Appreciate it! You never know, this place of unpredictable. Maybe Santa will put a little something extra in your stocking for xmas so you can go get a new toy.

This one stings a bit. I need to start trimming down and starting with something I really like may make the next few easier. That said. This is the 16" Carbine faux silencer version of the fantastic CZ Evo3 Scorpion. It has the actual Silencer Co faux can versus the later CZ cost cutting version. It currently wears a factory CZ comp, but includes the pictured original thread on faux can (about $100 alone on the interwebs). These come with a pretty nice collapsible folding stock. As many know, these start life with a series of handicaps sat atop an otherwise great platform. Specifically the worst trigger of any recent production firearm, a laughably short and hard to manipulate charging handle, an awkwardly angled uncomfortable grip, and an ambi safety that digs into your trigger finger (for those that are correctly handed ) All of these lawyer and bean counter driven short comings have been addressed to bring thru all the goodness that lay beneath. HBI Delta trigger and spring kit, full polishing and tuning - the19lb factory crunchy trigger is now a very nice 3.5lb smooth pull to a clean break, with audible positive reset. HBI Delta charging handle, matching ambi safety delete, and extended duckbill mag release. Yetiworks Switchback forward grip with storage compartment and adjustable backstrap. Transforms it into a quick and easily handling carbine with near ideal ergonomics. The above improvements would set you back approx $250 along with hours saved in trigger tuning. Plus the bonus of a chilled extra factor mags and the CZ Comp. 4 CZ factory 20 round mags, Silencer Co faux can, Original factory box, and replaced OEM parts included. $800 cash, not interested in trades Chattanooga area. Willing to a drive a limited distance to assist with meet. TN carry permit preferred, license OK. Sorry, no Nashville plans.

If you plan to buy a bit of ammo this year, this may be a deal to consider. Normally I dont do subscriptions, but could rationalize this one. TargetSportsUSA is offering a $50 gift card for signing up for their membership @ $99 and buying a case of ammo from a list of specified brands. This membership gives you 8% off and free shipping. The discount almost nets out the TN penalty. So after the gift card, you can make back the $49 membership cost diference pretty quick. Up till today there weren't any really good deals on the qualifying ammo brands. But they just put up some Blazer brass 9mm for an additional %12 off when doing the above, so drops it to $211 for 1000 before tax (free shipping). They email the electronic gift card after the transaction enters, so no real wait. At least that what happened for me.

Won't put your eye out

One note from an early adopter, and may need to research of this apples still. These had a reputation for breaking strikers from dry firing, which isn’t a typical problem in other center fire guns. Snap caps were recommended. May be slightly overblown, but just fyi. I got the Apex striker when I picked up their trigger for mine because it’s good to have a backup.

I don’t think anyone will try to argue the reliability of a ‘genuine’ glock. Time will bear out this new offering’s place on that scale. It sure as hell won’t be near the polymer80 end of the scale. The modularity seems to be a focus. Whether modularity is an appeal or not, the other aspect that is a significant selling point is the preference based ergonomics. That is what originally drove the clone wars. I have many Glocks, but I won’t ever pretend they have favorable ergos and acknowledge they have a specific training need due to the grip angle. I like that this allows for more standardized training around presentation across platforms. And yes, the modularity

Glad to see more things going the route of modular with serialized FCU. Makes so much sense in a Glock with all their frame and slide combo variations. I bet Glock isn’t thrilled to see this! Reputable company making a quality piece at a substantial savings which is superior to the prior low end faux glock option. First real threat to Glock's sales.

I can say that wasn’t my experience. because it sounded pretty far fetched, I tested it, and it didn’t go down that way. just entered an email and done. You sure you didn’t go to Gungrabbers.com?

At that price, not surprised. I've learned with their emails you gotta strike fast when you see cheap. One of the few places I leave the almost daily spam on cause when they have a deal, it it can be crazy good. Recommend it if you have the patience.

Sorry to hear it Spots. Glad you'll have 15 years of great memories to sustain you thru this hard time.

After today's upsetting news, hope this distraction helps. Used po po M&P 15's for $299. Vendor does not charge the TN 10% penalty, shipping out here to the east side came back @ $17. https://armsunlimited.com/smith-wesson-m-p15-5-56mm-semi-auto-ar15-rifle/

Is that second one what they mean by a ghost gun? Sorry man, couldn't pass that one up, GLWTS

This is heartbreaking to hear. Anyone that has had the pleasure of meeting Jim and talking with him about life know what a great person he is. I can't believe it's been almost 6 months since I last talked to him. He shared his situation, and I was struck with the poise and grace he had in accepting what may be coming. His thoughts were not for himself, but for Kathy and his family. Prayers for his family. I hope for them the same peace he has.

Dont know what your 'thing' you referred to may be, but the answer is almost always keep it and add the other I love my FNX-T, very accurate and reliable. Great suppressor host. The only knock some may have on it is the grip. It's on the larger side and its more tactical brick than meant to complement the human hand. I'd say look at the HK's pretty hard. The HK45 series are great guns, shoot equally well, and easily modified. Their 45T is ergonomically superior imo. Some may prefer brick over finger grooves, definitely a choice, but the non USP is designed with the human hand in mind. If you like the brick feel, then USP.

Offering free to anyone who wants to pick em up.

Don’t live there to know the shops, but Sportsman’s Warehouse has some assorted parts. Some are in kits. Generic or bargain name brands in many cases. Prices are not bargain name though

Generally i’ve not really seen much offered in south east TN, albeit only a 5 years sample of time. The population is just too small Agree volume is down recently. But I see it as consistent with the usual cycle where fear drops and we enter into a glut, then prices drop. AR’s are a good indicator of overall market condition IMO. Notice discounts and rebates are also coming back post pandemic driven shortages and pricing. I attribute it to the favorable SCOTUS decisions and easing laws, the election while favorable as well wasn’t the main driver with this trend starting over a year ago as rulings began to have effects. With the pricing drop, flippers went away and owner sellers are less inclined to sell. Had the election gone the other way, those holding would have sold into the fear increase…so barring a fear driver…don’t expect it to change much in the next couple years.

imo it’s a bit more than competition. Smith sat on its laurels, don’t correctly build to the old standard, and decided to drop all q/a. While Colt has put a concerted effort into its revolvers and has surpassed Smith with out-of-the-box build. And of course, there is that silly lock thing

New in its sealed box. Model T151 / 601130. Not going to use it. These run $100+ $60 - Chattanooga area

Updated, lea market prices for like new stuff

I love compensated guns. When I saw Colt decided to drill ports into the Anaconda, I knew I end up with one. And here it is. I will say I am impressed with the build quality they are now delivering. Some may recall the Anaconda I had posted here a year ago or so which had to go back home for timing and barrel cant corrections. Colt did a fantastic job taking care of it, but left me of the opinion that they still had production bugs to work out. Happy to report this Kodiak is perfect in every way. Not only is the build quality spot-on, but the action is even a little slicker than the Anaconda's was. Very much looking forward to seeing how it shoots
