Oh, look! With just a few keystrokes I found some in stock for sale! http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&q=pmr-30+for+sale&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1142&bih=853&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=14175939907203715081&sa=X&ei=YYemT8XtBcja2wXSvrGmAg&ved=0CIYBEPMCMAA

I used to live in Durham County, NC in the late '80's. Even then it was known as having the worst cops in the state. The PD recruited straight from the gangs, and folks with light skin were seen as fair game for anyone. We soon learned not to bother calling the cops, but to just make sure everyone knew we were armed and willing to shoot. On the plus side, I bought a very nice Triumph Spitfire for $300 from someone who said it had engine problems. A bit of oil in the carb dashpots and it ran perfectly! You've gotta love SU carbs! I used to leave that car parked up on blocks with the wheels off so nobody would steal it, and so the fellow who sold it to us would think it still had problems and not take the car back. It was THAT kind of a place.

Capitol View Pawn near downtown used to do them for $10. I haven't used them in a couple of years, though.

Large, bulky pistol with LOUD muzzle blast. Marginally better ballistics than a .22Mag from the same barrel length. I'd like to see a comparison between the FiveseveN and the Keltec PMR-30. The FN holds 20rds, and the Keltec holds 30. Weight and size are very similar.

What does voting for someone have to do with trusting them? If you trust ANYONE you vote for, then you might want to re-examine your trust. Sure, you vote for the better of the choices given. But if you are not then also watching very closely, then you not doing your civic duty. Liberals would have you believe that voting is the end-all and be-all of citizenship. Wrong. It should be the culmination of a process of watching the candidates, voicing your opinions to them, asking the tough questions, and supporting those who get it right. And when the elction is over, you start the process all over again. Freedom certainly is not free, but the cost is a LOT less when people fight for it during local and state election cycles.

Anyone who wants to disarm you at any time and place is not doing it for YOUR safety. This is so logical and self-evident that most liberals cannot understand it.

Typical good job of reporting by the Tennessean. And they wonder why they continue to lose money with such gross ignorance.

Airflow should go only from the shooting stations to the backstop, then out. That will keep lead dust from being inhaled.

None of the carbines was all original. The Postal Meter was a true mixmaster with an aftermarket barrel. The Para GM stock looked like it may have been an aged aftermarket stock. It just didn't ring true to me. As said above, the prices realized were pretty absurd. I walked away without anything except a bit more sun tan.

Basically: Piston guns do not direct carbon back into the receiver, bolt, and carrier. Heat buildup is lessened as hot gasses do not get forced into moving parts. DI guns are more accurate due to fewer moving parts, lower recoiling mass, and no movement along the barrel. For your purposes, a piston setup is more hype than reality. You will likely never burn through 500rds in five minutes, melt handguards, or need to shoot a couple of thousand rounds without being able to clean your rifle.

For hanguns, I generally think that 5 is the minimum. For the guns I shoot most often, I have a lot more than that. I think that I have several dozen CZ-75 mags. Keep in mind that it is entirely possible that mags for your favorite pistol may be unavailable or vastly more expensive in the future. I have some collector handguns that I also shoot. I prefer to use non-matching or aftermarket mags in order to not risk damage to the original serial number matching mags. An original wooden-bottom, serial numbered pre-WWI Luger mag that matches your pistol is not something to take chances with. For new guns, a bit of shopping can sometimes lead to a pretty good savings in mag costs. Google found several places with Walther PPS mags for under $50 each. One source had 9mm 8rd mags for $38!

The sales tax is the only fair tax there is. You get to control exactly how much tax you pay. Don't want to pay any more tax? Don't buy the item or find a source other than retail. I don't send my elected representatives to the Legislature to spend my money. I send them there to figure out ways to spend less of my money and make the residents of Tennessee more free. And Linda Elam and Mae Beavers are aware of that. For the most part, they do a decent job of it. If your reps are not doing that, you need to make yourself known to them. If they still don't listen, make your neighbors known the them as well. And if they still won't listen, get new representatives.

Wow, she really needs a little coaching! Aggressive, forward-leaning stance. Bend the knees more to lower the center of gravity. And lean into the gun more under recoil, not away from it! Nice toys.

Yep. That's the saddest part of it. An act of desperation by a sad old man that never gained him anything, but lost him all of his friends.

Two sides with 45 degree inclines means it's easy to shoot longer or shorter ranges!! Mountains make excellent backstops, too!

Remember that was Hollywood, where they don't have to pay attention to reality. What they described in the movie would not have worked like they wanted it to. In the early 1900's, paper-patching was the highest technology for accuracy. It was only with the introduction of long, spitzer-point jacketed bullets that paper-patching lost favor. The jacketed spitzer is more efficient at longer ranges as it loses energy more slowly than a round-nosed bullet. Here is an interesting forum on high-velocity patched bullets: http://castboolits.gunloads.com/forumdisplay.php?f=62

He may have 'made millions', but if he's looking for a state job in order to get the health benefits, he certainly did't keep millions! And that brings up another point. I have to find it reprehensible that he is looking to stiff the taxpayers for his poor decisions. State meployees are suposed to give the taxpayers value for their money. And we are supposed to believe that Bob Pope will be able to give us enough value for the work he does on a made-up position to offset the salary plus benefits he will receive? I'm not buying that. And we should be telling our reps that they should not be buying it either!

They have seperate rifle and pistol ranges. You can use both with one admission. They have basic targets, but you will probably prefer to use your own. All ranges have post holes at various distances. The handgun range is 5, 7, 10, and 15 yards IIRC. You can also shoot .22 long-guns on the handgun range to get sighted in. The rifle range has post holes at various distances as well, with a max of 100 yards. They have two positions with a 200 yard max. If you want to use them, call first as they are usually already reserved.

Romney will be the Republican candidate. We can only hope that he will do better than McCain. If you trust Romeny, you are ignorant, stupid, or evil. His track record is entirely different than his rhetoric. He is a big-spending, big-government liberal. the best thing that can be said about him is that he is better than Obama. That's a VERY low standard to beat.

Ron Ramsey, Debra Maggert, and other key Republicans have decided that you cannot be trusted to have a firearm in your car if it is parked in a parking lot. The complete list: Representatives voting aye (voting to kill) were: Brooks H ®, Casada ®, Cobb ®, Dunn ®, Harwell ®, Haynes ®, Johnson P ®, Maggart ®, McCormick ®, McDaniel ®, McManus ®, Niceley ®, Ramsey ®, Roach ®, Sexton ® If your representative is on this list, I would ask them why they should go back to Nashville next winter since they obviously cannot tell that the right to defend your life is a higher priority than some corporations wish to keep people from leaving guns in their cars in a parking lot.

The receiver and barrel are original Mark I and correct for each other. It was arsenal rebuilt at Benicia Arsenal, probably prior to WWII. a very nice rifle, but not an unfired Mark I. As DMark said, it also does not have the original Mark I internal parts. From the M1903.com website: "The Mark 1 cutoff has a series of cuts on the inner surface which engage the Pederson device and lock it into the receiver. It works normally when used with the regular bolt. The spindle also has a different profile, and its head will have screwdriver cut at the back end. The Mark 1 sear has a separate inner piece, which moves in the opposite direction of the normal sear, to fire the Pederson device, while the regular sear works as usual with the normal bolt. The trigger is much the same as a normal trigger, but has a slightly different profile (a slight flat at the rear) to work with the Mark 1 sear."

The WWI-style grips are not a problem as long as they are quality and wood. That rear sight milling is the big detractor. I'd say it will take about a $100-150 hit because of that.

IF it is truly 'new' and not a rebuilt rifle, then it would be worth a lot of money. A LOT of the Mark I rifles have been arsenal overhauled and may look factory new, but are not. A re-arsenalled rifle is worth about $1000. Blue Book says more, but I'm going by what I have seen actually selling at auction and shows lately. Original Mark I rifles should have barrel dates of 1918-1919. There is a lot of information on these rifles on the 'net. After you look around at some of the specialized sites, if you still think that it's really new and not re-arsenalled, contact an expert. The one on the Cabelas site has a lacquered stock (Ugh), looks re-arsenalled, and is over-priced by about 80%. Typical for Cabelas.

The most valuable piece of property anyone has is their own life. It is not replaceable. When weighed against the very minor issue of a land-owner who prefers not to see guns, but cannot suffer any damages as a result of this bill, being able to defend your life is much more important. The right to defend your life trumps almost any other issue. I am sorry to see Bob use irrational arguments in order to curry favor with those who will use him for political gain.

Try a Taurus 941 UltraLite in .22 mag. From the factory, the trigger pull can be a bight stiff, but it can be esily lightened and smoothed out. Eight rounds of .22mag is nothing to sneeze at. Ruger also makes the LCR in a .22LR, 8-shot version. S&W makes the M351PD which is a 7-shot .22WMR. Charter Arms is just a six-shot, but it's stainless, model 72224 Pathfinder I'd be tempted to try out the Taurus or Ruger. The Ruger is only a .22lr, but it's very light and compact. If she can manage the trigger pull on the .38 LCR, the .22 should be lighter.
