Why, was TN's money all in loose pennies?

I've had the same thing happen with only $4,000. I asked the same question and received the same answer as you did....yet I've been in the same bank when someone was depositing $14,000 (mol) in cash wrapped with rubber bands.

I believe that a US defeat at Midway would have set the US back a year or so and cost many, many more American lives. American manufacturing might would have overcome the Japanese eventually but replacing three carriers and their complement, pilots and aircraft would have set us back severely.

You are correct. Amending post.

A pretty decent movie. Henry Silva seemed to always play the psycho bad guy in most of the movies he was in.

Even though it was three US carriers against four Japanese fleet carriers, we held the element of surprise by breaking enough of their Naval code to know approximately where they were going to attack and the general area where they would be. We were also VERY lucky that they didn't find our carriers first...would have been a far different and devastating outcome. Thank You to the brave men and women of the Greatest Generation.

Are you going to write your initials in it along with the date? I would!

Doesn't bother me in the least. Scrolling past three pinned posts or thirteen pinned posts is all the same. What annoys me is one seller dominating the Classifieds with 14 different posts and then doing a btt on all of them at the same time pushing everyone else to the bottom of page one or to the second page.

Optical illusion, that's the primer feed tube. The first picture has a divider between the rear loader and the front loader that shows the difference.

Otherwise, you'll probably wonder why the guy you sold it to keeps stopping over to visit you at your house.

I saw them in 1978 at a concert in Tampa called Tampa Jam. The harmonica in the song is played by the lead guitar/singer's grandfather who wrote the song. I'd never heard of them before the concert and thought it was strange to see a little old Native American man playing the harmonica lead in to a hard rock song. The concert featured Black Oak Arkansas, Blackfoot, Atlanta Rhythm Section and others. Blackfoot was awesome, I bought this album shortly thereafter. Another good "harmonica" song.

I make my own iced tea...what is this coffee thing? Dang Yankees.

My Grandfather was a rancher. He would ask a hire "Do you have a pocketknife?" If the prospective hire had a knife, that was a feather in the cap so to say. If the prospective hire did not have a pocketknife, my grandfather would give him one and send him off to work. The next morning, he would ask him if he still had the knife, if he didn't....he no longer had a job either. Needless to say, my Dad carried a pocketknife, as do I. Don't like mine riding in the bottom of my pocket like my father and grandfather though, pocket clip required. Gerber for me. Got it at a garage sale for $3.00. Flips right out, locks and holds a decent edge...not a razor edge, a decent sharp edge.

By the time you've gotten to the "commitment" stage, it's probably too late to find another bathroom....that paper sign may be of some use!

This ^^^^^ Leaving the powder in too long will discolor the clear plastic on the hopper. Leave it in way too long and the powder could start to degrade.

Pardoned in 2022? I didn't know that Hillary was ever charged with a crime!

Written words posted on the internet or recorded physical actions posted on the internet are forever.

They were, they were good for the entire year but ultimately too small to contend with Washington plus they had the hindrance of David Woodley. That showed up in the Super Bowl.

The Boeing flight computers thought they were climbing to steeply?

The internet can and will testify against you in court.

Way before those guys.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. If you have a nearby, local FFL that will ship for a reasonable price, and you are a current SASS member, you may want to consider selling your guns in the Classifieds. By doing this, you'll get the full price paid instead of an auction house or estate broker. Upside to the above - You maintain control over pricing and monetary returns. Downside to the above - Need to provide decent pictures and know how to post them. - Have to be extra vigilant for scammers by verifying the buyer's credentials. - There is extra labor involved such as travel to the FFL, packaging the firearms for shipment (although some FFL's will do that for you) and time interacting with the buyer. You can also sell your guns and ammo via auctions or estate sales. You should make sure that the auction is not only an "in person" auction but an internet auction also. Internet auctions provide a much larger audience of buyers. Many internet buyers are well aware of gun values and significance and will pay for it. Upside to auctions - You drop off the guns/ammo and you're done, unless the items don't sell. No packaging the items, dealing with the buyers, nothing....you just wait for the payment check to arrive. - People are paying stupid prices for firearms right now, at least around here they are. - Ammo (factory) typically sells well around here, especially .308, 30-06, .30-30, 30 carbine and other rifle type rounds. That ammo that you bought 30 years ago is like a little gold mine these days. Reloaded ammo is worth only component prices and is illegal to sell without proper licensing. Downsides to auctions - Auction houses typically take 18 - 20% of the selling price. - You may not sell your firearms/ammo at a profit or breakeven level on occasion. Some guns have gone up in value, some haven't. IE - the Ruger LCP that you paid $350 for new now sells for $200 max. - Payment from the auction house may take 30 to 60 days to process. If your kids are really interested in firearms, they will most likely sell them for what they can without knowing the "real" value to the guns. It's too bad that happens but that's the way it usually is unfortunately. I personally have had good results with auctions and am considering selling some items myself. There are at least three gun auction vendors within 5 to 10 miles of my residence so it is convenient for me. IMO, right now is the time to sell. With the current "gun friendly" administration, I don't really think prices will increase and will gradually decrease over the next 3 years....unless some perceived threat arises to cause concern. Good luck and enjoy your proceeds!

I've had FTF issues with the bulk Federal stuff but I only use that stuff for plinking and messing around and it's only been several out of the 550 packs. The Remington bulk pack is far worse ammo as far as FTF, at least it is for me. The Federal Auto Match is the stuff that concerns me. Out of 10 rounds (Ruger MKII), only 3 of them will sound the same with some being almost a squib. In fact, once I got a squib rod from the RO shack to see if there was one in the barrel, there wasn't...but there wasn't one on the target either.

I triple that raise!

Look at safes designed to be installed flush with the drywall in-between the studs in a wood frame wall.
