@19_A_CPT bred a good pup. Just passed 4 months!

Up for sale is a beautiful 1936 Remington Model 11 16ga Shotgun “The Sportsman”. The Sportsman is a 3-shell version of the Model 11, to comply with waterfowl regulations. It is an early 1936 as it still has the three bird roll mark on each side (which stopped sometime in early 1936). Beautiful hand checkered American walnut stock and forend. These are finished in a hand rubbed Danish oil finish. The barrel is fitted with a Cutts compensator (most likely original) with a full choke end piece. The original bluing is mostly intact but it has turned a bit more brownish with patina. Includes a mostly full box of vintage Western Expert paper shotgun shells #4 shot. Located in Nashville and for sale to folks who can legally own a firearm. $500 obo Additional photos on request

My neighbor would have video of it. Part of me thinks I'd be better off not knowing.

How about a 1910 Remington Model 12 I’ll weight it when I get home Run some CCI Quiet 22 and it sounds like a pellet gun.

I had a friend who kept losing mailboxes to bad drivers as he lived on a corner. I helped him weld iron rods and some railroad iron which he covered with bricks. The next car that hit it was totaled . . .

I don't know if these idiots that is destroying mail boxes but just so people know, It is a federal offense to damage a mail box. Back when I was in high school a couple guys got caught damaging some boxes by an off duty State trooper and he arrested them and the judge made their parents pay to have every one of the boxes replaced.

I've read that they can be a "hit or miss" kind of thing online. But I bought one from a guy at work several ago. He was one of those buy frequently-hardly ever shoot gun guys. I paid very little for it. I ran around 800 rounds of a combination handloads and factory range ammo through it. Then 100 rounds Federal 147 gr HST. It had a couple of FTF within the 1st 200 rounds but never bobbled again after that. For such a light weight gun and with such a long deliberate trigger pull I found it a remarkable little gun. It's not something I would replace my Glocks or Smiths with, but I found my sample of one very shootable. And quite accurate out to the 15 yards in the indoor range where I was shooting at the time (ORSA). I had a total of 4 mags for it and they all functioned fine. My son has it as a 2nd "house gun" at this point. I hope you get yours worked out to your satisfaction.

About the only benefit it serves now is to be the whipping boy to take the anti-gunners' heat while better organizations like GOA make actual progress.

I have a Bul-Armory SAS II ultralight 9mm 2011 pistol for sale. I've never shot it, but it is lightly used. It comes with 2 magazines and the hard pelican style case it was sold in. I also have an ambi safety for it that would need to be installed. This work would need to be done by a gunsmith as I am told it requires some fitting. Looking to get $1200. Would be willing to trade for colt pattern Pistol caliber carbines of equal value.

I live at the end of a dead end road in the middle of nowhere. Once every year or two, I find myself replacing my mailbox. What the hell is wrong with people??!!??? I'd sure like to rig this one with a grenade.

Like new Kimber Aegis Elite Pro, with a vortex venom on it. Everything from factory, just getting rid of some I don’t shoot $1200 Can meet in Franklin or Erin

I have a soft spot for pump action 22s. That is gorgeous!!

I found an AR lower I knew I had, but had forgotten about. Turns out I also had enough spare parts to build the lower w/out buying one single part. It was kind of satisfying. It DOES pay to save up spare parts.

Today I am posting this pretty little 100 year old Smith and Wesson .22 caliber Heavy Frame Target Pistol. These are called "Bekeart Models" due to being most famously ordered and built at the request of Mr. Philip Bekeart of San Francisco. While this gun does not bear any markings or claims to have been shipped to his store it is a very early run of the series having the Smith and Wesson Logo on the right side yet still having two stock screws instead of one. If my Smith and Wesson Standard Catalog is correct (page 132 of fourth edition) this pistol was made circa 1914-1919. Serial number 221360 also indicates it was built prior to the finish of WWI which occurred around serial number 258,000. The pistol has been refinished as these were only created with a blued finish and this one has a nickel finish. That being said, it is otherwise is great condition. I would still like to add my standard disclaimer that I am neither trained in gunsmithing 100+ year old firearms and neither do I have the tools to properly evaluate them. Before firing this firearm you should engage the services of someone who has those skills and those tools. I am selling this on behalf of my pastor who inherited them from his Father-in-law's estate. He is the legal owner and has designated me to be his representative and sell them on his behalf. If, you would like the pastor to be present to verify legal ownership he is willing to be present. Up to you. Asking $400 Sorry for the number and quality of photos. TNGO is being weird today. Yesterday I could post 6 photos, today I had to scrub background, lower quality, and could still only get two. if you message me I can provide more and better photos is desired.

Put a cell camera next to it. Find out who it is. Burn their car/truck to the ground around 1 month later. Keep your mouth shut about it. Enjoy your 5 year old mailbox 5 years later.

I can't help with a broken screwhead. That would suk! I'm starting a Mossberg Shockwave box/kit as of 30 minutes ago. Have you seen how friggin' tiny the detent ball bearing is on a Mossberg safety? Good Grief! Luckily the steel safety came with an extra. <sigh>

Marlin 795, weighs 4.5lbs. And they have a good reputation for accuracy.

I've got a whole plastic divided tray full of Glock parts and another of S&W revolver parts & springs. I could probably replace all the Glock internals twice over and I've definitely used out of both stashes over the years. Great advice/suggestion Sir!

Our government: We must arm the Ukranian's! We must arm the Israeli's! We must arm the DACA people! We must disarm the American populace!

S&W M&P .22 Light, accurate enough, 25 Rd Mags, stock adjustable for women or kids. Lot's of fun to shoot.

Well, what money I have is "stupid" money for sure, ha, ha. But as I mentioned in my original post, I already have a Winchester 52 and a 75 which is almost on the same par, but those rifles are very heavy and not what I need for long walks and lots of off hand shooting. I did find something today in a pawn shop. It is a classic from Remington. The model 512P Sportsman. Bolt action and tube fed. This one was made in 1946 and it fits all of the needs that I have. While I have run some rounds through it, I have not sighted it in yet so I will need to get some time to do that and dial it in.

The Yo-yo man will be missed

This gun was built with the sole purpose to end a grudge match back in the day. I use to do quite a bit of long range shooting and there was a mentor of mine who never believed a semi-automatic .308 could move into shooting consistent sub MOA groups. Out of youthful ignorance, and pockets full of money with zero social obligations, such things can be built. The upper is a DPMS 24 inch bull barrel with a tuned brake. Lower is a CMMG Gen 2 Timney Trigger with 3.5 pound glass break Heavy H2 rifle buffer with AR Stoner tuned Buffer Spring Magpul PRS stock Ergo Tactical with Palm Shelf grip Nikko-Sterling 6-24x56 Illuminated reticle with locking zero stop turrets Burris R.E.P.R scope mount. 10 round PMAG This firearm is a joy to shoot, recoil is VERY light due to brake, heavy buffer and tuned spring. It is not difficult at all to shoot and trace the vapor trail through the scope. This rifle all together has probably 400 rounds down the pipe. The rifle is extremely accurate and has been one of those rifles that makes shooting extremely fun whether a novice or someone with experience. The rifle needs nothing. I will include 60 rounds of 168 HPBT ammo which the gun is currently zero'd for. The rifle will eat whatever you feed it. I have only ever used brass case factory loaded ammunition. 1400 dollars as is. 1200 dollars less optics

What can I say? January is bargain month

A friend of my Dad is/was a metal fabricator. He solved repeated mailbox problems by building one out of boiler plate that looked like a stock standard mailbox. welded it to a piece of 6" well casing cemented it deep in the ground after filled the pipe full of concrete. In a week or so he found a broken baseball bat laying by his box and it hardly scuffed the paint. I have been lucky with over 50 years of rural delivery in 3 location and near lost a mailbox to vandalism, once by snowplow.

I have a 1956 Winchester 61. Talk about a great shooter and pretty light.

When I was a kid, our subdivision had split roads with a median. They tried to keep the medians pretty with various flowers and shrubs. A couple local nitwits kept driving through them at night. Dad and a neighbor got annoyed and bought some 2" black iron pipe. They stuck 4' lengths of it half in the ground inside a few of the bushes. A few nights later they heard some unfortunate noises. The next morning they found fresh tire tracks in the median. They followed the trail of oil and coolant around the corner and called in the license plate number of the truck. The judge sentenced the guys to community service, redoing all the landscaping in the medians.

In all fairness, you did bring up the grenade. I did something similar, but it triggered a camera pre cell camera days.

Those things are easy to shoot accurately!!!

I have a Benchmade Griptilian Mel Pardue edition for sale. It is in great shape. I used it very little. Asking $130.

They'd have to admit to multiple federal crimes to help the police find out who did it. No down side. Kinda like braking the arms of a pedophile.

Honey

This posting is in regards to the title named pistol. Built circa 1903-1905 this .32-20 Winchester double action revolver is of the 4" barrel, with rounded black rubber with Smith and Wesson logo monogramed handle variety. Serial number 14903. Please turn you handy Smith and Wesson Standard Catalog fourth edition to page 150 to read more. UNLIKE my previous posts with antique firearms, this one is in its original factory finish. The firearm does have several indicators of wear as visible in the photos. However, having that factory finish is a huge plus for you collectors I know. My standard disclaimer applies, this pistol is approximately 120 years old. I am not a gunsmith nor do I have specialized tools. Before trying to fire live ammunition through this firearm you should seek the services of a competent professional who has the training and tools to evaluate a 100+ year old firearm. Asking $450 I am selling this firearm on behalf of my pastor who inherited this firearm from his Father-in-Law's estate. The pastor has designated me to be his representative in these sales. However, if you the purchaser would like my pastor to be present to verify legal ownership he is willing to be present.

Close shots, you may or may not use dot, but you have already made a big step in helping with that.....keeping both eyes open. Also helps in low light.

I have a CZ 455 that sounds like what you want. It’s a shooter and it looks and carries like a first gen walnut/blue Ruger 77 that somebody threw on the copier and hit 80%. I think I gave $400 for it new three or four years ago. CZ replaced the 455 with the 457, but I assume they are similar size-wise.

I also have a 795. It’s just a mag fed model 60 from what I’ve read. It’s super accurate as well.

Way back in high school, a neighbor of mine got fed up with this. His solution was to make one in shop class out of 1/4” steel. I hauled it home for him. We had to unload it and set it in place with a tractor and front end loader. Thirty something years later, that box has many paint colors on it, but still stands. I have considered doing something similar. I’d need to broke a post hole auger for the tractor. No way I’m hand digging a hole that deep!

I want more firearms but I'm self imposing a parts and ammo diet for now. I feel fairly comfortable with my stash, but often think to myself, "what if that spring breaks?", so I'm starting to get at least one or two repair items for the guns I've deemed as my go-to. All the ammo in the world won't help if you have a broken extractor.

If you want even smaller/lighter, there's the Chiappa Little Badger. I have the .22 WMR version, but it comes in .22LR too. It's more accurate than me and the trigger is surprisingly good. More importantly, it's just simple and a ton of fun to shoot.

I have an older wood stocked Marlin Mdl 60 that is light. Most probably killed around 900 nuance squirrels in the past 2 years. It is a tack drive scoped. I cannot shoot as well with irons anymore. Old eyes.

I have a 15in BCM KMR. Rail is lightly used with some handling marks but the barrel nut is new. $110 shipped.

No stock refinishing but perhaps barrel swaps, things like investigate why my Enfield won’t extract, figure out why it shoots, 6-8” groups at 100yds, why my 54r Vepr which also shoots horrible groups no matter the ammo, possible trigger clean up improvements on various mag/actions, etc., I’d love ot find someone that could swap the barrel on a spent PU Sniper I re-snipered in error many years ago. Scatman, You mean Echo Three Armory in Chapel Hill, TN? Never heard of em. Will investigate https://echo3armoryllc.com/ Mike W, Yes I searched/found Ronnie Morris via some forums (including this one). I guess he’s known for hot-shot, tunes of M14/M1As. Not far from me. I’ll see if he’s still at it. Match Service Works Ronnie Morris 422 Maple St. Madison, TN 37115 (615) 868-4567 ronm@bellsouth.net Someone thought there was a guy at Royal Range west of town that was pretty good. They have all kinds of classic milsurps you can rent to shoot as well as old and modern full autos so I gotta imagine they have or would have a line on a guy that’s right up my alley.

Remington nylon 66 buy far the lightest 22 I know of. shoot’s great to

A 10/22 takedown with Magpul Backpacker stock is very light.

I’d look for a Remington Nylon 66.

Great game but it’s not going to feel right without an SEC team in the championship.

Hornady gauges are very very tight. They are not forgiving at all. Even some of Hornady ammo off the shelf wont even gauge in their own gauges. Shock bottle gauges are extremely forgiving and if your ammo does not gauge in a shock bottle gauge I would suggest not shooting it. Some of the reasons 9mm cartridges dont gauge are: Glock bulge in the old case (need to be roll sized) Concentricity of the projectile is not perfect (initial seating die needs adjusting) Cases are hairline cracked (visual inspection before loading or can only be checked by a camdex processor) OAL is not to spec There are several other variables but these are the major reasons. Unless you are shooting tournament I would not use a Hornady gauge. I would suggest a shockbottle gauge for range ammo and Wolff gauge for self defense. Best of luck and hope this helps a little

Dealing with pistol optics and RDSs, a torque screwdriver / wrench is money well spent. I've been using the Wheeler FAT driver and it does the job so far. If it saves you from breaking just one screw off in a slide, it'll more than pay for itself.
