Alec Baldwin is being charged with involuntary manslaughter. https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/19/alec-baldwin-involuntary-manslaughter-rust-fatal-shooting-charges-district-attorney/?adid=social-fb

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.

The Armorer was also charged with involuntary manslaughter. https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/alec-baldwin-charged-involuntary-manslaughter-fatal-rust-shooting-district-attorney

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-

Great shooting gun, don't really want to sell, but looking to fund another project. Taylor and Co. From what I understand, they take Rock Island guns, and trick them out a little bit. This has G10 grips, extended ambi controls, and a full length guide rod that does not require any special tools for takedown. I think I have 2 or 300 rounds through this gun, all flawless, not a single hiccup. Comes with 2 10 round mags. $450

Me too! There's a lot of knowledge there.

Many productions require everyone who handles a weapon, right down to the actors, to verify the weapon is clear. If they had such a policy, and didn't follow those procedure, which is obvious he didn't, he is subject to liability as an actor as well.

Great condition early style xcr with 2 mags. Wonderful gun but need it out of my safe. $1500.00 located in Knoxville.

Yes Sir. I read way more than I post. Learn a good bit that way LOL

Can't go wrong with a Citori they are great shotguns.

Sorry, too far out from me , if you ever come to Nashville please let me know

This is one of those classics every serious shooter should have.

So what say ye? Glock with drop in barrel? Sig? 1911? FN? CZ? im personally partial to 1911s for firm and function (but not capacity) but it either needs to be threaded barrel from the factory or have the barrel fit. Glock MOS is appealing but I have plenty of Glock pistols. What’s your opinion. FYI suppressor waiting on permission from the King is Rugged Obsidian 45

Man, are they just throwing away all those chicken’s front legs?

I have a few dozen suppressor hosts; I really enjoy playing and training with suppressed firearms. In .45, my favorite is my FNX-45 Tactical. It comes from the factory with so many desirable features that take significant modification/upgrades on other handguns. Suppressor height sights, unobtrusive factory threaded barrel, optics cut with all the required plates, high capacity for a .45, user-configurable modularity to accommodate your hand size. It's reliable with everything I've put on it - Osprey, Omega 45K, Hybrid, Gemtec-45, Rugged Obsidian, and a couple others. I also have a 1911, 2011, Para double stack, G21, HK USSOCOM Mk23, M&P 2.0, and a couple also-rans that I took the threads back out of. Only the Mk23 runs as reliably perfect as the FNX, but it is a pig of a gun... I feel like I might as well be carrying my UMP45. The FNX lives full time with my Osprey on its nose. Feeds any ammo, any weight. Slap rack aim pop.

I believe this! Mine brings up an incident from 40 years ago every now and then. I don't think I'll ever be forgiven for it.

Found Rio Bravo on archive.org so I'm downloading it to ad to my watch list.

Complete waste of time by Gaetz. Not surprised either. I wish the GOP would work on a practical solution for this issue.

Easily one of the top ten John Wayne movies. Also had Walter Brennan as Stumpy. Great movie.

If you guys want a great, bullet proof clear coat option check out SprayMax 2K clear coat. I've used the glossy on a motorcycle and a number of other things. I use the matte on guns and it holds up extremely well. It's a true auto clear coat with the hardener. It's the best you're going to find anywhere. It's pricey and the can will harden up 24hrs after you puncture the hardener and shake the can so I usually wait until I have a few things to paint
