Up for sale is an Israeli contract CZ75 compact. These variants are unique in that they are the only known production of alloy frames with a safety. The commercial peer would be the CZ 75 PCR which has the alloy frame but configured with a decocker. Being an import pistol I've baselined it to - Sights have been replaced with Dawson Precision sights (Tritium front and black rear) - new springs from Cajun Gunworks - Came with two 10 round mags and I've added a 15 round mecgar (OEM). - Replaced plastic grips with current production rubber grips (original included). - Also included is a JM Custom Kydex IWB holster ($80) Excellent little shooter and great addition to the CZ collector. $550 for the package, Middle TN area.

I have a lot of trigger time with dots over the past few years with four different platforms (Glock/2011/Walther/CZ75). I have found that they offer two advantages: they are better/faster/easier at distance (20+yards) and they can be handy in some low-light situations. At typical handgun fighting distances, they offer no advantage and I think I am quicker with irons inside 10 yards, but I don't subscribe to the you-must-focus-on-the-front-sight train of thought.

Like new Canik TP9 Elite SC. Great ergonomic shooter and perfect for conceal carry. Shot about ~40 rounds through it before deciding it wasn't for me and opted for something smaller. Comes with three 12 round flush fit magazines with pinky rest, one 15 round extended mag, and all of the typical goodies a Canik ships with. Put $486 into it. My loss is your gain. Will also throw a box of CCI Blazer brass 115gr with purchase. Located in Fairview. Asking $380. Must be a resident of Tennessee, 21 years of age or older, eligible of purchasing a handgun, and able to sign a bill of sale. Would consider trading for the following: Tisas 1911 B9 Carry or Duty (single stack) 9mm M&P 2.0 full size 9mm, CZ P-10C 9mm (OR preferred) Savage Axis 2 XP (.223, .308)

The best place to learn all the details about this year's match is on the Facebook Event Page at https://www.facebook.com/events/1073318947348868 but I totally get that we have several people who (rightly) hate Facebook, so I'll repost what I think are the important points here for non-FBers. Don't be shy if you have questions or if I've left anything out. Intro: The 2024 Legion Memorial Run N Gun is a centerfire biathlon – competitors will complete a 5k-ish or 10k-ish wilderness trail run combined with a shooting competition. The event is a test of man and equipment alike. It is intended to give participants an idea of how being hot, cold, exhausted, and challenged by the environment affects their shooting, and to test the effectiveness of their gear under field conditions. This event is not intended for inexperienced shooters – all participants are expected to be familiar with the operation of their firearms, and to observe basic principles of firearm safety at all times. With the exception of emergencies, Range Officers (ROs) are not allowed to help participants in any way. Good attitudes are a must. If you are the type of person who gets upset when minor changes are made to a plan or when you don’t always get your way, this is not the event for you. Basics: Participants will receive both a score for their run based on how long it took them to complete the course, and a score for their shooting based on how long it took them to clear each course of fire. The run score and shooting score will be equally weighted in determining the participant’s final score. This is true run-what-you-brung field-style shooting. For the most part, if you want to carry it for 5 or 10 clicks, be our guest. There are two equipment classes to reflect the different ways Green Berets fight: “Lightfighter” in which you can carry whatever you want, but are limited to one pistol and one rifle; or “Operator” in which you must FINISH the race with a pack weighing at least 45 lbs (not including your main rifle, pistol, and belt/chest rig) – but that pack may (and should) contain ANYTHING that can give you an advantage. The only limit is that pistol targets must be engaged with pistol rounds, and rifle targets must be engaged with rifle rounds. Want to carry a PCC? Be our guest. Think a scoped bolt gun or different upper in 6.5 Creedmore will give you an advantage? Go for it. You can even carry a shotgun to engage steel pistol targets if you want (birdshot only). Any weapons carried must be IN ADDITION to a primary rifle and pistol, and weight of the pack MAY include the weight of armor plates if you want to either wear or carry them in the pack. Packs may be removed prior to shooting, as that is how 5th Group would generally do it as well – but this will be done on your run time and BEFORE any wait time starts. Shooters are expected to have all their firearms sighted in and all their gear ready to go on the morning of the shoot. There will be no zeroing at the event. Think of this as a test of how you and your equipment would perform in a Second Amendment situation if you had to go take care of business at your current state of readiness, whatever that is. Run order will be more or less random. We will try to be accommodating to participants who wish to share firearms or equipment (we can have one person run in the morning and the other in the afternoon), or to partners who wish to run together. Due to issues with back-ups and large groups in the past, only two runners can start together. Equipment: The only equipment that is strictly required to participate is a safe center fire rifle, a safe center fire pistol, enough ammo to clear the course (at least twice the minimum required hit count is recommended), eye protection, ear protection, and some form of stopwatch. Rifle targets must be engaged with rifle rounds (no larger than 30-06), and pistol targets must be engaged with pistol rounds. In everything but the “Operator” class, competitors must carry one rifle and one pistol. Everything else is up to the participant. Shooters may use any type of gear they want to carry their equipment with, the only requirement being that pistols must be carried in a secure holster that covers the trigger if they are to be carried loaded. Rifles may be carried any way you like, as long as they remain pointed in a safe direction. You may not use tracers or armor piercing bullets that have a hardened penetrator core, as we will be using lots of steel targets that we don’t want to see damaged. To be safe – if your bullet attracts a magnet or has a green tip, leave it at home. Rules: First and foremost, all participants will be expected to comply with basic firearms safety at all times. If you demonstrate inability or unwillingness to follow basic firearm safety, you will be asked to leave, with no refund and no apology. Muzzles must be pointed in a safe direction at all times, and fingers must be off the trigger unless the firearm is pointed at a target. Long guns shall only be loaded when a shooter is at a rifle stage, after the RO has given the “fire” command. Shooters may leave their handguns loaded at all times if in a secure holster. However, loaded handguns must remain in that holster unless the shooter has been given the “fire” command on a shooting stage. Some stages will be active, involving moving and shooting. Firearms may remain loaded during movement, but strict muzzle discipline must be maintained. Shooters will be disqualified (DQ’d) and not allowed to finish the course for the following violations: having a loaded rifle anywhere EXCEPT on a shooting stage after the “beep”, dropping a loaded pistol, pointing a loaded weapon at someone, or having a Negligent Discharge (ND). It is solely the judgement of my Staff that I trust if these should occur, and if you argue with an RO you will lose. Procedures: When a shooter approaches a station, he will be required to show the RO an empty mag well and empty chamber on his long gun(s). If another shooter is currently on the stage when he arrives, the one who just arrived will be instructed by the RO to start his stopwatch to keep track of his wait time (this will be subtracted off the participant’s run time when his run score is calculated). It is purely the shooter’s responsibility to keep track of his wait time. The ROs have no responsibility whatsoever to help you do this. Even if an RO offers to help you keep track of your time, you have no one but yourself to blame if this is not done. When the shooter is ready to shoot the stage, the RO will record his wait time if any. The shooter will be given a quick summary of the course of fire. The RO will ask if the shooter understands the course of fire. If the answer is yes, the shooter will be given the “fire” command, at which time he may load his rifle and/or draw his pistol and begin shooting the stage. All stages will have a zone where the shooter must fire from -- either a particular hole in a barricade that you must shoot through, or a marked zone on the ground, in which every part of your body or equipment which touches the ground must remain inside of when you fire. Hits made from outside the designated area will not count toward completion of the course of fire. Every shooting stage will have a 3 minute time limit. This is to keep the runners moving and to prevent large backups of shooters waiting to shoot a stage. At the end of that 3 minute period, the shooter will be stopped and time penalties applied to their score for any target not fully neutralized as per the course of fire requirements. If for any reason the “cease fire” command is given, you will immediately cease fire, holster your handgun, and unload your rifle. You will do likewise when you complete a stage, or time out. The RO should tell you your time for the stage. The RO will record your time on their iPad. You may want to carry a pen and notepad to keep track of your score in there is a mix-up with the scoring. Every shooter must show the RO an empty mag well and chamber on his rifle before leaving each stage. The RO will give directions on where to go to continue down the trail. Shooters are NOT required to leave their rifle’s bolt open during the run… this is actually discouraged, as it will allow lots of that beautiful Tennessee red clay to accumulate inside the action. There will be ample opportunity for this to happen on the course. The Run: The path for participants to follow will be marked with brightly colored flags and/or tape. Shooters must stay close to the marked path. Do not cut corners. Failure to follow the marked trail may take you into the impact area of a hot range!!! If the trail takes you through some difficult terrain, this is on purpose! Parts of the trail may be down a road. Keep to the left edge of the road and watch for traffic. Your Fitness: This event is in a remote area, and you need to be aware of over-exertion. We should have some folks with medical skills on hand, but your health is your responsibility. If you start having problems, slow down... drink some water... listen to your body! There is no shame in walking the course; know yourself and your limitations. Accommodations: Dead Zero Shooting Park is in a remote area south of Spencer, TN, so lodging may be challenging. Primitive camping will be allowed on-site for $10/night. Call Dead Zero at 423-800-7758 to make a reservation to camp. A Hotel/Lodge, Cabins and campgrounds with full hookups are available at Fall Creek Falls State Park about 15 miles away, but this is a popular weekend there so most of these sites are booked well in advance. The city of Dunlap is less than 20 miles to the south and has a couple hotels, restaurants, and a Walmart. The cities of Chattanooga and Cookeville are within about 40 miles and have all sorts of nicer options for food and lodging. There will be people on site all day Friday, as the ROs will be running the course. Registration for the day matches open at 6:30 a.m. and closes at 7:30 a.m on the morning of the match. The safety briefing begins at 7:30 a.m. Anyone who does not get signed in by 7:30 will not be allowed to participate, so be on time. The first runner will be sent out at 8:00 a.m., and another runner will be sent out in a uniform interval thereafter. The ROs will have run the course the day before. They will be scored along with all the other contestants. After the last runner has crossed the finish line, we will calculate the results. The winners will be announced, and trophies and prizes will be awarded as 5th Group sees fit. How to Sign Up: The registration fee for the Legion Memorial Run N Gun is $175 for the 5k (Saturday) or $225 for the 10k (Sunday) - which includes a match t-shirt. Registration will be limited in number so all runners can finish the course before dark. Registration will be handled through Practiscore, Dead Zero will have you sign a waiver the morning of the match, and we will collect full payment (CASH or CHECK ONLY – NO CREDIT/DEBIT CARDS WILL BE ACCEPTED AND THERE IS NO ATM ONSITE - Edit: payment may be online, we're currently investigating this) the morning of the match. Make sure you are familiar with all of our rules and procedures before signing up. All participants must register under their true names. Tickets are non-transferable. Pre-registration is mandatory, and no walk-ons will be allowed on match day as space and time is limited. Several discounted slots are being held for active-duty 5th Group personnel. If you are 5th Group, please email mstennett@twlakes.net to confirm your status and claim your reduced competitor slot. All proceeds from the match will go the Special Forces Association, Chapter 38. Learn more about them here: http://sfa38.org/ Cancellation Policy: Please cancel your registration through Practiscore as soon as you know you can’t come. We always have several people on the waitlist, and if you don’t cancel early enough not only can they not get in, but the Special Forces Association won’t max out the contribution we can make to them. DON’T BE THAT GUY who just decides not to show up and doesn’t tell anyone. Directions: The start and finish line are both located near the Pro Shop at Dead Zero Shooting Park, 1195 TN-111 Scenic, Spencer, TN 38585. Chattanooga, TN has a small airport and is less than an hour’s drive from Dead Zero. Nashville International Airport is a little under two hours’ drive. Pictures by Lisa & Ansley Stennett

New in box Stevens 320 Shotgun with ghost ring sights. 18.5" barrel. Won as a table gun at an event and I already have something similar. Would like to trade a couple of these for an SKS, trade one and some cash for one or sell for $200 each. Thinning of the pistol collection is coming later. I am located in the Hendersonville area. You must be able to legally own this firearm and provide a valid TN driver's license.

Gone

It is for sale or trade. $1000 cash firm. Must be legal to own and be a Tn. Resident. Text is fastest and best. 615-504-1491 Trade interests are lever actions, colts, high end revolvers, sigs, and smiths.

sold...........

Unfired Colt Delta Elite 10mm. priced dropped to $1000. Sold PPU Can meet in Franklin or Erin

Price reduced to $1,250.00 firm to hopefully move locally and not have to deal with a gunbroker sale. Could use some funds! I purchased this gun a few years ago on gunbroker (you may remember about my gamble on the cheapest citori on gunbroker). Well the gamble paid off, and the gun is very nice but per the usual it is collecting dust. I was going to throw it back on gunbroker for a $1.00 bid auction but don't want to jump through the hoops to get the account eligable to sell again. I figure I will post it up here and see if I can't get lucky with a local sale. This turns out to be a 1978 Browning Citori Field 12G O/U, it has the model code J53 which from what I researched means that it is a standard field but was originally part of a large lot of guns sold to a type of supermarket chain or hardware store chain (i.e. Sears gets a model code J53 for their store resell guns). The gun has a top barrel that is modified and a bottom barrel that is improved cylinder, both barrels are clean as a whistle. The action is smooth and firm but not tight, really feals like it is just worn in right, my new Citori is still tight and it is much harder on a day of shooting, though I'm hoping to use it more with one less shotgun and get it loosened up. I also was able to aquire this case from another member on here in a trade. I believe I traded a PMR 30 for the case and some cash if my memory serves. This case is an older Browning Superposed case according to the member I traded for. I tried to use it for my new Citori CX White but with the 30" barrels, and external chokes, it doesn't fit. With internal chokes it barely fits, so I figure this case is a much better match for the correct era citori instead and have packaged them together. More info and pictures on next comment on this thread below

Been a while added many more cool pieces sl7, hk 91, a cohaire in .40cal uses mp5 40 cal mags. (Not easy or cheap to find )

.

I should clarify, I called Cajun as it's a unique model. Said, "I want to ensure its to OEM and safe standard". It does not have their pro package or anything like that, Just whatever weight springs that would be the OEM standard for this pistol, if I recall it uses 75 B compact spring weights. I believe it was a hammer mainspring, recoil spring, extractor spring, and a firing pin spring. Any surplus or trade in pistols get all new springs.

I'll take all.

One thing ya might want ta do is to look at the shotgun forums to pinpoint the most reliable makers. Lotsa these shotgun guys put a bunch of rounds thru these guns and have a pretty good handle on the reliable brands. Havin said all that; I'm partial to the " American " makers. It's mostly a nostalgia n history thing for me. Ya can buy pump guns for a reasonable price for the most part, but the semi autos are a bit more pricey, and that's the lure of the Turkish guns. I'ma thinkin ya can find aftermarket handguards for Mossberg n Remington 870s pretty easily... Ya might want ta " home build " ya a trench. I find myself likin the old riots the most. There are several in our safe; all old timers.. Hope this helps ... leroy...

This is now closed, look at the 1st post in this thread if your name is on there you have a knife coming

Variant#1 I think, at any rate standard sa/da. It comes as from factory with two 15 round magazines. I have the box wrist band, paperwork etc. It is brand new unfired.

It was aliens.

These are amazingly comfortable!

I've never heard of this this guy until today, but I have two questions. 1) What is an "encrypted oversea bank account"? All banks use encryption in some form or fashion, does that make your bank account an encrypted bank account? 2) If 4.5 million dollars were involved, right not at least front him the money for a high caliber rifle with a scope?

The Turkish guns are really nice, and terrible. They are all over the place. I own half a dozen, just to understand what they are, and I've sold a few hundred through my shop. We very, very seldom get any in for gunsmithing work, which tells me that generally they hold up well for the kind of shooters who buy them - mostly, they sit in the safe. I have a Benelli clone that shoots birds lights out, **gorgeous** wood, and great finish quality. And the adjustable cheek rest screws are made of literal pot metal, so if you tighten the wobble out of it, they strip out and they are unfixable. No spares available. I'm a gunsmith, so it's an excuse to tinker, but it was a lot of work - the way they engineered it (badly), anything straightforward that I did would either split the wood, or be unsightly. So I installed inlays and undercut the cheek piece to make a stronger mounting bar. Extremely tedious, time consuming work. It would have been several hundred dollars for a customer. I have a Turkish double barrel Over/Under that is, again, excellent in fit and finish, build quality, and materials. No issues there; they have been building them for over 100 years, so they know what they are doing there and there are no fiddly bits to confuse their engineers. However, it has the most obnoxiously deep, rough dot-pixel serialization and make/model markings in triple-oversize blind Braille lettering that makes the barrel completely fugly to look at and skin-churning to touch. They are hit and miss. Their plastic modern shotguns are cheap, fun, and dependable. When they break, you can't get spares, so throw them away. Good loaner/ranch vehicle guns. Or buy one of the pretty ones, like I did, and be prepared to invest a lot of time making it right. Doc

Welcome. Was glad to switch my license and plates the first week we were here. I'm trying to be a good Southerner now. I even complain about the damn Yankees.

Bump

Defender, if I have distance, I plan going the other way, IF POSSIBLE.

.357 Snake gun. New in box. Looking to sell to fund another project. Let me know if you have questions. $900

I've been planning to build a nice deer blind with plenty of room for my son and I but with the cost of materials being so high, I haven't made it a priority. Our church recently replaced it's steeple due to structural issues and I was able to grab the fiberglass base from it. It should make an excellent blind and should really only need some paint, a few hinges and latches, and a piece of plexiglass for the windows. I will have to put something on top to seal the hole as well but that's not a big deal. It's 6*6 so it should be plenty of room for us.

I also have the DeSantis Nemesis and the Superfly version with the extra flap for less printing, makes it look like a wallet in your pocket. The Superfly is my favorite pocket holster but I like both.

The best 2 that I ever tried: Blackhawk TecGrip because it's so thin yet padded the Sticky Holster Modified because it works for red dots and lights

With my eyes I'm a big fan of optics for any kind of distance. I use a lupold scope on my S&W .357 for white tail, a green dot on my Glock 40 for hogs. But for EDC if I'm far enough away to need optics, I'm planning on running!

I haven't milled a gun yet, but one less failure point is good. I always use thread locker on clean components and can read torque specs as well as anybody, but I have had several issues on different guns with dots or plates not staying put. A visible iron sight picture in the very bottom of the dot window is ok, but putting it higher where it is nearly on the same plane as the dot sight picture is idiotic. I don't get why people do this - it's a huge distraction. I also remove the fiber optic pipe on the front sight (if it's FO). it's just another distraction. Definitely. I see a lot of new or casual shooters getting advice that a dot will solve all their problems. Dots are handy, but require some regular dry fire or live fire to maintain a needed index that isn't as critical with iron sights. This gets exacerbated when the user carries a J-frame on Tuesday, a Glock on Thursday, and a 1911 on Saturday. It really gets ugly when the casual shooter tries to shoot quickly with one hand. Dots are not always as beneficial as advertised. Somebody who doesn't want to practice occasionally may be better off with irons if some fast combat accuracy is suddenly necessary.

I put one on one on a .22 pistol and I still struggle finding the dot, but it's 100% my fault for lack of practice. It is MUCH easier for follow-up shots, but I pocket-carry. I can't EDC one unless I go back to belt holsters.

Glad to hear your comment on MecGar mags. Been thinking of some 9mm and looking at them for a source..

How much do you want to pay? $40 mags do the exact same thing that $10 surplus ones do. All of mine are Chip McCormick Shooting Stars or Mec-Gar. Right in the sweet spot of price so as not to be cheap, and not to be overly extravagant. Mec-Gars are OEM for many, many manufacturers these days.
