  1. I might just be headed up to Franklin this weekend.
  2. Call Springfield. They will take care of it for you without taking your gun away.

    SIG 522

    I havent seen one in stock around town yet but I havent been out in a couple of weeks. As usual, all local dealers will be asking a fortune for them. But...ask RangeUSA to get you a price. They are usually the cheapest in town.
  4. The Shelby County Correctional Facility used to be known as the Penal Farm. It was called that because it was a self sustaining facility worked by the inmates. It is no longer self sustaining. They men in that facility have cable tv, enough workout equipment to stay fit and quite the library. They receive three meals a day (not steak but hell, i eat fast food anyways). And best of all, they get all of this by being a criminal. I however, have worked my entire adult life and stayed honest and only recently got to a place where I could afford things like cable tv. My idea of prison is not what we have now. Prisons should be self supporting and the inmates should be working. Instead of creating a lounging area for them, create an environment where they learn something that might help them out of prison. I don't care if it is farming, something mechanical, or whatever. Giving them a stay at the Ritz clearly isn't working so lets try something a little different.
  5. I meant the scar replica. I don't like glocks.
  6. When Midway did the email blast about their bags, I picked up the pistol bag and tactical rifle bag. I love those two and have decided to get the range bag too. My tactical rifle bag has 4 mag pockets on the outside but the outer two pockets are actually big enough to hold two mags so it actually holds 6 mags. Great products for less than 10 bucks!
  7. YES!!!!!!!!!!! I have been to the facility (back when it was Olive Group) and it is a really nice place. I cant wait. I am definitely going to this one!
  8. The best part of that article. If it is priced around 400 bucks, I will definitely be in the market for one.
  9. I have never had a gun that wouldn't stay in my hand with the stock grips. I guess I have sticky hands.
  10. I agree completely. After getting past the initiation fee, I can easily spend more than 20 bucks a month on range fees. And a nice indoor area would be awesome but I'm sure that it wouldn't be cheap.
  11. A sponsor is not necessary but there is a place on the membership application for references. I don't think its a big deal if you don't know anyone. The big thing for them is that you need to be able to pass the background check. If I got in, anyone should be able to. If you have anymore questions, pm me or post here and I will answer as best I can.
  12. Seems to be a recurring theme and a lot of people suggest a CCI break in period. Google it and see if it helps.
  13. I live in Memphis. 99% of the populace has no clue how to drive in ideal conditions. 100% of the populace has no clue how to drive in inclement weather. 1 snow flake can cause a massive interstate shutdown.
  14. really really fine sandpaper. since the serpa has the trigger guard lock, I have always wondered how effective it would be if you added a thin layer of fleece, moleskin or other smooth fabric to the inside.

    Kel Tec PMR-30

    Search this forum for another thread about it. Looks like a really fun pistol to me. Can't wait to check it out.
  16. I just joined in January. It cost me 530 dollars then and will cost me another 240 in June. Do I think its worth it? Yes. Would I say that if I owned land or we lived near some other outdoor ranges? Probably not. Sadly, around here, it's MSSA or nothing. I chose MSSA. Plus, the people there are very like minded and very safety minded. Its a comforting place to shoot and really does have something for everyone. Go out there and take a tour. Tell them you are thinking about joining and check the place out.
  17. Only been shot at. We were playing a prank on a friend on the 4th of july. We drove over towards his house and parked about a quarter mile down the road and walked over towards his driveway. We had one of the huge rolls of black cats in a paper bag and lit and threw it into the ditch in front of his house. We were cracking up as it went off when we started to hear much louder bangs and found out he was shooting at us cause he thought we were shooting at him. Sucked the fun out of it really quickly.
  18. If you get a metal group, I would love to have your polymer group.
  19. I just finished it. Took it all the way apart, reflowed the solder on the processors and a couple of other areas, put new thermal paste on it and then put it all back together. It didn't power on at first. Opened it back up and found a connection on the power supply that I missed. Got that plugged back up and it works now. he is going to take it home tonight and get all of his saves off of it and then he is giving it to me. yipee!
  20. I might have one. I just have to put it back together. A coworker has one of the original 60 gig units and it gave him the Yellow light of death. he bought a new one and told me that if I could fix the old one, I could have it. Im giving it a go. I should know by the end of the day.
  21. Yep. I only have the playstation for 6 months while my brother in law is deployed. So i am trying to cram as much play time in as I can.
  22. Im on alot more than everyone else and we hardly ever played together. I met some guys on one night from Knoxville and joined up with them. We play with the clan tag [sCAT]
