Springs are springs. If you have a Harbor Freight anywhere nearby, they sell a box with a huge assortment of small springs. I got one of those several years ago and it has been worth it's weight in gold! I would be willing to bet that there is a spring in the box that will match what you need. If not, find one the right coil rate and diameter and clip it a little longer than you think you need. Then try it out.

If there was not a better candidate available, I MIGHT vote for him. His voting record demonstrates a mainstream Republican stance. I was not impressed. From the record he posted on his website, he is in favor of Federal meddling at all levels. He displays a lack of understanding of Constitutional restrictions on the Federal government. Fortunately, Ramsey is better on all issues.

There were certainly cameras in use at the time. I'll see if I can dig up a copy of the video. It may get posted to the TFA site later.

This was NOT a $300,000 house. An item is only worth what someone else is willing to pay. If nobody was willing to pay more than $170,000, then it was a $170,000 house. The common misconception is that you 'own' something on which you owe money. The only thing you 'own' is the liability. Only when the liens are paid off do you actually have the right to bulldoze it!

I've got one with about 600rds through it. Never had an issue with the pistol, so have no experience with customer service. Well-made, sturdy pistol that has been very reliable so far. OEM mags are made by Mec-Gar and are excellent. Aftermarket mags are great practice as they have FTF issues from time to time. A nice advantage of this pistol is that you can change to .38Super, .45acp, or .22lr by getting a different top-end kit from EAA. I have .22 and .38Super kits which are great. Each caliber needs it's own mags, though. You can get OEM mags directly from EAA for $25ea.

It looks like they did a site overhaul, and haven't quite worked the bugs out.

As a seller, you are obligated to only make sure that the buyer is a resident of TN, and that you don't know of any reason why they cannot legally buy a firearm. When I sell, I check the driver's license, and don't sell to anyone that I have a bad 'feeling' about.

When we had 10,000+ in front of the Capitol in Nashville last April, the news tried everything they could to marginalize us. BUT THEY COVERED IT!!! And the footage they took made lies of their claims of 'just a few thousand', 'white extremists', etc. Now, the Tea Party is recognized as an effective political force. It is time for Gun Owners to be recognized in the same light. That will only happen if we stand together in public.

The OP needs to get competent PROFESSIONAL assistance with this. In addition to the historical and family significance of this firearm, a legal MP-40 can be worth well over $10,000. An unregistered MP-40 is contraband unless: 1) It is in the National Firearms Registry. This can be proven by finding ANY proof of prior registration, or calling ATF and asking. 2) There is proof of prior legal ownership. If the serviceman brought it back from WWII, then he may have had paperwork permitting him to do this. This type of paperwork has been accepted as proof of prior legal ownership. Very few attorneys are competent to deal with the ATF on machine guns. This is the wrong place to ask. Go to Subguns.com and ask on the NFA forum.

Aguila used to be the Remington trademark for ammo made in their Mexico plant. I understand that Aguila is now independent of Remington. But it is still made to Remington specs.

Enfield headspace is easily adjusted by changing out the bolt head. The problem is going to be finding the proper bolt head for your rifle. Complicating the issue is that there are two basic models of Enfield. The #1 MKIII has the rear sight in front of the chamber, and the #4 has a peep sight at the rear of the receiver. The bolt head of #1 Enfields is not marked with the size. You just have to measure them. The #4 Enfields are marked with a small number from 0-4. If you have a #4, you just find the number and then buy a bolt head one size larger. Now the kicker; I do not know if the .308 Enfields use the same bolt heads as the very common parts for the .303 rifles. The real expert on these rifles is Brian Dick in SC. He can probably tell you pretty quickly what you will need, and is likely to actually have it. BDL LTD Rifles and Accessories

Of course, now that the Federal government owns GM, it's no wonder they are trying to do everything possible to sink their biggest competitor!

Not true. I got 'alerted on' in Dayton, OH with the swab. I had cased my uncleaned guns that morning, and there was enough residue that a swab on my hands picked it up. I merely pointed to my cased firearms next to me waiting to be checked in, and that was it. BTW, Dayton, OH airport has the best TSA in the country. I used to travel a LOT, and they were always professional, courteous, and efficient. Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit tie for worst.

That's a fair price. If you look around and are patient, you can probably do better. If you are planning to shoot it, I would suggest that you save a bunch of money and buy a SAR48 Heavy Barrel, or even an Israeli kit built on a quality receiver like DSA, Imbel, or Entreprise. That would be about half the cost or less. For all things 'FAL-related' I would suggest FALFiles.com.

Like anything else, there is a good side and a bad side to women who shoot. Good: Something you can do together. Fewer political arguments. Will be in favor of your reloading hobby. Will understand your frustration with Hollywood gun stupidity. Budgeting for a new safe, ammo, gun, holsters, etc is understood to be necessary. Bad: $100/month for HER ammo. The words "I like this CZ75 (SIG 239, XD9, etc)" mean it's now HERS. She shoots, you clean. She took 1st place in a match, you took 5th. Women usually have as many holsters as they do shoes. And have you priced holster purses?!!! She won't have just one! Still, I wouldn't trade my wife for anything. Even a fully-legal MG42 with all accessories and 50,000 rounds!!! (maybe 100,000)

Lt Governor Ron Ramsey was at the monthly TFA meeting in Hermitage last night. He was pretty much as expected; personable, polite, articulate. He talked about his support for Concealed Carry and other 2nd Amendment issues, reducing state spending, states rights, and stated that in his opinion, a state income tax is a dead issue. Lt Governor Ramsey answered questions ranging from "Was he still an auctioneer" (yes, and he demonstrated) to "What would he do if Feds ordered gun confiscation" (He said he would meet them at the border with state forces). He answered all questions in a forthright and confident manner. I am more convinced that he should be the next Governor of Tennessee, given his competition.He seems to have strong principles, assured us that he wasn't messin' around with anyone except his wife, and definitely has the gift of being able to disagree and stand by his beliefs without alienating people. He is a strong conservative, believing in limited government, protecting the rights of the people, rolling back entitlements, and limiting Federal influence and spending.

If you have moved to TN, then you can use proof of residence such as an apartment lease agreement and utility bill showing the TN address.

We have the wireless one for our Ridgeback. The great thing about it is that we can take it with us when we travel. The battery seems to last about 8 weeks, so we just mark it on the calendar so we don't run out of batteries when we need one. He can run to his heart's content, but when he hears that 'beep', he reverses direction! It beeps when he approaches the limit. When the limit is reached it gives a good, strong shock. About the same as touching the points of a nine-volt battery with a wet finger. The shock gets stronger if he doesn't return to the safe zone. Unlike the wire in the ground, the dog cannot run past the shock zone. Make sure you take off the collar BEFORE you 'go for a ride'! We made that mistake once. He almost wrecked the car when his collar beeped as we were leaving the driveway!

I have always bought ammo by the case. Much cheaper that way. I rarely sell it, but if I did, I would try to get the most for it that the market would bear. I bought a bunch of .308 for under $.10/rd ten years ago. If I sell it for $.50/rd today, is that evil? How so? My money was tied up for ten years. The dollar is worth a lot less than it was then, and ammo prices are much higher. Nobody is twisting your arm or sticking a gun in your ear forcing you to pay today's prices. You were just as free as I was to buy at the same prices I paid when I bought it. Likewise, if you don't like somebody's prices, don't buy it. That's why it's called a 'free' market. Today's 'hoarder' is what used to be called a 'speculator'. Same principle. They take risks with their own money in the hopes of turning a profit. If the price goes down, they lose money. Don't they also deserve to make money if the price goes up?

+1 That or a Browning semi-auto. For a non-auto choice, I'd get a Marlin 39a or Winchester 62a.

External extractors are cheaper to manufacture. Fewer machining operations. If properly designed and made, they work just fine.

I suspect that they are no longer a 'couple'.

Rhodesian Ridgeback. Keeps the 'welfare geese' off the property! (welfare geese - no good for anything, can't do anything with them, they have a bad attitude and crap all over everything.)

CAR-15 with .22 conversion kit. And Suppressor. Breaks down into a relatively small package if you need to conceal it. Versatile enough for any use from chipmunks to black bear and anything in between. If I need to bug-out, I would prefer to make my shots as quietly as possible!

If you MUST have a shorter barrel on it, look on GunBroker for a used barrel that has some dings. Changing the barrel on those Marlins is not a two-minute job, but it's not that difficult either.
