Not sure but I think he's showing us he's on WiFi since he posted at 32,000 ft.

Looking to build a personal range.

On the west side of Davidson county is Cheatham county. You might want to check out Pegram and the Kingston Springs. Those areas will be rural enough to have some land but they are starting to push it on a normal commute distance to downtown Nashville IMO. A little south of there is Fairview which is in the more rural and affordable area of Williamson county. I know some do it, but for me, Fairview is too far if you have to commute to downtown Nashville for work. On the east side of Davidson is Wilson county so you might want to take a look a Mt. Juliet and further out is Lebanon. That's not my area of town so I'll leave it to others to comment about Wilson county. Are you sending any kids to public school? If so, that will weigh in on your best county choice. Regarding traffic, commuting to downtown Nashville stinks no matter what area you live so you might like it better around Chattanooga. -
He should have asked first. It's only common courtesy no matter how old you are.

I've been using a Lyman Pro 1200 for a number of years and it has worked well for me but I don't do a ton of tumbling so YMMV.

Trekbike replied to rmiddle's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
You mentioned that you're looking at both Nashville and Chattanooga. Are finding jobs in the equation or are you free to settle where it suits your taste? If you end up wanting something around Nashville, you will need to live outside of Davidson County if you are wanting something more rural. Your finances will have some bearing on which surrounding county you chose along with other criteria you have. Give us some more details and we should be able to give you some pointers. -
Cool looking AR. What's the build details? Were you using factory or handloads?

Sorry you had to go through that. Your post made me think of this video. It helps to lighten the anger. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dg7X5_K7LhE[/media] -

Very nice and I was pleasantly surprised by the cost. -
I think there is an echo in here... :)

A good example of why giving money does not always bring people out of poverty is big time lottery winners. Most of them end up worst than before they won the money.

M855/SS109 5.56 Ban!!! AKA Green Tip
Trekbike replied to mcordell's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
I know you didn't direct that necessarily at me but you won't find me in that camp. I can't remember any elections I've sat out of since I was eligible in the early 80's. -

Trekbike replied to mcordell's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Well crap. I got excited over nothing. Can we have our country back already? -
It probably depends on how much you will lose on the cost of the lens if you F it up. If you are unsure of your ability, have a professional do it.

Trekbike replied to mcordell's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
Yea. Then they can say they misspoke about saying it was a typo and they really did mean to ban it. How brilliant. -
Flat grind in stonewashed! Finished! Sick Scales!
Trekbike replied to sybo's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
Nice progress. I like the stonewashed look. Eager to see the finished product. -
Hey... keep that gun talk out of the photography thread. :)

M855/SS109 5.56 Ban!!! AKA Green Tip
Trekbike replied to mcordell's topic in Ammunition and Reloading
So if I read correctly, this was all an error and there is no proposed ban on M855. I believe that it was a publishing error, yeah right... How about the public outcry was great enough you had to back down and this was the best cover up lie you could come up with. So does this mean all the ammo sellers will immediately drop their prices back down to normal levels? I guess not since there will be a bunch of folks that don't read the news and still line up to pay .60+ cents per round... -
I cleaned out some large peanut butter jars and used them to store brass and bullets... Does that count? :)
-
I had the price right at $224.95 in 1984, but the shop wrong. It was Small Arms Weaponry on Donelson Pike in Nashville.

Lola is too cute. Sorry but I'm forced to post the song video because the song got stuck in my head after seeing this post. :) [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gaMS_5i0Bbs[/media]

Agreed. I don't think you'll find many folks on this site calling it an assault rifle. That is a term the uniformed and agenda driven folks use.
-
Yea. That's what I was thinking. I'll have to check my receipt when I get home tonight for my Ruger 6" Stainless Security Six that I bought back in the early to mid 80's and I think I paid $225 from Ace Hardware. That was the reason I bought the Ruger because I couldn't afford a Python. One of my friend's Dad had a Python and I was in awe, so it had to be way out of my reach at the time.
-
In the article the author said that in 1989 a Python was $300. He didn't state whether that was new or used unless I missed it. I don't have specific info but that sounds too low based on my memory. Anybody remember what they sold for in the time period?

Glock 42. If you're wanting something smaller I'd go for the LCP.
