52". Is this accurate? Do you still have the original mount that came with the Aimpoint PRO as well? Thank you for the listing.

During the rush to buy homes in the past three years, it was a seller's market. Homes were snapped up without the buyer performing a thorough home inspection from a qualified and certified inspector that they hired. Too often they relied on the seller's promise that everything was fine and their home inspector (not certified) had given it high marks. Now, two years later, some people are experiencing the fallout. The biggest investment in people's lives, but they won't spring for a certified home inspector to give the house a complete top to bottom looksie. So it costs $1000-1500? So what? Try fixing a bad problem like electrical, plumbing, mold, sewer, wood rot, etc for $1500. Spend the money to save your money.

I recently purchased a Max 9 and have liked it. I carry it on Sunday and Wednesday night to church. I normally pocket carry a Taurus 2" Mdl 617 7 shot loaded w/357 Cor Bod DPX. The Max 9 does not print as bad and for sure when wearing black slacks. I would like to carry it with the 12-round mag, but the grip is too long for pocket carry. Does fine with the 10-round mag. Carry both in Nemesis pocket holster.

I’ve finally got this rifle setup just about perfect. Pretty happy with where it’s at now.

That is a sweet looking piece of freedom seed slinger!

Welcome!

Newish. The aimpoint is the newest thing on the rifle and that’s still at least 20 years old. I love old a1 and a2 rifles. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy all the newest tactical stuff but I love the old big guys too.

I've already been feeling pretty raw over his "make TN roads better" agenda and now this. His second term is going to prove to be his slimiest.

Picked up a new leather strap for the Speedy. Wasn’t expecting much at $20 but it surprised me.

I am trying the pistol optic thing again. This one is the new HoloSun SCS (solar charging site). It does not have a replaceable battery so it can be a bit smaller. This model is customized to the frame of the gun so it sits lower. From my first trip to the range, this one is MUCH easier for me to find the dot faster. I do not spend any time "searching for the dot" so far.

Godspeed John. May the Lord bless and keep your family.

You may have a hard time getting the wadcutters to feed in a .380 and a 9x18.

Hi Whisper, I'm a new transplant from Southern California - our family of five came to Chattanooga without knowing a soul here. I fought the good fight on the Left Coast, served in elected office as the President of a local Board of Education, own and operate a successful but heavily oppressed gun shop, and was a guest speaker in local churches. Once we realized our home state was truly unsalvageable, I began a nationwide search for the ideal place to settle for my future generations, with an eye towards a 3-5 year plan. That 3 year plan became a 3 month plan, as our home value skyrocketed and I realized that *now* was the time, as my three kids are all still at home with us, but in 3-5 years we might have one married or otherwise tied to the area. Having the whole family mobile at a time when our home had gained $1M in equity was the right timing, as uncomfortable as it was to move on short notice. I'm a very studious person - I love detailed research and data-driven decisions backing up prayerful consideration. In looking at the whole of the nation - every state, every region - Chattanooga rose to the undisputed top of the list. Tennessee for obvious reasons, but Chattanooga offers the very best of the Volunteer State's advantages, for our tastes and desires, with any drawbacks minimized. I founded my firearms business in CA 8 years ago. After a layoff from the building materials industry when things slowed in 2012, I returned to my military roots and began gunsmithing (I got my GS Cert at SDI after I left the service) out of my home. What was intended to be a side job while I found my next career ended up being so successful, I *had* to open a brick and mortar. It has been a wonderful ride. My shop remains open in CA, but I am removed from daily operations. My staff handles everything including the local gunsmithing operations under the man who apprenticed under me. I am here now in Harrison Bay and I'd be happy to take a look at anything you need done. I don't have a lathe here like at the shop, so my barrel and round rod machine work is limited, but I have all my skill and a second set of most of my specialty tools. In any case, gunsmithing or not, I sure would like to meet like-minded people who are also looking for a new network of local friends. - David

I think I've shared it before, but this was my grandfather's duty gun when he was a police officer back in the 60's. Smith & Wesson Model 19. He left it to my dad and I inherited it when my dad passed away. This is one of those guns that my kids will inherit one day, and hopefully their kids as well.

Manufacturers have responded by making carry guns smaller and smaller yet people keep adding on doodads and extended magazines to get back where we started.
