I would say they are in line with about every other manufacturer in the area; wouldn't you?

It appears you are correct. So what that other story should have said was... I was trying to be nice and buy a gun from a foreign manufacturer that was building a manufacturing facility here. Now I hope they choke on their linguine.

Exactly, unless some of the first ones were made in Italy. But that doesn’t make sense either if they are a wholly American concept. “What a great idea! We just don’t trust you to make the first ones in your plant.”

This is in a story at guns.com...

I don’t see a Gallatin roll mark in your photos, is there one? That look sweet. I could deal with that for my Gallatin marked gun.

I don’t know. But the calls for changes in the law so that foreign nationals can’t buy guns here while we are training them in military fighter aircraft is unbelievable. Or at least ridiculous.

They talk about “Loophole” like it is something illegal, and want to know if the gun store got the bulletin from the FBI?? What if they did? The law allowed what this guy did; not the gun store.

Many bases have gone to civilian security on the gates. As someone that has been both a Military Police Officer and a Civilian Police Officer, I would guess part of that could be because folks find out real fast they aren’t going to talk to an MP the way they talk to a Cop. That and it also makes for a bigger Federal Government. I assume these civilian gate guards are some type of Federal job?? Not unless you sleep at the Mall. You have real cops protecting you. As far as keeping an eye open….just know that when you need those cops immediately…they are only a few minutes away.

You can still pay for 2 hours at a time (at least at Stones River) without a hunting license.

So you have a Cert for your vise that you can show them in your AS9100 Audit?

$20 per visit for non-members, $30 per double. Two per booth max (That appears to be per day) That’s what our cheapest indoor range is per day. I see some of the new ones are charging that much an hour.

I didn’t know that. A few years ago, I tried to go onto the Naval Base at Norfolk where I had been homeported in the 70’s. The only way I could get on the base was on a tour.

Whaaaat?? Must get dressed and get to Walmart. I'm just kidding. I have more 40 than Walmart. Besides that, now all the guys/gals that carry The Right Stuff headed over there.

Good for them.

This base is open to the public. It has the worlds third largest Air Museum, a National Cemetery and is home to the Blue Angles. So any thoughts any of us that were in the military have about base security and going on base….this ain’t like that.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Now everyone down on the floor!

Copy that.

Studded tires are so 1960’s; no one does that anymore. You can drive on ice. I did it for years in Illinois every day there was ice. A couple of years ago we had ice for a week here. I live in Murfreesboro and worked in Shelbyville. I kept driving every day because I figured if it got bad enough, I wouldn’t be able to go. I didn’t miss any days while some that lived in town called in. It's like anything; you just have to approach the problem with some common sense.

I remember when we had a couple of inches one time and everyone at work was getting ready to leave because there was a snow storm. One of the guys asked me “How do people up North drive in this all the time??”. I told him; “There are speeds between STOP and 70 MPH.” The other thing some fail to grasp… Driving on snow is really not that hard. Driving on ICE is hard for anyone.

This is the one I want. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/34252/ruger+mark+iv+competition+22+lr

Amen brother, amen

Not much, but its snowing. Better go get batteries.

I’m getting ready to buy a Ruger Mark IV soon. Where are you getting one for a lot less than $500?

Or maybe I’m just wrong.

Yes, I have a S&W Model 617 as training gun for my revolvers. And it's an excellent idea for training and trigger time. I want one for my M&P handguns, but S&W has failed miserably at that. From the specs it appears Glock failed today also. There are plenty of Engineers in Tennessee that could keep the slide of a Tupperware gun light enough for the .22 to be able to work the action while keeping the weight and the balance of the gun the same as its big brothers. Too bad Smith & Wesson and Glock don’t have any Engineers like that. My last new M&P M2.0 4” Compact in 40S&W cost $330 + a transfer. I’d gladly pay that for a .22 the same size and same weight. But I wouldn’t pay that for one that feels like I’m shooting a BB gun. That's what the M&P .22’s feel like when you pick them up.
