This is a general question and NOT directed at anyone. I have seen pistols for sale in the past that have various customizations- some heavily customized. Most list the custom features and the costs, which are usually added to the asking price. I tend to not be interested in heavily altered pistols- stippled, cerakoted, aftermarket barrels, etc., even if it is a little discounted, let alone listed at a premium. I think it’s because I see them as someone else’s dream gun that didn’t work out like they wanted. I prefer unaltered stock pistols. I’m interested in other views on this, as I might not be thinking correctly.

I recently rediscovered my passion around shotguns, specifically over and unders as well as shooting sporting clays. I have been purchasing some here or there and my main tool is a new Browning Citori CX White, it's a fantastic sporting gun and I love it, but I go with other folks who often times don't have their own shotgun or do but it isn't necissarily ideal for a sporting course. I have let folks use my gun and I really don't have any issue with it but I think it's always nice to have more guns so what better excuse to get a not so nice version of my gun to clean up and work on and also shoot and share? Now these guns are a bit on the pricey side, and not necissarily the most popular type of shooting style here in TN so I chose to go the online route in search of a deal. I came across a posting for a used Citori, with 78 photos for <$1000.00. So I jumped at it, after loking through the photos I was fairly confident I was getting a well loved gun, it had been used but also well taken care of and customized a bit for the previous shooter. Those suspicions were confirmed when the gun showed up at my local FFL. I wasn't sure of the age of the gun but was pretty sure it was older than me. When I finally asked for the S/N to date it the seller had already dropped it off at their FFL and didn't even take note of the S/N. I received it today and sure enough it is a pretty darn good shotgun, definitly shot, but fit and finish is very nice, it's almost as tight as my brand new one, and the S/N checks out as a 1978 production year and the model designation is J53, which is a special order of their standard Grade I Hunter "153" configuration, meaning it was likely part of a large batch of orders for a specific chain of stores. It has 26" barrels, fixed choke of modified over improved cylider, which happens to be exactly what I run in my CX White (I knew that when I bought it), it has the automatic safety bar removed, and the butt pad has been shaved and rounded, so it seems like this gun was used as a clays gun. The only thing it doesn't have that I prefer is a mid-bead which I will look to add at a later date likely. Right now I'm just very happy with my purchase, I happened to have an old case I got on here for a trade a while back that she fits perfect inside of (and my CX White does NOT fit in with the extended chokes installed). Anywho, this is the result of a lot of foam cleaner, a lot of bore cleaning, and toothbrush work and then oil and lube. She has a few nicks and dings but nothing I'm not going to add to, and if I get really frisky later I may just take a crack at some repair/refinish work as I do enjoy working on my firearms.

Just saw a YouTube video that mentions one (probably of many) legal trap in the new rule: IF your background check takes longer than 88 days you will be automatically denied. With upto 40 million new background checks to do, many will not be done in 88 days or less. So therefore it seems like many of these applications will be automatically denied. As soon as your form is denied, you are instantly in possession of a NFA item with no approved stamp and therefore are a felon.

There's at least 3 people (including me) who might be interested in this, but we're waiting for more info...

Because a firearm was used the penalty becomes a mandatory 5 years in prison under NM law. I have a hard time believing he'll be convicted though.

I am very interested in picking one up for myself. I'll keep you posted, if I do.

I'm tagging in with interest. I've been following this on another forum where Caleb is a member and has been very responsive to questions. It's not a terribly large carry package for a 6 shot revolver. I carry either a RDS G-17 or G-19... but I enjoy shooting revolvers. I don't want to be a "Beta Tester", but will certainly be watching to see how this pans out. Thank you @TGO David

Knox News published a very detailed article today explaining what went wrong with TVA during the cold snap. The article is for members only but I'll include the link anyways. It was a combination of problems that caused this but here is what stands out. -Beginning on the 23rd, TVA underestimated the amount of electricity it needed to generate by 655 megawatt hours. This mistake continued the next few days. -One of the two units at the Cumberland Fossil Plant goes offline at 0300. "Critical instrumentation" at the top of the boiler froze over. -By 0455, the 2nd unit goes down, essentially shutting that plant down. -While this is happening, the Bull Run Fossil Plant is unable to come online. It's old and often unreliable according to TVA. Scheduled to retire December of this year. -By 0600 TVA is struggling to get the John Sevier Gas Plant to run properly. This is one of their bigger plants. -By 0900 the sun is up and TVA's solar plants come online but they aren't able to generate a lot of electricity. -By 1030 TVA requests rolling blackouts for the first time ever. Throughout the course of this, the coal and gas plants struggled while the nuclear plants never had any hiccups. TLDR- we need more nuclear plants! https://www.knoxnews.com/story/news/local/tennessee/2023/01/19/tva-blackouts-winter-storm-cold-aging-power-plants/69777671007/

I’m not surprised to see Taurus introduce these models. While they have had some winning designs lately, they sometimes have unusual ideas about what they think the market demands. I’m probably misjudging the market, but I don’t think many revolver shooters will want optics, and I don’t think most shooters who want optics will choose a revolver. I did not know about their association with Caleb Giddings, but that relationship is enough to discourage my interest in purchasing any new Taurus products.

If I'm buying at a private sale, I want a fresh firearm. If I don't know that you are an expert gunsmith (not an assembler) I don't trust you with a Stanley screwdriver, a Dremel, your wife's fingernail file, or your handloads fired in that gun. Particularly if your first name is Bubba. That changes if you're Wilson Combat or a host of reputable outfits as they stand behind their guns. A private seller doesn't. I don't see the need to send my CZs off to Cajun or any other outfit - not because they are suspect -but because I can do things for myself within reason and can save big bucks. I don't fall prey to the concept that if I spend more money the gun will shoot better. I also don't expect to pay for someone's customization at what they paid for that work, much less if they did it. That's ludicrous and may drive down the price. There are a few gunsmiths where their work is legendary and worth the added cost. Then there's everyone else. That's just me.

Some actual facts about this whole deal rather then grumblings and conjecture, -Nioa is a privately owned company and a family owned and run company. The largest in Australia. -Nioa started as a small business, a single retail store, and grew into the the defense contractor for the Australian military. Their story is not that dissimilar to Barrett's -They supply everything from fighting knives to 155mm armillary munitions, many items sourced from other small independent companies like ZU Bladeworx. -If it is Firearms or ammunition related in Australia or New Zealand it was probably sourced, imported, and distributed by Nioa. They are already partners with numerous firearms related companies including Glock, Ruger, Remington, Marlin, Savage, and Colt. -Nioa is not just a military contractor. They supply firearms for sporting and hunting markets in both Australia and New Zealand. -They have been direct partners with Barrett for more than a decade as the importer of Barrett products into Australia and New Zealand. This includes the recent partnership with the Land 159 Tranche 1 contract when the Barrett M107A1 was selected as the anti material sniper rifle. -Nioa previously purchased the Fieldcraft product line from Barrett and will begin producing that product line again in the near future. -Nioa already had a presence here in the US and connections/partnerships with both the US Gov and US military. The purchase of Barrett expands that presence and gives them a production capability in the US they did not previously have. Australians citizens can and do own firearms even though they do have restrictions. Their current gun laws are probably less restrictive than California, Illinois, New York, and a few of the other North Eastern states here. They are certainly less restrictive than many other developed nations in Europe. Nioa, like Barrett, looks to have always been on the side of protecting and/or expanding gun rights in Australia.

Sort of. Those engineers are having to work within legal system constructs and not just pure mechanics. They are also designing on a mass production model, so the tolerances are accounted for to ensure the widest range of base functionality. The whole 1911 thing is a good example. Military grade 1911's were the AK's of the handgun world. Incredibly loose and not terribly accurate without work. Customization is what makes them great guns. So much so, that nearly all 1911's made currently are customized 1911's based on one off's of the past. That being said, I prefer minimal customizing when I buy second hand and I tend to customize parts that can be taken back to stock fairly easily or with known proven parts. I tend to stay away from custom colors, frame modifications, stippling, relief cuts etc.

Midway used to sell brass with their headstamp- I have their brass in .41 mag-so I would assume that is someone's handloads- I have not heard of Midway stamped complete ammo- Someone else may have knowledge about Midway that's different-

Crimson trace green lazer attaches to pic rail. Asking $100 I work in Lebanon and live in Portland I can meet in Gallatin during the week.

Here's another one. A nice used Smith&Wesson 10-5 S&W 38 SPECIAL CTG with a Tyler T Grip, no box. Asking $625 CASH. I'm in the Whitehouse area and can meet in Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, Gallatin, Nashville area but I can drive a little to make a the deal. Thanks.

I was going through my reloading supplies for my 45acp. I hardly shoot it anymore due to the Neuropathy in my hands. I searched all over and seen where they were going for $100+ For a 1000. Well I've got 35,000 LG Winchester Primers and Two 8# of unopened HODGDON P38 POWDER. I'm not looking to take advantage of any members here. So I'm going to price these at what I think is a reasonable price for them. $240 for a box of 5000, If you buy three or more I'll knock the price down to $220 per 5000. The HODGDON P38 Powder $230 each, or buy both at $210 each. If your feeling good and want to get a buddy or two and buy the whole lot I'd do $200 each for a box of 5000 on all the Primers and knock the Powder to $200 each. Total deal for everything $1800 CASH. I'm in the Whitehouse area and can meet at Goodlettsville, Hendersonville, Gallatin, and Nashville area. Can drive a short distance to meet up, but not going to make a 2hr drive or more, if your that far way your gonna have to meet me halfway, Diesel Fuel isn't cheap lol..... Thanks.

This right here is the key point.

He won't even admit to pulling the trigger which we all know is BS.

That was the one!

I have a 710 in 30-06 I would sell if your still looking. Sighted it in and used it one year for hunting. Has the stock Bushnell scope on it, in like new condition.

There are a lot of gunowners who have horrible trigger finger/muzzle discipline and a three pound trigger is the last thing they need.

I see gun upgrades almost exactly the same as car upgrades. A Heartbeat supercharger, T1 full suspension, precooler, MRR Flow Forged wheels, and custom wrap might have cost half as much again as the Corvette, but all together they add maybe 5%-10% to the market value. You might get lucky and find the just-right person who wanted that exact setup, but he still isn't going to pay what you put into it. Those "pay me what I paid" ads tend to stay up forever.

I like 308 and it has been around more than anything I have seen. Lots of bullet weight choices if you ever want/have to reload.

The fact that it brought you here.

I found some customizations can be value-added. My concern has been knowing who performed the work. I purchased a customized CZ but asked for proof of who did the job. Because they had an invoice and work order from Cajun, I bought the pistol. If it had been performed by the owner, I might have passed on the deal.

Awesome rifle...

A number of House members are reaching out to the new TN AG to get him to fight this under 10th Amendment. There may in fact b e legislation filed to require him to do so. Per the W.V. v. EPA case SCOTUS ruled on last year, this specific issue of "rulemaking" subverting the legislature's job to make law will most likely be stopped at some point.

By my reading, that depends on if it needs the tube like an AR, or if it’s a non-functional extension. Less of an issue with the former. Very much an issue with the latter.

I don't like the light rail nor the red dot cut . Heck I'd pay around $500 or so but no way will I pay upwards of $799.
