Thanks for the report. I have an 18.5" barreled Ruger 77 Mk. II in .308, and the muzzle blast is fairly pronounced

buck91, Question. Do you have to carry concealed on the camping trip, or can you open carry? Or are you already on the trip?

I was checking out the G23 over at Davidson's. I like the description of this one: http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Default.aspx?item=G2313AUT&zipcode=80104

I think the original poster's question was whether or not to use his EDC Shield 9mm or his Glock 23 .40. I think the best bear weapon would be an Stryker mounted Mk 19, with a full load out of HE rounds. But that's just me.

I think if you were going to carry anyway, the .40 would be a better choice. There are other animals out there, also, including rabid ones and two-legged ones.

Of the M1A models, that is the one I would own. The SOCOM is too short, the standard is too long, the Scout Squad is...just right. You made a really good deal for that rifle. Congrats! I have a soft spot for those rifles. I had to tote an M1 Garand around in boot camp, and I qualified with...

My comments, although true, were somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I am not trying to imply that a Hercules can take on a modern fighter. I have to disagree with the carrier landing. It was not really a stunt. They were serious. That exercise was trying to determine the viability of a C-130 on a...

Were any of these planes mentioned ever equipped with 105mm howitzer, able to carry a GBU-43/B MOAB, or able to land, stop, and takeoff again, unassisted, on a carrier flight deck? I think not. C-130

How about that C-130 on the JATO bottle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHOvoO-6nWQ

If you ever have warranty claim, that dealer is going to be the one involved. Me personally?. I would get it changed at 3750. It would be easy to deny a warranty claim under severe service. If they are the ones changing at the severe service level, then it would be much harder for them to deny...

Are we discussing "brake fluid" or "brake cleaner"? Huge difference.

Love me some Maine. Spent some time over the years in the Portland area and a little north of there. Thanks for the pics.

I shipped a couple of revolvers to S&W a couple of years ago, and then they shipped them back. All by Fedex. They handle firearms differently than their regular packages. I would insure, however, because anything can happen.

That's Johnny Depp money!
