1990 model JM Marlin. Seems like I always carry my other more well used Marlin 35 into the woods so I decided to let this one go. Scoped has been swapped since pictures for a 1.5x4x20 Leupold VX Freedom. Mount is a DNZ Gamereaper. I will take $1100 for everything or bare gun for $900. Limited trade interest would be older hunting rifles like Remington 700 bdl's, Sendero ect.. in non magnum calibers, Ruger m77 especially bolt paddle stocks, something in 280AI or 7mm-08 with threaded barrel, nice optics, JM Marlins ?? I'll try to get some new pics tonight after we get back from Thanksgiving with the family

For sale is a Kimber of Oregon model 82 that comes with the factory sights. This was a rare upgrade and an option that was normally reserved for the SuperAmerica guns. Gun comes with one factory magazine, and is a ‘one hole’ gun. I’ve shot it a few times and it shoots like magic. Makes somebody’s Christmas really special this year or just buy it for yourself… This is a collectible gun at an excellent price. It has beautiful wood with a few very slight safe bumps. Take this girl home today. Prefer a local meet at my office in Brentwood, or I do travel towards Smithville on the weekends. I would rather sell it here than at auction so I don’t have to ship it, but I’m not gonna give this one away. 1000 obo

to back up my anger, this was just sent. Thank you @Grayfox54 for bringing this to my attention. Were I in Nevada I would be taking things a bit further. Dear Senator Blackburn, Please expedite the solution to food shortages at Fort Carson and investigate whether this is happening at any of our other military installations. Ther is absolutely no excuse for our soldiers to not have sufficient meals. I am not placing blame on you or your office, I am proud of your accomplishments and look forward to the next term. As a taxpayer, voter, and veteran I believe that someone must be held accountable. I wish you and your family a happy Thanksgiving. While we celebrate I will pray that our soldiers recieve a good meal. Thank You, Mark Parkhurst

Are you saying us Gen X are something else “good” or “bad”. We (Gen X) aren’t the ones doing everything in GT’s post. We are the last generation to understand everything from the times before.

SIG XTen, 2 15-round mags & 950 rounds of S&B 180 grain ball ammo. I'd prefer to sell it as a package. Bought a little over a year ago and I've only taken it out a few times. Shoots awesome but I'm just not gonna use it much. $950 I'm in Manchester but travel thru Murfreesboro & Nashville regularly so I'm able to meet anywhere along that route by 24. Thanks, fellas

586 no dash pre lock. No box. Beautiful weapon. $750. Gallatin area.

1. Back when thrift stores were just called “the place where we get our clothes,” you could actually find affordable secondhand items. Now? They’re “vintage boutiques” where trust fund kids in berets “curate” old Levi’s for $200 a pair. The same jacket that was $5 last year is now “authentic retro streetwear” selling for your entire grocery budget. And don’t even get me started on the resellers who camp out at Goodwill with their price-checking apps, snatching up anything remotely valuable before actual low-income families can find it. 2. One day you’re living in your perfectly fine working-class neighborhood, the next day some real estate agent is calling it “charming” and “authentic”—and that’s when you know you’re about to get priced out of own zip code. First comes the craft coffee shop where a latte costs more than an hour’s minimum wage, then the “artisanal” pizza place that doesn’t actually sell pizza by the slice, and suddenly your rent has doubled because your building now has a “vintage industrial aesthetic” (translation: they didn’t fix the exposed pipes 3. It used to be that fixing things yourself, growing your own food, and making clothes was just called “being poor.” Now it’s “artisanal crafting” and “urban homesteading.” The same skills people used to survive are now expensive hobbies for people who can afford to fail at them. Your grandpa wasn’t a “master craftsman”—he just couldn’t afford to buy new furniture. But now hand-made anything comes with a price tag that would make him faint. 4. Pour one out for instant ramen—the OG broke food that got many of us through college. While you can still find the instant stuff (for now), ramen has gone from 25-cent survival food to $20+ “authentic dining experiences.” The same noodles that got you through your broke college days are now being served with a backstory longer than your student loan repayment plan. 5.. Once upon a time, mason jars were just… jars. They were how poor folks preserved food to make it through winter. Now they’re wedding centerpieces that cost more empty than they did full of food. People are paying premium prices to drink out of the same jars your great aunt used to store green beans, and somewhere she’s either laughing or crying. 6. Remember when having multiple jobs was just called “trying to make rent”? Now it’s been rebranded as “entrepreneurial spirit” and “the gig economy.” What used to be a sign that one job wasn’t paying enough has been glamorized into some sort of lifestyle choice, complete with workshops on “hustling” that cost more than what you’d make hustling 7. Carhartt went from actual work clothes to fashion statements. The same jackets and boots that factory workers wore because they were durable and affordable are now “heritage pieces” selling for ten times the price. People are paying premium prices to look like they might know what a wrench is. 8. ulti-generational households used to be a sign that nobody could afford their own place. Now it’s been rebranded as “intentional co-living” and “returning to traditional values.” The same living arrangement that used to get you pitying looks now gets you featured in lifestyle magazines about “choosing community over consumption”—as if it was ever a choice 9. People who used to pick berries and mushrooms, because they needed food, are watching in disbelief as foraging tours charge $200 to teach people how to find the same stuff. Now there are apps and expensive guides for finding “wild edibles,” and somehow the free food in nature comes with a premium price tag. Your grandmother who knew every edible plant in the county would be charging consultant fees if she saw this.

Has 70 rounds through the .38 Super barrel, 0 rounds through the 9mm barrel. Flush cut and crowned slide stop pin. VZ grenade grips. Comes with 9mm Ed Brown mag, .38 Metalform mag, and .38 Chip McCormick mag.

I was always told asking a man how many guns he owns is the same as asking a woman how much she weighs.

I sent e-mails to both our Senators and my Representative yesterday. But I wasn't near as polite as you.

Every generation has it's share of people who don't have a clue. We can blame the faults of this generation on the generation that raised them.

I read this last night and I was really angry! I can’t believe the ridiculous p. r. responses from leadership at Carson and Ft Hood! Never in my 20 plus years of service did I see this blatant disregard for soldiers. If leaders can’t feed their soldiers remove them and put somebody in leadership positions that can do the job! Even deployed I never starved. The 1st Sergeant would deliver food to the remote sites in mermite cans with a 1/4 ton jeep to make sure you were fed. No Sergeant Major worth his salt would allow these soldiers to go hungry. Times have definitely changed. I don’t recall ever leaving a Mess hall hungry in the past. Not exactly gourmet food but filling. If command leadership can’t take care of soldiers fire them! Give all these young soldiers their food rations money back, their meal card isn’t worth crap!

When I was a kid, gas station air was free. Now it's $2. That's inflation for ya.

Not really, but during my time in, food was at least plentiful if not fine dining. I remember being a new soldier to post, having no car, and walking to every meal. Thankfully the chow halls were only a few blocks away. But that was when before consolidation became a thing with military dining facilities. DoD can't pass an audit at the department level, so maybe they can start small and answer why funding for the chow halls on an Army post aren't at or above what's being collected from BAS pass through via meal card holders, or off post soldiers eating on base (this was usually breakfast 9/10 times I did it). Those kiosks mentioned in the article are a joke. Little more than what you see at a Twice Daily or a Speedy Cafe. They're a horrible try and look good solution to a real problem. It's telling these issues keep coming up for the Army. I don't recall hearing any Navy/Marine Corps bases having issues, and I'm damn sure the Air Force isn't having chow problems. This is an Army leadership problem. General officers and SES civilians should be getting fired, but I'm not holding my breath.

Disappointed to read that story. I hope NCOs there are making sure their soldiers get fed, one way or another. Those NCOs should also be writing letters to their congressman asking him to initiate a congressional inquiry into the officers' actions.

I’ll say this then hunker down…has the military ever been a model of efficiency and judicious use of resources? Whoever commands Fort Carson needs to go, but I know my sometimes idealistic outlook on things don’t always jive with reality.

The demise of Armslist has been well discussed, both here and on other boards. If you wanted a lesson in how to destroy an online sales model, you would find no better example than Armslist. One of the principles of the universe is that whatever part of Tennessee you live in, you'll find the guns you want in a far-away part of the state. North Carolina has a similar problem. Gun buyers who live in a state that's narrow in one dimension and wide in the others should learn to enjoy road trips. There are always pawn shops and barbecue joints along the way....

Ruger 4.25in 1911. I bought this unfired from a fellow member a couple of years ago and have shot 35 rounds through it. It is a great gun, but I just don't see myself shooting it any more, as I am transitioning to all striker-fired pistols. It has a great trigger and well, it's a classic .45 ACP 1911. Comes with the box, a carrying case, two 7-round mags and I will throw in a 1911 Left-handed kydex holster if you want it. Asking $850. I live in Hermitage but I'd be willing to drive a little bit on a pretty day. TN driver's license required to purchase.

The Army seems to be the bottom of the barrel as far as quality goes. I have been to a some week long Drug Schools that were being held on Navy bases. We (police) were staying in their barracks and eating in their dining halls. Their food was awesome and their barracks looked great. Then I went to an Interview and Interrogation class at an Army base in Mississippi . The food tasted like it was all instant , the eggs were powdered eggs , and all the buildings looked like they were built back in the 50's. So I guess it depends on which branch of military it is. They should all get equal treatment as far as I am concerned.

Man I would buy this if I wasn’t 400miles away. Free bump

It's the 46th anniversary of the great WKRP Turkey Drop!

Well they arrived and are working fine. The screen is tiny, the instructions were microscopic in text but once I enlarged them, it was easy to set up.

You have to go on their site and get the "coupon" for $2-4 off. Oh and check out what a table costs if you wera a vendor. The promoters are getting rich and customers are getting screwed. But I still go sometimes, especially if I need odd ammo or magazines. this is a great reference for where, when and how much Tennessee Gun Shows 2024 | List of Gun and Knife Shows in Tennessee

New member here in Hickman, Smith County. I have a lot to be thankful for, as most of us do. Not the least is a good heritage: growing up in a good family, my dad was an avid out doors man, an NRA Life Member from the 60s till his passing in 03. He was a serious National Match Course shooter in the 60s. I've been a life member my self for over 40 years. I shot in the Jr. rifle club and shot some registered trap. Always hunted wherever we lived, in Ohio, where I grew up, on the family farm in Pa. where I was born, and Colorado, where we lived for 39 years before retirement in 2015, also hunted in Ks. Id. SD. and Wy, along the way. I love being able to walk out my door and shoot a gun now in any direction. That was a dream of mine from child hood.

Back when I was in the Army (72-75), we were short on just about everything except food. They did feed us good. I can't imagine an Army that can't manage to give its soldiers a decent meal and it pisses me off royally!

I understand, not as much fun without someone to share. I drag my wife with me. She's a great bargaining tool.

Happy turkey day folks!

How'd you like the results, Gunner?

As an Air Force vet, I agree. In my day, the USAF really took great pains to make sure the barracks, chow halls and other base facilities were top notch. The philosophy of leadership was kind of like, take care of the troops and the troops will take care of the mission. Whenever there was any kind of issue with the food or hours, command was really quick to get involved. I worked with many army guys both with me at army bases and them with me at USAF bases, and we all agreed that the Air Force had great food. Typically they served four meals. Day. The fourth being what they called midnight chow, which was for night workers mostly. That’s when I usually had breakfast. But back to the point, I have read that the air Forde is having these issues too. Generals being more concerned about dei recruitment and training will result in lack of money/concern in other areas.

Up for consideration- A like new/ never used . PHROBIS III, AR/M16A2 bayonet / sheathe and original owners booklet. These are selling at high prices on GB and other sites. Asking- $200. 00 FTF Fairview. $215.00 shipped. Trades- high quality wide view Red dot. Thanks for looking.

Memphis to Johnson City is quite a haul, but I’ve made the 2.5-3.5 hour trip to Nashville or Murfreesboro for the right gun at the right price on more than one occasion with no regrets.

Nice older Marlin 25N 22lr JM stamped Marlin Micro-groove. Has a nice Weaver K3 60-B German T post scope. Some light freckling. Shoots good. Not a museum piece.

PSA has these on sale and I couldn’t resist. Beautiful piece and very unique.

I installed a LaRue MBT-2 S (Thanks Erich!) into my AR-10 today. I've not live-fired it yet, but my dry-fire impressions are good. The original Mil-spec trigger was rough and had a pull-weight too high for my taste. The LaRue is smooth and has a reasonable pull-weight. I'm hopeful of finding some time tomorrow to give it a real test.

I doubt there's much reliable "proof" either way, but my experience with members of the OC community aren't pleasant. I get a sense that most (not all) OC'ers are seeking attention and like @deerslayer said, most often have junk holsters you can buy at Walmart and almost zero sense of situational awareness. Plus, I'm all for our rights, but I feel like it's a game of trying to scare teh anti-gunners and/or wanting a confrontation.

I love the older Smith and Wesson Revolvers, Pre trigger lock. I called Smith and Wesson a few years ago and begged them to build me a 686 Plus with no trigger lock installed. I even said I would be happy to pay more money if they wanted to consider it a custom order. They refused which broke my heart. I love the new Model 19 Carry Comp revolver, so I called them again and offered to pay more once more they refused, that just reinforced my love for the Colts I would love to see a picture of your Python, man do I love the old ones!

Fit and finish is excellent, especially for a budget 1911. I think it’s who imports them . SDS is the importer.
