I posted this also in my long running “I want a lever gun” thread. I just picked up a 1969 Marlin 336 in .30-30. This makes #5. I have to say I think I did well for a GB purchase. I hate paying tax and shipping, and FFL fees, but this one was sweet, made the same year as me, and included a vintage Weaver K4 scope on see-through rings and a vintage sling. The metal and wood are in fantastic shape. There is maybe one small dent in the stock. The bore is shinny with strong rifling (after a good scrubbing). JM stamped barrel

Rex Zero 1 https://www.arex.si/zero1 last summer I noticed a Sig226 clone on a local online gun auction site harveysauctions.com It looked so much like the Sig that I had to check it out. After handling this pistol I bid and won the Rex Zero One for $420. Manufactured in Slovenia and imported by Fime Group out of Las Vegas this pistol is a beast. And point of aim is dead on. This pistol is very customizable with after market parts available becoming available There are a lot of Utube reviews and torture test , including a 3000 round non stop firing with zero malfunctions

LWRC SMG 45 in excellent condition. This one does not have the "random flyer" issue. It did when I got it but LWRC fixed it (for free) and it is all good now. It groups amazingly well. It is very accurate. Includes 4 extra 25 round magazines ($50 each) plus the 2 that came with the gun for a total of 6. Also includes a magazine loader ($40) and original box and manual too. These are $2995 MSRP and go for $2300-$2999 on auction sites. I am asking $2,200 for a FTF meeting in Murfreesboro. Happy to answer any questions about it. Can provide targets showing groups or even shooting video if needed to demonstrate how well it functions.

This item is a S&W .22/32 hand ejector pistol, commonly called (erroneously) a Bekeart. This particular pistol appears to have been made in approximately 1914-1919 since it has the two screw stock which was discontinued in 1919 but it has the logo on the right side which occurred in 1914 and the serial number is below 321,000 which was produced in 1920 when they first began heat treating the cylinders. This makes this gun about 106 years old as well as not technically a true Bekeart as it was not shipped to Mr Bekeart. Cosmetically there is nothing wrong with the gun whatsoever. The grips are original and unblemished walnut. The frame still maintains a high glossy finish for the majority of the pistol and the function of the gun is still in great shape. Mechanically the only "defect" I can find is that the hand ejector, while still 100% functioning, is not as smooth as it used to be. I will see if I can resolve some of this prior to sale with some TLC. The trigger is still incredibly smooth and crisp and all components are tight with no wobble or other defect in fit/finish. I am selling this gun on behalf of my pastor who inherited this firearm from the estate of his father in law. Since my pastor is not a gun guy he has asked for my help in selling the gun and I am obliging. I can meet for a sale anywhere from Franklin north up to Whitehouse/Portland area. The pastor is willing to be present at the sale if requested but if his presence is desired by you the buyer the meet would need to happen closer to Portland where the church is as he is pretty tied up there at the church literally 7 days a week. Asking $1500 as the catalog lists $1250 for a "fine version" of the gun and $2,000 for an excellent and I think this gun falls in-between those two terms.

I honestly thought it was referring to those. They are awful.

When I realized I couldn't consistently get enough finger on the Glock trigger without resulting in Glock Knuckle, I went to another gun entirely. 9mm is OK for me but the larger framed Glocks tend to be a problem. Placement of the backstrap squarely in the middle of the thumb knuckle / index finger knuckle is where the correct grip starts, IMO. If you can't reach the trigger (and safety, if you have one) adequately when your gun's in the middle of that web, it's time to get a different gun.

So I am the proud owner of a 1969 built Marlin 336RC in .30-30. It came with a vintage (I hope 1969) Weaver K4 scope mounted and a sling. The bluing is in great shape and the wood is beautiful. It doesn’t look like anyone ever made the mistake of adding varnish to the wood. I think it is almost as pretty and nice as the ‘25 Model 94.

I second a love for the b5 systems. vltor ar stock systems are great too.

Caution against self prescribed “pt”, you could do more harm than good. Know how frustrating injuries like this (have some surgery on horizon myself), but most PTs are happy to give you homework so even if you can’t get in for proper sessions you will have home exercises to work on. GL mate

If the deal falls thru then I will let you know.

Memphis shooting leaves 11 victims, suspect remains at large: police | Fox News

Never had a rifle stock turn sticky, but I've got a entry level rangefinder that went sticky. I had left it in the OEM travel/storage case but inside a plastic tote in the back of my truck for a good while thinking I needed it there. I tried a wet rag and then some rubbing alcohol, neither of which helped. I don't use it much and just deal with it. Totally different than a stock tho for sure.

TACOPS i think? https://www.sigsauer.com/p365-xmacro-tacops.html

Thanks!!!

The mags alone are $800..beauty..glws.

Those old Weaver K4s are about as good a workhorse scope as you'll find

That is a nice one. You do not find many that old in that condition. Good score!

Mine was manufactured in 1987, but it looks just about as yours does. They're nice rifles, in my opinion.

I've never owned a PPQ so I really can't say. From looking at photos, the PDP looks to build off of the PPQ's positive points and adds quite a bit more. The PDP's grip texture is insanely good. Grippy without being abrasive. The PDP F-Series addresses the issues that you had with the length of pull.

Great looking lever. Congratulations. The 1960s year models always speak to me.

Oh, and LWRC is working on an alternate solution to the folding pistol brace issue for any that may be concerned about that.....

Disgusting! With a bail bondsman he can be released for $2500! Obviously, life is cheap in Memphis!!!

One of the accused shooters got a $25,000 bond today. I don't think things are improving around here. https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/man-charged-with-mass-shooting-at-whitehaven-club-given-25k-bond/article_2df1f818-b3aa-11ed-816a-37bc94b1a5e3.html

I am using the NRA classification system of antiques. I would categorize this as between good and very good since it doesn't have any replacement parts. For argument's sake, we will call it good. Winchester Model 1890 takedown chambered in 22 long. Serial number dates to 1904 manufacture. This makes a model 2. 24" Octagon barrel in good overall condition and still fires (although I have not done so in years). Slide action works great but could use good lubrication. I'm happy to provide additional pictures, or come on down and see it face-to-face. It is located in Mount Juliet. Withdrawn Thank you, and God Bless.

Dad had a stainless Taurus copy of a 92 Beretta. I sure wish I’d have known he was going to trade it off. That was a fine pistol.

I'm glad to see Taurus products "getting some love" on this thread. I have owned a half dozen or so of them over the years and have never had a single problem with them. In fact, the most accurate "out of the box" 1911 that I ever owned or fired was a Taurus. I'm not saying that the complaints some have had are not legit, just saying that my personal experience with them could not have been any better

Or care.....

And that's exactly what happened. 500 mostly pavement miles killed the back tire. My goal this year is to ride a lot more off pavement. It's more fun and I don't have to worry as much about someone killing me.

Obviously, a dual sport bike is a trade off, like a fish and ski boat. It’ll serve two purposes, but not as well as a single purpose built machine. Aggressive dirt bike tires will work better off road, but will suck on pavement. Pavement will also wear the tread down in short order. I can tell you this. If you swap the back tire out for a more aggressively treaded tire, bite the bullet and replace the front one as well. If you get a better grip with the back one, you’re going to be fighting the front one trying to slide out from under you. All that to say I don’t have an answer to your question. LOL!

I planted a cover crop of peas for the winter. They're coming up nicely now. I'm curious to see how well this works.

Certainly didn't mean for it to come across that way. I apologize.

Seriously? You denote hostility in these simple questions ? This is just a simple response to your question.......geez.
