One part of TripleGGG is gone but will never be forgotten. The best dog I've ever had. 09-26-2024 Ginger was more than just a pet—she was family. She was the kind of dog whose wagging nub of a tail could light up the darkest days and whose presence brought warmth to every corner of our lives. From the first day she bounded into our hearts, Ginger was a source of unconditional love. She had that playful spirit, always ready for an adventure, but also knew when to sit quietly by your side, offering comfort in her quiet, gentle way. Her eyes spoke volumes—filled with kindness, loyalty, and the unspoken understanding that only a true friend could offer. Whether she was chasing after her toy frogs or curling up next to us after a long day, Ginger was always there. She had a way of knowing when we needed her the most, as if she could sense the moments when a wag, a lick, or a nudge of her nose could make everything just a little bit better. It's hard to sum up the depth of what she gave us—so many days filled with laughter, so many nights with her soft fur beneath our hands as we rested together. Ginger’s love was pure, without hesitation or condition. She taught us the true meaning of loyalty, of joy in the simple things, and of being present for the ones we love. Though she's no longer physically with us, Ginger's spirit will forever be part of our lives. We'll see her in the quiet moments of peace, in the familiar places she loved, and in the countless memories she’s left behind. Ginger may have had four paws and a wagging nub of a tail, but she had the heart of a giant. She taught us about love, patience, and living each day with a sense of adventure. And for that, we will be forever grateful. Rest easy, sweet Ginger. You were the best, and you will never be forgotten. Your paw prints are forever on our hearts.

I’m wanting the Python Combat Elite so I’m selling this. Been in safe the whole time. Trades are a possibility especially if you have the above mentioned Python. $1400 no tax, background, etc. More photos available that I can text to you. Must be legal to own.

Ginger awaits for you at the Rain Bow Bridge. RIP Ginger

I never saw top quality customer service before, so unless they are completely changing owners and staff, doubt that changes.

Sold Sig 1911 Nightmare Carry 4.25". Three mags, couple of holsters, about 50 rounds of carry ammo, original box. These are discontinued and getting harder to find. Shot less than 100 times. $950 Whitwell, TN

https://www.smithandwessonforums.com/threads/why-do-some-model-60-no-dash-and-60-1s-have-no-pinned-barrel.235522/ seems it is possible that some weren’t.

I use a Timbuk2 too.... as a 'carrying extra crap on the bikes/grocery run' bag & I'm so impressed with the quality it's not even funny. Don't laugh, but check out the used clothes site; Poshmark. I bought mine on there for less than pennies on the dollar. I think it was about $8 plus the shipping. It's maybe a bit big for edc use unless you literally carry a watermelon around every day, but they make smaller versions too. I actually just picked up a very similar, same quality, smaller sized bag at a yardsale last week for a buck. I can't for the life of me remember what it is. I'll snag some details after work.

I hear they do make killer comm devises.

I really like the fact that the fishing specific sling bags have a smaller 3-point strap that really locks things in when you’re moving - but unclip it and you can bring the whole rig around to your chest to get at whatever you need without taking the whole bag off. I think you don’t really realize how useful it is until you use it. I think some of the “tactical” bags miss on both of these points. They’re a marginally smaller bag with one strap. When you load them down they bounce around and are uncomfortable. And, you have to take them off to get at your stuff. They’re great for a “grab it quick and go” type bag - but they’re definitely limited.

Another sling bag fan here. I prefer them over backpacks. I learned this at the NRA conventions. I can spin the sling bag around front to add/remove things easily w/out taking it off.

Like new Dan Wesson Guardian 9mm. Comes with case and two mags. Two sets of grips Beautiful gun. $1250 Can meet in Franklin or Erin SOLD

My guess is what was eluded to before. You wanted something "new" and the platform is not new to you. I'm sure when I finally bring home that 45-70 Marlin I'll have the same feeling except my shoulder will be hurting. It's the day after Christmas letdown, the vacation is over exhaustion. Let it ride for a while, try it in the woods and see if you like using it.

Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM II (discontinued in name only) set up in a Tanker configuration before their Tanker existed, including NM trigger pack and op-rod. Also comes with over 10 mags fully loaded (I think it's actually 13 total), mil-surp cleaning kit, Sadlak oversized mag release paddle, sling, wooden stock, synthetic black stock, and an UpLula mag loader. Very accurate, handy rifle. One of my favorites. $2700. Not interested in trades. I hate to let this one go but I have not had a good year job-wise and I never shoot it. Call/Text 615-300-3074 or send me a DM.

For sale only. No trades. StG-58 kit on an Imbel Gear Logo receiver. Arguably the best ever FAL configuration you could ask for. Low round count; I had it assembled and Duracoted in 2012 and have maybe put 2,000 rounds through it in its lifetime. I had a trigger job done to it by Rocky at Franklin Gun Shop, reducing the trigger pull weight down to ~6 lbs. Comes with tons of stuff: Currently sporting a NIB Trijicon Accupower 1-8 MIL reticle red illuminated 34mm scope (not pictured); 2 Burris PEPR mounts, one QD and one standard; 10 mags, fully-loaded; Optional inch pattern flash hider, selector, charging handle, mag and bolt releases, if you want to swap them out. Manual and little tools for adjusting the gas system, , removing the stock, cleaning, etc. 3-point sling This was my first battle rifle and, while I love it, I never shoot it anymore. I always preferred this over the M1As but I'm at the phase of life where I no longer want to collect; I want to pare down my arsenal to the weapons I use and train with. Unfortunately, for functional purposes, the SCAR-17 has replaced my pride and joy here, the StG-58, as my go-to MBR. But there's no beating "the right arm of the free world" as far as style and consistency. I never had a jam or cycling issue with this glorious gun. Ol' "Mathilda" has been solid bottom b*tch for over 12 years now. $3800 for the whole package. Not interested in parting out. Call/Text 615-300-3074 or send me a DM through here.

Mods please remove if this content isn't allowed. As the title states. A hacker, or a group of hackers, has allegedly breached TexasGunTrader.com earlier this week and has managed to get emails and passwords to all 250,000+ members and is trying to pawn it of to whomever wishes to buy the information. According to some comments on this post states that if you click "forgot password," instead of an email with a link to reset it in your browser, it simply states your password so you can punch it in when you try to log back in. How this information is relevant to us is that as we are a firearm related forum just like TexasGunTrader — and we are just as subject to breaches despite the admin teams' best efforts to keep this place locked down and secure. Now, I don't know how things are run here administration wise, but this is a great example as to never duplicate your password across multiple logins for various websites. If your password for this site is also used for your facebook, mobile banking, etc, etc. I would highly suggest you changing it to something unique and definitely no where close to your previous password. As I have previously stated, we are a forum that practices and supports our second amendment rights. We are very much subject to attacks by groups of individuals who do not uphold or respect these values, and I'm sure the admin team is willing and doing everything they can to keep this place as secure as possible.

Very sorry Greg. Losing them is so hard.

Damn. I respect animals considerably more than humans. The death of a dog or cat hits me much harder than a human family member, but I've never lost a Wife or child. I'm sorry for your loss.

I have had the extreme honoring of meeting Ginger. I know she loved her "Daddy". My most sincere condolences. Words simply cannot express my feelings. You have an awesome little angel on your shoulder my friend. God Bless. RIP Ginger. Prayers sent today and always.

@Garufa From 82 - 88 I believe they had the unpinned barrel.

Works flawlessly, slight cosmetic salt, Manufactured in 2018. P/N 9002 (Tan D2) is discontinued by Steiner. Get it while you can. No Trades.

Sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your loss man. We had to part with one of our family a couple of weeks ago. It's devastating. There's nothing better than a really great dog.

Sir, I do believe no-dash Model 60’s have a pinned barrel. Edit: But there are also ones that don't!

Sorry to hear about Ginger Think about the joy she brought your family

It's losing a family member and it hurts. RIP Ginger

RIP Ginger

Well said, sir. RIP Ginger.

I had Zeroed Ammunition in mind after reading the first post. A friend shoots a lot of their ammo in USPSA matches. They make good stuff. If I got sick of reloading, I would use their ammo.

Hey boss I'm not seeing you message in my inbox.

It's a good sized blade and does fit the hand very well.

One 45-70 is plenty IMHO. After acquiring the modern Marlin holy trinity (Dark Series, SBL, Trapper), they are still BNIB and I only really care about my case hardened Henry and occasionally the BFR. Circling back to the OP's original thoughts, there is definitely a fat dopamine hit buying all the stuff that tapers off real quick for most. Also the idea of the firearm and/or firearm project has a bit of mileage but once the acquisition/project is done, the conclusion is kind of empty. Coming from a guy that has 42069 unfinished firearm projects and no real interest in completing any of them, I have more thoughts than I do answers.

I'm sure it will be oiled and wiped down more than shot. My spine and torn rotator won't allow me to put too many rounds down range. BTW, I also want a 350 legend as well as a 458 SOCOM. Something about them tugs on my "need" center.

Also, FWIW - the sling bag is kind of a specialized bag with a few applications that it really excels at. Fishing is one of those. They're big enough to hold gear to compliment fishing in the backcountry - and yet stay comfortable all day long. Don't sleep on the sling packs made by Simms, Orvis, and FishPond. I've run all three. I like all of them because they're big enough without being overwhelming - and they'll hold a water bottle too. Since you're in middle TN - I expect you could go down to FlySouth and put your hands on examples of all of them.

No, I bought firearms to shoot and then put up in the rack. Every few months I’ll get one down that I have not shot in a while and just go out shoot it make sure it’s sighted in well and enjoy it. I have never sold a firearm. No I take that back. I screwed up and sold a Dan Wesson pistol Pack in 357 with four barrels, yeah, I’m a dumb ass. Just put it away, save your pennies and buy another one.

I’ve carried a Timbuk2 messenger bag as my daily bag for 18 years and it still is as good as new. They make a great product.

Pagers?

Oh yeah. There’s nothing wrong with saying that a gun just doesn’t do it for you like you thought it would. Don’t get caught in a sunk cost fallacy and spend more money trying to make it be something it never will be. It’s better to cut your losses sell what you don’t need to recoup what you can and go in a different direction.

Looking forward to it! It'd be nice to see stamped on the side of a Jericho 941 saying "IWI US, Andersonville TN." Love to buy products that have our lovely state stamped on there in one form or another... excluding the touristy Nashville stuff.

Man. I'm not much of a bike guy (yet), but I'm looking very forward to the finished look! I also loved the one you finished in June.

Interested in one myself

My granddad taught me how to respect and build fires since I was big enough to walk. I swear I believe he could have built fire from water. Lol. Seriously though, he taught me so many different ways. He was a very self reliant man. Man I wish cell phones were around back then so I could have taken videos.
