I haven't found a bad place in Tennessee, save for Memphis. I'll give you a bit of advice. When you come here, forget everything you think you know as it relates to politics, religion, and "the way we do it in New York". Also, do not comment on anyone's southern accent. We don't like that here. If you insist on "doing it the way we did in New York", stay in New York. Tennessee is a different place in every way imaginable. I guess the area depends on whether you prefer mountains, hills, or billiard table flat land. We have it all from mountains in the east to flat land in the west. If you enjoy sneezing and sweating in the summer and shoveling snow in the winter, Tennessee is for you.

I happened to be listening to Beck's radio broadcast one morning when he found out about it. He was carrying on about the Trevon Martin case when a lady from Knoxville called and talked about this. He had no idea, as he isn't in Tennessee, and the story never made the national news. During the next break, he read about it on the internet, and when he came back, he went off! What doesn't get reported in the news is much more telling than what does get reported in my opinion.

It'll be good as anything you can lay hands on for your intended purposes, in my opinion. I would check the availability and price of ammunition before buying. Most likely it won't be a problem, but at least you'll know for sure. A 25-06 is a great round for the reloader.

They're just like anything else John Browning designed.....Perfect!

Australian shot in Oklahoma by bored teens

Obama; if you had a son, would he look like one of these guys? :huh: -
A Marlin model 39 lever 22 is guaranteed to put a smile on someone's face. Be prepared to shell out some cash for one though.

I'm 40 and still do a lot of hunting with a 243.

It is funny how interests change from time to time.

Heck, you're a guy! You're supposed to like guy stuff. I bought a new Stihl leaf blower last fall, and I've had nearly as much fun with it as most any gun. -

Honestly, I've heard more about the Obama's new dog than I have about this shooting. -

There. I fixed it for ya. I know this won't be popular with some, but it would have been driven into the ground had the races been reversed. I've yet to hear or see a news story even mention that fact in passing. I know it was made painfully clear the ethnicity of Treyvon Martin and Ronald Zimmerman. Anybody else notice that? Just an oversight I'm sure. -
I guess the question remains "What do you do with someone like this?" I know I used to really push the line on a lot of things as a high schooler. It drove my teachers nuts, gave the principal fits, and really didn't help me much other than relief from boredom. I like to think I grew out of a lot of that. I don't believe Embody ever will.

Need help identifying/valuing an old L C Smith Field Grade 20g SXS
gregintenn replied to musicman's topic in Long Guns
Model 21 Winchester, Parker, LC Smith, , Lefever, and Ithaca doubles were the premier American shotguns of yesteryear. Many of them still survive after decades of hard use afield. I used to trade at Game Fair when they were on West End ave. I haven't been to their new location. Judging by their inventory, I expected them to be arrogant asses, but I've been treated very well by them in the past. They always kept top shelf guns and fly rods. I'm of the opinion that a proper shotgun should have two barrels. If I had deeper pockets, I'd feel the same way about rifles. I expect you'll really enjoy that one. Take it out and bust some clays, shoot some squirrels, or a myriad other things it was designed to do. You'll really appreciate the craftsmanship and quality in it that just doesn't exist in a Mossberg pump or even a Remington 1100 for that matter. -
Thanks. I'm definitely interested. I like the fact it is made right here in Tennessee!!!

Prices and options? If we agreed to buy a lower receiver in the earlier thread, are we still bound to that, or are you just starting over?

You know, I'll bet that if a group of concerned gun owners got together and had a serious meeting with him, there would never be anyone prosecuted.
-
Did you show them your badge? :cool:
-
LOL! I don't think they'd miss you much. How far above your target's center is this line?
-
No hate in this thread. The op asked for thoughts and opinions. That'll usually get you some. It's great if you like it. I don't have a foregrip on my AR either. I can see why people find them useful, but the bad outweighs the good for me.

Hendersonville Gun Show this Weekend , Aug. 24 & 25
gregintenn replied to Grunt67's topic in Events and Gatherings
Usually one of the better shows in this area, and a nice building in which to hold them. I haven't been to one in a while, but they used to have a pretty good show 3-4 times a year in Cave City, KY. -
I'm with you. Saw that thing off, shape it with a file, sand, and refinish, and I love it.

I can offer some advice, and you can do with it what you like. When I was a teen, I drove a very nice looking 67 Chevy II Nova. It sounded like a race car. I also drove a Corvette some. I loved the cars, but they drew attention. I don't care for attention. They also drew the polices' attention. I never cared much for them either. As I grew up, I put these pieces together. I sorta miss classic cars, but I now drive more non descript vehicles, and have noticed police never give a second glance no matter where I am or when I'm there. I haven't seen your car, but I'm betting it is an attention grabber for one reason or another. If this is the case, it is sort of like a girl with pink hair and a tattoo on her forehead that gets upset when people stare at her. Whadda you expect? If you don't like attention, don't drive a car that draws attention.

Good deal. Have you personally bought from this company? I am not familiar with them.

My favorite load for 223 has powder just about level full with the neck of the case. Some powders are simply bulkier than others.

Me too. Have never had one to fail to feed, fire, or eject in any 45 I own.
