    RIP Gary Allan

    I have been away from the forum for awhile, I will say Gary Allen was a true good hearted person, sure he liked a debate, but what a fine gentleman. I think that sums it up for me, he always had time to help anyone pm, email, post whatever.

    Please help me solve this brake noise!!!

    Learning experience just choke it up for future reference, I work on machines for a living, and trouble shooting is just as this post goes, however on a first time basis I always goes the easiest route, migrating to the most time consuming/expensive !! The reason I guessed rotors is because you...

    Just changed the oil on friends '08 Rav4

    As to leaving the drain plug un-threaded half way for 15 minutes that's a different story as to 10k and driving conditions. I guess we find different things that work on different engines/vehicle make. For a eye opener brass is used as a one time (you can fudge this) crush fit as to the threads...

    How long do you keep Personal Defense Ammo?

    I'm not saying it didn't happen, I'm just saying I can not see how on earth wd 40 could penetrate brass, lead, or the primer itself..... I handload 98% of my ammo ( not for personal defense) and I just can't see it happening. Also keep in mind that most all if not all personal defense ammo, and...

    Please help me solve this brake noise!!!

    Just be warned you will be sanding by hand a long time before you make any dent in removing material from a rotor using sand paper, and your hand.. Don't use a course paper either, I'm thinking around 400 grit maybe down to 300 for starting and finish with 400 wet or dry paper... If it were...

    Cast vs Forged Rims

    Applications vary in the need of cast verses forged in any application. I can't imagine why a road car/passenger car would call out a forged wheel instead of a cast wheel, I don't think longevity has to do with either.. Are the forged wheels on MB aluminum or steel ? I assume aluminum, which...

    *!@&%! Bean Counters at Total

I do instruct my kids, and have shown both what happens to a coke bottle full of water, and told them that's the same that will happen to whatever, and I asked...

    22 magnum for Pablo

    As far as I know this is truly a one of a kind, I have not seen another stock like it for a 10/22 magnum, that is what makes it for me is the stock.. Of course this gun has been put together so many way it's not even funny. I have had it in stock form which I still have all the stock parts for...

Accurate, very light weight etc.. but a bit pricey. Run down of items Almost forgot weight around 5 pounds without sling 10/22 mag...

    CCW one in the chamber

    I will carry one in the chamber of my glock if I'm in a area I don't think is safe etc, however I prob go around with an empty chamber more than a loaded chamber, as well I go around with the gun stored at my house or in the dash of the car as much as I carry. I have seen threads where people...
