Thinning out a few of my deer guns. I picked this up a year ago because I thought I needed another .45-70. It has just sat in my safe and has never been shot. It comes with the large loop and threaded barrel. $1200

I know there’s gotta be some Andy Griffith Show fans around here. Has anyone ever noticed that the rifles in the gun rack of Sheriff’s Taylor’s office changed every show? I did years ago, but just now finished watching “The Loaded Goat” for the umpteenth time and the hardware changed in the middle of the show!

They have some videos up on their FB page - progressing but slow.

Actually surprised I hadn’t heard of this site until last week. I’m very familiar with GOC and Snipershide but just learned about this site. I see it’s set up a lot like the hide. I like it!

I’m surprised this is still here. I fear no one has disposable income anymore.

I've had one for a long time and it's one of my favorite things to shoot. Incredibly cheap fun to take to the range for experienced shooters and great for novices learning to shoot. bump cause somebody NEEDS this

I've been traveling for work a lot lately and it has given me some opportunities to see what works, what doesn't, what is important, and what isn't. My first observation is that I think the ideal backpack size for travel or commuting is between 20L and 26L. Depending on the length of my trip and the amount of clothing I have to take with me, I am pairing-up my backpack with a carry-on roller suitcase or a larger checked-back. The backpack itself is for my laptop, water bottle, medicines and toiletries I absolutely wouldn't want to be separated from, and sometimes a sweatshirt or light jacket. Obviously, the bigger the bag, the less room you have for your feet under the airline seat in front of you. This matters more on longer flights. The bag I've been using most, lately, is my Mystery Ranch 2-Day bag. (Note: That's an affiliate link that helps TGO) The bad news is that there's nothing subtle about this bag and it's on the larger end of the spectrum. The good news, however, is that it is insanely versatile, very adjustable, extremely comfortable, and has proven to be quite rugged. Plus it does fit under the seat on Southwest Airlines. The three-way zipper closure on this and several of their Catalyst bags has turned out to be a feature I had no idea how much I'd appreciate until I tried it. Being able to either unzip the top flap for quick access to things, or split the bag wide open has been super convenient. I'm also fond of the two side pockets that will either tote 32oz water bottles or a bottle and umbrella with ease. You don't realize how important easy access to a water bottle is until you're parched, inside the TSA security gate, and ready to fill up at one of the filtered water stations. Having to sort through a bag of stuff just to get your water bottle is a huge pain. Another plus is that this bag has a flat bottom and does not tip over easily so long as you load it properly and keep the heavier items at the bottom of the bag. Having a bag that doesn't constantly flop over into the aisle while you're sitting at the airport gate is a small luxury. Of course it also plays well at the office. Whether or not this thing is perfect is yet to be seen. Other bags keep catching my eye, particularly those with a more slim, slick, or sleek external appearance, but I keep talking myself out of them because they lack things that I've come to really like about this Mystery Ranch 2-Day bag. The load-lifters at the top of this bag's shoulder straps where the meet the body of the bag itself really do make a big difference in comfort and adjustability. And the shoulder straps themselves are very well padded and have quick adjust buckles so that you can loosen it for easier on/off, and cinch it down fast once it's on. I am surprised at how few bags incorporate load lifters or have thin, flimsy shoulder straps without quick adjustment. I am also a fan of the fact that there are two additional deep pockets inside the bag that can either be used to stow things like travel umbrella, water bottles, coffee tumblers, etc. That's in addition to the two outside, so you can run it a little more slick by keeping things inside rather than outside the bag. Anyway... just thoughts from recent travels. This thread caught my eye because I keep looking at other bags coming up on Black Friday sales and just can't talk myself into any of them yet.

I was one of those people back in the 80’s.

Is it live, or is it Memorex?

Now that Republicans have control of all three branches, it would be the best time to push for this to pass. @Worriedman, is TFA and or GOA in any discussions to get this pushed through before we lose steam in this new administration?

UPDATE: Just had a very informative conversation with Smith and Wesson about this 629. Made in 2007. TALO Exclusive made for RSR group. There were 216 of these made before they started calling them the Trail Boss. Think I'll withdraw this for the time being. Smith and Wesson 629 3 inch ported. Bought this a couple years ago used from Guns.com. It's wearing a Hogue smooth grip. I do not have a box for this one, didn't come with one. It has the Mag-na-port style porting, but it's not marked as any kind of special edition like the Trail Boss. Someone told me that Smith was offering some kind of package deal at the time where the customer could pick the Mag-na-port option. I don't know. I don't have any way of knowing how many rounds are through it, but it has been a good shooter during the time I've had it. Shoots just fine with off the shelf .44 magnum ammo, but if you decide to roll some Underwood .44 hard cast through it, well, just grab ahold and hang on. EDIT: UPDATED PICTURES AND TRADES Opening up for interesting trades. Main trade interest is still a Ruger Super Blackhawk .44 magnum - Bisley grip and unfluted cylinder only. This would include the Lipseys and Hunter models. Also interested in 1911 Commanders in .45 (true 4.25 inch commander), CZ 9mm, Sig P series 9mm. Others considered, or even multiple gun trades, as long as it's something I can use. Sale/Trade value

Does anybody in Memphis have access to a person who would be willing to put their name on the line to be a named plaintiff in a suit against Memphis over the recent ballot measure? I need that person to NOT have a permit to be most effective. I will be signed on as my statue as West TN Director of the TFA gives me standing under 39-17-1314, but I need a plaintiff so that the courts can not dismiss due to lack of harm. Contact 731-217-0134.

Anything info you need?

Those videos give me a little hope! Some day, I hope to be out there on those ranges again!

Welcome to TGO. We camp in Crossville a lot for some long weekends getaways.

Oh thank goodness.

Bama has long received a little extra in their ratings because of their history. Of course they've fielded great teams for a very long time, but rightly or wrongly, their tradition carries some weight with the voters.

We really should change the title of this thread, LOL. I’ve been looking at bags online, I’m very hard to please. I sent my Vertx Commuter sling back. I see that Vertx has a new line called the Urban Ghost and I kinda like the 10L sling version but i am sure it will be too small. I also was looking at the Maxpedition Entity 16L sling as well. I think if they built a man bag store that had all the different bags to look at I’d be a happy camper! I don’t off body carry, I do carry extra full mags in my bag, and I have a Velcro holster attached in the conceal carry compartment, just in case, but I the other than making sure my gun fit and that I could deploy it reasonably fast, I don’t use it. I’m not giving up my essentials 10L bag for another 10L bag, what I’d like to have is a bag just like this but taller a tad. The Navigator isn’t any bugger, just laid out differently..does anyone on here in the Nashville area have a Maxpedition Entity16 that they would let me look at?

Still closed as of the other day.

We have had a security team for 10 or 12 years. We average 8 per service 4 teams so only serving once a month. The local DA recommended we hire a uniformed cop to protect everyone from lawsuits. I think the county charges 30 bucks a hour for a uniformed cop. Be careful about liability. The local DA should be able to give good advice on protecting yourself and your church. I have my TN armed guard so that helps with some protection, but having a cop there helps a lot. We do a LE appreciation day and invite all the LE and serve them dinner and proved gifts.

We are co litigants and John Harris is Council, I am a named plaintiff.

Law suit filed today! We are not playing. I am a named plaintiff so the game is on.

First guy did not meet criteria. He did not understand the issue. Need a person who carries without a state issued permit, Owns an AR or semi-auto rifle as well. (per their understanding even a 10-22 suffices, AR or AK is better). Person needs to be able to say they carry without the permit. Time is of the essence.

Speaking of pocket pistols.... I've had this little Beretta Tomcat in .32, for about 30 years. It is a nice and reliable pocket carry. I did "jazz it up" a bit by adding some new grips. Makes it a little more bulky.

Hey gang. Welcome back to TGO. There is a lot to cover in this post, so I am going to try to hit things in the order of most important or impacting, to least. Where is my TGO user account? If you created an account on TGO after August 17th you will most likely need to create your account again. We lost almost 30-days worth of data in this crash. What Happened To My Benefactor Account? A lot of my work today has been around connecting Benefactor memberships with those who purchased them. I was successful with most of them, but there are a few of you (less than 10) that I will be reaching out to in email so that we can work together to get you squared away. I am prioritizing this near the top of importance because you guys keep TGO afloat and I will take care of you. I posted something and now it's gone! Anything posted after August 17th is lost. I am very sorry. I suppose the good news is that if you posted something and regretted it, you now have a second chance. This part really sucks and I am absolutely not trying to down-play it. Trust me, however upset you are, I am infinitely more upset. I hope that you'll dive back in and recreate whatever we lost. What happened?!? This is the million dollar question. Our server suffered a catastrophic hardware failure that could not be recovered from. Thankfully we had backups, but I had to go back 30-days in time to find a backup that was viable. This problem had unfortunately been brewing for a while and I did not notice it in time. Prior to today (9/18/23) we were using a different web hosting company. We aren't using them now because I am greatly disappointed in their ability to assist and am livid over the outcome. The best and only way for me to respond was to move TGO to another hosting company who I believe will be much more responsive and responsible. That said, I cannot place full blame on them. Sadly, I missed some signs which were obvious in hindsight so some of this is absolutely my fault. Especially related to backups. I am now making backups of my backups and storing them in several places (online, offline, and in the cloud) so that we have more recovery options if something like this ever happens again. How can we help?? Post, post, post. Dive back in and start using TGO. This will be a scar for a while, but like all scars it will eventually fade. Other than that, there really isn't anything to do. I just noticed [insert problem here]. If you notice anything weird with your account, especially with payments for Benefactor memberships, let me know. I'll sort it out and get you taken care of. That's about it for now. Thanks for your patience while we were offline. I suppose if there is a silver lining to all of this, it has provided a chance to do some things different and better behind the scenes. Hopefully those differences and improvements will equate to odds heavily in our favor for the future. --David
