  1. I've had long relationship with turbo 4 engines and driving them hard. A well designed setup with a reasonably chosen turbo will last well past 150k. I did about 9 years and 170k in both of my last two. I think the worst thing I had to replace engine or turbo on them was a leaky main seal at around year 7 on one of them. But I wasn't towing anything. Realistically, most truck owners won't be either.
  2. Oh it's not scuttlebutt, 2023 is the last year for the charger and challenger, and it's going to spread. There's a reason why Chevy has a full size pickup with a turbo 4 in it.
  3. There are no sources. At the same time, pick any topic and try to get a lawyer to tell you you have no liability or legal risk. They will never give you an affirmative answer. Every case I have seen where the status of the trigger was made an issue were civil cases and determining liability. There was an incident down south jersey (unfortunately I can't find an article on it, it's been quite a while) of a defensive shoot with a uspsa open gun. It was a justified shooting. There was no talk of triggers. The definitions permitting the use of lethal force make little to no comments on the means, other than it being lethal.
  4. And you will note I didn’t mention man sized targets. I went with a 2moa threshold which shows up in a number of contexts as a target threshold.
  5. Lets say you have a 2moa dot. at 400 yards that limits you to an 8 inch target. That is if your dot gets no bloom. An etched reticle is going to be easier to get the hit with. As a dude with way less than perfect vision, I can tell you that with a LPVO hits on 8" targets at 300 are not terribly hard, and were really slow and difficult with a 3moa dot. I'll also say I've honestly gotten better with an LPVO as being able to see what your technique is doing in terms of relative motion/etc. between the gun and target is informative and you just can't see it with a dot unless you have got REALLY good vision. Like 20/15 or better.
  6. I can understand it. With older ventilation, and frankly with any ventilation changes made for more "fresh" air for covid, the air quality by the end of 6-7 was BAD and overnight hit over 500 in some areas which is generally dangerous. Ours did a half day, on 6-8, but reality was the back half of the day was less bad, the forecast was off about when it would peak. Like in my kids school, it looked like the hallways were foggy, and the gym was even worse.
  7. Most of Canada lacks people. So if stuff starts burning in the middle of nowhere, it can get a lot of burning done. It was downright sepia toned around here around 1-2pm.
  8. All I gotta say is damn it's getting bad in the Sayreville/Old Bridge area now.
  9. There tro pending the pi. Since we got the pi, the tro doesn’t exist anymore, it’s superseded by the pi.
  10. most of your axe throwing joint just have you throwing run if the mill hatchets. The harbor freight hatchet is pretty solid for the money. The $15 one with the hickory handle is the one I'm referring to. If you want an axe to stick well, you will either need to get a surface it can penetrate easily, or reprofile the blade edge. Which you kind of need to do if you want to actually have it chop wood and not suck as well.
  11. Yes except for the fact it is specifically exempted by name if it is in fact an 1895 mauser. I mean heck, the beretta neos carbine kit included a letter from the ATF explaining how to not make it an SBR. And that took years of legal back and forth to make happen.
  12. For black powder? That's what the shortage is. Last I checked it's not important in most small arms, and BP aficionados had to deal with the middle finger from hodgdon when the plant went up and they decided to get out of the black powder business. It's been priced into the market for a while now.
  13. The first question is what phone have you got? There might be an app. There are tons of digital audio players and you can even start getting into some nicer ones for mid $90 range. But most of them are not going to come with ripping software to rip your CDs. I personally like and paid for dbpoweramp to rip my collection. It's a bit of a pain in the ass for hidden tracks and othe3r weird stuff sometimes, but it can actually get to most of them. It costs $50. It also supports batch conversion, so I just ripped everything to FLAC once, and then transcode it to whatever format I want.
  14. I've been living on cyberpowers at home and they do well compared to most of the smaller units outside of some serious APC units (i.e four figures to buy). If you have a costco membership, they will save you a lot on the cyberpower. For example instead of $219 for the 1500va true sine wave, they have it for $179.
  15. My go to is "Uh oh, dog's on fire, gotta go." The WTF factor gives you enough time to hang up without them trying to foot in the door you.
  16. It's like norma's posi-drive to lehigh's phillips head.
  17. ATF, or CCP? Lots of the glock switches and lightning links style DIASs are from alibaba vendors and such. If there's zero consequence to them and it costs them $1.25 of materials and labor, why not ship in stuff that is disruptive? Heck if you are really organized you can escalate the problem then drop the dime on your customers to try to spark conflict.
  18. You might want to drop ruger form the post title, it's confusing since you aren't selling a ruger.
  19. 1) they are a common carrier, and once in possession of the common carrier, handling is not generally considered a transfer. Doe the new law recognize that? No, but nobody is likely to do anything due to federal law and supremacy, especially since if it is hitting an airport it is going interstate. The transfer occurs outside of a transportation hub. 2) Assuming the transportation hub thing is referring to transporting people, air freight has a separate terminal to the passenger terminals, so there'd probably be issues even with regard to the law as written being applicable at least now that we live in a post people's express world.
  20. Two things to keep in mind in that article. First is that the telegraph system used thin wires over long distances. This made a giant antenna. The second thing is that for the most part, things were not destroyed, and when it stopped, they went back to working. Most of the issue was people getting shocked from things they expected not to have a charge, some equipment damage, and mostly communications disruption due to the charge caused by the solar flare in the wires impairing transmission. However, in many cases transmission was still possible, but impaired. What happened then wouldn't necessarily be what happens now. For example small electronics probably won't be toast. They probably would just crash like they got zapped with a HERF gun. Additionally, infrastructure won't just get randomly zapped. Unlike then, we have multiple solar observation satellites to give us warning, and steps can be taken to mitigate vulnerability. So the difference between the best case and worst case is likely to rely on human performance to a great degree, which could be good or terrible. Also, if you pay attention to astronomy or even just lightweight science news, this solar event was covered in various ways ranging from isn't this neat to the sun's gunna splode!
  21. Like three years now. Can't moot it if you attach monetary damages. Have you ever taken a day off to go pick up a gun during business hours and had NICS screw you? Sounds like monetary damages to me.
  22. How'd you get glocks in 1978 when they were introduced in 1982. And that's if you were working with the austrian army. As for OP's problem, I'd look at cartrtidge overall length vs. mag length/depth. My guess is the tip of the cartridge is dragging, and this is not a problem with FMJ, but is with the polymer filled tip. Normally I'd be with you that it's a mag problem, but given the current state of the ammo industry, QC issues are much more likely, so I wouldn't rule out ammo issues as well.
  23. It's likely a shitty comp, but a comp. Advertised as a comp, and uses vertical jetting of gasses when the bullet obturates the bore. IT also has no real features that would reduce muzzle flash. That doesn't mean some schmuck with a badge won't go by the pinky test. Probably a bigger issue is if that is for a rifle, make sure it is steel, because pin and weld and silver solder will potentially be problematic with aluminum.
  24. Hmm that is the most believable denial ever!! /s
