  1. Re-read my suggestion. It's perfect for use on a drill press and does exactly what you're describing.
  2. Yeah, because we don't ever do that in middle Tennessee. Plus we have running water and electricity in our part of the state.
  3. Welcome to the Colonies. I'd like to invite you to attend one of our Middle Tennessee Meet & Shoot events. It's just a short drive down the interstate from Nashville and would provide you a pleasant opportunity to shoot quite a few different firearms.
  4. One factor that will affect the date of this event is when our State legislators are in session. Obviously when they are not in session, many of them return to their home districts. We will want/need to do this when most of them are in the Nashville area. My guess is that this will be in the early Fall.
  5. This is the direction that we are heading by virtue of natural evolution.
  6. You couldn't drive the 40 miles or so from Manchester?
  7. V-blocks will work, but the best way to do this is to pick up a cheap milling vise for use with your press. - Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices
  8. Perhaps as soon as we nail down a date, those of you interested in coming from farther flung parts of the state can get together carpools and caravans.
  9. Just so it's clear, I don't have any intention of this being a fundraiser-by-the-plate sort of thing. The cost of a plate of BBQ is pretty much what it sounds like. $10-20'ish depending on what you eat. I realize that some folks assume that these events just mean that you're showing up and donating to a politician's victory fund. This is a return to tree-stumping where the politicians are invited to attend and address those whom will be voting upon their jobs very soon. TGO commands a large membership and a large bisection of the Tennessee voter base. We already have elected Representatives who browse TGO even if they aren't registered members. Some are. The beauty of screen names, right? The bottom line is that there are some good politicians out there who realize that the winds of change are upon us and realize that We The People want good changes being made on our behalf in the halls of Government. And they want to talk to you! This conference has several purposes. First of all it's a way for TGO members to meet each other and put names with faces. Second of all it's a way for TGO's formidable voter-base to talk directly with the people who impact the laws passed and decisions made at the State and Federal level. Heck, it would be fun just to get the TGO membership together like this once a year. It's even MORE fun to involve our elected Representatives. Again... vote and let yourself be counted if you will make an honest effort to attend.

    1911's

    Kimber Warrior + VZ Grips Aliens + Streamlight TLR-1 I have ordered a black Cerakote stainless magwell with lanyard loop from Mars Armament and also a blank, serrated, notch rear sight from 10-8 Performance. These two things address features that I feel like any fighting 1911 ought to have and that the Warrior lacked. I have a different set of VZ Grips on the way that will include a thumb-relief for the magazine release and be cut square to cover the mainspring housing retaining pin at the base of the grip.
  11. Wow. I don't believe that's what I said it was going to be... I said that there might be several elected Representatives present and some may be invited to speak. What's wrong with hearing what the people who will be helping shape policies in the years ahead have to say? Especially if you have the chance to approach them afterward and share your own thoughts?
  12. Celebration Of Liberty Saturday, October 17, 2009 - Christiana, Tennessee Presented by: TNGunOwners.com, The Outpost Armory and Barrett Firearms, Inc. This event will... Be a joint production of Tennessee Gun Owners, The Outpost Armory and Barrett Firearms. Be held just outside of Murfreesboro, Tennessee on the grounds of The Outpost Armory right near Barrett Firearms. Be held this October on Saturday, the date of which is to be announced. Involve food! Have guest speakers, potentially including members of Tennessee's State House and Senate, Tennessee US House and US Senate members. Potentially feature Nashville recording artists Potentially have representatives from the NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Action) Doorprize drawings! This event is being planned as a way for TGO members from across Tennessee (and elsewhere!) to assemble, meet each other and also meet the elected officials who are shaping policy now and will be shaping policy in the months and years ahead... and to meet in a semi-informal setting much like the old fashioned "Tree Stump" rallies of years past. Your elected Representatives want to meet with you! Would you attend? Reply back and let us know! Thanks!
  13. McMinnville... I'd check with Joe down at Hero-Gear in Winchester. Welcome to Hero-Gear / Hero Guns : Hero-Gear
  14. Another good one is Fido.
  15. Yep, I visited the Squire's Room again this time and noticed a few new items on display. I figure they probably rotate things in and out of there because of the sheer volume on hand. Perhaps we can get all of the TGO squires to autograph a hat sometime in the near future and donate that to the room.
  16. Have you seen the new bottle yet? We visited the Distillery this past weekend and I admit that I hadn't seen it before now and must have missed the email that they sent out earlier this year to the Squires. After seeing it in the Distillery I decided that I needed to stop by and pick up a boxed bottle at one of the local stores on our way home. I guess this means I need to finish off the old bottle that I already have opened in our cupboard. Any other Single Barrel fans here?
  17. You've cleaned a few too many guns without proper ventilation.
  18. My wife and I are doing our part to ensure that your daughter stays employed.

    1911's

    I can't help but notice your choice of accouterments. If you like that, you'll really like something I'm working up.
  20. I now have a project for the weekend.
  21. Welcome! Glad that you found us and I'm sure you'll get plenty of answers to your questions. As Patrick pointed out, June 1st promises to be a great day to have a carry permit recognized by the state of Tennessee.
  22. I am going to have to ask the land owner about this. He's said before that .50 BMG is ok but I want to make sure that he is aware of exactly what you plan to bring. Is it semi-auto only? And can you keep the rounds on target?
