I want to replace the trigger in my DPMS AR-10 .308. It's a decent rifle apart from the trigger, which is awful. The rifle was inexpensive, so I don't want to spend half of what I paid for it on a new trigger, but the LaRue products seem to get pretty good reviews and are priced reasonably. Has anyone here installed a LaRue trigger into their rifle, and what do you think of it? I'm looking at the two-stage trigger. Thanks!

I watched him pitch and win at Dodger's Stadium. He was something to see. RIP.

Welcome! I'm relatively new to TN, too, having arrived here from Washington six years ago. You'll enjoy the group!

But the horrible, awful, terrible news is that the filthy ducks have moved up to.... I just can't write that.....

^^^^^^^ and those people are generally in tiny, homogenous populations with only a single, planet-wide government.

I have an old Atlas / Craftsman 101, but no DRO. I'm about 45 minutes west of Knoxville

I'm a retired volunteer fireman, and I went through a burned out floor in a multi-story structure once, stopping myself with my arms. Luckily for me the fire was mostly out on the lower floor, and others helped me back up. I don't recommend it.

Vegas sets the odds so that the house wins either way. Those who bet bet against one another. The house takes a cut for brokering the deal.

Thanks guys!

I have four #1's, but not a 22-250. That'd make a nice addition!

This little guy is in my barn this morning. It's sort of chilly, and the snake's not moving about. I'm guessing it's 9" long or so. I looked at pics on-line and reckon it's an Eastern Milk Snake, but I'm relatively new to Tennessee and haven't seen this species before. Maybe a corn snake?

Some people's kids!

Holy Crap! What's going on with Georgia? Can Alabama be that good? I know Georgia can't be quite that bad.

Only you know! I think your location may have something to do with a lack of interest. If you were half an hour from me I would have bought these componants when you first listed them. But Wears Valley is a bit of a drive for me. You're offering a very fair deal, I think, just too far from me.

I can start one with a flint, a steel, and some homemade tinder. If you cut an old t-shirt into 2" squares, put it into a metal can with some air holes and put the can into a fire the shirt will become the best tinder ever. One spark and it starts burning. For me, though, all bets are off it's raining, which probably defeats 80% of the purpose.

I see open carry from time to time, and honestly, I wish those folks would conceal. We all know that LOTS of people are uncomfortable seeing a sidearm strapped to a hip. My preference is concealed for few reasons: I don't want to call undue attention to myself. I don't want to cause worry to others. I don't like the idea of being the first target if some nutcase decides to start shooting inside a store that I'm visiting. I carry unconcealed when I'm walking in the woods and often on my own property. But in every other circumstance I want to be as discrete as possible. I suspect that a sizeable proportion of those who carry openly do so just because they can, not because it fulfills a necessary purpose.

One of the vendors I sometimes use, American Reloading, is offering factory second primers at what looks like a good price. They're asking $360 for 5000 LR primers. BUT... they're factory seconds. According to the ad, that means that the primers have less than 0.01% low charge. I'm tempted to order 5K, as I'm doubtful such a small variation will cause much trouble for me, but I wonder what the other reloaders think. The only caveat they offer is that the primers are sub-optimum for very low temps. That price includes shipping and Hazmat, by the way.

Bear in mind that you'll need a good supply of projectiles, powder and primers. Seeing how difficult it is to obtain primers, in particular, you should be sure that you have a committed supplier. A second thing to consider is liability insurance. It might make sense to talk to an insurer before committing too much time and money. Good luck with your project!

I'm not selling mine, but I just came in from putting 100 rounds or so through my Ruger Precision Rimfire. I really enjoy this rifle, it's very accurate and it has some of the adjustability that you seem to be seeking. Bolt-throw, butt-stock length and comb-hight, and trigger pull are all easily adjustable. The price for a new one is fairly reasonable, too. Good luck with your search!

Wow! Georgia over Kentucky by one?! I didn't see that coming. And KY won the statistical battle, apart from the most important stat... points. I didn't watch the game but think I'll go check the YouTube highlights.

I've long wanted one in 30-30 over 20g. This one is tempting, though.
