What you are talking about isn’t the same thing as the old insurance plans. They are no longer available. I would like to disagree about saving for retirement. If one starts early, invests regularly, and stays with it, he doesn’t have to put up very much a month to retire a millionaire. Most folks do not have the discipline or foresight to do this.

I like the idea. As we are fortunate enough to have good insurance, I haven’t tried it personally.

Do you like it?

That IS health insurance. What we have today is prepaid healthcare. It is like car insurance paying for tires, brakes, and oil changes. Some doctors are now advertising menu style pricing for services. I believe this will continue to more and more popular.

Well, .gov made illegal catastrophic care insurance. It was affordable and what we should all have anyway.

I am planning to retire in just over a year. I am a little apprehensive about it as it gets closer. I like my job, but can retire with insurance and roughly half my pay. I figure if I become broke or bored, I can always find something else to do. At least it will be a change.

This was a trait I hadn’t really noticed until I married. Luckily, my wife is gracious enough to point it out on a regular basis.

I live in the sticks. Any unrest will not likely affect me unless I choose to drive to it and participate. Since I am often wrong, we are well armed and reside on a property that geography makes fairly easy to defend.

Any of ya’ll know anybody in Tennessee who doesn’t own a gun?

Sounds like a cool old man. It would be neat to find some of his notes regarding loads. I expect you can find the ammo, but it won’t be cheap.

The 32/20 Contender barrel sounds interesting.

I cannot imagine...

There may come a time you wish you had them back.

Looks good, but I’m afraid it is missing sighting equipment. What is it comprised of? I was aware the side charging bolts were available, but am not familiar with who makes the receivers and bolts.

I think they’d average a hundred bucks apiece or so, as they are all modern. The Knight would bring a bit more. They’d sell, and they’re just like selling a car wheel....no dealers, background checks, etc. Why don’t you read up on them and shoot them a bit before parting with them? A lot of us really enjoy shooting them, and they can be about as accurate as many modern firearms. Their utility afar outweighs their current value in my opinion. Just he sure to thoroughly clean and oil them after firing, as powder and caps are corrosive! P.S. Make damn sure he didn’t leave any of them loaded before attempting to load them.

Good grief! I think even I could manage to turn a profit with a well known and respected gun and ammo manufacturing business right now.

Find out how the repos are disposed of in your area. Not being in a hurry will usually pay dividends.

Blue's Landing. If it hasn't changed and you enjoy Cajun food, it's worth trying.

Ain't much excitement up here in Macon County either.

Is that bar and grill across the highway from the inn still open? I can’t remember the name of it, but the food there was really good. I really miss the Airpark Inn that burned on Reelfoot Lake. Sorry to derail your thread.

In Paris? Surely these folks were bussed in. When are they going to reopen the inn at Paris Landing? I love it up there.

I do not have the load in memory, but I have also loaded 100 grain half jacket bullets in the 30-30 atop pistol powder. It makes a great varmint and plinking load. If memory serves it shoots really close to the same point of impact as my favored deer load at reasonable ranges. I haven’t shot my old 94 Winchester in a long time. This makes me want to dig it out of the safe.

It was my first gun; an H&R. It also has a 20 gauge barrel. It is cool, light, and handy.

I have a single shot 30-30 and have loaded and shot spitzer bullets in it with good results.
