10-Ring

I don't NEED to buy or sell anything. I only deal with established TGO members with good feedback ratings. Exceptions can be made if I get a good vibe on someone. I've had exceptionally good luck here.

I've had both. 100% crawl space. Or preferably as @derf suggested a basement. I don't ever recall having issues with frozen pipes. I had a neighbor on a slab whose septic line collapsed in about near the middle of the house requiring major renovation to repair. After seeing that, replacing a little bit of subfloor seems like child's play.

This would be an excellent opportunity for interested vendors to start accepting cryptocurrency.

A former co-worker lived by this strategy. He told me that I shouldn't accept a job making more money because people who earned more were more likely to loose their job during tough economic times.

Price?

Bump for price reduction. Turkey season is around the corner. FYI will be in Sparta area this weekend if that helps anyone.

Line needs to be purged and/or your thermo coupler isn't getting hot and causing the feed to shut off.

I buy most everything through ammoseek. Currently 9mm is running about $0.15/round and .223 is running $0.30. Every now and then you find free or very reasonable shipping.

Bought one of these a few weeks ago. It's my new favorite gun. Wish I had bought it a lot sooner. GLWS!

I've had a tainted opinion of Taurus for a good amount of time. I've never discounted the brand completely, but I came to the conclusion that of 2 guns coming off of the same line, one may be great and they other junk. I was also gifted a Taurus Judge. Well, it ain't no S&W, and being gifted one, is about the only way I would own one. Certainly not a purchase I would make on my own. After several people telling me they liked the TX22, I picked one up. I have a small range in the back yard and spend a good amount of time plinking with .22s. I was impressed with it out of the box and it was consistently getting chosen over my other pistols for range time. I decided to put a reflex sight on it in hopes that my wife and daughter might like it and shoot with me more . Well, that made it even more fun. So I have less than $400, in this one and it's by far one of my favorites. If you are on the fence, go get one of these!

I've been running an Apeman setup I bought from Amazon for about 5 years now. It works great. I think they are about $50.

Not sure what you are trying to do. I needed a hard case so I could fly with a handgun (or at least check it in my luggage). Picked up one of the Apache (Pelican knockoff) boxes from Harbor Freight for less than $15.

I suffer from the same illness. I had a single Remington 870 for over 20 years that handled all shotgun tasks. I began aquiring more shotguns a few years ago and probably have around 10 now. Each kind of fills it's own niche.

Yes, and in that order. I was a small child and an easy pick for bullies. There was a group of guys in our neighborhood that loved to chastise me simply because it was something to do and likely made them feel better about their own pathetic selves. (Most of these guys would later spend time in prison). I wish I had had the confidence to catch one of them out alone and clobber him, but instead I spent several years walking with a big stick or calling friends to come to my house if we wanted to go somewhere else so I didn't have to walk down the street alone. That situation went on until one of them was dealt with. That situation impacted me mentally for many years, even as a grown adult. I was always afraid that someone would give me a hard time for no reason and there was nothing that I could do about it. I also didn't have the confidence to stand up for myself when my employers would tell me to do unreasonable things. It took 15-20 years or so but I got past all of that. I got my confidence back. Now my focus is on making sure that my son has the ability to not let that happen to him.

Made a purchase yesterday and had to resign the 4473 and make sure that my signature was completely legible. I'm no doctor, but I write like one. The clerk said that the ATF had been coming down on them for signatures not being legible.

Interested in Python message sent.

I refused to sell anything for years. The first 20 years or so of gun ownership it seemed that every firearm I owned had some kind of sentimental connection. Along the way I sold off a few that I didn't have a connection with and later regretted it. Like the AK-47 I sold for $300 around 2007. I'd like to have one again, but can't justify current prices. Or the Marlin 336 in 35 Rem I sold for $400 or so about 5 years ago. I simply didn't have any interest in that gun then, but would use it on the regular now, and once again, the value of the gun has probably doubled since I sold it. Truth be told there is a lot of stuff I own that I haven't shot in a long time, but most has it's niche. I have a few that I just flat out don't use that don't make sense to keep, but as long as I don't need the money they will sit there. No different than stacking silver bullion in the safe. TLDR: I regret some of the things that I've sold so I'm not selling anything that I don't have to.

I have a 13 year old daughter that isn't really interested in much, but shows some interest in shooting. Anywhere around Nashville that may have some kind of opportunity for some casual youth .22 competition? And/or would anyone with kids in the Nashville area be interested in getting their kids involved in such? I'd be more than happy to organize if there were participants.

Grew up with an 870, was gifted a 12ga shockwave and now consider myself a Mossberg man. I think both platforms are fine, I just like the top mounted safety on the Mossberg. The shockwave, as others have mentioned, is not natural to shoot, but I took to it quickly. Training with it is compulsory if you plan to use it defensively.

Thanks for sharing. I have been interested in buying silver for a while and haven't because it's difficult to find a steady source at a good price. Apmex offers free shipping on orders over $200, that's hard to beat.

I haven't thinned down like that myself but it seems like I would start at the back of the safe and work towards the front in the event that I needed to. I have a lot of guns that I've never fired and at this point those fill a very small "what if" niche. The majority of those were given to me by my father in law when his mental health deteriorated. I don't feel that it is my place to sell them despite not having a use for most of them. I figure I'll just pass them down to my son eventually. Of course if you aren't selling to find another project, clean them up good, lube them heavy, and stick them in the safe. Let them be someone else's problem once you are gone. Especially if having them makes you happy. Just the musings of a middle aged man

I don't remember exactly what year, but it was within a couple of years of 2000, a state income tax was on the ballots. Most everyone who's opinion that I respected was dead against it, as was I. 20 years later I hate that it didn't happen. We were opposed to an additional tax, for the obvious reasons, but what we didn't realize at the time was not having that tax would bring so many businesses here that don't pay a living wage, along with refugees who hated where they lived and a state without an income tax was an important part of their criteria. Now I live amongst a sea of warehouses where farms used to be, in a house that I paid 3 times more for than it would have been worth 15 years ago so I can sit in traffic anytime I need anything. Tennessee ain't what it used to be.

Had you put this up a month ago my family would have just had to do without Christmas.

Apparently this is the second person this piece of has shot since October. Astonishing.

I've killed a bunch of deer with a .270. .A 270 was my first deer rifle over 25 years ago. I've tried about every bullet on the market. Years ago the Winchester Silver Tips were great. About 10 years ago something changed and they didn't do as good of a job. Most recently I've run Hornady American Whitetail 130 gn with good success and it's a pretty budget friendly round. I've had two bad experiences with Remington Core-Lokt in .270. One was probably the biggest buck I ever shot at. I found a 2" long chunk of rib bone on the ground where I shot it, but the deer made it to a river and drowned. I spent several hours in a pair of leaky waders with yeppers in the teens trying to find that deer unsuccessfully. The second issue was a small buck at 20 or so yards. Didn't even act like he was hit. Slowly walked in around the tree that I was in and I put another one in him. Upon inspection I had hit where I was aiming both times. I've used Core-Loct in other bigger slower calibers, such as 30-30 with much success. As my rifle collection has grown and my hunting locations have dwindled I find myself leaving the .270 in the safe in favor of other guns. Mostly because my .270 is set up to shoot longer distances and I'm not seeing those distances in most of my hunting situations currently. The caliber excels in the 100-300 yard range, and 300 is my personal limit. Depending on the round, you will typically see around 6 inches of drop at 300 yards, and another 10 inches at 400. (Hint: a 200 yard zero will put you 1.5" high at 100 yards. A 200 yard zero will put you in the kill zone anywhere from point blank to 300 yards with minimal holdover.) I'm running a 6.5x20x50 scope, which makes 300 yard shots fairly easy. I have found that under 100 yards and particularly under 50 yards I have not had good experiences with a .270. The majority of deer I've killed in the 100-300 range have dropped. While the majority of deer I've shot with a .270 at under 50 yards have run a good ways. I attribute this to the bullet moving too fast and not expanding. I suspect a heavier bullet moving slower would remedy the situation, but I haven't messed with it, as I carry something like a 45-70 or a 12 ga slug gun when hunting in those situations.
