Anyone into Harleys?
Been riding a 1958 Panhead since 1979. Tried a honda interceptor, found it boring at normal driving. Ridged frame and hand shift make 55mph fun.

Stihl chainsaw help
In an six hour saturday of firewood cutting you can go through three or four chains even if you dont hit dirt or metal in the wood. If you need to have at least a dozen spare chains or your not gonna cut much. Six will be in the shop getting sharpened, the others on the saw geting dull. I cut 6-8 cords a year with an 028 Stihl

Help a Friend - .44 Magnum Rifles
Had a 96/44 lever, sold it, regret the sale somewhat. Nice rifle to carry in the woods, but one can not do that in NJ. Poor choice for range shooting because the barrel would heat up. At 100yds the 5th shot would hit about a foot high if you shot to fast.

Any guitar players out there - need some advice as a beginner
I'll add to the buy used line. Did it myself last year, after not playing for 25 years. Took some time, watched the ads, found a Strat and amp for $250 that looked new and plays fine. And yea six months later I bought a tube amp . . .

Uncle tried to tell me not to put guns on Facebook, .. GFY!, WTF?!
I agree with your uncle. I stay off social media. Like him I hold a clearance and work in the aerospace industry. You better believe that your facebook page will be looked at by employers. Being legal is meaningless, Perception is everything, in the real world guns, hunting and shooting are not part of the mainstream anymore. It sucks but that's the real world. Very few people get the job they want working for people that think like they do. Anything that you post can and will be held against you by people looking for an edge, or those that are weak and afraid. At 59 years old I've held more jobs, owned more guns, been more places then most of you and have seen it happen many times and not just with firearms. If you are different then they are you are a target for contempt and suspicion. What you do now follows you for the rest of your life. Like tattoo's you may regret it later

308 or 30-06
Performance wise both rounds throw a 150 or 180 gr at the same speed. Yes the 30-06 can use ( and the mag box can hold) a heavier 220gr but no one really uses them in the real world. Recoil is the same, I have shot both calibers in the same model rifle with the same stock, weight, action and barrel lenght, no real difference (FN Mauser). 3/8 inch difference if short action but no real weight difference. In theory more mill surplus ammo is available for the .308 then the '06. But no hunting with hardball so thats not much help. Yes the 06 holds a little more powder but your not going to turn it into a 300mag and max velocity rarely is the most accurate. Loaded '06 hunting ammo tends to be cheaper in most places Get the rifle that you like best, no advantage with one caliber over the other. If you worry about recoil you want to shoot a lighter weight bullet at more moderate velocity

Pellet rifle
Muzzle brake on an air rifle (normally) is used as a cocking aid or handle. They do not affect recoil or manage hot gas discharge. Also mostly used to cover the front sight mounts or holes in the barrel when a scope is mounted. And they look kool the yellow airgun forum

Installing a wood burning stove in a fireplace?
I've run a wood burning insert for close to 20 years. Heats the whole house with no problem. Yes a stove may be better but when its about 89 deg in the living room in January it seems that the efficiency is a bit over rated. As for fire hazard keep in mind that your running a steel pipe up a masonry chimney, yea common sense prevails but brick don't catch fire. What you need is a cleaning brush and rods to keep that pipe clean.

Remington 700 VTR (scope? rings? bipod?)
those flat sided barrels are not the greatest, issues with heating up and wandering. Do look through the scope before buying, high power scopes are a lot less forgiving then a 3x9 for eye position, brightness and clarity. For groundhog I use my 4-12 and 4-14 equipped rifles more then the ones with 6-24x Burris and 6x20 Leupold scopes

muzzle break on bolt guns
Useless, myself I don't even want one on a AR. On a AR, no recoil. On a hunting rifle you never notice recoil when hunting, on the range shooting off a bench you can pad up, if your practicing for hunting why are you shooting off a bench ? Tactical cosmetic accessory for the most part

Gamo Showstopper air rifle
well known fact among airgun shooters is that pellets, when pushed supersonic, simply are not accurate. Don't get hung up on speed. And if your pushing a pellet that hard there's a good chance that the piston seal is slamming into the end of the compression chamber, not at all good for the seal. PBA pellets are junk, pure and simple. A good accurate brake barrel should easily hold 3/8" groups at 25 yds (dime size) for 10 shots. An 850fps pellet will stop rabbits and squirrels easily out to 45yds if you do your part and shoot well.
