There is an outfit here in Knoxville, Honor Air, that flies veterans up to D.C. for that very thing. I have no idea what it takes to catch a ride with them but here is their website with info and application: http://www.honorairknoxville.com/phone/index.html

Ain't you never seen a Pelican? There are quite a few up here on the east side around the lakes. They build huge nests and crap prodigiously. There is no mistaking a great blue herron for a pelican.

And as sure as the sun rises every morning and sets every night all y'all will vote for Corker if he is the rebublican gubernatorial candidate. If you don't Karl Dean will be elected.

Bob, I recall my first copy of the Shooter's Bible from maybe '76 or '77 with a picture of the Memphis police throwing boxes of guns in the river from a boat. The location was unmistakable as downtown and the old bridge were clearly in the background. That old book is long gone but thanks for confirming what I've always remembered but can't prove anymore! My Ruger Bearcat was bought brand new at a gas station over in West Memphis back in maybe '64.

So far I've only missed episodes 3 and maybe 4, haven't gone back to see about 4. Anyway, last night's episode addressed Kent St. I've always known about what happened there but never really seriously thought about it, much less look at that tragedy in light of currents events. What would have happened if those kids didn't scatter and stood up to the National Guard that day? What is going to happen when today's demonstrators cannot be controlled by tear gas, batons, hoses, and rubber bullets?

Do you live in the State of Tennessee?

One could easily interpret this to mean you might not think Roof is mental.

I take it you're not a hot sauce connoisseur. They have all kinds of crazy names including "Death Wish".

Does no one use calamine lotion anymore?

What scope do you have on the Scout Squad?

I thought after all the highly publicized smash and grabs in he middle TN area gun stores would have taken some simple, sensible steps to prevent these types of robberies.

M1A Scout Squad rocks. There are many like it but this one is mine:

Suicide by cop?

Cable TV and internet/phone service is like buying an airplane ticket or booking a hotel room. There are not two people that pay the same rate. I'm way past tired of it.

Automatch only comes in 325 round boxes. You'd have to go back several years before 2013 when the shortage begin in earnest to find a box of Federal "Red" 550 for $14, like maybe 2009/10.

I just picked up several boxes of Federal Automatch at Walmart for $14.84/box before taxes. If I recall correctly, they were selling for $13.97 about 8 years ago before slowly creeping up in price before the great famine.

The most common is Greek HXP and is very good stuff. That is what the CMP has been selling for years. It is non-corrosive and usually of '60-'70's manufacture. American made surplus is pretty much gone. If you do find any and it was made before 1953 it is corrosive. Korean is hit or miss. Much of it is corrosive and not very highly regarded. British Kynoch is corrosive. There was some Iranian stuff floating around a few years ago but I forget whether it was corrosive or not. That's all I know about and the chances of coming across any of those, except the HXP, are kinda slim. If you can't get HXP, just buy some of the PRVI M1 load from Aim https://www.aimsurplus.com/product.aspx?item=AP3006FMJ150&name=Prvi+Partizan+PPU+30.06+150grn+FMJ+20rd+Box&groupid=27. You might even be able to find some Prvi locally.

Glad to help and I've seriously abbreviated the advice, lol. Half the interwebz is devoted to what kind of ammo to shoot in a Garand, adjustable gas plugs, etc.

Wrong! M1's do not use a hot or heavy load. They were designed to fire a 150gr bullet at 2700-2800 FPS. Surplus M2 that is worth shooting is getting scarcer and prices are going up. I recommend finding some Prvi 150gr or even better, their M1 load.

I'm sure you know this already this but when it comes time to shoot the baddest battle rifle ever created don't run down to the Walmart or gunstore and get some random box of .30-06 ammo. You need M2 ball or it's equivalent.

Nope is right. What are you trying to do?

A fine looking M1.

They could be members of the Christian Kataeb party during the Lebanese Civil War.

Why'd he drop his poke on the floor with a shootin' iron in it?

Sales may be trending steady in the high range according to the NSSF/Brietbart but many of those sales have been driven by massive rebate programs and decreasing prices. From an investor's standpoint that is not ideal.
