You make very salient points. The situation is the same regardless of the industry, and it's been that way since the concept of advertising originated. I remember one of Exxon's ancient ads: Put a tiger in your tank. Translation, our gasoline will make your car run like an Indy car. It was no...

But, but . . . wait, they (Big Oil) tell me that Mobiline Castzoil are super lubes that will keep my earth bound space ship (floats through the space over the highway on 31" wheels) in pristine shape for at least 200,000 miles without ever having to change anything . . . ( extreme attempt at...

Also, the engines had a relatively short life span between overhauls, assuming they didn't take battle damage in the interim. They were low RPM engines that ran in the range of 1800-2200 RPM during flight. The radial engines in particular had large oil sumps, ran with what we would consider...

Not necessarily. Original 1903 rifles were made by Springfield and Rock Island. The 03A3 is just as much of a Springfield rifle as the original 03 . . . just as the F.N. built M98 rifles were just as much Mausers as those built at Oberndorf. :)

As did Remington and Smith-Corona

If you're expecting the ride of a Cadillac Escalade out of a Jeep Wrangler, I have some swamp land in Southeast Georgia I'll sell you. The Wrangler is for all intents and purposes a truck, a descendant of the WW2 Willy's MB, the M38, M38A1, the M151s, the CJ, YJ, TJ, JK and now JL. They're...

"Never believe everything you read on the internet." Abraham Lincoln, 1862

The term 'tactical', or is it 'tacticool', has been so overused and over abused as it make it revoltingly irrelevant. Is 'tactical' the add on goodies and appearance, or is 'tactical' the individual skill of the person operating the gun in deployment and utilization? In IveBeenRued's...

What do the technical data packages for your firearms call for (a/k/a civilian Owners Manual) ?? Don't get paralyzed by analysis.

As long as defense contractrors exist, the military will always need a "new and better" weapon platform. The Taliban were shooting at us with old Lee Enfields and Mosin-Nagants . . . so "better" once again remains the vague and subjective term. As the old saying goes: It's the Indian, not the...

Federal 9 BPLE 115gr +P+ Street proven for over 30 years.

Walmart tends to be hit or miss in my area. One can be run like a slum in shambles, and another 10 miles away can be clean, well organized . . . and well stocked !!

To the OP, MS-6395 is rather ancient. I'm surprised it hasn't been upgraded. FWIW, I've got two Chrysler vehicles, both with the 3.6 Pentastar engines, both have been running on Quaker State Ultimate Protection 5W-30, and before that came out, Pennzoil Platinum. The QS is about $6.00 per oil...

You use the red coil pack in red cars. Blue coil pack in blue cars, Green coil pack in green cars. I have no freakin' idea which color would go with white, black, silver, gray or neon colored vehicles. (sarcasm included)

Went to procure a Die Hard battery for the Jeep, and noticed two different Die Hard Platinum AGM batteries within the same group size. Ones in the usual gray colored casing that resembles the Auto Zone Duralast, and ones in an all black case. On all the black cased Platinum batteries was a...

The older No 4 Mk I Lee Enfield also has a detachable 10 round magazine. It's likely more of a question of ammunition compatibility with the military for the cartridge choice. It's a stronger action, and easier to get service and parts for. Probably not a whole lot of old serviceable Lee Enfield...

Being it is essentially a Tikka T3 CTR bolt action, and with detachable magazines, it is a definite improvement over the Lee-Enfield.

For those who want a Pennsylvania 'Type' Oil . . from Rhode Island (?)

I suppose the notion that green vegetation - eggzample: trees, grass, etc. - all convert CO2 to Oxygen was not part of the money laundering process. Ehhh, who needs oxygen anyway. Nature has been taking care of CO2 for millions of years, but we think we can do better ?? Let me know how all this...

One would think that after all this time that a quality replacement would be on the market that (a) worked, and (b) didn't spring leaks all over the place. Then again, the engine designers couldn't have used a regular canister filter and put it where you can f***ing get to it without taking the...
