You know how a chainsaw has no power and fouls plugs if idled and barely ran? The motorcycles are the same. Run em wide open, or you'll have problems. A 2 stroke is great for racing, although most hare scramble and motorcross racers have now switched over to four strokes as well.

What maintenance on a used truck 145k miles?
gregintenn replied to maroonandwhite's topic in General Chat
I never change transmission fluid and filter. Never had a problem due to it. -
For lugging around in the woods, you'll want a 4 stroke engine. The two strokes are like chainsaw engines; all or nothing. I would also stay away from the dual sport bikes. They aren't very good for anything. Rough riding on the road, and geared too high for off road. You won't go wrong with a Honda. A CRF 250 would be a good place to start looking.

[URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_2219_zps259a52ee.jpg.html][/URL] If you happen to run across one. I've found the Bausch and Lomb BalVar scopes and mounts to be of very high quality and of modest price.

This stuff was in a museum in a Cabela's store in Idaho. I'm not sure who actually owns the guns at this point.

No need to wait for spring to do that, :cool:

I guess since you put it that way, it's been a successful ploy for me so far with Smith and Wesson revolvers. :up: Carry on.

They look.....well........like every other Glock I've seen. :shrug:

http://jamesdjulia.com/373_shs/ How could a family, in good conscience, get rid of such history? :drama: My wife wouldn't understand if I bought a rifle that costs more than her house. I would settle for a copy of his book "Safari".

I'd like to, but I can't force myself to drill a hole in a 70 series Gold Cup.

The Opry will never be the same. I'm not sure I've ever been there when he wasn't. I liked the one he told about mowing his yard. He said a well to do lady stopped and asked how much he was charging to mow the lawn he was mowing. He told her the lady in this house lets me sleep with her! :rofl:

Looks like someone did a decent job restocking it.

How important to you is an accessory rail on a handgun?
gregintenn replied to TGO David's topic in Handguns
Purely supposition on my part. I am simply repulsed by the sight of a rail on a handgun. I'm not a fan of the forward grip serrations either. -
We could probably wait you out. :cool: I know a man who's offered my son first dibs on his very nice Toyota Tacoma at a fair price. Problem is, that was about 6 months ago, and he'll not give a clue as to when he'll be ready to sell it.

As good a book as you'll ever read. A lot of it seems unbelievable, but people who knew him swear every word is true and then some.

gregintenn replied to TGO David's topic in Handguns
I wouldn't consider buying a handgun with a rail on it. A handgun is meant to be carried. A rail would be like a cheese grater to a holster; one more thing to get hung up and cause trouble right when you don't need anymore. -
When I say low mileage, 150k or 160k doesn't make me bat an eye, as long as the vehicle appears to have been well maintained. He has a truck now, It uses a lot of oil, but is otherwise reliable, safe to drive, and runs like a top. He doesn't have as much patience as I do, and I'm growing tired of him describing to me EVERY new truck posting on Craigslist in real time. :rofl: I wouldn't mind finding another engine for his, but the heater blend door doesn't work either. I'd rather change engines than try to fix that.
-
Sure he is. For some reason, he loves posing for photos. I don't pretend to believe he knows what's happening, but there's something about it he likes. Anything for attention I guess.

My son is looking for a reliable used truck. He'd like an extended cab and 4wd. As many as you see on the road, there sure isn't a big selection of them for sale. He'd like to find one for less than 10k. All we've seen are either junk, or have new prices and high miles. We keep an eye out on craigslit and golsn. Do you have any other suggestions of places to look for one? This is starting to get frustrating.

Interesting stuff. My opinion was based solely on personal experience and not any formal study data. By breed, the only dogs that were not improperly trained/cared for that I've had trouble with were Chows and Chihuahas, If a Chihuaha weighed 100 pounds, you wouldn't be able to leave your house. They'd terrorize the country.

That is the first time ever i've heard of a Lab biting a person. Under the right circumstances, I might hurt someone. I can assure you this dog, however, will not bite a human being; especially a child.
-
I would trust my dog alone with kids more than ANY human I know. Here's the evil beast with my kids. [URL=http://s612.photobucket.com/user/gregintenn/media/IMG_4617_zps5fa28856.jpg.html][/URL]

Otherwise, John Browning would have called for one. :usa:

Mid cannelure should be fine. Don't get too bent out of shape over OAL. If it'll go through your magazine and chamber without problems, you probably aren't too long. The minimum load for most any 55 grain bullet would be a pretty good place to start. Work up slowly, looking for high pressure signs. I'd go with a load for the bullet that is as close to the one you are loading as I could find. Different, shapes, ogives, etc. can have a minimal effect on pressures; but not usually much. One caveat is that loads for the all copper projectiles will be different from lead core bullets. The all copper bullets will be longer. That means more bearing surface, and in turn it'll take more pressure to push it out the bore. As far as crimping goes, with 55 grain fmj bullets, I get slightly better accuracy with crimped loads than non crimped loads. You'll not know until you try it both ways.

Right, but there isn't any frame alteration or empty holes left no matter which way you go. It isn't a big deal to properly fit one.
