Duppie

Beat up pair of Dr Martins 3 eye greasy Gibsons.

Setting aside that Top Gear BBC has been around for over 30 years, they are not beholding to advertisers or sponsors which gives them the luxury of being brutally honest and irreverent without big money indirectly dictating content.That in of itself offers the freedom to be them selves. Another fact is that none of the cast is a professional driver and come across as the everyman just like you and me instead of some over primped washed up professional wheel

Yes they do get quite a bit of milage on playing up American sterotypes but in fairness they are just as, if not more brutal on their fellow Brits not to mention the whole EC.

Smoking 50 took time out to guest me at his range and run myself and 2 others through our stance,and control. Thanks Dave,it was educational and fun.

The Vietnam episode proves your point....no cars were driven and it is one of the best IMHO.

A pale, anemic and unworthy imitator to the original Top Gear. Hardly worth the effort.

I've bought 6 boxes in a upstate NY Walmart and have gone through 3 so far without incident.

I encountered Cudas of all sizes all across the Caribbean and frequently hunted and shot them wearing everything from gold chains, earrings,watches as well as a polished stainless break away spear head on my primary gun....just as long as you're not spraying canned cheeze wiz into a school of reef fish, you have nothing to worry about.

...So you remember that Jacques Cousteau segment also?... The fact is Aruba has a few coral reefs but they are rather anemic and sparse.so reef and ocean going Barracuda is of little concern.

It's been many years for me so I can't add much to the discussion except..... Don't over think it.It's your Honeymoon so there should be only one thing on your mind...your new wife. She'll remember and appreciate it. Don't be too ambitious with all the activities, you and your new wife will need time to just relax and be still for awhile. The sun is brutal this time of the year, so prepare to be burnt and exhausted. The Wind is relentless so the hotel pool area is your respite. Get in and under water. because of no natural runoff and proximity to major currents, visibility is typically 100 ft + Cuban rum and cigars....nuff said. In duty free...haggle like the Chinese and start at half of asking price.Be prepared to walk. Congratulations and enjoy.

Every store reflects the personality and professionalism of that manager. ie: at the EB location they have done away with the non sense of asking if you're a citizen and regularly adjust the price so I can avail of my coupons. Dave works in the Lodge dept and while not a shooter, he has always been honest and willing with his time and opinions.I guess to each his own but I like shooting .19 cent Remington UMC 9mm ammo and so do my guns.......

Understand that the associates and cashiers are frequently only parroting what an assistant manager or head cashier who trained them said without a thought of how it would impact their CSI,also ringing up coupons take time and thought both at the register and at cash out.A well run store will frequently forgo an obscure policy in Lew of a satisfied customer and the possibility of a good and more importantly,profitable review lodged in their company's customer feedback website. Politely appeal to their better judgment and you would be surprised what you can accomplish.

I've elaborated on their policy in other threads but the only thing I buy at Dick's is ammo and always with a coupon.I shop at their East Brunswick and Freehold branches and never have a problem simply because if the policy of no ammo with coupons were written in stone why is it that a MOD's override at the register is not needed to ring up ammo with not one but two coupons I frequently use?Don't take an associate's or cashier's word for it but have them call a MOD and explain that their sister stores practices excellent customer service and I am trying desperately to give you my money but because of some very intelligible writing on a coupon awarded to a good but now confused customer you are in essence refusing my hard earned cash. OK.....that's laying it on a bit thick but you get the gist. A good manager who's looking at his CSI {customer service index} will gladly take the coupon but sometimes only if you ask and as a reward log on to their website, give a glowing review and print another $10.00 coupon. Everybody wins but only if you expend a little energy and appeal to their bottom line.A large % of a Dick's manager's bonus sometimes depends greatly on that CSI rating and 1 bad review can mean thousands of $s.

Thanks....I've got 2 $10.00 coupons to use up so I'll be there this week.

Just heard back from both my references and both received the request in Saturday's mail so for those of us counting, that's 9 days. Not too shabby but now lets see when I get the call to pick up.

I believe I read that barrels can be refitted if removed carefully but all barrels must be re-lathed to insure it lines up properly.There were also some question about a ongoing issue with new S&W revolvers being delivered with ill fitted barrels and if refitting by the factory was a viable alternative over a authorized smith.

I see, I searched online also as to what it entails to re-barrel a S&W but was unclear if your $225.00 included the replacement barrel or just the labor with/without shipping. I really would like a 3 inch barrel but depending on the time available on my permits,availability and finances, I may just settle on a gently used 4 inch and have it converted later or bite the bullet and pay the premium price asked for the 3 inch barrels.

I would be interested also since I'll be in the market for a 686 with my next round of permits but I want a 3 inch barrel while 4 inch versions predominate. On purely a cost factor basis would it not be feasible just to sell or trade your 21/2 inch version and source the length you're interested in?I am aware the lock is sometimes a make or break factor in such a decision but is that the case here?

I posed the very same question last week and it turned out to be more of a process of verifying info,ID and payment than an interview. I suspect, as does others ,it's a way to put a face to a name instead of allowing some harried elderly clerk to just take payment and shuffle papers.I wouldn't worry.

Just as an aside. I too have small hands and the CZ 75b fits perfectly.I have not had the pleasure of firing the P-01.

Don't mind if I do. I'll PM you.

Put in a request for in the Want to buy section and back it up with Firearm price request to NJGF vendors and someone will get back to you one way or another.If you don't find it here I believe I saw a Stainless at Shore Shot several weeks ago but even that's a long shot considering the popularity of the CZ. Good Luck.

I recall several conservative annalist and brokers warning about the frenzy such an offering would produce. I also recall a question they all asked possible investors to consider....do you believe FB to have potential for enough growth for the share price to make sense? and if so, what are the possible growth sectors? I have neither the resources,imagination nor experience to answer such a question but still considered it a valid one.

Please keep us apprised of the situation and outcome if you would. Good luck.

I've not thought of it in those terms but it makes so much sense. I am the most inconsistent with my Sig P250 to the point that Phil at SS wondered if my sights were off yet I can produce good,tight groups both with my CZ and even a Taurus 605 with less than perfect channel sights.Now I am not discounting the possibility that I just suck and have a disdain for the Sig but your explanation sheds some light.
