As in, resting on a bench? I don't do that with handguns. what about standing without a rest?

Originally Posted By: barlowc What is an appropriate distance to shoot those targets at? I figure too close won't show things clearly, and too far will make them appear worse. I hadn't really thought about it that hard. I use them close enough I can get a semi consistent group, but far enough...

Mine eats anything I feed it, which means its usually gets federal bulk in the 525 round boxes. Print off some of these targets. Try to shoot naturally and consistently. If you're consistently missing in the same direction, these targets tell you what your're doing wrong. right handed left handed

I have this version of it, and like it. The URX grip fits like a glove. If you disassemble to clean, beware of the little hex head screw on the top. On mine it has a tendency to come loose after 100-300 rounds. When its loose, the firing pin won't hit the rim correctly, and it starts misfiring...

You can get low cost flashlight mounting options from DealExtreme. I have several of this one which is great if you have a rail to mount on. You can also get some cheap LED flashlights there too. I have a couple green ones because they aren't supposed to upset the animals so much. If you order...

Originally Posted By: number_41 Is the 3.7L V-6 also prone to the same problems? Not that I'm aware of. If you want to know, look at dodgeforum.com. They also have some stickies for factory service manual pdfs on some years. I bought this truck last winter because I wanted a cheap truck as an...

My hesitation for 0w40 or 5w40 is that they are only available in pricier synthetics. I wouldn't mind, except that I figured I ought to change the oil at least once a year due to moisture, and it seems like a waste to only use that kind of oil for a couple thousand miles. That's why I was...

Originally Posted By: mechtech2 So exactly how did you set the lifter preload? I did not. I didn't think that was possible on this one? It has an overhead cam with hydraulic lash adjusters (which I think is the proper name for a "lifter" located in the head). The rockers are not adjustable...

I bought a 02 dakota quad cab 4.7 that a dropped valve seat. While replacing the seat, I saw one of the cam bearings was badly galled. The guy at the machine shop said that's common on this engine, and recommended replacing the cam but not doing anything about the aluminum bearing in the head...

wwillson, how are we supposed to reconcile this: Originally Posted By: wwillson This is very simple - talk about Toyota all you want, but when the thread turns into childish name calling it goes away or gets locked. With this (and others): Originally Posted By: ksJoe Was this one locked...

Was this one locked because it says: Quote: Just to yank your chain a little, LOL I wanted to comment in that thread about it being a clever resume (which it is - look at the text at the top of the simulator, the guy is looking for work). But it was locked after the first response. Or maybe...
