Hello, Who knows the schedule of HCP classes at Knox County Sheriff Regional Training Center? I could not find a link on their web site. How to register and pay for their class? Thanks in advance

I would appreciate a link to surplus 7.62x25. I can suggest to split a tin in East Tennessee. Is anybody interested?

Buying Zastave M-57 keep in mind: These are beautiful guns but not practical at all. Zastava build them from carbon steel, not chrom steel as Russian TT-33. I did "tomato" test on M-57 a month ago. The frame, slide and the barrel failed the test. It means that the bore will be dark after about 200 rounds and pitted after about 2000 rounds. The locking circular grooves on the barrel will wear much faster than these on original TT-33. However with surplus 7.62x25 not available anymore, all Tokarevs become just a beautiful pieces of history. Metallurgy troubles of former Yugoslavia should not bother you

Try Nov 5th Knoxville Expo center off Clinton highway. Best time Saturday late afternoon when the dealers got all trade ins

I would be interested as well. TT-33 was in production from 1934 till 1952. In 1952 the equipment was transferred to China. Chinese Tokarev made before 1960 is exact copy of TT-33. Soviet Union also granted licences for production to Hungary, Poland, Romania and Korea. Hungarian and Polish TT are of good quality. Later in 1957 Yugoslavia designed their M-57 based on Tokarev schematic. However it is different gun with no parts compatibility. Original Tokarev has no external safety, no magazine safety and no guide rod. Soviet, Chinese, Hungarian and Polish TT are capable to shoot Czech 7.62x25 ammo intended for sub-machine-gun

S@W is extremely resistant to corrosion. The slide and barrel are stainless. There are not much openings in a gun to let corrosive substance in. If you are in performance sports, be aware that human sweat can ruin a gun almost like salt spray. S&W is one of a few weapons that survive contact with the sweat.

What .22 ammo runs best in your converted Glocks? What is FTF and FTE rate?

You would never believe in these facts known to every senior WalMart manager The maximum volume of the sale is generated by bananas The maximum margin (profit to price ratio) is generated by bottled water There are goods that generate minimum or no profit but still offered to keep more customers coming I bet they have guns and ammo to have you buy their bananas and bottled water

Hello all, My question is to somebody who own G-20 and G-22. Can you put G-22 barrel into G-20? If so, does it tilt and lock the slide? If so, can G_20 slide run .40S&W round into the chamber of G-22 barrel? If so, do you know the headspace in such setup? I know, that conversion barrels exist. I'd like to know if they are any different from G-22 barrels

Adjustable sights do not exist for type 54/ TT-43 for a good reason. The 7.62x25 cartridge is very powerful. The bullet is relatively light: 85 gr. The trajectory is flat. The gun is sighted for 25 meters. My one was sighted really well. The point of impact in relation to the point of aim is almost the same at 10m, 25m and 50m. I would not do any better with adjustable sights. May be better shooter can benefit of them

Isopropyle alcohol known as HEET fuel line deicer clears corrosive residue. Hoppes clears alcohol in couple passes of the patch. No need for any water. Important thing is not to expose a gun with corrosive residue to any humidity. I spray WD-40 at the range and clear as soon as possible.

Call Brett 706-473-5770. It was expensive. It was well done. It was fast and professionally done. Not a single nail on my driveway

I have 8 mm 1029 steel for backplate. It stops any pistol bullet. It can not handle multiple hits from 7.62x39 rounds. I load the tray with paper

I'd like to share the pictures of the bullet trap. It is portable. The legs can be removed and installed without tools. However it takes 2 strong man and a truck to move this thing. According to my calculation only 16% of the steel work to deflect the bullet. All the rest serves to hold the main plate in place. I wonder if somebody has better design?

Thanks everybody, I have them

There is no such manufacturer as "Baikal" Baikal is the trade name invented by European American Armory (EAA) for imported firearms. Some of them have outstanding quality, some are complete junk. Here is a link to the official site of Ishevsky Mechanichesky Zavod, the real manufacturing plant, part of the Russian National Defence Industry. IZHMASH JSC official site Another reputable manufacturer is Tulsky zbroja plant Tulsky Oruzheiny Zavod. If you do not see "Baikal" gun there, do your research before you buy. Otherwise you can get a gun made in Vietnamese bike shop

I've bought C 995 out of curiosity. I wanted to try straight blowback carbine, but could not afford Beretta Storm. I did not have any malfunctions. I like the trigger pull. After 1000 rounds I found no visible wear on the rifling. AK-47 shows the wear after 1000 rounds. I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy. The minimal number of moving parts also contributes to high reliability. The only bad thing about C 995, I can not mount a scope. There is no mounting point integral with the barrel/receiver. I consider C 995 smartly designed and reasonably built from high quality steel and alloy.

New era The Renaissance brought all technical solutions that were necessary to make a modern firearm. The Renaissance itself ended with revolutions; industrial and others. Industrial revolution means mass production. Mass production means that the things on high demand beceme the subject of competition between manufacturers and therefore cheap. And what was on high demand in turbulent world of XVIII century? Guns of course. At that point of history a science became a significant contributor to commercial success. The expenses of design and development could be offset by selling of technically advanced weapons. The new era began in 1805 when Reverend John Forsyth of Aberdeenshire, Scotland invented the percussion system of ignition, receiving a patent in April 1807. As opposed to sparks being flaked into a small powder charge, the percussion cap contains pressure-sensitive explosive, a chemical compound which explodes when it is struck, hence the term "percussion cap". The percussion cap was a thin metal cup that contained a small quantity of fulminate of mercury. When a hammer fell onto the cap, the cap would explode with a sharp blow and sent flames into the barrel, igniting the powder charge and expelling the bullet from the gun. The percussion cap would be placed on the cone at the breech (back) end of the gun. In the process of firing, the cap generally split open and would fall off when the hammer was moved to half-cock position for loading. The caplock system worked well, and is still the preferred method of ignition for hunters and recreational shooters who use muzzle-loading guns. Why so small device had such tremendous effect? Percussion gun was not even faster to load than a flintlock. A shooter had to carry percussion cups in addition to the bullets and gunpowder. Percussion cup was the solution for the most important shortcoming of previous firearms: reliability. When a man of Renaissance pulled a trigger of a flintlock gun, a shot was a matter of luck. With caplock gun, the shot became the matter of fact. The cup sealed the ignition hole. Neither wind, not a rain could disturb firing. The firearms became the all weather weapon. A cuplock gun can fire in any position. The guns with multiple barrels were known since midevals. However cuplock system gave a gun designer much more optuons to build multibarrel guns. Up to the invention of the percussion cap system, where the ignition charge was self-contained and only required a sharp strike, gunpowder pistols were direct relatives of their rifle parents. Elisha Collier patented a flintlock revolver in Britain in 1818, however insufficient reliability of this and similar guns prevented them from being the weapon of shoice. The revolver mechanism was sometimes used in rifle design. The difficulty of this approach is that the hot gas that leaks from the gap between the cylinder and barrel can burn the shooter's forward hand. Samuel Colt did not invent a revolver. In 1836, he patented a revolver mechanism that really worked. It had cuplocks and had to be loaded a bit like muskets: the user poured powder into a chamber, rammed down a bullet, then placed percussion cups into the cylinder. The main advantage of Colt's design was location of the percussion cups. After firing a shot, the fragments of the percussion cap could not jam the mechanism. Revolvers proliferated partially due to Colt's ability as a salesman. But his influence spread in other way as well; the build quality of his company's guns became famous. The performance and reliability led to the widespread use of the revolver. To be continued

I can not believe nobody can install the gutters nowadays. People come, quote, promise ... and never show up for the real work I'm ready to pay $800 for 180 feet of seamless gutters installed on my house Anybody know reliable professional who is not overbooked with other orders? Regards

I've bought a house with a yard in really bad shape. I do not like to cut the trees. I'd rather replant them to the right places. I'm looking for a professional(s) who can do it for a reasonable price. I do not mind to rent equipment and do the job myself I would appreciate any suggestions. I made several photos and can send them for estimate Regards Grey

Hello All, I just bought a house. I need to repair the roof and install new gutters. I'm looking for a professional who can do the job right and do not rub me at the same time. I do not mind to rent equipment and do the job myself. I would appreciate any suggestions Regards Grey

Perfection in its most aggressive form

I have couple guns that I can live without. I'll bring them just in case somebody like them

Hello All, Do you have any staff you'd like to trade? Tomorrow at Chilhowee park gun show in Knoxville would be a good chance. Let's get together at 8:45 am and see what we have. Who'd like to do so?

Radom P-64. I should admit my one had corrosion all over the trigger parts and pitted barrel. Looked like it had been in a salt water for a while. It fired flawlessly and ejected every shell, however the trigger pull and the point of impact were unpredictable. I never experienced such strong recoil from such a small pistol.
