    Bud’s Gun; Sevierville, TN- Verdict

    For anyone visiting the area, check out J. Floyd's Golf & Guns on Hwy 66 in front of the Home Depot in Sevierville. It shares space with the BP convenience store. It's a small store but they have a decent selection and the prices are usually better than SMKW and Buds. In Maryville, Bill's...

    AR People: What Do You Think of the LaRue Tactical MBP-2S Trigger?

    I loved my first MBT-2S so much that I bought another and will get several more as funds allow. My BIL tried my Larue and was so impressed with it that when I assembled an AR for him a MBT-2S went into it. He loves it. I don't think you can find a better trigger for the price. That fact that...

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    Yes, he's happy to allow me to use him as a background. Tiger is an easy going cat.

    What is the most recent knife you bought?

    Bought a SOG Twitch II for EDC at TN Cutlery on Monday. It is replacing a Gerber LST that is incredibly light but won't hold an edge and is a pain to sharpen.

    If this was your rifle

    You should shoot it. K31s are great shooting guns that are very accurate and one of the finest military rifles ever produced. The action is butter smooth and they have a good two stage trigger.

    My First Custom Knife

    That's good to know, hso. Also, thank you for introducing me to Riner knives through this forum. Joe and I were discussing how talented a knifemaker Riner is especially to just be 22. He also mentioned that a customer of his has a Riner damascus knife for sale that is similar to the damascus...

    My First Custom Knife

    I agree. I may have a leather sheath made for it. I will say that the kydex sheath does seem very well made and retains the knife securely. The knife is 8.5" overall with a 4" blade. The steel is 80CrV2 and the handle material is fibermascus (like a canvas Micarta). It is one of the Cane Creek...

    My First Custom Knife

    I stopped by More to Life Outfitters in Clinton, TN (thanks hso) today to look at their selection of Samuel Riner knives. This beautiful knife came home with me... (Sorry, my photographic skills aren't on par with the quality of the knife) I have been wanting a Riner knife since hso posted...

    Lightest 16" 5.56NATO AR-15:

    I'll be following this thread since I've started collecting parts for a budget conscious lightweight build. I chose the Faxon 14.5" pencil barrel with integrated flash hider because it is the lightest steel barrel at just over 19 ounces bare and is reasonably priced when on sale. OP, AR15.com...

    Gun show find

    Nice find, especially in such a great condition! A 39-2 was the first handgun I bought. 34 years later, it has been 100% reliable and is still a joy to shoot. Congratulations!

    Which AR stripped lower for an AR neophyte? Anderson? Spike? Ruger? F1?

    Global Ordnance currently has their South Korean SHK steel AR15 magazines on sale for $5 each. Since they are made from steel they are much heavier than aluminum or plastic magazines but they are very sturdy and they work well. Might want to load up on them while you can. You can order up to...

    Anyone do business with Sportsman's Outdoor Superstore?

    SOSS is GTG. I've bought several things from them including a folding stock Remington 870 ONG shotgun. They tend to sale large lots quickly so grading may not be their forte. Personally, I would take a chance and spend the extra $40 if condition was important to me.

    Lost NAA mini cylinder

    I bought several boxes of the short barrel .22 WMR when it came out. I can't tell any difference recoil-wise between it and regular WMR and I don't have a chronograph to measure velocity. According to Speer, the muzzle velocity is 1050 fps from a short barrel which is similar to other .22 WMR...

    Lost NAA mini cylinder

    I've had a NAA Mini Mag with a 1 5/8" barrel for over 25 years. It came with both cylinders but I haven't used the .22 LR cylinder in years. It is loud and has a big blast with .22 WMR but it isn't bad to shoot even with the birdshead rosewood grips. Even if WMR is only marginally faster than...

    That terrible Glock trigger...

    Look up "25¢ Glock trigger job" on youtube. Basically, it just polishes some of the parts to be a bit smoother feeling. As mentioned, different connectors can also improve the trigger feel. There are complete aftermarket trigger assemblies that alter the geometry of the parts and can improve...

    AR-15 upgrades? What are some good ones to look at?

    If the BCGs that you have are reliable, then there is no need to upgrade unless you want a lightweight bolt but those can requure tuning with buffer weight or even adjustable gas systems. My KP-15 monolithic lower carbine has a Brownell's lightweight BCG (8.5 oz) in it to save weight and cycles...

    S and W 39-2

    Congratulations, the 39-2 is one of the most reliable semi-auto handguns ever produced. My first handgun was a 39-2 purchased at a LGS because it was inexpensive at $240 (1987). Thirty five years later, it is still 100% reliable and has always cycled properly no matter what ammo is run through...
