Got a Makita portable air compressor that a buddy gave to me when he was moving. Don't have the model #/specs on me, but it's a 110V "plug-in-the-wall" electric compressor with two smallish tanks. I think it's ~10 years old. When I turn it on the motor runs for a few seconds and then it slows down and stalls. If I open the drain valves on the tanks so that air can freely flow out then the motor will run and run without slowing down. I suspect the "check valve" (is there a better technical term for this?) is failed open, so that the piston/cylinder is essentially directly connected to the tanks and once the motor runs for a few seconds it's trying to compress the entire volume of air in the tanks instead of just what's in the cylinder which is why it bogs down. Should I bother trying to fix this, or am I going to spend more in time hunting down the parts and replacing them than it would cost me to just get a new one?

I'd really hate to see one of these churches run afoul of OGAM legislation. Do they have a specific exemption?

At this point I'd recommend getting in touch with Beretta to see what they can do for you.

Good Luck, have fun, stay safe!

Yep, I'd try a dab of blue loc-tite on the end of the pin.

Legal unless worn while "engaged in the commission of, or an attempt to commit, or flight after committing or attempting to commit" certain crimes. No requirement for FID or drivers license to own or wear: If you want to search the statutes yourself, use the term "body vest".

I thought rohrbaugh already did:

Check craigslist. That's how I bought my last two gun safes. Ideally you want your safe to be attached to a wall/floor so it can't simply be put on a dolly and wheeled out, but if you can't attach it then consider filling it up as much as possible with ammo in addition to the firearms to make it *heavy*.

Lots of discussions of CX4 red dot sites at the Beretta long guns forum too: http://www.berettaforum.net/vb/showthread.php?t=69874

12 gauge bird shot. Will make the intruder look like the following, but won't penetrate any walls: (Actually, my vote is "other", pistol caliber carbine)

Talk to PK90 or one of the other vendors on this board, they'll get you hooked up with a GSG. ATI (distributor of the GSG) only offers 10 and 22 rnd magazines I believe, but this guy sells 22 rounders blocked down to 15: http://rrages.com/magazine/15round/index.htm

Thanks for sharing, did you miss any weapons exhibits in the country? Seriously, cool trip!

Any opinions on the Arredondo magwell that they sell as a combo with their couplers?:

But it shoots bird shot, the ultimate home defense load! :thsmiley_deadhorse:

Oh man, how could you not post that video from the slickguns site!?

These guys make a non-pistol grip "grip" http://www.exilemachine.com/

Interesting, is the guy in the first video aiming using a video camera mounted on the gun?

Yep, put it in the microwave oven, permanently fried.

I'm guessing OP was employed and did not have a suit filed at the time they submitted their FID paperwork. Remember how long some towns take to process FID's/permits?

I believe either one will "keep ammo" just as well. However the metal ammo cans definitely can take more abuse and stack higher without deforming.

cabela's. Federal American Eagle or PMC 55gr FMJ when it's on sale for $5.99/20 or less (seen it as low as $5.49/20). Usually buy it when they have a $5 shipping for orders >$150 deal.

Friend of mine ordered one (don't understand how he can order after I did, and his order is accepted and mine cancelled, but anyway...) and received it on Tuesday of this week.

Poignant demonstration of the possible danger of having lots of variability in weapon and holster controls.
