This is a smoking deal. I don't need this gun, but if it was closer to Chattanooga I'd buy it just...because. Some of you Nashville folks wake up and get on this. Cheers, Whisper

The demise of Armslist has been well discussed, both here and on other boards. If you wanted a lesson in how to destroy an online sales model, you would find no better example than Armslist. One of the principles of the universe is that whatever part of Tennessee you live in, you'll find the guns you want in a far-away part of the state. North Carolina has a similar problem. Gun buyers who live in a state that's narrow in one dimension and wide in the others should learn to enjoy road trips. There are always pawn shops and barbecue joints along the way....

I've responded to all messages, gun still available. Cheers, Whisper

The article you cited is way out of date. Trump owned three handguns and surrendered two of them to the cops in NY in March 2023, and the third was transferred to FL. Donald Trump's license to carry a gun in NY expected to be revoked after 'hush money' trial conviction: sources

It looks like you're in Oliver Springs, so this might not help, but Montlake Freedom Works in Red Bank had one of these for sale in the store yesterday. Cheers, Whisper

You're right that he's not on our side, but right after Trump's first election, one of his sons was saying that he would take suppressors off the NFA list, which wouldn't really be a heavy lift for any president, but Trump didn't do it. Maybe this time he will.

SOLD PENDING RECEIPT OF FUNDS For sale -- nice condition Swiss K31, 7.5 Swiss, with original sling, original bayonet, and two original stripper clips. Matching serial numbers on bolt and receiver date this gun to 1940. Photos show butt of stock is in good condition; no water damage from standing in the snow, as is seen on many of these guns. With the bayonet and stripper clips included, this one is ready to load up and go fight Nazis. $725 to an honest citizen legally able to purchase long guns. I live in Chattanooga and will drive a reasonable distance for a deal. For trades, right now I'm looking for a shooter-grade over/under 12-gauge shotgun with 28" barrels. A Browning Citori would be great (I can add some cash for boot if needed but I don't want a shotgun that costs as much as a car). Other trades considered, but I already have all the plastic pistols and ARs that I need. Thanks for looking, Whisper

Still available.

Still here, but lonely, waiting for a 1911 to live with.

The NRA should be behind this one also.

Nice gun. Too bad you're so far away. Are those the original grips? I've seen photos of these guns with grips that looked more like the ones on the old Detective Specials. Thanks, Whisper

Are you talking about the CCI Quiet-22 Segmented HP? I've found those to be highly effective on tree rats, and in a .22 bolt gun they're quieter than my RWS Diana pellet rifle. I've never tried the ammo in a semiauto but it does seem to burn dirty so I guess it's not surprising if it wouldn't cycle reliably after a while. Hope the cleaning helps.

I agree totally with all of this. Cheers, Whisper

You apparently weren't paying attention to the right polls. The high-quality polls during the last week all said it was too close to call; Nate Silver, probably the best pollster we have now, said it was within the mathematical margin of error, but his gut feeling was Trump would win. Trump got 50.5% of the popular vote. Harris and Biden both gave calm, reasonable, and gracious concession speeches. (If Biden had spoken that well at the debate with Trump, he would have been the party's nominee.) They accepted their loss like adults and agreed to cooperate in the transition. What would you have preferred for them to say?

I see much good stuff about that SFAR, and I've been impressed with ones I've handled at the gun store. But I already have too many guns that I hardly ever shoot, and I probably don't need more. Probably. Maybe. Gee, what do these cost nowadays.... Whisper
