    Need a place to shoot near Clarksville, TN. Anyone with some property?

    Hi all. I'd like to find someone with some land who'd let me shoot my revolvers occasionally. Is there anyone in the area who'd be so kind? I usually go to the TWMR outdoor range near Ashland City but that's over an hour away. There is the outdoor range in Southside as well but every time I've...

    I can't "go advanced" anymore. Sigh....

    I have tried to put "sold" in the title of a thread in the "Buy, Sell and Trade" section but, when I click on the "Go Advanced" button, nothing happens. I can use the regular edit function, though. I used to be able to "go advanced" but no more. I still have the same pc and the same browser...

    Anyone want a Wildey or Automag? I saw them in a TN pawnshop....

    Note: I have no vested interest in these. I just thought that someone here may be looking for one. Today, while making a quick stop at a local pawn shop just to see what they had, I saw an engraved Wildey in .45 Win. Mag. and an Automag Model 180 chambered for 44 AMP. The Wildey was $2499 and...

    A very cool snubby....

    I recently traded for this, a first generation Charter Arms Off Duty (.38 SPL, 5 rounds, 16 oz.) These are great little carry guns priced at half (or less!) of equivalent-purpose S&Ws. It's small, light, affordable and pretty freakin' accurate, too. I am seriously impressed.

    I love my local pawn shop!

    I went to my favorite inexplicably-way-overpriced-or-way-underpriced pawn shop found a frickin' beauty of a 5" 1968 Model 10-5. It shows no wear except for the faintest of turn lines, even with a magnifying glass. It also has a tiny spot on the trigger but that's it. I bought it for only...

    Pachmayrs for a Colt Police Positive Special....

    I recently bought a relatively unused, old (1922) Colt that was finish-challenged. Something got on it sometime way back when and it messed up the bluing, especially on the barrel. I don't mind because the price was right and because I like to shoot my .38s like crazy. I love S&Ws but thought it...

    A CCW non-incident....

    Something I posted on another forum that may be of interest here, too. An ex-girlfriend told me about this today: She had to pick up her vehicle from a radiator shop which was maybe 3/4 mile from her home. Since it was a beautiful day, she walked. While walking, some guy pulls up in his car and...

    Mid TN range gathering: Saturday, May 1....

    This Saturday, May 1, I'll be meeting up with a few people at the Cheatham County WRA range. How about dropping by? The place opens at noon. C'mon down! Note: Bring your own food, drink, cooler, toilet paper, etc. The facilities are lacking that way. There's a little country store about 5...

    Cheap fix for tight chambers....

    I don't know if this has been said in this particular forum already but another thread about someone's Norinco 213 in the semi-auto forum inspired me to post my response here, too, so more may benefit. It seems that this problem may be more common with Com Bloc weapons but the process will work...

    Mid TN shooters (FT. Campbell/Clarksville/Nashville)

    I am always looking for some company at the range. Are there any local folks who are in the same boat? I usually go to the Cheatham WMA Firing Range, the Montgomery Co. Shooting Complex in Southside, TN or the small range behind TN Custom Gunsmithing in the Sango area. The weather this time of...

    Interstate sale question....

    I live right near my state's border. Can a dealer (with FFL) from right across the border come to me and buy my handgun?

    Silver solder question....

    I have two inexpensive, beater revolvers with too-short (by a hair) firing pin nubs on the hammers. The springs are fine, btw, and nothing else is wrong with them. I want to extend the nubs a bit with silver solder. Any opinions or recommendations as to brand, type, etc? Thanks.

    I just had to tell someone, you know?

    S&W Model 14 questions....

    Hi. Does anyone here know the changes of the Model 14 regarding the dash-number significances? For example, I know a 64-3 is MIM-safe but some of the later 64-4s aren't and all 64-5s use some MIM parts. I'm looking to get a 6" Model 14; what are the quality changes I should know? For the Model...

    A funny thing happened while cleaning brass....

    This morning, I dumped a bunch of .38 SPL brass in the tumbler and went about my business. I left the top off because I was lazy, I guess. When I came back, the tumbling medium and the shells were all over the place, like someone threw the tumbler across the room. The mess was unreal. It seems...

    Northern Mid TN Shootin' Couples (Nashville-Clarksville)

    Are there any couples here that'd like to go shooting sometime? I want to bring a female friend of mine and she's usually the only woman around. I don't know what "girl talk" is but I think having some should be an option. She's a noob and she just loves her Model 10. I usually go to TWRA...

    Beretta .22LR Bobcat: Opinions?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Someone I know is getting a carry permit soon (I do spread the word!) and she won't carry if it's at all inconvenient. She's slide-racking challenged and wants small and light. The smallest S&W .38 snubbies are too...

    Lots of ammo for sale at TN Gun Country in Clarksville, Tn....

    TN Gun Country has full shelves of ammo. I was there today. Note: They close for an hour at lunchtime and all day on Thursday.

    Does anyone here know if the military issue revolvers had grips numbered to the gun? Thanks.
