Took a couple of the Marlins out today that have not gotten much attention in a long, long time. ‘76 336T and ‘82 39A.

Target sold ammo? Just found these forgotten treasures hidden away. Bought around 1980 when I was just a kid...well my dad bought them. Price on the 30-30:

Most warranties these days are tied to the original purchaser.

What are y’all’s thoughts on registering a new firearm with the manufacturer for their warranty? Don’t they provide the warranty regardless of whether you register or not?

It’s just fine for those who think the Rocky Mountains are in Tennessee.

I am developing an unhealthly obsession with the 3” King Cobra .357 since seeing one the other day.

I keep a hammer with mine.

FYI, ALL U.S military surplus .30-06 made prior to 1952-54ish is corrosive. Forget the exact year, might look that up later.

Hard to beat a S&W Victory. Not much to look at but once you shoot one you’ll see why they’re so popular. Mine with a Vortex Venom on top goes to the range every time. In fact, it stays in the range bag.

Have you heard about the Mark IV?

Don’t worry, mine are strong keep the hands where they are supposed to be.

I found a quarter in a pinball machine coin return last Friday.

There’s probably enough left to do a thousand more guns. Try to control yourself.

Suck it boomer.

I’d ask why a $1400 pistol needs to be basically rebuilt as it sounds. I’m also of the opinion that if you’re going to dump that kind of money to make all those modifications to a firearm then you’re also going to need to realize that the sum does not equal the whole. In other words, don’t expect to recoup the cost you put into it unless you find the perfect buyer. Do you like this pistol that has been modified to someone else’s specifications? That’s really all that matters.

Nice! Mine is very close to yours, May 1942 manufacture (receiver), maybe even same day. Fantastic rifle.

Then go get one.

There really is more to it than that. Assessment is a property assessor term used for taxing. It differs, but is tied to appraisal value. When properties are reassessed every “roughly” 4 years in TN by law, then the local property tax rate is to be adjusted so that it is revenue neutral. That sounds great but some people’s taxes do go up, others maybe down. Property assessors now are using recent sales values (the appraisal part) in valuation. And to add…many in state guvment are trying to reduce that reassesment interval to something like 2 years…keep an eye on our wonderful republican supermajority, it’s going to cost us all.

Using Kroger as an example, I have literally seen nearly 100% increase in prices on some things in the past 4 years and I swear every week I go in there something I want has been jacked up again. As far as housing goes you hit on an even greater issue. It’s literally tearing the fabric of society apart, especially in TN. Just imagine if all these people raising hell about language, he/she’s, Palestinians, and whatever the outrage of the day is started focusing on the increasing threat to their daily lives then we might start seeing some of that “change” everyone talks about.

This could probably go in a couple of different subs but I’m dropping it here. I have a family member fresh out of college moving to Nashville soon who is keen on buying his first handgun. Who do y’all recommend for a training class around there? Maybe who has the best permit carry class? Those are adequate for most and are generally sufficient, was just wondering if there was something else to consider in the introductory sense. I’d like that he starts this journey with more structured tutelage that an Uncle can provide (even though that instruction has been excellent ).

And having the biggest, newest, pickup truck on the block in a neighborhood they can’t afford living in with insurance rates skyrocketing to match the grossly overinflated house values in this state. Not to mention everyday expenses that are unaffordable due to previously mentioned commitments. “But the bill just says minimum payment due”. That kind of ignorance has a lot to do with it as well. And none of that has jack #### to do with the government.

The NRA is too wrapped up in defending it’s own legal existence, reserving money for Trump, and ensuring that the higher ups are taken care of for life (along with their children, granchildren, and so on) to be of any use fighting any anti-2a matters.

Is that the gear shifter in the middle of the pile?

I was at a Mardi Gras street party down in Baton Rouge many years ago and a guy pulled up on a big chrome Harley and I do mean CHROME. Every inch of that bike was chrome plated...tank, fenders, all of it. It was most impressive.

0:25 -0:35 in that vid speaks volumes.
