I was thinking that until Friday. Now I'm not sure I have a month or two.

Their website shows "out of stock". I ain't a tinfoil hat kinda guy, but I'm guessing the time frame for being able to purchase an AR isn't too long. :down:
-
Who has one in stock in the Middle Tennessee area, And what's the price? I'm guessing nobody! :ugh:
-
This will get a LOT of views!
-
I've changed my mind on waiting in light of recent events. Who has one in stock in Middle Tennessee now?
-
I'll not argue with that!!!!!! :up:

It seems to me that these deranged mass murderers usually search for a "soft target". You don't hear of this happening at an NWTF banquet, gun show, police department, etc. The last so many have happened at places labeled "Gun Free Zones". Stick a gunbuster sign in your front yard and see how it works out for ya. This, however, isn't the root of the problem. I see the direct correlation between this country turning it's back on God, and the degredation of our society.

Obama's reaction to the CT tragedy
gregintenn replied to Ebow1's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Like him or not, our president is the father of two children, and a human being. I expect he was shaken by this senseless tragedy just as all of us were. I'm a fairly cold, heartless SOB, and it hits me hard. I also imagine, that as the leader of the country, he feels the need to do something. I don't know exactly what that will be, but I ain't looking forward to it. -
What trouble did you have with it?

Midway once had those on sale at half price, so I bought one on a whim. I didn't expect much from a $15 scale. I have been pleasantly surprised with it, and use it pretty regularly now. It is quite accurate and repeatable. I think I've had it a couple of years now and have yet to need to replace the batteries or to recalibrate it. As for the Lee scale, it is very cheaply built, but I've found it to be accurate as well. I also picked up a Lyman scale a while back, and they all three read the same thing everytime.

Instead of regulating firearms, I see a much more urgent need to regulate tools. Some folks shouldn't have access to them!

http://www.midwayusa.com/product/121744/lee-challenger-breech-lock-single-stage-press-kit?cm_vc=subv1 This, along with appropriate dies and shellholder (Lee dies come with a shellholder, except for the RGB series), appropriate trim guage and shellholder, powder, primers, and bullets will get you started. As I suggested eariler, you need to buy a manual first! If you like it, you'll soon want a tumbler, bullet puller, stuck case remover, maybe a better scale, etc.

I would suggest a Lee anniversary Kit. I would suggest Lee dies as well. There a few things you'll need in addition to what any kit offers, but they'll have most of what you need to get started. The first thing you should get is a reloading manual, and read it. As for powder, a handgun cartridge uses a real fast powder, while bottlenecked rifle cartrisges need a much slower powder. There are quite a few powders that will work well in both the 243 and 30-06.

I still haven't been able to understand why people think they can shoot a gun and not expect some powder residue. I also don't understand what it hurts. Anyway, a couple of things I've learned is if I'm getting a LOT of residue, a heavier crimp often helps, as well as bumping up the powder charge a bit. More pressure usually provides a cleaner, more complete burn. I've also found that some lube used on lead bullets creates a mess when shot. This question is asked very often. Could someone tell me what the obsession with "clean burning powder" is? My air rifle can use a good cleaning after firing a lot of rounds. I expect a firearm to also need cleaning after prolonged use.

Disarmed in a traffic stop

Some would call it intimidation. -

...yet you seem to have no problem attributing this to anyone with a badge pinned to their chest? It defies logic to me. -
I'd probably tumble it, and shoot it pretty quickly. If left untreated, the rust will progress.
-
I can't really work up a strong opinion on this, pro or con. On one hand, it would be easier cleanup with the single shot rifle, but on the other, I would be just as well to dispose of my muzzleloader if this happened, as they will be worthless to me or most anyone else. I'm hunting early either way.
-
If it is just a stripped reciever, I believe I'd box it up and ship it without saying what it is. It isn't hazardous, flamable, perishable, or anything else they ask you.
-
Yes. If he's legal to own it, ship away!

Guns and Leather in Hendersonville did have some off brand stuff that was non corrosive, and had a really attractive price. It shoots great in my m44. Academy has some Russian stuff pretty cheap.

What changes would you like to see for 2013/14?

[quote name='dlm37015' timestamp='1355152169' post='857778'] did the law change i th0ught as long as you were not hunting on a wma centerfire was ok. i got checked this year and i was using a 300 blackout twra agent thought it was a neat rifle [/quote] From the TWRA webiste: [quote][url="http://www.tn.gov/twra/huntweapons.html"]http://www.tn.gov/tw...untweapons.html[/url][/quote] It has been this way long as I remember. You are allowed to shoot what they consider "furbearing animals" with a centerfire, but for some reason they do not include squirrels and rabbits as furbearers. Sorta pokes a hole in the safety issue if you ask me.
