Thanks for the texts! That thing is STUCK! Even the freezer trick didn't work. Waiting to see if I can get to my neighbor's vice for better leverage.

The guy with the Cousin Eddie shoes in the background, though! In all seriousness, I'd have had a talk with her supervisor. Someone working in a hunting/fishing store should 1) keep their opinions like that to themselves; or 2) should not be working there.

Bump for a great raffle. Lets get this raffle sold out and a winner drawn!

Our NAZ NWTF Chapter is raffling a Stevens 320 12g pump that was donated to our chapter by some amazing folks. See the link below to our online store for details! Tickets are $10 each and we're only selling 100 of them. Of course, you have to be able to pass a background check for this. Winner can pick it up at the Sportsman's Warehouse in Flagstaff or work with them to have it transferred to an FFL of their choice, for a shipping fee. https://www.naznwtf.org/product-page/stevens-320-field-turkey-gun-in-mossy-oak-breakup

Bump. $50+shipping

Totally understand if you have it gone. I'm in a holding pattern waiting to hear about the bike. The shop said the build takes about a week. I'll holler as soon as I hear anything.

If you're willing to part out that full Garand bandoleer let me know. I used to snag those for $10-$12/bandoleer at gun shows back in Iowa growing up. I might even be in north Phx next weekend to pick up my daughter's new bike. The bike shop is Happy Valley/I-17 area.

Update: Heritage Rough Rider sold! Others still available, but he's getting inquiries.

Helping a good friend in Phoenix sell seven firearms that are taking room in the safe. All of them are in mint condition, have never been used, and never will be used by him. He has them priced to sell. PM me for his contact information. He's the Regional Director for NWTF in AZ, NM, and west TX, so he gets quite a few NWTF commemorative firearms. He sent me a spreadsheet with the specs and pics for each one, all in a different tab. Let me know if the spreadsheet doesn't work and we'll figure something out. Must have CCW or driver's license and fill out Bill of Sale. Rough Rider .22 Revolver has been sold. All others still available. Firearms for Sale 2.xlsx As requested, list and pics added to bottom of thread

Here is the list of firearms. There are multiple pics of each firearm in the spreadsheet, but I only copied over the representative pics. For more information about each firearm, including scope and commemorative info, PM me for my friend's contact info. As the Regional Director for NWTF, he travels quite a bit between Phx, Flag, Tucson, Page, NM, Sierra Vista, and El Paso. I'm sure he can arrange to meet you somewhere close to his travels, but you'll have to work that out with him. As of this post, everything is still available. He has had a few inquires, so I will update the list as things get sold. Update: Heritage Rough Rider sold! Others still available, but he's getting inquiries. Ruger American 30-06 Sprg $325 ISSC M22 $190 Cricket Precision .22 $225 Mossberg MVP Series 7.62mm NATO $570 Ruger American .223 Rem $325 Browning Hi Power 9mm 1 of 300 $900 (NWTF Commemorative)

Interesting. I can open excel on my phone (Galaxy 9). But it's a good point. I spent two days fighting a crappy server to get that spreadsheet downloaded in the middle of pressing deadlines, so I posted the spreadsheet thinking most everyone could open it so I could get back to my workload issues. I'll work on getting a list soon.

Where are you located? He travels quite a bit as the NWTF Regional Director for AZ, NM, and west Texas. I'm sure he can meet you somewhere along his travels.

It would, indeed, be nice for them to clarify. The wording above is consistent with their approach back in 2013 when they first put those regs in place. I called some level-headed connections as soon as I saw what they were originally proposing because I was headed to south Texas deer hunting. They way it was originally written (and is currently being blasted out), you'd have to stop in New Mexico or at the AZ/NM line and bone everything out. Texas law is, from my recent memory, that the game can be quartered or whole, but not boned out until it reaches its final destination. I pointed out the legal situation they would be putting everyone in by their demands. AGFD Law Enforcement actually called me and we had a great talk about the legal demands and moral/ethical situation of having to bone out your animal on the side of the interstate or at a rest stop to comply with two states' completely opposite laws and how some processors can take up to a month to get everything processed to bring back legally. I'm sure I wasn't the only one complaining, because the wording changed to exactly what was written above shortly after that.

I always forget about that because I never buy licenses/tags anywhere else. Thanks for clarifying, ugly dude!

Bump. I found another box of once-fired Federal brass. So here is what is left: Die, Hornady modified case, 1x, 4-5x fired Win (ziplock bag), Fed (1 box), & Rem brass (3 boxes; 2x fired), bullets, and VOR-TX ammo still available. $60 OBO for package deal + shipping.

We've had multiple Wildlife Managers come to talk at our Hunter Ed classes in Flagstaff and they all say the same thing: take a picture of your signed license or download a copy to show you have one in case you forget it. They will accept it. I have pictures of all four of our hunting/fishing licenses on my phone and I've sent those pics to all three of my family members. And, no, it won't work for your tags for the reason specified above. Tag has to be on you and a lost one can be replaced at any AGFD office after filling out an affidavit.

A hometown friend called me yesterday asking about load data for either Barnes TSX-FN or Hornady MonoFlex bullets in his Marlin 336. He's going to be hunting the thick brush of northern Minnesota, so he wants to find a good load for either of these bullets. He told me he's had poor luck with 175 gr bullets of other manufacturers, but he really wants to use non-lead. I don't load for the 30-30, and I've given him all of the advice I can, with regards to looking in Barnes' manual and online data. Hornady doesn't have online data for any of their loads and my manual at home doesn't include data for the 140gr MonoFlex bullet. I've also given him the information on Hornady's two lines of loaded ammunition that has the 140gr MonoFlex and Barnes' VOR-TX with the 150 gr TSX-FN. I figured someone here has worked up loads for either of these two bullets (all he is interested in) and can offer some insight that I can pass along. Thanks!

Thank you, sir! Greatly appreciated and I will pass it along!

My friend is far from a leftist. He's quite the opposite, actually. He simply believes in the performance of Barnes bullets based on other rifles he has, understands the conservation benefit, and wants to load his rifle with them. I have no desire to turn this political, so lets all just keep this about the requested information, please.

Thanks! To be clear to pass on to my friend, that's the Barnes 150 gr TSX FN, correct?

My great uncle was a bomber pilot in WWII. He was shot down and spent nine months in a German POW camp in Holland. He was fed a tulip bulb every day for food and given a cup of tea with it. He went home after his release, but answered the call again in Korea. I didn't learn the whe story until after he passed. If all my grandma's brothers and sisters (12 total), he was my favorite. So dang funny and humble.

If you don't think you can do it yourself, try Goodman Electric in Flagstaff. Our TKD Master's son works there and he's a stand up guy with a great work ethic.

Updated. I had a moment of weakness after a jerk at my house followed by a compelling, friendly pm from a guy here. I sold the unfired Winchester brass separately. Die, Hornady modified case, 1x-4-5x fired Win & Rem brass, bullets, and VOR-TX ammo still available. Price drop = $60 for package deal + shipping.

You should pay me $20 since this is the only way I ever hear from you!

I had to read that twice. ON...get you ON!! My bad.
