Feinstein and Bloomberg seemed almost giddy this morning that this terrible tragedy took place. I don't know about you all, but I consider people who try to profit politically as well as financially from the folks who have lost their children and loved ones little better than the shooter himself. Hell isn't hot enough for either.

I didn't really expect to find them on sale, but I would like to locate one I can get my hands on.

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.

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!

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.

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.

  Thanks for attempting to explain. I guess I'm thickheaded, but it would seem this ruling is in opposition or the states having authority to regulate firearms. It seems to me that Illinois was already "regulating firearms".

Can this be overturned, and could you please summerize the opinion for us mere mortals? Could this mean the end of carry permits?

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.
