  This x1000.   I've long thought that my local Wally might get in 2 or 3 boxes of .22 bulk packs a week. When they have 10 in stock, sell a few, then get a few in to refill the stock, it all works fine. When the shelves are bare and they get those same 2 or 3 in, they get snapped up and the shelves remain bare. Eventually the guys snapping up 5000+ at a time will (1) have a stockpile they're comfortable with and stop buying more or (2) have sold to everyone willing to buy from them at crazy prices and stop buying more. The question is how long until both of those things come true?

but...but....Glenn Beck...but...WND...but....     Seriuosly though, I'd like to know if that's true more-or-less across the board with ammo manufacturers. I don't know ATK's sales mix, so gov't contracts might be a small part of their production, but a major part of company X, who was a major civilian supplier but now isn't. I really don't know, just wondering.

+1 for Chip Cain. Standup guy. When I'm ready to take the NFA plunge he'll be doing my trust. bonus: He's a TGO Authorized Vendor that helps keep this place going.     Patrick Stegall is a TGO Benefactor and an attorney. He does NFA trusts too and he's in Memphis, so closer to you than Chip in Nashville. http://www.tngunowners.com/forums/user/8320-stegall-law-firm/

3" looks good.   Question: Does anyone know what about these guns makes them illegal in California? If I thought you could have anything in the PRC, I thought for sure it'd be a .38 revolver.

mmmmmm....lead paint.....everywhere....   I'd guess that removal of that and probably a boat load of asbestos will set the buyer back some money.

  Maybe not, but at least one Lousiana bear crossed it to get to Mississippi. http://www.cwreplicas.com/onward/bear_facts.html  

Black panther.

+1 to what smithra89 said.   The way I understand it, look for the same things you'd look for in any old rifle. Cracks in the wood, heavy corrosion in the throat, rifling, things like that.   Generally speaking, hex receivers are better than round receivers*, all others things being constant. I think that's because hex's are older and were made when the factories could take their time and do it right. As the war went on they had to increase production with the corner-cutting measures that came along with that. I have a 1930's hex (don't recall the year) and a fellow TGOer got a 1940's round one at the same time. When we were cleaning them up, we noticed heavy tool/lathe marks on the outside of his barrel while mine was smooth. It doesn't affect the shooting, but it's a symptom of the overall degradation in quality when they had to start cranking them out like crazy. In other words, if you're picking between 2 or more that all look/feel about the same to you, take the older one. If you like it, then you can start worrying about things like the factory markings and specific years. You'll feel the urge to have at least one from each factory....it's a disease.       *If you're not sure of the difference, Google it and you'll see examples of hex and round receivers.

    You saw Dog the Bounty Hunter?

They are crazier than an outhouse rat.

Come on now...you gotta tell us where this was....   :)

All gone. Everything shows Out of Stock.

  You're preaching to the choir.

"Intent to go armed" is in some of our TN state statutes. It is is none of the federal laws that come to mind.   Federal facilities are covered under 18 USC § 930 and have some exceptions to the no firearms law. One exception that may make a legal grey area is the phrase "or other lawful purposes". To my knowledge, HCPs don't count, but I don't know (nor would I know) of any challenges to that.*   US Postal facilities are not covered under either TN state law nor US title 18. The USPS gets to play by their own rules which are in Title 39 instead of Title 18. Title 39 does not have the "other lawful purposes" phrase. It makes 1 exception and 1 exception only.    http://cfr.vlex.com/vid/232-1-conduct-postal-property-19777182     . Note that this includes "postal property". That includes parking lots at the post office.   By and large, the federal laws on this are clear and that dog bites hard.     *I know the parks service allows carry based on the state's laws in which the park, or that portion of the park, is located. The buildings where actual real US NPS employees work are automatically considered federal facilities and are off-limits. They're pretty good about posting them, but I don't think they have to do that to make them off-limits. Other buildings are OK, like snack shops operated by a contractor. I assume that all federal buildings are the same. They post them for our benefit, but posted or not, they're still no-go areas. I could be very mistaken on that assumption. I don't know the USC as well as I do the TCA, which is sometimes questionable itself about how well I know that one.

Hopefully some zombies. That would be an improvement.

  FIFY! :up:

Why would he need another one?

Well done. It does look stock. I'd bet anyone seeing the mags would think those are some kind of handles. :up:

Yeah....and you're likely to need it too.

You could call the Knoxville field office of F-Troop and ask what  they think. http://www.atf.gov/field/nashville/fo-tennessee.html

I think there's a no-fly zone in effect right now over the area. I presumed it was to A keep news choppers away and B clear the skies for surveillance drones. Just because we haven't heard about them doesn't mean they aren't there.

Some small businesses use it exclusively. I've gone looking for some restaurant sites only to find them only on Facebook.

I will never go to Prince Hot Chicken Shack (it's not Prince's). Their health scores usually suck and a recent post on the TripAdvisor travel forum (not the reviews...more like a regular forum) for Nashville had a visitor report that she was there when a fight broke out in front. a few minutes later one of the participants comes in waving a handgun around looking for the other dude. What a great way to showcase our city....  :(   I'll stick to Hattie B's....I'll have to try Bishop's.     For all you hot chicken lovers out there, there's a hot chicken festival in East Park on July 4th. http://mchcf.blogspot.com/

2 in one day. It must be your birthday or something!  :up:   You have about 87 minutes to make it a single-day hat trick.
