Moped

Might have to check them out tomorrow after work!

A good way to crack the ice with your family is to have them all set down and watch this short video. Thanks for posting it!

Dolomite hit the nail on the head. AR or Ak are the way to go. I'd probably AK over an AR for the idiot proofing and simplicity. I've always shot the M16 when I was in the military and on the 125th ARCOM Rifle Team I shot the M14. I now own an AK and of the three the AK is the simpliest, but probably the least accurate. I figure though that now the AK is easily found in the U.S. that you will see the accuracy on these rifles go up. Us Americans will tinker with it until we make it more accurate, just like we did with the AR.

I have a pair of the the Bates Composite Toe Duty Boots and I love them. Got them for work and they are so comfortable I even hike in them. They are super light too!

That's a good price for the pistol and a good price on the transfer fee.

It's probably a good deal for all outdoors enthusiasts, not just hunters. Hunting is allowed in National Forests. All state laws are applicable for hunting and firearms carry. Most national forests have hiking, camping, boating, canoeing, mountain biking, etc. I see no reason to be upset by this. Most of the lands that are located on National Forests are not very useful for anything other than growing trees (which can be commercially harvested), any way. The lands are just managed by the National Forest Service for our future timber needs. Don't get National Forests confused with National Parks. They are two different entities entirely.

Good luck with your campaign against the illegal 2nd Amendment gun laws there Mr. Chang. I think your going to need it with all the politicians there. And the Sheriff is probably the just the tip of the iceberg.

I owned a S&W 625 with a 3" barrel one time. Good shooting pistol though. The size of it just doesn't lend itself to concealed carrier though, IMO. I think you'd be better off with a Government model .45.

Yeah, the pistol that shot me would be pretty dang low on my Favorite Gun List too.

Browning Hi-Power. Got it stolen in a burglary several years ago. Man, I love to have that pistol back! Great shooter!

There are always several on gunbroker.com. I'd love to have one. Hardly ever see them around here for sell.

Sweet Scouts! I really like the first lever action!!!

Hmmm, I shot over there several times a year (it's close by) and I've never had a problem with the RSO's at all. Sounds like something has changed. They like to come by and check out what I bring, but they've always been courteous and helpful.

I had a 9mm Carbine. It was a good rifle as long as I was using Hi-point Mags. I bough after market mags and they were junk. Really fun to shot. Saidly I needed the money and I sold it. Regret it now. I'll buy another one. Thought about buying a pistol because of some of the review/reports here, but they are just too danged ugly. I suppose I will breakdown one of these days and purchase one though.

The Buck 110 is a very good choice! Or perhaps you could purchase him a really nice Case Pocket Knife. Smoky Mountain Knife Works has a huge Case selection. You might peruse their site or even take a visit to their store in Sevierville!

Actually one of the cheapest and well built 9mm out there is the Ruger P89. I think there is one in the classified section that is up for sale for less than $300. They are not small, but they fit the hand nicely, go bang every time, and are not finicky about ammo. It would be a good first time 9mm. Here is the link. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/firearms-classifieds/57664-f-s-4-pistols-2-rifles-2-shotguns-sale-individually.html Another "Fun" pistol to take a look at is the Ruger Convertible Blackhawk in .357 and 9mm. I know it's not tacticool, but it goes bang every time and is super reliable! The con is it's a little slow to reload. I'd love to have one!

A month or so back, I picked up a 4" High Standard Deluxe Sentinel. I love it so far. I don't think I own a pistol that's more comfortable in my hand. Don't discount the older used guns. Hard to wear out a .22.

Got a Saiga .223. Picked mine up from a member here. Did the conversion myself. Total cost was $525. I got 7 35 round mags in the initial purchase. Then I started figuring out the configuration I wanted. Once I did that, I started looking online for the USA made parts that I needed. That took a week or two, too figure out where I could find them the cheapest. Then I ordered and started the conversion. It took me two evenings to finish the conversion and I've never done this type of thing before. I followed some videos I found on Youtube. They could have been better, but the base knowledge was there. I'm every happy with the outcome. So far after several hundred rounds I've had zero malfunctions and the accuracy is as good as any of the M16's I used the in the army, back in the day. The AK is a super simple weapon!

No way that pistol is only worth $350! I'd say double that!

The Confederacy lost one of it's greatest Generals in that battle, Patrick Cleburne.

Cool knife and a cool thread! Hand that down to a family member and start a tradition!

I think the State Park near Crossville is Cumberland Mountain State Parik. I was with my Boy Scout Trooper there this weekend doing an over night back pack hike. Beautiful place! Another place to check out is Bandy Creek Campground at Big South Fork, west of Onieda. Wonderful place with lots of hiking nice campground too!

ETO is starting to carry some Mil Surp stuff too. Mostly packs and such.

I met Sam some weeks back looking for a back pack for my son. Seemed like a great guy! We didn't linger to look at knives. Now I know I should have. Mora knives are the best bang for the buck in knifedom. They usually start online at $9 and go up. They are the quintessential bushcraft knife. I have three of them. No. 1, a 780 (discontinued) and a 511 that was found in a dumpster in Norway and modded by a friend of mine. I use it primarily as craft knife It's super handy. He also sent me a new 511 which I gave to my son on his 12th birthday. All four knifes together might weight a pound. Great for backpacking! My total out of pocket cost on the two knives I bought was $28, shipped from ragweedforge.com. I also have a Condor Medium Bushcraft that I love. Lately, I've gone Old School with my knives. I've started buying slip joints again. My two latest are a Kissing Krane Large Brown Mule ($11.99 at Star Sales on Central Ave.) with a carbon steel blade and a Rough Rider Utility (Scout/camp folder) ($12.99 at SMKW in Sevierville). Rough Riders are another knife that has great quality for a low price.

I'd shoot it and in the fall I'd hunt with it if I had the time!
