Less than 50 rounds fired through it since new. Comes with its original Thunder Ranch soft case, 1x set of half moon clips and 2x sets of full moon clips. These are hard to find nowadays and if you’re a Clint Smith fan you’ll love this one. interested in trading for a blued smith model 19 in 357 magnum. Preferably an older pinned barrel example, ww2 pistols, 1911. Can add cash for the right trade. cash price is 1100 located in Knoxville. Buyer will need to show proper Tennessee ID or carry permit.

I bought this just because of its connection to Nashville. It has sat in the safe and I have no intentions of using it so it is up for sale. This is the one piece polymer buttstock/lower from Sabre Defense with am Alexander Arms 6.5 Grendel upper. It will come with everything that came with it when I bought it. 3 AA magazines, 80 rounds Hornady Custom, 60 rounds Hornady Match (140 rounds total) and an older, early 2007, EOTech. Not really looking for any trades right now. $850 for everything listed

I’ll take it.

Prefer stainless, short barreled revolvers. I’m in the Franklin area. Please PM with any questions.

Good on you! The difference is, people probably aren't lining up for months out to pay you for those trigger jobs. I've had some of my customs win championships, and those customers want very specific feels on their triggers. I respect anyone who invests the time and effort to figure out how to work on their own possessions, firearms or otherwise.

That has always been my favorite Far Side.

As Grayfox said check ammoseek, it takes time but you can usually find a place without both tax and shipping. Also, SGAmmo is without a doubt reputable and reliable and has decent deals. They do however have a bit of a reputation for price gouging during Covid/conflict. You can google it, as far as I’m concerned it’s a free market. I try to post no tax and free ship deals in the “deals and steals” thread. If anyone is doing a bulk buy I’m e-mail subscribed to a bunch of places that are no tax and my inbox is open. This certainly isn’t a cheap hobby so every little bit helps (I’ll also send you a food / happy hour recommendation if the wife lifts the package before you do).

That’s proper heater! An N-frame .45 is a thing of joy. GLWS.

Whoever gets this, pm me, I have a chunk of brass for you. Freebie.

He's got a boring job... not many real Americans want to go to Canada.

If he’s like me and not going to be putting thousands of rounds down it every year I’d wait until Black Friday sale when these drop to $400 w/ a $20 off coupon. https://www.primaryarms.com/andro-corp-industries-bravo-556-ar15-rifle-16in Small vet owned shop, warranties the same as PSA. BA barrel, MOA is fine. Goes bang. I listened to a lot of online forums and the general consensus was they were solid beater ARs and the customer service was good. The bones are good, I swapped triggers and added sights and optics and tinkered around. Otherwise I’d just find a blem PSA if he’s trying to stay in budget budget range. PSA rifles seem to have gone up lately though. if he wants to pony up a few more bucks I’d wait for a deal on an https://gunprime.com/products/smith-wesson-mp15-sport-ii-optics-ready-556-nato-16-30rd-black backed by their CS can’t go wrong everyone else online says to jump at a Zion for $700 or so. Im not a big AR guy, don’t know enough about what accessories I actually like, it’s been fun just getting a decent rifle with good bones and tinkering so I’d just get a cheap one and let him figure what he likes.

SG ammo is a good supplier ordered from them before.

As I PM'ed with several revolver aficionados who responded to my Ruger trade post, I realized some people might enjoy a peek at one of the focuses of my collecting: S&W revolvers. Pictured here are from top down are: 1979 Model 629 8-3/8" with a pinned barrel and counterbored cylinder 1983 629-1 4" 1976 Model 29-2 8-3/8" with a pinned barrel and counterbored cylinder 1982 29-3 4" All are "3T" Target Triggers/Hammers/Sights. Both pairs represent the jump in engineering changes from pinned barrels to threaded, and dropping the machining complexity of counterbored cylinders which results in a larger gap to the frame behind the cylinder, in order to clear the protruding cartridge rims. The long barrels are somewhat softer shooting, but the short barrels are more pointable. All require a recitation of the words "do you feel lucky, punk?" after closing the cylinder. I hope some enjoy the peek in the safe.

Very nice collection. Mine is a 6.5" 29-2 w/case, tools and papers.

First, a little back-story. My estranged sister came for a visit on Oct. 7th. Hadn’t seen her in over 10 years. Life and such happens. She brought me a revolver our father gave her in 1987 when she first moved to Atlanta. It’s a S&W model 67-1, made in 1978. Great pairing for my Model 15!! Awesome! (Pics below) (The model 15 was a $400.00 GB purchase, $450.00 after shipping and such)) I took it apart and cleaned and oiled the internals. It was actually quite clean, just dry, as it had been wrapped in a towel and stored in a drawer all those years. I don’t know if she’s ever fired it and doubt my father did very much as even though he carried a gun, he wasn’t generally a shooter. My sister is not a shooter, so talisman effect... Great double DA action trigger (I rarely shoot SA)! The sights were well regulated to 158 gr .38 spls. It easily set off CCI, Winchester, Federal, and SA primers. J On my 2nd, maybe 3rd range trip the following week and approximately 200 rds through it I emptied the cylinder and closed it up. My shooting bud (an RSO at the indoor range) wanted to see it. I opened the cylinder, showed empty, closed the cylinder and the hammer & trigger were locked up tight. Trigger frozen and hammer could not be pulled back. Again cylinder opened easily. WTF? I took it apart when I got home. Nothing would budge as far as the hammer/trigger goes. The rebound slide was back slightly and it too wouldn’t budge. Darn!! As I didn’t want to ruin it (I can change out springs and parts but I am not a revolver-smith…I know my limitations.) I called S&W Customer Service. A very nice and helpful lady in Maryville answered my call. It’s fantastic being able to talk with someone local and that loves their job. She promptly emailed me a shipping label to return the 67 to the Mother ship in MA. All revolver repairs are still being done in MA for the time being, but hopefully in Maryville within a couple of years. This was Oct. 13th…yep, Friday the 13th! So off I went to FedEx. Painless and simple process. Positive interaction. So far so good… A couple of days later I received an email from S&W with the Repair number saying they’d be in touch. I fully expected to wait several weeks as we all read about on the interwebs. But I received email notification for FedEx Monday the 30th that a shipping label had been created from the Mother ship. I phoned them (S&W) Tuesday morning. Again very friendly and helpful gentleman in Maryville. He looked up the repair number and told me that my 67 had been sent over to the Performance Center and they replaced the broken hammer nose bushing and that there would be no charge and they were happy to do it. My model 67 was delivered to my home, signature required of course, by FedEx Thursday afternoon. So less than 3 weeks and no out of pocket expense. I am very impressed with S&W and very happy to have them in TN. Looking forward to S&W completing the move of the next couple of years. Excellent customer service experience all the way around. Now, time to get this 67 back to the range! S&W Model 15 and model 67 10 yards 25 yards

I'd like to publicly thank xtriggerman for his help in resolving this problem for me. I'm not sure how much he'd like me to say, so I don't want to violate any understanding with him. I guess I can say this, as he listed his credentials in an earlier post. I have never seen a more skillful artisan in the area of gunsmithing in my life...and I'm no spring chicken. I'm very thankful for the help he gave me, and our new friendship. We, here on TGO, are fortunate to have such a highly qualified, experienced, and knowledgeable member in our midst. Thank you again, xtriggerman, you're the best!

A lot more .40cal around than I thought. Thanks for the updated list Patton.

Anything PSA really. *edit* I forgot the obligatory "You're riskin yor life if you don't buy a DD, Noveske, LMT!" #dontforgettheacog

Everyone who wants to buy is in middle TN. Lol
