Moped

Congratulations!

I've always said if we get into a Nuclear exchange and I'm at work, I'm going to the nearest Stop-N-Rob and buy a six pack and watch the light show from the hood of my car. Don't figure I'm going to make it home in time, since I work near the Ridge. I have to figure Oak Ridge would be on the first round of targets.

I thought Murphy carried a Thompson? All great selections though Mark!

We currently have two bolt guns. One is a Remington 521 Junior Match. It's a great shooting rifle. The other is a old rifle my Uncle gave my son. It's a Marlin Model 80. It doesn't look like much and it's not worth much to anyone but him, but it does shoot amazingly well for the condition it was in when he got it. I don't think he would part with it for the world.

I won't have a rifle without iron sights. I've never been much of a glass fan any way.

Friend of mine has one he purchased back in the Late 90's from another individual. Decent rifle and he likes it a lot. Lot cheaper than an AR at the time and it uses AR Mag.

In the service, I've had good ones and bad ones. The good ones were always reliable to a fault. The bad ones, I traded on and got a good one to replace it. There was never a problem with that. I don't know that I ever shoot one till it was "white" hot, but I've shot them till they glowed with no problem at all.

Don't forget the the largest earthquake recorded in modern history was over around the Reel Foot Lake area. I believe that was in 1812. It was a 8+ and actually caused the Mississippi River to run backwards. It created Reel Foot Lake and rang church bells as far away as Phillidephia, PA. For those of us in East Tennessee, Oak Ridge is probably the biggest cause of concern.

1999 Nissan Maxima. I'll be driving this for approximately 1 more year and two months. Then I'm turning it over to my oldest daughter, may God forgive me! I figure after that it will be safer to no longer drive on the road. The rest of you all... good luck!

I read that in the Knoxville Paper today. Seems the British are leading this little endeavor. I wish we'd clean the whole mess out of New York and send them packing back across the pond, so they could leave us the hell alone!

If you have a family to move, a bike is in no way practical. Your best option is to already be gone. Be ahead of the crowd. I understand that option is not always going to be available. However if your prepared, you can still be one of the first moving. Magic, I never had the idea that there were a lot of sheeple in Sevier County. It might be better to get the vehicle off your car lot.

What or who ever it was I hope he comes back against Alabama! That was a fun game to watch!

I too thought Walther when I first saw it. Looks nice though. Wouldn't mind shooting one.

That one looks like it's a candidate for a new stock!

Dang! I wished I lived in Nashville... Wait a minute! What am I saying! No I don't! That's just crazy talk! But I sure like that price!!! Don't think there are any at that price here.

That's an easy one. Springfield 1911a1 .45ACP .357/9mm Convertible Blackhawk .22 cal bolt action Rifle. (I have a Remington I'm pretty happy with) 12 Gauge Remington 870 Springfield M1A If I could add a sixth one, I'd pick a Ruger MkII or MkIII .22 Auto with a bull barrel.

I had one of the Handi-rifles in .308. Another gun I wish I had kept. Gun fire arm. Had a bit of kick, due to the light weight. Decent trigger on it too. Not real slow to reload either for a single shot. I got to where I could reload it and get another round off in under 5 seconds.

I got another vote for the Marlin 336 30/30. Hard to beat one in East Tennessee. Light, fast, decent stopper. Of course, I haven't hunted in 12 years, but that was my favorite woods rifle back then!

Sorry to hear about your loss. Been there and had to do it too. Worst thing in the world. My heart goes out to you!

Don't worry! I'll keep it between you and me! I love secrets! Besides, I doubt he notice something like that in his BOB anyhow, being the strong young lad he is!

AH! I just went back and read the first post and noticed that they have changed the shoot to the 11th! Thank you for pointing that out! That's a bit confusing with the thread title showing the 4th! Hope others have seen it too.

Boy, I bet that would be a true pain to blow up by mouth!

Excellent point Suntzu! That sounds like a very valuable bag to clean and keep after the first use. I think in a survival situation, you'd want to save most everything if possible. With the exception of used TP or whatever it is that one might be using, like poison ivy or oak leaves.

I'm bringing the Hi-Point out Sunday along with all my mags, even my crappy ones. If figure if your willing, I get you to show me what you do to make them shootable again (that's assuming they were ever shootable to begin with). Your right about the magazines being the weak point in the weapon. I think they are a little flimsy too. I also got a couple of 15 rounders that I just don't have time to fool around with that I'd like to trade. I got one of those ATI stocks on it now and it doesn't play nice with the 15 rounders.

I'm still planning on making it. One big problem though. I was going back through all the pictures and realized I might not be so welcome. I don't have a Mosin to shoot. Can I still come and at least watch?
