Upgrades include match nickel sear spring, match hammer spring, extended mag release (HK45C mag release), meprolight tru dot night sights, recoil assembly, 2 x 10 round magazine and HK threaded barrel (Date Code CD, 2023).

An incredible humanitarian and an utterly shi##y President. We can thank him for 90% of the problems that we have in the Middle East and 100% of the problems that we have with Iran. Everything else nice said about his presidency is an attempt to whitewash history. I grew up in the 70's. I remember how bad it was.

Lousy President. But he was a an extremely good man.

.

Brand new, never opened. This is the new version that can take rechargeable batteries. Just procured too many.

I changed to a Springfield XDs in .45 about 10 years ago. It's light, compact, reliable, ergonomic, and relatively inexpensive. I've got a Colt Defender, too. But the XDs is lighter and feels better to me.

David... Like most all ambitious men who stand ( or stood ) on the world stage; Jimmy Carter was mindful of his legacy. His legacy wuz terrible. Carter earnestly set out ( I think ) to rehabilitate that legacy, and did to some extent. That success is evident by the comments we see here on TGO and elsewhere. I was 30 years old when Carter wuz elected; like you, I witnessed the damage, not just to America, but to the world. In sum: Jimmy Carter's damage to humanity in Iran and the Middle East far outweighs the home based humanitarianism he demonstrated for the last fourty plus years of his life. The Middle East is full of graves that that are direct casualties of his ( and America's ) actions as president. If Carter had any sense of reality, he had to realize the devastation and suffering his actions brought on the Middle East. I would like to think that it changed him. Here's hopin it did... That said, only God can give absolution and forgiveness to Jimmy Carter. Here's hopin he did. The consequences of Jimmy Carter's actions as president were nothing less than horrific. leroy...

He had more success than people realize. The feelings about his term, coupled with the way Reagan's optimism told the tale of the terms after cloud things up a bit. Jimmy Carter helped bring Egypt and Israel to peace; pretty hard to overstate how important that was then and now. While Nixon may have went to China, Carter gave them formal diplomatic recognition. Domestically, he pushed deregulation in the oil, airline, and transportation industries. Yeah, a Democrat removing regulation. He also appointed Paul Volker as Chairman of the Fed, knowing full well the plans Volker had were likely to feel draconian, and his presidency would suffer just as badly. That and the "malaise" speech are a moral courage we just don't get anymore in our politicians. His life before and after the Presidency were pretty impactful too. I'm grateful for the service he gave throughout his life.

Mr Carter had a good heart, RIP Sir.

I'm sure he was a good man at heart regardless of his shortcomings as President. RIP.

I was told if you can't say anything good.....

Hey all, My name is Dan. I am from the Chattanooga area. I am in the Marine Reserves now and just moved here from my last duty station in 2023. So not too familiar with the area and the different ranges available. I have a number of guns: pistols, shotguns, ARs, bolt action, and M1A. I really enjoy skeet/trap and 3-gun. Any recommendations for ranges, guns, accessories/gear, etc etc, is much appreciated.

Up for everyone’s consideration is my original Colt SP1. Produced in 1975. Rifle is in excellent condition. Comes with an original colt magazine and Vietnam era sling. Located in Knoxville. Cash price is 2000. Would trade for meridian defense AK, colt special combat government 1911, 9mm 1911s, 416 HK upper. If you have something else feel free to offer

Got this from another member here, been in safe over a year and I have not fired. ( I have a m1 super 90) I'm attaching the same information they used. I'm going to list do to lack of need and wanting a new HK in OD green. ***PRICE REDUCED, 1700. ***** Thanks for looking.

Finally got this all put together. Springfield M1a, Sig Tango 3-18 DMR and a Foregrip/Bipod. Honestly wasnt too sure i was going to like it, but she shoots GOOD

Welcome to the group. I'm in Hebbertsburg, just a skip and a jump from Crossville.

Welcome to TGO and Crossville. We camp in that area a lot for quick getaways.

By definition, it would still be an angled grip, but it would just be up to how the ATF feels about it that day

Welcome aboard!!

Greetings from down the slope in Maryville!

Deal with confidence - FUJIMO is a cool cat.

I've sold/traded all my .45ACP pistols except the XDS 3.3. I can't bear to part with it.

They would be the first truck I would look at if I were in the market for a new mid-size truck. A gimmick-free V6 engine with a geared transmission is not much to ask, but is rare nowadays.

It will not- Gen 5 Glock 17’s use the the glock 19’s locking lugs so not compatible with Gen 1-4 Glock 17’s. It will however work on Glock 1-5 Gen 19’s as it uses the same locking lugs(just will be a bit long)

Saw a good deal at Lanbos as well. I ended up getting the OD Green from Rooftop, however.

I own several FAL's, several M1A's and PTR GI model G3. Out of all of them, including a 18in FAL, is my 18in M1A. It just balances and feels right, but the Bush SAR48 is close second

There was a time when I thought he was the worst POTUS in history, but those tricky Dems kept sending bigger idiots to DC and made a liar out of me. Nonetheless, RIP 39

I have a kid driving an Altima now. It’s been a good car thus far, but thankfully, he avoided the dreaded CVT with a 6 speed manual.

A guy at work recently learned the hard way that nobody works on Nissan CVT transmissions; they just replace them. His economical 2015 Altima work beater suddenly made a lot less sense.

I'm tempted to get one myself.

I’ll admit I am a coffee snob and probably spend way too much trying new coffees all the time. I just tried a new coffee from Bucknuts Coffee and I love it. Group of deer hunters got together and started roasting beans. Picked up a bag locally here in Murfreesboro and it is the bomb. I still enjoy some Black Rifle blends—Blackbeards Delight is still my go to from them.

Welcome aboard! I'm in Chattanooga as well!

I'm near you in Ooltewah. In this area all within an hour of you there is The Chattanooga Rifle Club (membership required but non members can shoot the matches there), Cleveland Hunting Rifle and Pistol Club (membership required but non members can shoot the matches there), The Ridge in Dayton on HWY 27 ($15 per day fee) , Prentice Cooper WMA Range and Montlake Sportsman's Club in Soddy Daisy (Membership required but non members can shoot the matches there). On the indoor range subject, there is Carter's Shooting Supply on HWY 58 , Shooters Supply on Hixson Pike , Cleveland Shooting Sports in Cleveland (just up HWY 11/64 from Apison just past APD 40) and in Rossville GA there is Agoge Armory and in Ringgold GA there is Shooters Depot.

Welcome from up the road a ways! And thanks for standing a post for us.

Welcome to TGO DD - a good bunch of people and many forums to explore. Where was your last duty station?

Hung my Christmas stocking up today. Hope Santa fills it with ammo and gun stuff!

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 )

Picked this one up the other day. 1986 S&W 22lr 6"Bbl Masterpiece w/ Orginal Box and Paperwork, Grips are numbered to the gun. It's in pretty good condition, I made a off Gunbroker deal, I found this one and it had zero bids, so I sent the seller a message asking about selling it off Gunbroker so I didn't have to pay TN sales tax. We struck a deal and here it is, pictures aren't that great I was messing around with the settings.

If you want to feel betrayed, consider the Democrats made it a crime to carry a handgun in 1801 ,then any forearm in 1870 and the Republicans have had a majority for 8 years under Haslam, then a super majority for 6 more years and have not corrected that lack yet. They have been told time and again their actions are unconstitutional but they do not care, they love power and they love to control. If you don't believe that just look at how they killed the Constitutional Amendment to let the People vote on removing the Jim Crow law from 1870.

There are replacement barrels that can be had. Even original Long Branch barrels have show up. If you go that route, I would send it to a professional with experience with re-barreling SMLEs. Not a job for Bubba unless you want to risk a twisted receiver. You might look for some 8mm bore brushes. The SMLE has a .311 bore, not .308. So, normal .30 brushes sometimes don't do a good job of cleaning out gunk in SMLE and 98K bores. You might also try some bore paste. I've seen barrels I thought were hopeless turn out OK after an extremely thorough cleaning.
