  1. That's a great pistol. I'd hate to sell it. But if you're in a bind, you gotta do what you gotta do. Nothing in my collection is more important than food on the table and roof over my head.

    Marlin XL7 30.06

    Field and Stream picked as one of their best buys back in the winter!
  3. I read the comments made to CNN and all but two were supportive of Mr. Muller! I'd by a truck from this guy if I lived in Missouri!
  4. This needs to go in baby steps. Something else needs to set the precedence for the 10th Amendment, before firearms. Maybe Health care. Once that precedence is set, then we can move on firearms.
  5. Seriously, with your price range, I'd go with an Remington 870, though just about any pump shotgun would do. the 870 seems to be the pump shotty that all others are compared too. That says something. That being said, I've had good luck with Mossys and Mavericks I think are just Mossys made in Mexico. I've also heard good things about Charles Dailys, though I've never handed one. IF you can find one, a used Ithaca makes an EXCELLENT shotgun!
  6. No ghosts, but lots of snoring from the dads in attendence! It's a great deal for scouts and their parents. We stayed on board for two nights, they served four meals in the in the enlisted mess. We had the run of the ship from 6:00am till 11:00pm. And they also took us out to Ft. Sumter. That was one of three trips we could have taken. The others were Boone Plantation and the SC Aquarium. All that for the price of $32 per night per person! And we got ringside seats for the fireworks over Charleston Harbor on the 4th (I think Boomsday is better). We had a ball, but I was a tired puppy when we got home on Sunday!!! I agree about the BP Pistol! Everyone should have one. Sadly I'm lacking. I had a Pedersoli Remington 1858. 44, but I sold it. Wished I hadn't now. We all hear that a lot, don't we!
  7. For ribs here in Knoxville, my favorite is Ruby Tuesday. They are wet and the best in town. Calhouns is just ok in my book. I like Chili's better than theirs. For Brisket, it's Famous Dave's with the Devil Spit, BABY!!!

    Revolvers!!

    I like Giada, but Paula Dean is my dream girl!!!
  9. I know all about gate guards with no sense of humor. Used to in the Army. My son and I stayed on the Yorktown with his Scout Troop over the July 4th weekend. One of the coolest Scout Trips I've ever been on! I look forward to the pictures! BP pitols are getting harder to find unless you mail order them.

    Revolvers!!

    She's got'em!!! You like the Cobra! I have a 2nd Gen Agent and I love it! Very accurate with the right load for a snubby. I use Federal Nyclads when I can find them. I'm down to one box now and I don't have a lot of hope in finding anymore.
  11. Could you post some pictures of what you have? Are you stationed in Charleston?

    Revolver rifle

    They were really made during the cap and ball era of the mid-1850's. It was about the only multi-shot rifle until the advent of the Spencers and carbines of their type during the Civil War. After that time period, I'd tend to agree. I'd much rather have a Winchester lever gun for my long arm.
  13. I'd say you did well! I bet the nipples can simple be replaced. Good purchase!
  14. Boy, I bet that Detective would REALLY be impressed by some of the carbines over at the Hi-Point Forum! He probably compare them to a Nuclear Bomb!!!

    Revolver rifle

    This is your lucky day, my friend! There is a guy in Lafollette, TN that has one for sale on Gunbroker. I happened to see it last night. It's a Uberti in .357 Mag. Here is the link. Uberti Revolving Carbine 357 mag : Other at GunBroker.com

    New 16lb 9mm!

    Shotgun News had an article on them a couple of months back. Seemed to be very impressed with them. MSRP was up there though. Seems like it was around $1000. I think it may still be in the "Library" at work. I'll try to check it out again tomorrow.
  17. Why can't I be this lucky and run into something like this! REALLY NICE JOB!!! And there is absolutely nothing wrong with refinishing an old warhorse like this. It's not like he knocked off $1000s of dollars in value from it or anything. I dear say it means more to him now than it did when he bought it and that's what it's all about.

    Scout Rifles

    Got the ear muffs! My son would definitely come. Oldest daughter might come too. No way on the youngest. She hates even fireworks. Weekends are full between all the sports they play. I've only been able to get to the range twice since March. I got several things to shoot, nothing to exotic though.

    Scout Rifles

    For kicks and function both. It's something you don't see a lot of, but at the same time it should be a fast handling rifle for whatever you may need it for. Iron sites are a biggy for me too. I don't like rifles that are glass only. I'm going to have to come to one of your all's shoots. Finding time between a wife and three active kids is a problem though!

    Scout Rifles

    Nothing against the SKS (they are great little rifles), but I like the 7.62x51 NATO round better for the power. I already have an old Isaphore 2A that has been bubbized that I bought for less than a $100. I have plenty of 7.62x51 rounds for it too. I think Suntzu is looking at the samething with the Mosin. Plus it looks like a fun project if I have the guts to go through with it.

    WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! SCOUT GUN PORN!!! If I only had this much tallent and patience!!! Here is an outstanding article on a Enfield Scout conversion. I would think the MN would work much the same way. Enjoy!!! Scout Rifle Project - Articles

    Check this out about 2/3 of the way down the page! It's an Isaphore converted over to a Scout! BEAUTIFUL!!! Tactical "Scout" Rifle... - TheHighRoad.US

    Storm Comming

    Amen brother! I'm going that route myself.

    Scout Rifles

    I tried to go to ATI's site and see what the cost of that rail was, but i was unable to locate it. I need to get the Isaphore out and look at it and see how much room I really have.

    Scout Rifles

    I've always wanted a Scout Rifle chambered in .308. Almost had one once. I was in Charlie's Pawn over on Kingston Pike several years ago and there was a Ruger M77 .308 Scout! I traded a S&W 4505 for it. I was proud as punch til I got a letter left on my door a few weeks later from the Knox County Sherriff's Department, saying I needed to be concerned about the where abouts of a certain Ruger Rifle. Seems it had been part of a gun collection that was stolen down in Georgia. I had to give it up to a detective over at KCSD. Charlie's had unfortuately already sold my old pistol, so we agreed on a price and they gave me the money and apologized for the whole mess. I've heard the Mossy's are decent guns! I've been thinking some more about the ironsite problem. I think you could mount a long picattany rail forward of the chamber and mount your scope. Then also have one of those flat top AR rear sites on hand. That would do the trick, I think. Something like this! http://www.ar15pro.com/item/168311_MIDWEST_INDUSTRIES_Sights__Lasers_MIDWEST_LOW_PROFILE_FLIP_.aspx
