Safety works just fine. I gave it a little extra nudge and it moved, no issues. I think I just did not know what it was earlier and didn't want to force it until I knew what it was. I also found that last round that I was missing. Now every clip is filled. I need to fix that... Jim

There is more to it than that. The Tennessee law allows people with HGPs to carry LOADED long guns in the passenger compartment of a car or truck, however the chamber must be empty. You can have a round in the chamber of your long gun if you are in imminent danger. It is perfectly legal to have...

The Tennessee permit laws were changed a few years ago to specifically FORBID collection of make/model/serial number information. You qualify on what you want and carry what you want. The law ensures that the state realizes that it is none of their business! Jim

Back in post number 73 I claimed #72. Please add me to the running total before someone else tries to move in on my number. ;) Jim

I'll take 72, thanks!

Fixed it for you! Maybe the Easter Bunny will bring you a new CCW permit in the mail before Easter. :) Jim

Exactly like that! Of course for me it was in a comfy chair while watching TV! As I did it, I wondered what tricks they had figured out to get them in there quickly and seated firmly at the bottom. You know after doing it a few thousand times that had it down pat! Jim

I got a single shot 20 GA (H&R) when I was 10 or so. It was in the corner by the tree and I kept ignoring it. I just KNEW there was no way it was for me, and I didn't want to look at the tag and confirm my thoughts! I was in shock & eventually very excited once I figured out it was mine. Jim

Parody is a term associated with the Fair Use policy on YouTube. You can take someone else's content and "Parody" it, but you cannot use someone else's content in a rebuttal. Jim

I'm OK with one for now. Maybe I will feel the itch again once I clean it and shoot it. For now, it settled a nagging "get it now before CMP has no more left to sell" thought I had running around in my head. My A&P (aircraft mechanic) was a Marine helo pilot in Vietnam. He said they had to...

Yep, two cans of ammo from the CMP. All but four of the rounds are Greek HPX ammo. The other four are TW52 (Twin Cities 1952?). The oldest Greek round is a 1955. Lots of 1962, some 1965, 1970, 1974, 1977 or 1971 (77 I think), and LOTS of 1978. A couple (two) 1983. I'm missing one round. I...

Thanks for the link! If I have trouble when I eventually start firing this thing I'll know where to look for advice & parts. I lean towards buying spare parts now while they are available, but will hold off for now. Different question: is it weird that I separated all of the ammo by year...

Still have not cleaned it. Still have not fired it. Still have not messed with the safety. I did get my enbloc clips in the mail last week. I am sitting here loading the loose ammo into the clips right now. I just had one of those spine shiver moments when I realized that this is exactly...

Character! ;) Yep, I have to read up on cleaning and reoiling the stock, also. That should even out the colors where the scratches are. Jim

Love the links! Thanks! As for the safety, I figured it was good from the CMP, but just could not figure out what I was doing wrong. I spend some time before I fire it doing the whole disassembly, clean, grease, & reassembly. If I can't get it to work after that I'll call the CMP. -Jim

I read that and made sure it was cocked but it did not work. I'll try what you suggest and see if I can get it moving. Jim

This is what is on the front hand guard on mine. Maybe it was something on a backpack or duty belt that rubbed against the stock. Carried muzzle up or carried muzzle down determined if the mark was on the bottom or top? Jim

Ordered Service Grade H&R and ammo by mail the beginning of September. Ammo shipped 10/21/2013 & arrived soon after. Ordered Enbloc clips & sling 10/29/2013. Garand shipped 11/15/2013 & arrived today, 11/18/2013. Still waiting on Enbloc clips & sling. To my untrained eyes the rifle looks...
