the fact that it was a very first shot is suspicious to me. So lets get it straight, it wasnt the ammo, and there was no barrel obstruction.......so did daffy duck jump up and stick his finger in the barrel? of course im making light of a situation where the owner wouldnt own up to an ammo issue even if that is the most likely reason. Especially in front of other men at the range. No way the ego would let him admit it could be HIS fault

dont know the situation, but I would guess a barrel obstruction has something to do with this. Even mud, dirt, anything to allow pressure buildup could do it.

I am interested to hear about the recoil spring. Mainly because Khar offered that as the first corrective action. Maybe they have knowlege of this problem already. Seems to me you have done the standard checks, mags, ammo, now springs. if that doesnt work, i'd be shippin it to Khar

before we get delete happy here maybe we can hash this out a little without it being a true "what it worth" thread. This is not against the rules unless you are trying to sell it without paying to be a benefactor member. Now as for the pistol. These are hard to come by, but not a collectors item or anything. A series I, means that it does not have the Swartz firing pin safety mechanism. But whats more rare is that its a Series I and compact. The only comp I could find was one that sold on Gunbroker in March for $705 Kimber Compact Custom 45 Parkerized SERIES 1! : Semi-auto at GunBroker.com. So I would try to stay on the upper end of your price window mentioned, maybe even a little higher. But if it were me, I'd just keep it, great gun. Is it Parkerized or Stainless?

true true, unfortunately in heavily timbered areas like tennessee you can imagine why it was so unsucsessful. But dont get me wrong if they called needing and extra gunman, I would be ALL over it!!! Great fun there I dont see how that is going to help. Especially with large landowners that lease property for hunting. We manage over 250,000 acres on the plataue and Cumberland Mountains all of which would not fall under the "landwoner" classification. I can garuntee that our clients (the actual landowners) are not going to call TWRA and Authorize all of our hunt leases. I dont know maybe being the leasor exempts you from having to call. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

3.18 technically, but some courses may be a tad long or shorter due to logistical matters such as a good finish line spot.

What pocket holster? I've see OS's in person just checkin other options

Ok after doing some calling, i found what the change is supposed to be. From what I am told they are going to remove the Wild Hog from the Big Game classification. There is no limit on most counties and season is only regulated if you hunt with dogs, otherwise it's open year round. You still cannot hunt at night or with bait, which again are the two biggest factors allowing the populations to continually increase. But alas I am a forester, no a wildlife biologist, my knowledge of the matter is limited and mostly opinion

LBL and Fort Cambel play by different rules. But for the rest of the state, i have no idea. I haven't actually heard of any reg changes directly from TWRA, just through the grapevine. Time will tell. Maybe the changes were only for Units A & B, I'm not sure.

Front or back pocket?

Yeah i know, I have talked to several game wardens and got the same lack of a good answer. I did however hear that they(TWRA ) approved the loosening of the regulations. I'm not sure to what degree though, maybe no limits. If you ask me, they should allow bait. Hogs are so nocturnal that hunting them in the day is a challenge. If we could use bait that would go along way to eliminating the high numbers. I know this poses a loophole for baiting deer, but at least allow it outside of whitetail season.

Haha so true Also true, sorry, back to your previously scheduled thread

Yes please, do tell. Idiocy of this magnitude needs to be spread throughout the countryside

Yeah if they want them all dead, just tell TWRA to loosen the rules. Allow night hunting, no limit, no license, allow bait. They are non-native and very destructive. But they can't make money doin that now can they?

Fentress, Overton, Morgan, Putnam counties have a bad problem. And no, the ones trying to get rid of the hogs are not trapping them. Over a property we manage on the fentress/overton county line The USFWS did a fly over in a helicopter last fall herding them and shooting them from a door gunner. as you can imagine that wasn't too successful as shooting a pig rom a moving helicopter is a daunting task even for a great marksman. But that's the govmint using our tax dollars wisely once again. I have spoke with al land owner that has killed over 80 hogs last year just in his field. Thats a pretty bad problem I'd say

And even if he uses it in a crime, your not liable unless they can prove 1) that you sold it to him 2) that he was not legally eligible to buy a gun and you knowingly sold it anyway So as long as he didn't say " i can't buy a gun legally can I buy yours?" your fine, rest easy

Big Ridge state park, in Anderson/Union counties. Frozen head is great, about 45 min drive from knoxville, maybe a little longer (construction zone 45 mph strictly enforced)

I believe that, maybe it's their shooting technique, 'from the hip' is never good for accuracy

I would try the CO-OP, Tractor Supply, or Mayo's Garden Supply. In that order. the non-box stores ususally have the non deluted stuff, unless its really powerfull in which you might need an applicators license. of course you can buy without a license just dont tell anyone what your spraying.

You can broadcast for dove fields, the key is to cover with at least 1" of soil. This will prevent birds from stealing seeds as well as allow seeds to germinate properly. If you had a corn planter, that would be ideal because you could set spacing and depth, but most hunters don't have these. You might need to use a herbicide for broad leaf competition depending on what was growing there before discing. Also I would consider fertilizer, this will help them mature properly. Hope this helps

Probably renowned as the best holster money can buy. You have to order early in the month, they only take some many. And the wait is pretty lengthy but I believe would be well worth it.

I sent you a message but will post here as well. I carry about 85% of the time in a DM Bullard Bodygaurd. Bodyguard Holster - D.M. Bullard Leather Mfg. It has been great, I like the 4 o'clock carry, conceals well, and is comfortable. Its high ride design definelty demands a good belt, i have one from The Beltman, but Bullard makes a good belt as well.

Hell, I'd give it a shot, I can swim. I aint scared
