Is that 3 racks of ribs and 3 porterhouses in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

I'd rather have the Chevy as the Ford. All the Chevy's I have owned over the years have been very easy to resell and get my money back. Take the Chevy, sell it, buy a Toyota and be happy with a GOOD truck.

For the novice out there who may not know; You should understand the difference between 'leading' and 'antimony wash'.
Antimony wash is a silvery grey color left in the barrel. It does NOT affect accuracy and does NOT affect safety. It's merely a color left behind.
Leading looks like a smeared build up and the difference should be immediately apparent. Leading, when looking down the bore, just looks like it don't belong in there. Antimony wash isn't necessarily visible from certain light angles.
SO, just cause you see a little silver color left behind, don't git yer panties in a wad. Learn to tell the difference.

Mr. Myagi said the best way to win a fight....."No get hit"
Best way NOT to get hit, DON'T be there. I love me some personal space.

Oh I know what those are for! They are for Battalion Commanders in the Salvation Army.

This is only one of the idiotic things gun owners do that cause me to be the lousy hypocrite I have become. I am a staunch supporter of everyone's rights.....but in my heart, I do not believe in it.
It may get me flamed, but Constitution or not, not everyone should have a gun. Even if you ain't a criminal or crazy...some people just don't need to be in possession of one.
BUT, here's the rub, who the hell is ANYONE to make that decision for me or you?

I will also say, aside from poor casting/reloading practices, the other BIG contributing factor to leading problems in a poly barrel is plain ole laziness. I know we all joke that we don't clean a Glock but dadgum people! Take a look at your equipment once in a while.

Omega, you found out the easy way, a LOT of poly barrel cast lead myth is just that....BS myth.

The hardness of the lead is NOT the problem. The problem is, most people cannot or will not understand the whole dynamic.
FIT is everything. The bullet size as well as how it fits the throat means EVERYTHING. The hardness needed for a specific load is totally dependent on the velocity one is trying to achieve. I have shot 50/50 wheel weight lead and soft lead in Glock barrels with a properly fitted bullet at modest speeds and have never seen lead in my barrels.
Casting is just like tuning a motor. If all you wanna do is slap headers and a four barrel on, you're wasting your time. THE WHOLE engine must be tuned for what you plan on doing with it.

What a heckuva place for some terrorist to hit. That many people in an open field, one plane full of fuel. Death toll would make 9/11 look like a ...well..
No, no way in hell would I go.

I started using a Coleman cooler a few years ago and wouldn't go back to a bag ever. It holds magazines, ammo, a tool kit and a cleaning kit along with my notebook and what ever handguns I pile in there. It's as organized as I am.

Who would have ever thought a third hole would look so cool.

Nor do I but at least for the first few years, the market would get turned inside out and people would go knucking futts buying them left and right.
God knows a day at the range would be a lot nicer.

Sources are saying looks like the pilot road it in, trying to avoid houses.
If that's true, everybody oughta raise a glass to that guy. That takes a selfless man to be that kinda hero.
He could have just as easily punched out and the plane landed on god knows what.

The licensing agreements between manufacturers would be where the money is. How many gun makers would offer their rifles 'factory suppressed' if they could? All of them.
There wouldn't be an AR on the rack without a can on it. Hunting rifles would would do very well too.

Well that sucks, but you kinda play with fire when you do what those boys do.

Great for producing SEE conditions too if the primer pushes the bullet into the barrel before the powder charge ignites. Pull the bullets on that Paki-crap and toss the rest.

Well, I know in the 13 years I worked in a machine shop, all engraving done on parts was done with a center drill. I've seen part numbers engraved that were only eighty thousandths tall and rarely did the center drill fail until they were very dull. Much of that has to do with the rigidity of the machine though.
I ran a Fadal machining center for a time making 17-4PH waste gates for oil piplines. We used a #2 center to engrave the part number on those, rarely ever broke one. Fadal is a sloppy piece of crap BTW.
Just try it on a scrap piece of material close in composition to what is going to be engraved so you can see what speed and feed the machine likes for a good finish.
It'll work...or it won't. Either way, you ain't out much.

Self Defense by an Elephant

African elephants [male] can easily reach 10 times the 1300lb weight of that cape buffalo. Whoever said size doesn't matter obviously never pissed off an elephant.
