    Redline 5w30 too thin for my application?

    If you're getting a good deal on the price it then yes, but I wouldn't pay retail. I didn't, and have a stash of a couple dozen bottles in 5/30 and 10/30. I doubt that using it would cause any harm to your engine.

    Someone just shot my storm door I think

    If the door was hit by a projectile it should still be in the vicinity somewhere.

    What do you think is the ultimate cold winter oil?

    I live in Winnipeg, and I put in Redline 5/30 this winter because I have a stash of the stuff I picked up on sale. There is a discernible difference in the way it starts up, it seems to rev way easier than anything else I've used.

    Antique pistol

    Footnote: John Utting is recorded at various addresses in Borough between 1800 and 1824. He was Gunmaker to Police Office, Union Street, Southwark between 1798-1815 That being the case, this then is probably a converted pistol. Police issue...

    Antique pistol

    Ya, that's the only reference I could come up with as well.

    Or the gunmaker continued to produce firearms into the percussion era period.

    Antique pistol

    The only other gun I have seen on an online auction by the same maker was a flintlock. So perhaps it was a conversion kit! I doubt that it would have been converted in recent history. Maybe back then when the gun might have been "updated" to "modern" technology.

    Antique pistol

    This is something my grandfather had. The only thing I have been able to find out is that there was an english gunmaker named John Utting around 1799-1820. Any ideas? It's about a .50 caliber.
