Ok. I probably should have taken better (more) photos. This is the rifle I got when my buddy Bjon got the one above. It’s also a Winchester 1894 but from 1907 chambered in 38-55. I cleaned up and re-did the oil finish on the wood. This was the dirtiest rifle I have picked up yet. It made me wonder if it had been cleaned in the last 50+ years. I had to get oil in it just to get it to cycle. I did a complete tear down, cleaning and such. The rust was removed from the metal parts for the most part and then cold blued. I like them to still have some of their character, not to look like a Turnbill gun. I picked up an old Lyman peep sight for this one.

We had an 18 wheeler hit the bridge abutment of SR171 going over I-40 in Mt Juliet and severely damage it. I don’t know if you can imagine closing My Juliet road, but it was a disaster. I tell you this to say that no one haggled over who paid to repair it. The state picked up the tab, and later went after the trucking company, insurance company, and whoever to recoup the money. Priority one was to reopen the bridge to traffic. That may not make sense to you, but it does to me.

Hate to break it to ya, but that page of history has already been written. Our kids and grandkids will get to live it because we gave away everything in search of cheap crap to buy at cheaper prices and the illusion of always fleeting power. The locus of global power has shifted eastward already and we are doing nothing but continuing to impoverish ourselves with our foreign and economic policy and focusing on an irrelevant European continent. China, Russia, and the Islamic world doesn’t have to do anything to destroy us other than not get in our way.

I saw Buttgig in a news conference say they will likely have to seek funding from Congress (aka taxpayer dollars) to replace the bridge. I call BS on that, they can use some of that $1.2 trillion they just got a couple of years ago: "The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), aka Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), was signed into law by President Biden on November 15, 2021. The law authorizes $1.2 trillion for transportation and infrastructure spending with $550 billion of that figure going toward "new" investments and programs."

At some point I discovered I would sleep better without it so I quit using it. I had lost some weight and my Doctor said that can actually cure sleep apnea. I did quit with my Doctor’s approval.

Quite a valid point. FIx it and sue the at fault. Should be a slam dunk with the history of that ship. My thinking is the fed dollars will never be returned, prices will increase due to using other ports, the shippers and ports will make a profitt and any money recouped from the ship owners will be diverted to the companies who take a "loss" over the whole mess. In essence, we will pay twice to rebuild. Also, I'm totally untrusting of anything coming out of Joe's mouth.

I guess you could say, the problem with Common Sense Gun Laws is that the people pushing them don't have much common sense.

Surely the wisdom of our legislators managed to not include bridge building in that bill....just sayin'. n:

I own 3 "older model" GT knives that are absolutely wonderful tools. These are just too nice for me to use.

Thinking to engrave this on my AR lower on a simple build Im working on to get back into shooting at the range. Thoughts? Size? Position? Black out the engraving when done or leave the aluminum to shine? I have added some nickel plated parts here n there,

I just picked up this Springfield Armory SOCOM 16 at my FFL I made a trade deal for it off another forum I belong to. I'm thinking of a new project just got to figure out what. I am going to get a wood stock for it, I just prefer them to the "plastic" ones. Here's one pic I took after I got it home it came with the orginal Box, web Sling all the paperwork, some manuals, and one 10rnd. mag and three 20rnd mags. I'll post some more once I figure out what I want to do.

Very good condition S&W Model 10-7 tapered barrel revolver. Unfortunately no box or docs. Just the revolver as shown. Manufactured in 1977. I picked this up a while back, shot it, cleaned it and put it up. Now looking to sell to replenish my gun fund! Slight wear at the muzzle from holstering otherwise it's perfect! Shoots great! $575 cash or $600 for those who like to negotiate! Spring Hill area or close by please. No Shipping.

I have a cpap machine that I don’t use anymore. It’s in very nice shape. If anyone has a need for, it’s your’s.

Good Morning all! I have an unfired Romanian WASR-10 AK-47 with one magazine and 1000rds of Wolf Steelcase ammo. **Sold Pending Funds**

I thought the 2nd Amendment was the common sense gun law.

If we stopped all the foreign funding and aid, maybe we could have nice things for ourselves too. Like good roads and infrastructure. I know Europe’s real proud of that universal healthcare subsidized by American taxpayers in the form of NATO security guarantees.

You’re right, prices are gonna shoot up. Instead of sending all this money to Ukraine, maybe we could spend it on our own border security and infrastructures. Just saying…

1. I wish for you the best and rapid recovery. 2. Any attempt to "re-make" a movie with Sam Elliott in it is destined to fall short.

Thanks @Links2k. I've got the "3 Body Problem" in my que. I am thoroughly enjoying "Shogun" on Hulu. I remember the original series on TV and read the book a very long time ago. I'm impatient by nature so waiting for weekly episodes to drop is not my favorite thing... but the series is developing well. I like old cheesy action movies... like the original "Road House" with Patrick Swayze , Sam Elliot, and Ben Gazzara (1989). But then I think "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard" are excellent Christmas movies The "Road House 2024" on Netflix is an abomination! Blasphemy! and I can't get that part of my life back... ETA: I stuck for the next 4-5 weeks on a walker/rollator and ortho boot according to my surgeon yesterday...LIMITED weight bearing hoping the tendons attach properly...so please keep recommendations coming in please.

I was raised in Baltimore and used to fish the pylons of that bridge from Dad's boat as a child. I shed a tear or two when I first saw the footage. I just happen to be headed tomorrow to visit the parents, the last leg of the trip being on 695. Yay... Pray for me as I will be on two wheels. Jay

CMP 1911 CMP1911 luckily got a matching Remington Rand rack grade.

Yep. I wonder how much prices in general are going to go up now due to this new hitch in the supply chain. I’m being a bit facetious, but also serious. Where do the boats with European ammo shipments land? Hope it’s not around there.

Just my opinion, I know it stinks paying for a service without a guaranteed result. So far you’re out $400 rough math, call it a 1$ a day. What’s the price that you’re willing to walk away and have a potentially subpar sleep. If someone said that I could sleep better and it would cost me $1800 a year I’d pay $5 a day to spend a third of my day actually rested and wake up ready to seize the day and in my best mental head space. I know sleep apnea is a pain but if you can extend life and quality of sleep I hope it’s worthwhile and helps.

See, what you want to do is have a solid argument. And if you don't have a solid argument, you want to attack your opponent. In this scenario, since you can't support your ideas with facts and logic, you tell your opponent that since they don't agree with you, it is automatic that they have no common sense. Don't fall for the BS.

It is slang for chipping away at the 2nd as much as the leftest commies can.

It means gun control that only restricts the freedom of law abiding citizens. Typically they want every legal gun sale to go through a FFL (and a national registry and tracking system for all firearms), ban any magazines that can be easily detached and/or hold more than 10 rounds, severe restrictions on where/when you can legally carry a firearm, registration and qualification to own a firearm, ban assault weapons (which of course are just semi automatics with cosmetic features that scare ignorant people), take away firearms from any person they think might be dangerous, and other such things. None of these things will prevent criminals from committing violent crimes like assault or murder which are already against the law anyway. I call them nonsense gun laws as opposed to common sense.

I’m also enjoying “Shogun”. Rest up and get well soon.

I'll take #2. I think this is number 4 or 5 for me. PM inbound.

You didn't mention what kind of area you want. Urban, rural, suburbs, or something else? Do you have school-age kids, need access to certain facilities, want to see sports, etc? If you want to live in a city, Knoxville is probably as good as it gets in TN. Nashville and Memphis are solidly liberal-run cities, with Chattanooga being surprisingly liberal. Suburban areas around any city are usually solidly conservative. When my wife and I moved up from Atlanta-area 16 years ago, we actually got up early in the morning so we could drive into Nashville so we could see what commuting to work would be like. At the time, that sold us on Wilson County versus other areas. Do your homework and you can avoid a lot of problems. And there IS a cure for Commifornia influence: teach people about actions and consequences! All government programs are some form of vote-buying to get support from one group at the expense of the general public.

I like the Marlins the Best Well made with Classic Styles I have a 39A Mountie & an 1894 22 WMR 22 magnum i love

Excellent GT

I just finished the first season of “3 Body Problem” on Netflix. It’s a very good sci-fi series. I can’t wait for season 2. I love asking questions and discovering or having answers explained, so the pace of the series was fine for me. My wife also ask a lot of questions, but she wants immediate answers, so it was a hard no for her.

^ Great deal. I jumped on brass S&B that was loaded to 10mm spec at $.40CPR a good bit ago. Wouldn’t hesitate to do it again shipped and tax free. Anyone who wants to stash 10mm for handguns I’d move on this.

My first question is WHY don't you use it anymore. I'm hoping because you got a better one or some alternative vs simply "I quit using it". Sorry/Not sorry about the health challenge, but I couldn't imagine being without mine. Total game changer.

For the record here, the Francis Scott Key bridge is a part of the federal interstate highway system (I-695). It is also a primary conduit of truck traffic through the area and the designated route for hazmat cargo through Baltimore. this will have a significant impact on commerce and logistics, both by land and sea for quite a while until the bridge has been rebuilt.

It’s also gonna have a major impact on trucking (especially hazmat transportation) along the east coast. This is a big deal.

Agreed, one can just throw back the ones you don't won't to keep, they won't cause problems at home by calling you or showing up at the wrong time to create an embarrassing, possibly very expensive situation either. They don't complain and harass you whether you keep them or throw them back, and are just as "fickle" as a female hooman. LOL

Because we have to send BILLIONS, hell TRILLIONS over seas to people that want to kill us!
