  1. I used to get most of my plinking ammo from TN Cartridge Co that was sold at TN Gun Country, they have stopped selling it now and I am looking to do some stocking up for an upcoming weekend of shooting in Memphis. It is the remanufactured ammo in the orange boxes with white writing. Does anyone know where I can find this ammo at in the Clarksville/Nashville area?
  2. UPDATE This rifle is complete now and looks great, Brandon is working up some loads and we should be shooting it this weekend. I'll post pictures up after our trip to Memphis with it. Also keep an eye out for pictures of the Howa 1500 in 300 Blackout finished in Multi-cam.
  3. He's trying too hard. I couldn't watch it all, I started to get irritated.
  4. Well I think I'm going to give the Bushnell a go, it seems to have good reviews in other places as well and I can't bring myself to have my wife spend the 400 I found an Aimpoint R-1.
  5. Well I guess I have to go with another place anyways because BoTach isn't showing it's available. Bummer because locally I found one at TN Gun Country for 169$, with my discount there I'd be just under 170$ out the door. I'll look into the Bushnells, I have them on my promotive discount account.
  6. My wife is wanting to get me something for my birthday and I can't think of anything, but I did find a Sig Sauer STS-081 for $89.95 from BoTach Tactical. I was thinking of replacing my EOTech with one of these. Anyone bought anything from BoTach Tactical? Anyone using one of these, and are they worth a damn? Edit...Add Link http://www.botachtactical.com/sigsastmired.html
  7. I had a variable powered Leupold 3.5-10x40 Mark IV on mine and for close range stuff I had a Docter sight on a 1 o'clock rail next to the sight.
  8. I've got a full issue of PMags (15) and about 2 dozen H&K magazines that I've acquired over the last few years, but I still use my old school mags with the old green follower. I've got about 20 or so that have always been reliable and until those start to fail me I won't be switching. So far they have lasted through 6 trips to 5 countries and countless training events. Nothing wrong with the Circle Kay or old Colt mags.
  9. Sadly the person who ends up buying it will be a younger person who is just getting into shooting and doesn't know the true value. I've seen and heard of plenty of guys that have been ripped off because they didn't do their homework.
  10. Thank ya'll. I like doing this kind of stuff, the camo patterns are my favorite. You never know how it's really going to look until it's completed. I'll have to get some pictures up here to show you what I mean...The rifle I'm working on now is a surprise for the individual so I may not be able to post pictures until after, but they will get up here. The 6.5 had to go back before I could get any rounds through it. Brandon was able to do the test fire for me though, he likes that kind of stuff. I do the work he gets to play with it.
  11. Here are some of my latest projects that I've got done. I've been experimenting with color mixing to get some of what you see here. This is a GA Precision AR-10 in 6.5 Creedmoor that was done in a 2-tone flat dark earth and darkened flat dark earth. I later went back and made the dust cover match the rest of the rifle and didn't think to take any more pictures. Next up is my Remington 870 with the Talo stock set on it. I've been wanting to match one of the colors in the digital pattern for a while now and just got the time finally. I went with the lightest color on the stock set to match. I may redo it in one of the darker colors, it was a mix of coyote tan and desert verde (this one is more green than tan, I like it). I will be refinishing the mag tube in black as well, for now it is the factory finish. Here is the before and after. Before After Lastly, this Springer came to me after having been all over the US getting work done to it, it's been dimpled by a guy out west and hand fitted by another individual. It was originally all semi-polished stainless and it left me in a graphite black, still shoots smooth and true. Also I'm planning on making a photo box for future projects, and I'm experimenting with some "flair" in the pictures with it. Also if I have any other future projects I'll probably just add them to this, and as a teaser I've currently got a Howa 1500 in 300BO that is getting it's new skin right now, this one is a project though. Enjoy, Chris
  12. I'm taking classes right now, 5 hours a day 5 days a week. I already did a 6 month stint learning it, doing a refresh 6 years later. It's not that hard to read and understand the squiggles. Language is already mandatory in high school, at least it was at the high school I went to.
  13. I was a plumber for about 3 years, I did commercial and residential. With both I did rough-ins, finish work as well as service. I had been going to work with dad on the weekends from the time I was 9 until I started at 16. For my Uncle's company, I have seen him quote $2500 for doing all the plumbing in a Great Clips, that's removing all existing plumbing, installing all new fixtures, running all the pipes (copper at the time), and all sewer lines. I think $3500 is way out there. At the company my dad works for, we charged $110 for the first hour, $85 for every hour after that plus parts for service calls. That wasn't too terrible for people, we only did service on homes we were contracted to build and this was in Cincinnati, OH.
  14. I enjoyed shooting this Craig, I just have to remember not to put my sausages in the way of the toggle when closing. My trigger finger wasn't too happy with me. It was a great shooting rifle and held some extremely tight groups with the suppressor from the off-hand position....then again it was me shooting it.
  15. I've had several traded to me for work done or money owed, some of these include 4x Ruger 10/22's, Phoenix Arms HP22, Star BM, Rossi M88 & M972. As far as what I've paid for... FIE Little Ranger, bought for $60, refinished for free, worth about $80 or so... Sig P226, bought for $175 and a Surefire weapon light, in great condition. Enfield No 2 Mark 4, bought for $135, serial places it in late 1942, still had packing grease under the action Heritage Rough Rider .22lr, bought for $150 new Blued Colt Python 4", bought for $700, serial places it from 1980 I've traded _____________ for __________ A laser for a Ruger Super Blackhawk and a Puma M92 both in .454/.45lc, I think I came out on top An older EOTech for a Remington 870, about even I think my collection is pretty well rounded and I've gotten some pretty good deals.
  16. 1. Ruger / Colt 2. Sig 3. Beretta / Springfield 4. RIA 5. Uberti 6. Walther 7. Heritage 8. Rossi 9. Star 10. Davis / Phoenix / F.I.E. 11. Charter Arms ***Forgot a couple***
  17. It does, at least it shoots as well I can shoot it. I had a the chance to handle a Springfield Operator, it wasn't a loaded with a full rail, but it made my RIA feel like a HiPoint. I think if I run across a Springfield Operator Loaded with a full rail I'll be thinking real hard about making my wife mad again.
  18. RIA calls it their 2011 tactical single stack series. I think this is the link you need to get to it, they do have a double stack version also: http://www.armscorus...&id=9&Itemid=20
  19. I get made fun of because of the workout music I listen to. It's usually a compilation of Hank Sr, Jr and III, Waylon, Willie, Jerry Reed and a little southern rock. I enjoy it, it's not the most fast paced music out there, but then again it's what I listen to all the time.
  20. Can't go wrong with a good set of metal Troy or Yankee Hill Machine sights. I prefer the metal sights over the plastic magpul sights, to each their own.
  21. I'm finally to the point on the outside of this 1911 where I'm done. I still have a Cylinder & Slide sear and disconnector to put in. The trigger is a nice, crisp 5.5lbs, but I'd like it better around 3.5lbs. Eventually I'd like to throw in either a Barsto or Kart barrel, this one shoots fine for now though. There are some other fitting things that will get knocked out as time passes as well. Here is what I'm working with: RIA 1911 Tactical 2011 Factory grip & thumb safety Wilson Combat oversized magazine release Raasco Dymondwood grips Wilson Combat extended slide stop Novak Extreme Duty night sights EFK Firedragon compensated bushing Smith & Alexander mainspring housing magazine well Chip McCormick 10 round magazine Here's what I've done: Fitted mag well and compensated bushing polished the following: trigger, hammer, magazine release, slide stop, thumb safety, compensator, slide, screws, mainspring housing pin Backfilled the sight's dovetails and contoured them to the slide Cerakoted frame, mag well/mainspring housing, grip safety, compensator and slide in Graphite Black Removed the RIA engraving from slide Final product:
  22. I currently drive 50 minutes one way to work, leaving work is another story...it takes on average a hour and 20 minutes to get back to my house. I've looked into moving closer, but the traffic isn't any better no matter what part of town I live in. Try looking for a closer house that still fits all the needs your current house provides.
  23. Sorry to disappoint. There are some things that even I would question.
  24. Stopped by TN Gun Country and they said that where the classes are held is behind their building. Tailored Defense is not associated with TN Gun Country.
  25. The shop on Salem Rd....is it this? http://www.tailoredd...om/indoor_range ... if so, that's new to me. ***This place is apparently associated with TN Gun Country. The address for their classes at Tailored Defense is the same at TN Gun Country.
