If a FAL isn't built properly, they can double or triple on occasion. I'm sure that would be classified as "full auto" for sensationalist purposes.

I've installed deeper sinks in 2 houses so far. Generally, it's easy and you can cut the existing pipes and make it fit with minor effort. Just make sure the drain lines run downhill and what dolomite said about the dishwasher line. Even if you have to redo some of it, PVC is cheap and easy. If you're installing a cast iron sink, keep in mind that they're really freakin heavy. Check the counter tops around the sink and make sure it's all well supported. I had to add some braces and shims both times. Use plenty of plumbers putty around the sink, faucet, and the drains. Oh, and good luck taking the disposer off the old sink. I've no idea why, but both times it took literally 45 minutes to get that nut off. I think they installed it with an impact or something....

You'll just have to do your homework and make sure you know the state laws, local laws and ordinances, and where the city limits are. Most of the time it's all available online. If not, you can call or visit the county courthouse. The vast majority of cities prohibit discharge of a firearm within city limits. There may be other requirements regarding proximity to buildings, noise, etc.

Many years ago while cleaning an old truck Dad decided to sell, I found probably 2 weeks worth of MRE's from the mid '70's in a box under the seat.    I didn't think about it at the time, but I REALLY wish he hadn't sold that truck.  It would've been really cool to fix up. 

    I have a 50 gallon rain barrel at the house.  The water in that thing gets beyond disgusting.  It's a purpose made rain barrel with a screen on the inlet and it still gets lots of gunk in it.  Every other year or so (when I can't stand the smell) I clean a couple inches of nasty sludge out of the bottom of it.      Come to think of it... this happened in WV in the middle of winter.  Surely there was plenty of snow to be had.

Welcome!

I bet there's a couple rental car cleaner-uppers that are pissed.  Could've gotten a free AR (and a darn nice one, I'll bet) if they'd only bothered to open the trunk.

:rofl:

Nice.  I'm not a fan of .40, but the XD is a fine pistol.

    Again, me too.    I'll admit the belt was a bit stiff at first but I figured out that since the belt is so stiff, it doesn't need to be so tight.  If you're the type that keeps your belt "squeeze your guts out" tight, then a stiff gun belt will definitely be uncomfortable.  Loosen it a notch or two and you might be happier. 

    Or have some sort of purification system available, or know how to make something like a solar still.  I have no idea if the common backpacking type filter systems would have done anything for the the chemical that was in the water.    It seems like there was a fairly simple solution...   Just go to point upstream of the chemical ingress point, fill some containers from the river, take them home and boil the water as needed.  I don't have any large containers for the sole purpose of holding drinking water, but I do have 20-25 gallons worth of 5 gallon buckets with lids that would serve the immediate purpose.  We've always got plenty of food.  We'd run out of milk for the kids, but that's an inconvenience more than anything.   Given that the chemical is still in the water and travelling down stream, we make have to think about it sooner rather than later.   I just read that the chemical is in the Ohio river and the Cincinnati water utility has closed their river water intake to prevent system contamination. 

  Ah.  Google has since made me somewhat informed as well.  Thanks.  :up:

  I'll be honest and say I don't know what "curved belly" means, but thanks for the measurements. 

  Yep.  Had mine for about 7 years.  Wear it every day. 

$10 if you're selling one.  Where should I send the money?   Otherwise what ^ he said.

    ... if it was manufactured in 1944. 

Nice pics.  What's the height of the blade from the edge to the back and how thick is the back of the blade?

OS   ;)       Come to think of it, there was a guy who walked all around town here for a while with a HUGE boombox on his shoulder with music blasting.  I can't remember his name at the moment.  He seemed pretty harmless but I have no idea what he did other than walk around with that boombox. 

That might explain the lack of info I've found elsewhere, thanks!

If I might hijack for a moment... Where would you recommend for a dual sport motorcycle camping and riding weekend?

  I have an acquaintance who's a federal marshal.  You'd be amazed at how quickly they can access all sorts of information about you, your family, your neighbors, etc.

The "Sharpening" section here has several different types of strop... http://www.woodcarvers.com/PRODUCTS.htm Mine looks like this... The strop is 13" long and the leather is 7" long and 2" wide. The groove is there to help keep your knuckles out of the path of the blade, though I found it easier to sit it on a table rather than holding it. I used the compound per the instructions.... rub a little into the leather and have at it.

    Ah.  I'm 5'7" and have hit my head while touring subs.  At 6'3", I can see the problem you might have.  Ever find the guy who signed you up for sub duty and punch him in the nose?  :lol:               Sounds exactly like the strop I got...  http://www.woodcarvers.com/sh138.htm   Best I can tell, they're quite common.  Most of the "how to" youtube videos show that kind.  The old fashioned thick leather strop with no backing (barber shop type) don't appear to be as common and are much more expensive.  Thin leather glued to a board is cheaper and probably easier to use than a big piece of leather.

Was being a cook on a sub as interesting as it sounds? I'm completely serious. I've always been fascinated by subs.
