consider this topic null & void! sold off the governor, 509c, and a p365xl (wasn't originally a consideration to sell yet not in my trusted 'no sell' list) for a nice sum...3 days later I end up in the ER via ambulance which will cost a lot! both the shield plus & pc carbine must be sold off to...

plan to keep the 380 & dao snub for pocket carry ccw; the exposed hammer snub is now the primary nightstand gun, the 10/22 compact has been the primary long gun (connected townhouse walls) until the pc carbine arrived; all of those are staying! an fn 509c, s&w governor are definitely getting...

grabbed a new ride...slightly leftover '23 Genuine Buddy 170i; gonna be a few hundred miles before its first oil change... found a bottle of Amsoil synthetic 15w-40 (ck-4/sn) in the house...I'll combine it with one of the following filters (depending upon what's available locally): prima, hiflo...

getting a leftover new honda xr150l in springtime...looking for oil & chain lube recommendations; calls for 10w-30 jaso ma (spec'd oci is every 2.5k miles after first one at 600 miles; would anyone try 10w-30 diesel oil as an alternative since they lack friction modifiers (don't want clutch...

OP here...the Del-ton AR deal fell thru! had to sell & pay medical bill! I am no longer active in this thread...

yep...bought it; psa ok...had one @ 2yrs ago & 2 of the gas rings cracked & broke after 225-250rds; psa wanted the whole rifle sent in for the repair...I opted to take just the bcg to a shop that sets up ar's for local LE depts; took 2hrs & a few bucks vs not having my rifle for 10+ days; prefer...

one of my local haunts had a 'used' basic AR for under $400...disassembly showed no real wear & very little carbon; if shot at all...guessing 1 or 2 boxes shot thru at most; what brand/model you ask?!? well...I'll tell ya in a minute! it is a basic M4 style AR-15 in 5.56; has a typical GI style...

hello...recently traded my motorcycle (Suzuki S40) on a almost new scooter (Genuine Hooligan 170i); I wasn't fond of that moto and prefer scoots...I will have no need for a jaso ma or ma2 oil since there is no wet clutch; the 'spec'd oil' is 15w-40 jaso mb...essentially diesel oil; many...

I still feel a premature oil change was a good idea...not being sure how much it had been test ridden (short jaunts & not getting up to operating temp), when the prior oil change was actually done, etc; the 'breather' tube that hangs down had about 15cc of a really thin clear & brown tinged...

my 'new to me' 2019 Suzuki S40 Boulevard (LS650)...one lunger; bought with 1171 miles...up to 1717 miles a few weeks later! changed oil early since I've not finessed some shifts while learning the best up-n-down the ole transmission... out...yamalube regular 10w-40 from bulk drum & oem suzuki...
