SOLD For sale is a nice IBM M1 Carbine. Comes with 2 mags and approximately 600 rounds of ammo. 100 rounds are Magtech and approx 500 (I'm pretty sure this is as purchased but I can't be 100%) rounds Aguila in the ammo can. I won't sell the ammo separately unless the M1 sells to someone not interested in the ammo. $1500 in the Mt. Juliet area. Prefer a TN HCP holder for obvious reasons. If you don't the ammo, just let me know and we will figure something out.

This was a civil trial, not a criminal one. It'll have to be enough that Wayne is going to spend the rest of his life in financial destitution and the next ones holding the reigns know they're being watched. Ironically the NYAG might have done more good for the NRA in the long term here than could be had from internal discontent.

Suppressed 45-70 is a lot of fun with the right ammo.

If they don’t take action to shrink that board to a size that effective for governance, then nothing can/will change. That’s the key to everything right there.

The sad part is that amount doesn't come close to what was stolen. They destroyed a once highly regarded organization. I hope some jail time is given. Good riddance.

Sorry to see that the one who got the scalp was NY AG Letitia James of the "Get Donald Trump" fame. This only adds to her momentum with the crazies. Whatever...I hope the future's brighter at the NRA.

There have always been the blind loyalist that believe the NRA can do no wrong. They're part of the problem and the reason WLP was able to do the things he did and do it for so long. The antis are celebrating and thinking they won. Actually we won because they succeeded in doing what much of the membership has been trying to do for years. Wayne is gone and the NRA is all the better for it. Now to see what the new leadership is gonna do. Get back in the fight or continue the old ways.

I know this photo is in the thread. But I wanted a threaded trapper in 30-30 so I made one from a really rough 1957 336. I had to find parts, cut down the barrel and I had Morgan Richey at Class 3 Machining thread the barrel. I think it turned out nice. If you want to let some of the subsonic 30-30 go, let me know. (the can is still in jail)

Ran across some surplus wool blankets that I haven’t seen before. Advertised as “Brand New 1950's Original Canadian Civil Defense Wool Blankets” by camoLOTS.com in Buffalo, NY. I originally saw their ad on eBay (camoLOTS) where they sell various colors/markings combos. The cheapest I originally saw was “ Without Markings” blankets that were $15.80 each if you bought 4 or more – but when I went to buy the cheapest blankets were all gone (cheapest left were $18.24 for 4+ with markings). I looked around online to see if anyone else was selling these - found a couple of places at higher prices – and also found that camoLOTS also had a website that listed the blankets. But their website prices were much higher than on eBay. There was a ‘Make an Offer” tab under the “Add to Cart”. My offer of $160 for a case of 10 (vs. their $247.50 asking price) was accepted several hours after submission. Shipping was stiff at over $50, but the box weighed about 50lbs. Received the box in about a week. The blankets are very nice, 59”x 83”, range between 4 lbs 2.4 oz to 4 lbs 6.2oz each on our postal scale. I don’t like scratchy wool and these do not seem scratchy to me (not Merino wool soft, but much better than the cheap wool stuff I’ve usually bought). This shows less than half the blanket, but gives an idea of the overall appearance: Closer views of the blanket details:

Because with Wayne and some of his cronies gone, the board can finally be reset. @Chucktshoeshas the right if it that the size of the board needs to be shrunk. They also have to have the right people to oversee what will be a very important selection of new management.

Its here! I actually picked it up last Wednesday, but I just got around to taking pics and posting today. 1943 Colt frame with an Ithaca slide. This one is a bit nicer than the one I got in round 1. I'm happy with it.

The TX22 Competition is an awesome pistol

All this does is make the NRA look worse. They didn't do anything to fix this issue themselves and allowed it to continue for years. I'm not sure why anyone would look at this and think it proves the NRA might change for the better.

Yep. Instead of destroying it, she may have fixed it. The NRA lost my support because of ole Wayne. Now, they have a chance to regain it. They need some new rules first.

For sale is a minty S&W Model 325 Thunder Ranch revolver. It's a 45 ACP revolver. Pictures show the condition. Comes with several moon clips along with the appropriate tools to make stuffing/unstuffing the clips easy. $1200 in the Mt. Juliet area. Prefer a TN HCP holder for obvious reasons.

Harrods Edition Tudor Black Bay. Put my name down for one in May of 2022 when I was in London and they called me in Dec of 23 and said it was available for PU. My sister just so happened to be there at the same time and was luckily able to pick it up for me. When I got it I looked at the serial number and it’s a mixture of mine and my dads birthdays who passed away in December of 22.

It will be interesting to see if they come clean with their members. And FWIW, I still hope Letitia gats a raging incurable yeast infection, if she doesn't already have one. Her intentions were nothing but evil.

Obligatory morning meme:

LOL. What @ArmyBrat61 said. Couple that with reading scribbled kinda-cursive made up abbreviation medical documentation for the past 50+ years... Thanks @FUJIMO!

This plays directly into my dyslexia. I can read this tsuj enif.

If I'm not mistaken they all have threaded barrels. Grabagub.com has them currently for $267. Last gun I bought through them a couple of weeks ago was $10 for shipping. Plus tax. I have several more expensive 22 pistols, but the TX gets more range time than all of the others. You will love it.

He'll pay the fine out of petty cash. There's no telling how much he actually got away with.

Rest assured that wasn’t their intention, but I expect you’re correct. He’d make a good piñata at the next NRA convention.

That is the best news I've heard since Sunday.

Could be an issue on my end but all I see is a black square for a picture. GLWS!

I want a lever action rifle, kind of old-school cow boy cool. I just don’t know what caliber I should go with. I don’t have plans hunt with it, but it could happen one day. And it does not need to look like a safe queen. Maybe more like I won it in a game of poker while out on the trail running the cattle. what sayith the wisdom of the lords of the TGO?

1. This is a Winchester 1873 Third Model built in 1893 (dated by serial number on Winchestercollector . Org). This has a 24 inch octagon barrel and is chambered in 44-40 WCF. This could use a good cleaning but has a beautiful plum patina to it. It has one new Winchester screw in the lower tang to secure the stock better, it is missing the dust cover and has a small crack in the buttstock. Everything is original to the rifle aside from the one screw. Plenty more pictures available upon request. $2000 OBO. May consider firearm trades of equal value. More pictures upon request.

Same song, different verse.... picked this one up a while back with plans on tricking it out but the G10 grips were as far as I got. I bought it used and there are a couple of areas with slight holster wear, the takedown stop and the very front of the slide and frame on the thumb side (2nd pic). I did a quick field strip and cleaning when I bought it and was surprised at how clean it was internally. My guess it that it was shot very little by the previous owner, just my estimate though FWIW. It has night sites and two 15 round mags. $550, no trades unless you have a 75 in matte stainless you want to get rid of...

Made from 1/8" thick 1084 carbon steel they are 7 1/2" long with a blade of 2 3/4". They have thumb jimping and come with sheaths shown and equipped with a UltiClip. This clip allows you to clip on you pants to pocket carry of IWB carry without a belt. You can also clip it to most belts. And by simply reversing the clip to the other side of the sheath you can carry on the left side if you wish. $95 each shipped. 1. Sold to bubbadavis Ivory toned G10 with G10 pins. 2. Sold to TNBuck2 OD Green Canvas Micarta with G10 pins.

Lighters, not cell phones, at concerts.

I really regret selling the one I had years ago. At the time I wanted something I couldn’t ford without selling that first.

I got all excited when I saw CDN WOOL - had a couple of Red ones (had a wide black stripe across the width - apparently designate blankets designated as for barracks use) Very warm. Image above shows Sarcee Barracks, Calgary, AB so these are pretty old.

Never met a LA I didn't like from .22 on up. Of course the .22s are way cheaper to shoot for plinking, practice and pests but if you get good w/ one of those, those are all transferable skills. Have fun

There is actually wiggle room in the DNC for this. I think we need to keep holding their feet to the fire. For the past 60 years the Gun Control Lobby has gotten every wet dream they ever have had when it comes to erroding either the public's trust with firearms or the 2A itself. If the worn out and recurring statement is, "If it only saved one life." Then why would we not have community outreach or public education on firearm safety?

Same concept exactly! Mountain Dew will probably give you a few more MPG... and kidney stones

Love my TX -22 you will enjoy it

I've been looking for a second 5.56 can and that's been fun.

My 5.56 Thunderbeast is awesome. My Cyclone is probably the most accurate 30 cal I have, but it's heavy. I'm happy with my Rugged Radiant and both Q 30 cal cans. They are my work horses. My 9mm Ti-rant is fantastic, but it doesn't get used much. The SSK was my first and it's huge and heavy. My YHM wraith sounds good, but it can't be taken apart. I wouldn't do that over. My 458 Elite iron was a nightmare.

These weren't my cup of tea but super appreciative that they're getting posted later in the day now.

I'll take the other. PM on the way. I kept waiting to give others a shot...

I've got a Hybrid 46, and I'm very pleased with it. Also have a couple of .22 suppressors, one is a Form 1 model. I'd like to get one more 9mm suppressor which would be mounted on one firearm all the time.

I have always thought a good .30 and .22 qd suppressors would cover most calibers. I did a surefire 300sps, then silencerco octane 9, then silencerco switchback, and finally with a surefire rc2. All are great for my purposes. I probably could have lived without the 9mm can though, it sounded great initially with "suppress everything" but often just sits in the safe now.

I'm a confessed Sig fan fanboy, so I like collecting some of the rarer examples. Back before Sig was Sig-Sauer, they were bound by strict Swiss export laws. Partnering with W Germany's JP Sauer & Sohn in 1976, they produced their guns in Eckernforde and began exporting to the world. Before Sig Sauer was an approved importer into the US, they ran their first imports through Hawes Firearms, and Browning. The Sig Sauer P220 was the first of these rebranded guns, and was marketed as the Browning Double Action Pistol - the BDA. The BDA was imported for only three short years, after which Sig Sauer was a registered US manufacturer for their own products. It had the Euro-style heel magazine release, which limited its success, but the modern design was undeniably effective. Approximately 10,000 sold in 45ACP, and another ~2700 in 9mm. The rarest of all was the BDA chambered in. 38 Super. Only 750 or so of these rare Sigs were imported under the Browning partnership, and they are one of the hardest early US Sig handguns to find. I'm pleased to have come across two over the years, and I snagged them both. Note they have an unusual slide profile at the muzzle. This is alternately called a "pinched" or "dolphin" nose, and was unique to the ~3400 9mm and 38 Super BDA's.

SNL at its best!! IT SUCKS NOW!!!!! Pepsi Pepsi. I loved watching SNL when I was a kid!
