Sgt., let me see if I can dig up the guy in Erwin's name. Nice guy. He used to hang out at Shooter's Mark. I think he got a couple of post sample HK's, and a John Tibbits gun or two. He can usually be found hanging out with John Tibbits at Knob Creek.
Sounds like we need to organize an East Tennessee shoot!!!!!

That sounds great! Also, we need to get together sometimes. Did you once say you shoot over at the park at Watagua dam?

The class 3 in Erwin works at the same place you do. I know him well. He works in engineering/maintenance... I will try to send you his email address... I am sure you have crossed paths...
I would like to see a Thompson shoot organized in East Tennessee. I know and have met several of you guys from East Tn...And Bristol Va...
Point blank in Johnson City is a safe bet reguarding the weather. I have access to the Police range , but the chief would fall over dead when he thought of the liability...

I do have some other "junk" guns that are kind of fun to shoot. :-)

The M1 you got today is a real beauty... Just being there when you picked it up was almost a much fun as if it were mine. ( Would you re-consider selling ??)

Sounds like a plan!
LOL, June perhaps?

Maybe we could convince Chris to bring over a bushel basket of those lil fuzzy things. Are they still in season in June?

I had a great time picking up the M1. Wished I had a mag with me, we could have tried it out.
Grew Crow and guys-- Yea, a TN shoot sounds like a plan. TAC 2 allows Class III stuff. Maybe they could sponsor it. If any of you guys know the owner, maybe you could get the ball rolling.
Thanks all for your help. I'll post pictures shortly.

The sign-off name was Savage. I'm assuming it was the same lady who spoke with me on the phone. I'm still not sure how the fingerprint check works, or whether that was even the true reason for the delay. All I know is, when I began the inquiries, the form suddenly gets approved. Where was it in the mean time?

Have you turned the M1 loose yet???!!!
I am sure that when you explained the purchase to Monique that she was understanding... Probably didn't say a word

Sten, I haven't had the chance to give the m-1 a nice dump. I did examine everything with a magnifying glass to see if I missed any markings. I'll give it a good cleaning, but there doesn't appear to be any substantial wear on the internals. I'm glad it came with the m-1 bolt. I'll give you a call later, to help me break it in.
I took all that glossy varnished blonde wood off and replaced it with some battleworn GI wood. I put the sling on her and she looks absolutely lovely, when I pose it next to the 28. Gosh guys, this obsession sure is fun. Wished I had started many years ago. I woud have given Murray a run for his money. LOL

My guess is a few bucks for the space. We could probably get him to set up a stage or two for a subgun match if someone would let him shoot with their gun.
I'll look into it.

if you guys don't mind a semi in the crowd.
I'm planing a trip down over the weekend of 6/11 + 12th.
NFA transport forms are submitted already. Plan on hauling a few toys along!

Crow, don't worry...we'll have our own little semi corner. I'll bring some of my other toys to make it fun though
