NYC gun charges dropped. Now I can Speak
peejman replied to JG55's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
I agree. In the OP, the guy intentionally brought his guns with him. That was dumb. If something happens beyond your control and you end up there, that's something else entirely. If that happened to me, I'd certainly be talking to someone with TSA, the airline, and likely the local cops. Seems like attempting to explain the situation up front might help your cause. But maybe not. I do agree there's a hole in the law that can bite and otherwise law abiding citizen in the arse. The only real way to fix it is (unfortunately) litigation. -
Me thinks someone is compensating for something...

Any guess as to how deep the pitting is? Can you take a close-up pic of it? If you push a fine point pen over the pits, can you feel them? Can you view the pits under a magnifying glass? If so, are they jagged or smooth in appearance? I'd guess the Cerakote process would effectively hide what I'd consider "minor" pitting. The blasting should smooth them out and the paint will fill them in, to an extent. If functional is all you're after, Cerakote is a good choice. I'd also assume that their price includes all the typically exposed parts, though I'd call to verify. Sometimes you can reduce the cost by disassembling it yourself.

NYC gun charges dropped. Now I can Speak
peejman replied to JG55's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
Exactly what part of "Do NOT take your gun to NYC" is confusing? Read this... Supreme Court refuses to hear appeal of traveler who wants to sue Port Authority following arrest in N.J. on gun charges | NJ.com -
The regulations here are WAY more complicated than they should be. Any centerfire cartridge, pistol or rifle is legal in rifle season. There's archery and muzzleloader only periods, no shotguns at all. Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency - For Hunters I also know good Knoxville area and Rogersville area realtor. If you decide you like those areas, I'll send you info. As a buyer, I don't see any reason not to use a realtor. You're generally not the one paying them, the seller is. Given that you're moving to a very unfamiliar area, I think renting for a while is a good idea. We enjoy relatively low utility rates in this area thanks to TVA. Any house that's "in the country" will most likely be on septic, and depending on how far out you are, well water too. When I was selling my house near Kingsport, I had to provide average utility costs as part of the advertising package.

Looks nice, but google finds a number of mixed reviews. Seems like a polished WASR.

Sounds like you've narrowed it down. Bad fuel, gunked up injectors, cam lobes worn off, ... I'm sure there's a civic forum out there with resident experts to help. As for checking the fuel pressure... sure you can. Typically there's a schrader valve somewhere on the fuel rail. The auto parts store will have a gauge for it (they may let you borrow it). Seems like a bad TPS or CPS (or any other sensor) would throw a code and turn the light on.

Personally, I would never use someone else's reloads. $0.20/rd compared to $0.50/rd sounds like a great savings until you blow up a $500+ gun with no recourse. If you plan to shoot a lot, do your own reloading or buy in bulk.

Background check vs. gun registration
peejman replied to littlerivermike's topic in 2A Legislation and Politics
To my knowledge, the background check doesn't include the s/n of the firearm. Only the FFL has that information, and they're not required to retain it for an extended period of time. -
Buying a box, wal-mart. Buying a case... lots of online places.

Beat me to it! First thing that came to mind when I read the thread title.

Just depends on how bad you want to reload it. Most of the surplus (spam can) stuff has a corrosive berdan primer. While berdan primers can be removed, it ain't the easiest thing to do. What Mike suggests is a good option or Privi Partizan makes some soft point ammo... Prvi Partizan PPU 7.62x54R 150grn SP 20rd Box Looking a little further, there's several hunting rounds available...

WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN A GET TOGETHER IN BLOUNT COUNTY?
peejman replied to a topic in Events and Gatherings
Interested. A weekend afternoon is typically best. It'll be a crap shoot with the weather this time of year. You can't be sure what it'll be like tomorrow, much less a month from now. I'd prefer it NOT be the last weekend in Feb. That's my young'uns b'day (26th). -
There is effectively no difference between 0W20 and 5W30 in our climate. That said, I wouldn't go any higher than 5W30 in it. The synthetic oil is pricey, but when you consider the typical 10k mile change interval, it's not so bad. Having just looked... Advance Auto has a store brand full synthetic 5W20 for $4.79/qt. If, by chance, you're not familiar with what 5W30 or 0W20 really means, read this... HowStuffWorks "What does the weight mean on a can of motor oil?"
-
The waiting can be very frustrating... been there, done that. It's a fine line to walk between being a pest (or appearing desperate) and simply being professional when delays happen and repeated follow-ups are necessary. Hang in there. Having worked in the auto industry for 7 years, I'd consider it a last resort.

I just finished off a bottle of Bushmills. Very nice. I'll trust you fine folks will give me plenty of recommendations for my next trip to the store in a few days.

You'll have to steer well clear of the metro areas to find something like that. People tend to want $2000+/ac for 60deg sloped mountain sides around here. You might find something like that in upper east TN (the far east, as we call it). I used to live there, and loved it. There's lots of really pretty country around... generally anything east of Lebanon, IMO. As for the best way to see it... lots and lots of driving. Find an area you like? Ask. Seems like we've got members from virtually everywhere who'll provide honest opinions.

$9 Gallon Gasoline Will Crash World Economies If WW3 Starts: Greg Hunter
peejman replied to a topic in General Chat
Our dependence on foreign oil will end when they run out of oil. Would you rather use up our own reserves before, or after that happens? -
$9 Gallon Gasoline Will Crash World Economies If WW3 Starts: Greg Hunter
peejman replied to a topic in General Chat
Based on the chart below, it would seem that fuel prices were unusually low through the 90's and have simply corrected. It's foolish to think our administration has any influence on gas prices. As the world's primary consumer, you 'd think we have some control, but the guys who own the wells hold all the cards.

$9 Gallon Gasoline Will Crash World Economies If WW3 Starts: Greg Hunter
peejman replied to a topic in General Chat
Gas already is nearly $9/gallon in many places in Europe. We enjoy relatively low prices here. -
Sounds neat. I'll be curious to hear how it turns out.

If my choice, Marlin all the way.
