Thanks again for the info. Very helpful!

Welcome to TGO, Troy! Enjoy your stay!

Thanks for that! Is TICS used for anything other than background checks of gun buyers?

Congrats, Old Man! Your first Grandbaby?

Does anyone know roughly how many licensed firearms dealers are in the state of Tennessee. And how about the number of background checks (Tennessee only) are done each day/year?

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge of this model, compared to others in it's price range? What do you know about it?

BPI. No, not BFI.

That sounds like a pretty good deal, but yea, that's probably far too heavy for a second floor apartment. Too heavy for me to drag up the flight of stairs.

I have no real personal experience with these sights on an AK, but a friend of mine had the XS Tritium Stripe installed on his AK. He loves it. He's now thinking about having the Big Dot installed on his other AK.

I have to respectfully disagree with the previous posters. I think it's an issue he will get to fairly quickly. The final decision may not come for some time, but I don't think he'll wait all that long to get the ball rolling.

I'm in the market for a safe, and I saw this one at Academy while I was shopping today. SENTRY 14-GUN SAFE $359.99 Item#: 15875503 Style#: G4311 SKU: 0340-03031-4311 Solid steel, pry-resistant door Five steel live-locking bolts, concealed hinges 14-gun capacity LED Electronic lock with lever handle I live in a 2nd floor apartment, so the safe can't be too heavy. I think this one weighs in at about 230-240#, which is just about right. From what I've been able to find, the price is pretty good, too. Anyone noticed any deals in the recent past?

Taxidermist! He could have been around for a long, long time. Seriously, what a beauty. That's a real shame. Is that a bath towel? If so, that thing is huge!

I guess it really depends on what you plan on using the AR for. I figured that I probably wouldn't be doing much shooting over 100 yards, so I went with the EOTech 511.A65/1 (shorter model). Plus, it's small enough to place a rear BUIS behind it, without moving the optic too far onto the handgaurd. On top of all that, I wasn't interested in spending the big money on some of the other more expensive options. I didn't care for the ACOG at all. In the slight chance that I find myself wanting to shoot much more than 100 yards, I always have the option of buying a magnifier. The magnifier simply magnifies the view through your optic. You're basically looking through the magnifier and the optic at the same time.

Lights are overrated. Hand signals are where it's at.

WOW! Just reading your story raised my blood pressure through the roof and got my heart thumping. That DID sound like a rush. Congrats and welcome to TGO. Enjoy your stay!

Congrats!

Thanks for the offer, Mud! I may take you up on that offer. My Friday route covers the Winchester area, but as slow as we've been, I'm not sure if I'll get down there for sure. I'll have to check Joe's site to see if any are pictured, so I can get an idea of what he has to offer. I'll keep your offer in mind. Thanks again!

I know she REALLY wants one, but I'm not sure how long she'll stay interested in it. If she lasts long enough, I'll start to modify it for her. If she loses interest, I'll be able to start my very own Ultimate 10/22 build. I've really been wanting to start a build of my own, but I'd rather her take a serious interest in shooting. I can always build one later.

Kinda-sorta. The camera flash makes it appears a little brighter than it really is. It's undoubtedly PINK.

Well, that depends on when you ask her. She's not real happy with me right now. Cleaning her room is not what she would call "fun".

A pink one that will hold a scoped 37" rifle should do. Hopefully my route will bring me to your area sometime before the 18th of next month.

Yea, I was just there. They did have a black w/ pink trim and a camo w/pink trim. I think they were $19.99 and $24.99. I was able to find an all pink camo case on that site I mentioned above, but after shipping it's gonna be about $45. I may just go with one from Academy.

I'd bet it's the brake line, or the pins are sticking. Unless you plan on driving the truck for 20+ years, I don't think there's any reason to spend the extra money on metal brake lines. Make sure your pins are greased up real good. Of course, make sure you bleed the brakes really well.

Look at my pretty pink Ruger 10/22. Actually, it's my daughters birthday present. I picked it up at Academy Sports + Outdoors. It was priced at $239.99, but because it was the display model, they gave me a 10% discount. Not that there was anything wrong with it, but I had to ask. It came with a Houge overmolded (rubber, not plastic) stock, and I actually like it better than the wood version. I also had them install and boresight (install and boresighting was free of charge) a Bushnell Sharp Shooter 3-9 x 40mm scope. It's not the best of scopes, but it should serve the purpose for her. I hope she's half as excited as I am.

Number 1 Choice - Cold Steel Recon Number 2 Choice - Cold Steel Gunsite II IMHO, the Tanto blade and serrated blade is the only way to go.
