IT WAS me!!!!! I think so anyway. I thought we as men had settled this sir. I was looking for something, you had that something, we started to text, you send pictures of 2 of the something’s I was looking for, I ask if both could be purchased, you say yes and send prices. I think prices are fair, I give you my schedule for the evening, you give me yours, I didn’t want to travel through the mess that is Knoxville traffic. Not during a stupid insane work day anyway. I inform you that I would NOT be buying your something’s as I did NOT want do the traffic today, you remarked comically but said OK and NO Problem. From my point of view, we had never agreed on a deal, although we were close in my opinion, we just couldn’t come to terms with a meeting for today’s schedule. Later you offered to travel to Oak Ridge but by then I was ok with doing the blue label program and buying a new one. Not because of anything about our conversation but because I know I can stop by a trusted shop in Lenoir City that is on my way home. By the time all of your calls and meeting were canceled and you could actually meet me within reason, I already called and had one put aside at the gun shop. I was under the understanding that we got close but that’s all. Again I apologize for that. If EVERYTHING is agreed upon then I agree one should not decide not to complete transaction. Unconditionally. A man’s word is a man’s word. I again apologize if you honestly believed and honestly felt we had come to terms with everything. I would have much rather you let me know of the imagined agreement and that you felt slighted, I assure you that was never the intent. I apologize again for your ill feelings and your obvious several dealings throughout your wheeling and dealing. I wish you the very best in your sales and everything you do sir.

Purchased new. Thanks

I had not thought of it that way. At the very least they do still serve a purpose if that is the goal. Although seems to be an awful big organization to be a decoy. I would also think there has to be a better way to use that big of an organization. As small at GOA is they seem to be getting stuff done. Sure would be nice if the NRA of the 70s and 80s was still around. They was getting stuff done then too. Except the machine gun ban. We won’t count that.

Let me first say that I’m simple. I’m not hyper intelligent. I went in the Army for god sakes! The only savior for me is that I didn’t go into the Marine Corps!! I don’t know a whole lot about salaries etc. I don’t think that 16% of income is bad for salary. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe there is more to it. Just don’t seem a crazy amount. I would still rather have people that would do the job for free but with bills as we all have, I would expect people that are doing “company” work 24/7 to be able to pay those bills. Not talking about NRA level yachts but a median level of salary. We all know it’s more than that! I would be interested in learning more about family connections as far as salaries in the GOA.

Howdy fellers and ladies. Just wanted to see, if like normal, my opinion is on the fringe or if I may be closer to reality now. my issue is with good, hard working folks donating money to help fight the crazies from restricting things that if we really ARE following the constitution , are said NOT to be infringed. First off is the long tenured NRA. ALWAYS happens. When no one is looking, someone always gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar. Never fails. Although we expect them to operate within reason, lobby for the needs of its members, and be an honest person with upstanding integrity. We know that when anyone is paid millions to do what they would do for free, they always want more. Don’t matter what it is. EVERY single time. Not that it has finally happened to the NRA but, it seems to be the first time there was wide spread knowledge about it. To me seems like ROT. Needs to be cut completely out. ALL of it and start over. Seems as crooked as Hillary’s email server or Orange mans accounting books. Can’t be fixed needs total destruction, lessons learned and rebuilt totally if at all relevant anymore. With the likes of GOA and FPC (who are actually doing the things NRA is supposed to) why is there a need for a corrupt NRA anymore? I have failed to renew my membership for this reason. My donations have started to go to GOA and FPC. Although it’s hard to completely entrust because of the corruption seen at the NRA. I’m guessing it will be there for a while. If the GOA was able to get so many things accomplished with small group of donators, can you imagine if they had equal backing as the NRA? I honestly don’t remember the last time the NRA was relevant but kept renewing my membership because that’s what we do in my family. I guess with all the crazies, window lickers, tree huggers, and other democrats, to me our rights have become more important to defend. I would rather it be defended by honest people. Just my rant!! Am I on the fringe again? Too much truth?

Still available

Me!

Been a bit since this is updated with relevant deals and steals. This morning I bought 1K rounds of 9mm Blazer 115gr for 239.99 each and 3 boxes of 223/5.56 PMC 55gr for 9.39 each from Rural King in Sweetwater TN. I know not crazy low but seemed to be a deal compared to lately ammo prices. Just a friendly observation for my extended family. Seems crazy that 223/5.56 has become normal at .50/rnd for the cheap stuff and .27/rnd for cheap 9mm. I miss the .28/rnd for .223/5.56 and .10/rnd for 9mm.

!!!!!!!

It is a Gen 3 Glock 23 Compact 40s&w Compensated barrel and slide. Glock 23C.3

Glock 23C up for sale. The last of my 40 S&W pistols. Great condition. New Trijicon HD night sights. All extended controls. Will come with everything a new one does. Will have 2-13 round mags, 1-22 round mag, and a ETS mag I got at a pawn shop and have never used and am unsure of capacity. My guess would be 25-28ish. Has a 9mm conversion barrel from Zev with 2 Magpul 17 round pmags. Included 1000 lumen TLR-1 HL light. Really a great shooter and in great shape. I bought this in a 40s&w phase a few years ago. My guess is less than 500 or so rounds fired. Ammo up to 1000 rounds of FMJ and 250 rounds of defensive (Gold Dot/Critical defense) ammo available for purchase also. Trades considered. 9mm Glocks, AR 15/10 platform pistols and rifles, P320 9mm, .223/5.56,9mm, 7.62x51/.308 ammo tops trade interest but Open to trades that peak interest.

sold Tonight

Mr Thirsty!! Over the past few months of your post, I’ve come to realize that you need to be living closer to me so I won’t have to ponder driving the 5 hours every time you post here. I want to offer free sweet tea for life so you will never be thirsty again, IF you began your move to East Tennessee.

I don’t personally go to gun shows. It’s been at least 12-15 years since I have been. Now from what I hear, it’s mostly guys who are charging moon bucks for dirt road stuff, or ATF agents. Gun Shows in general have lost their “luster” or appeal for me. The issue I have with the latest infringement is the wide variable interpretation of “earning a profit”. I’ve had friends with ads on other sites that have received emails from ATF explaining their definition change. Basically a threatening email. This will be the new normal. It will only get worse with another FJB term. Still worse but at a slower rate if Trump gets another term. I for one am sick of old rich people making decisions that affect normal working people.

That’s a fact!! I don’t know when the GOP will realize that you CANNOT compromise on rights given by the creator! Not a FN inch.

The power to do this was given to FJB when congress passed the “safer communities act”. Which had support from several GOP members. They apparently didn’t read the bill is what I’m sure they will claim come election time. So no pulling the wool over anyone’s eyes here. It was a law that was passed in congress. I don’t agree at all with it but it basically expanded the definition of “making a living or for profit” in the gun dealers definition. The GOP fell for the trick and now virtually every gun sale with be considered sold by the new definition “gun dealer”. Which means you must have a BG check, pay sales tax, etc. just like buying one from a gun shop. Supposed to go in effect in a month from tomorrow. Unless the GOA, FPC, or others get an injunction. This is why no one trust any government official. Both the lefties and the GOP. All are FN rotten and they don’t take their OATH’S very serious and are easily manipulated. Welcome to the last years of democracy. Although I personally believe true founders democracy died long ago. I don’t think we will sell anything on here when this goes into effect. The owners of this forum won’t risk jail so we have a site the buy, sale, trade, discuss, learn, socialize, etc.

It probably been beat into most of our heads in the military, 2 is 1 and 1 is none.

I personally put value on usage. Less usage to be exact. I look for newer less beat to hell guns without the fancy dodads that we all put on our stuff. The gun is for sale, not the pink grip and furred dice scope.Just because you have a scope that was sought after during the first depression doesn’t mean your 400 gun is worth 1400 now. That is me and I know others put fancy do dads on with the thinking it raises the value but those dodads are good for you and maybe not for a potential buyer. I’ve learned that the hard way with an AK that I have well over 5k in. People like what we like and don’t always want to pay for what you like. As others have said, some of the stuff here is priced comical. EVERYONE and exactly every single person I have dealt with have been good honest people. A few have become regular contacts in this world. Grain of salt buddy.

I don’t have what Mr Ray has or I would be claiming single. I do have a brand new front to back BCM AR that hasn’t been fired. I think it is the best in class rifle and can’t bear to soil it. The others I have, I beat like they owe me money on mortgage day. Now that I am finally on my property and able to shoot out the back door in my underwear. Which IS normal!!! Anything is worth only what someone is willing to pay for it. If you think it’s too high then you’re not interested.

Bump!!

Take her to Gunny’s in Maryville. They have a woman’s shooting class. They shoot several different guns in the class. My wife ended up buying a Glock 44 (22lr) because she really liked it and that’s was her favorite that she shot in the class. I then bought her a PROMAG 18rnd mag for it with Federal Punch ammo. She carries it in her purse and I hope she never needs to use it. I guess it’s better than a rock! But she made the decision even though I begged for at least a 380.

1000 rounds of ammo now included.

TTT!

Ttt

I wouldn’t have expected anything else. It’s all democracy until they lose then they claim this or that. Mostly this and that IS democracy! Majority wins. That’s it that’s all. If my side don’t win this time around then I need to get out and talk to more people who believe differently! I need to explain thing the way I see them. Try and win over more support. I thought that was democracy at its core! The Tennessee 3 was booted for acting like children because they didn’t get their way. Then cry racist. I get that they want gun control instead of teaching their kids right from wrong, but if you don’t have the support of the people then you need to talk to more people who think differently. WTF am I missing? Is my thoughts of democracy really different from reality?
