I have been away from the forum for awhile, I will say Gary Allen was a true good hearted person, sure he liked a debate, but what a fine gentleman. I think that sums it up for me, he always had time to help anyone pm, email, post whatever.

Learning experience just choke it up for future reference, I work on machines for a living, and trouble shooting is just as this post goes, however on a first time basis I always goes the easiest route, migrating to the most time consuming/expensive !! The reason I guessed rotors is because you...

As to leaving the drain plug un-threaded half way for 15 minutes that's a different story as to 10k and driving conditions. I guess we find different things that work on different engines/vehicle make. For a eye opener brass is used as a one time (you can fudge this) crush fit as to the threads...

As to Honda drain plugs I as well drive a Honda (Accord) and one had 250K + and still original drain plug with aluminum crush washer, never a problem...

Dales seasoning not a dry rub but great on steaks, burgers etc etc

I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just saying I can not see how on earth wd 40 could penetrate brass, lead, or the primer itself..... I handload 98% of my ammo ( not for personal defense) and I just can't see it happening. Also keep in mind that most all if not all personal defense ammo, and...

Just be warned you will be sanding by hand a long time before you make any dent in removing material from a rotor using sand paper, and your hand.. Don't use a course paper either, I'm thinking around 400 grit maybe down to 300 for starting and finish with 400 wet or dry paper... If it were...

Applications vary in the need of cast verses forged in any application. I can't imagine why a road car/passenger car would call out a forged wheel instead of a cast wheel, I don't think longevity has to do with either.. Are the forged wheels on MB aluminum or steel ? I assume aluminum, which...

Originally Posted By: HTSS_TR Many American like quart bottle better, they have no idea that 1 liter is about 5% more than 1 quart. All they know is their manual recommends x quarts of oil, they don't want to do calculation from liter to quart. In a 4-5 quart sump I cant imagine why anyone...

we will just have to agree to disagree as to me my worst nightmare is my kids getting a hold of one of my guns, and killing themself... I do instruct my kids, and have shown both what happens to a coke bottle full of water, and told them that's the same that will happen to whatever, and I asked...

As far as I know this is truly a one of a kind, I have not seen another stock like it for a 10/22 magnum, that is what makes it for me is the stock.. Of course this gun has been put together so many way it's not even funny. I have had it in stock form which I still have all the stock parts for...

Pablo here is a neat 22 magnum that I put together years ago, it's been one of my favorite guns ever since, and I used it for hunting a lot, bobcats, varmints etc.. Accurate, very light weight etc.. but a bit pricey. Run down of items Almost forgot weight around 5 pounds without sling 10/22 mag...

I will carry one in the chamber of my glock if I'm in a area I don't think is safe etc, however I prob go around with an empty chamber more than a loaded chamber, as well I go around with the gun stored at my house or in the dash of the car as much as I carry. I have seen threads where people...

I read a great deal of this thread, and I must say I not sure what to think. I have been carrying concealed for many years and to insinuate that one must have completed some training course to have knowledge of how to carry concealed is absurd Also if you have kids I see one reason just to...

ammo can in fact last for long periods of time, however when you consider the amount of people using auto loading pistols the constant heat cycling of ammo reaching 140* maybe more inside a dash ?? I think 1 year is cheap enough for self defense ammo carried in the gun, also it does not hurt to...

I would also look into the 10w-30 oils, I live right above you and to the left just a bit GA and it's the same here.. summer heat is the main concern as we seldom get what they call those winter temps as they do up north of us. Also a 5w-30 would have no problem coping with the summer heat

A brush will work on lead that is just wiped in a barrel, meaning it is not lead that is of any considerable amount= a leaded barrel. As I said above I use a brush to remove lead from a 22lr barrel, however if you take a factor pistol barrel most will be so rough or inconsistent inside the bore...

I would run 15w-40 or 10w-30 my local walmart carries Rotella 10w-30 now, I said for years I would use that if it were ever local, but now I have a large stash of oil I'm trying to use up before I buy anymore !!
