    Range Report: M1A, Ruger AR556, and HTA 10/22

    Thanks for the report. I have an 18.5" barreled Ruger 77 Mk. II in .308, and the muzzle blast is fairly pronounced

    The Bear Topic

    buck91, Question. Do you have to carry concealed on the camping trip, or can you open carry? Or are you already on the trip?

    The Bear Topic

    I was checking out the G23 over at Davidson's. I like the description of this one: http://www.galleryofguns.com/genie/Default.aspx?item=G2313AUT&zipcode=80104

    The Bear Topic

    I think the original poster's question was whether or not to use his EDC Shield 9mm or his Glock 23 .40. I think the best bear weapon would be an Stryker mounted Mk 19, with a full load out of HE rounds. But that's just me.

    The Bear Topic

    I think if you were going to carry anyway, the .40 would be a better choice. There are other animals out there, also, including rabid ones and two-legged ones.

    My new bundle of joy!

    Of the M1A models, that is the one I would own. The SOCOM is too short, the standard is too long, the Scout Squad is...just right. You made a really good deal for that rifle. Congrats! I have a soft spot for those rifles. I had to tote an M1 Garand around in boot camp, and I qualified with...

    Blue Angels vs Thunderbirds

    My comments, although true, were somewhat tongue-in-cheek. I am not trying to imply that a Hercules can take on a modern fighter. I have to disagree with the carrier landing. It was not really a stunt. They were serious. That exercise was trying to determine the viability of a C-130 on a...

    Blue Angels vs Thunderbirds

    Were any of these planes mentioned ever equipped with 105mm howitzer, able to carry a GBU-43/B MOAB, or able to land, stop, and takeoff again, unassisted, on a carrier flight deck? I think not. C-130

    How about that C-130 on the JATO bottle? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHOvoO-6nWQ

    New car - dealer says change oil every 3000 mi

    If you ever have warranty claim, that dealer is going to be the one involved. Me personally?. I would get it changed at 3750. It would be easy to deny a warranty claim under severe service. If they are the ones changing at the severe service level, then it would be much harder for them to deny...

    Brake fluid as a bore cleaner?

    Are we discussing "brake fluid" or "brake cleaner"? Huge difference.

    Pics from Maine

    Love me some Maine. Spent some time over the years in the Portland area and a little north of there. Thanks for the pics.

    Mailing a handgun

    I shipped a couple of revolvers to S&W a couple of years ago, and then they shipped them back. All by Fedex. They handle firearms differently than their regular packages. I would insure, however, because anything can happen.

    2018 Raptor 3.5 HO break in and oil questions

    As a GENERAL rule of thumb, the DI engines soot the oil and dilute the oil with gasoline. Your engine's DI and port injection should alleviate some of this, but we don't know yet. The soot in DI engine oil was a sufficient enough concern that auto manufacturers pushed for the SN+ spec. There is...

    2018 Raptor 3.5 HO break in and oil questions

    The reason I suggested the QSUD D1G2 5W-30 are: This vehicle will be under warranty LSPI The QSUD D1G2 5W-30 is one of the higher viscosity D1G2 oils I have seen, so far. If you don't own and have experience with a modern DI turbo engine, I would suggest you not advise on this. It's a whole...

    2018 Raptor 3.5 HO break in and oil questions

    That engine is running a lot of boost. Me, personally, I would change the oil at about 2k, run QSUD D1G2 5W-30, and change it at the 5k mark thereafter.
