What the hell are you talking about? When it doesn't snow, that truck gets parked in my backyard. The plow goes on in November, and I remove it in March or April. I use it as a backup truck during the summer months.

X2 ON THAT!!!! Let it snow! When I see that white stuff fall, I see $$$$ go into my pocket!

Take the car to a bodyshop and have them weld the body panels in the thing. You cannot stick weld body panels. It is an exercise in frustration at best. Especially if you are buying the cheapest crappiest welder available. You can braze them, you can gas weld them, you can MIG weld them, you can TIG weld them. Hell on some you can go really old-school and lead them in if you want. There is a reason why no bodyshop in the history of bodyshops has ever used a stick welder for bodywork. Stick welding is for thick steel. Thin stuff is a PITA, and you need to whip that electrode around to spread the heat quickly so you don't burn through. I know this from experience, welding on 10 gauge sheet metal. I've burned through a couple boxes of 6011 on my old Lincoln AC-225 "tombstone" welder.

Pirates should be shot, not taken prisoner. No country since the 19th Century has authorized any Privateers, so its not like that is a potential issue anymore. Interestingly the United States never signed the anti-Privateer treaties that were enacted by the European powers, so Congress still has the authority and potential to authorize privateers to act on the behalf of the U.S. if they so choose. Fascinating stuff, really.

I haven't been in there in ages, and I live one town over from there. I do not consider them to be anything near a proper "gun" store, just a generic outdoors-type store that also has a small hunting section. Them requiring you to have your FID and logging it in every time you buy ammo rankles me. I do my ammunition shopping on the internet, and get it shipped right to my door.

Be aware that a bad battery can also cause the alternator to fry itself. Not common, but it can happen. When you run a car with a dead battery, the alternator is constantly at full field, trying to charge it. Running at full tilt like that can burn it out.

None of them besides Barrett has the stones to do that.

Holy hell the put some fast burning pistol powder down those guns. Load that stuff in a regular rifle and it'll blow the hell up too!

No, at that point they will shed their masks and espouse their Communist beliefs openly and widely. The only "leader" they are looking for is a hardcore radical along the lines of Vladimir Illych Lenin to organize and galvanize them towards action, resulting in a violent overthrow of the legal sitting government.

Tell them to keep their traps shut and keep the firearms. Apply for FID cards. You do not need to register firearms. Talk to a good gun lawyer (Evan Nappen comes to mind, though I myself have had no dealings with the man).

They haven't designed dashes like that since the 1980's dude. Labor is what is killer on heater core jobs. The heater core itself usually only costs around $40-50. I usually pad heater core labor, as it is hard to beat or even meet time. Usually ends up being a two day job.

What is the shipping cost like for powder? I thought it was rather excessive due to HAZMAT requirements and whatnot.

Stockpiling is all well and good, but keep in mind that in an emergency you can only use as many rounds as you can carry in a practicable manner. I for one do not plan on lugging around a spam can of Mosin ammo! Invest in stripper clips/magazines, as well as all the accoutrements that are required to comfortably carry said munitions. I myself am currently torn between investing in A.L.I.C.E. or MOLLE systems at the moment, having withdrawn the old WWII stuff from consideration entirely.

Ammunition manufacturers or importers of ammunition, if they are big-time middle-men. It is just like any other product. To get wholesale prices, you must buy in LARGE lots, as well as establish and maintain contacts throughout your industry. Basic business networking.

Hey man, Philly cheese steaks are DAMN good. I could stand to lose about 20 lb myself.

I suppose your not allowing it to work with full manual spring pressure on the first round. Yank back hard on the bolt, make it slam itself into battery firmly. For the record, I haven't had any such issue with my Chinese SKS.

I forgot earmuffs one time. Yes, rifles are indeed LOUD. How war vets can hear at all is a wonder to me.

If Foles keeps up the good work, Vick is as good as gone next year. Good riddance, I say. Vick was a liability from day one, and not worth the negative press.

I wonder if they'll bring that stuff down to the Millville race track. Lord knows they have enough land to build a bmx track.

Cottman Trans over in Woodbury is who I send customers to. Nick over there knows his stuff. There's a good trans shop down in Mount Holly that specializes in Mopar transmissions too, called Mt Holly Transmissions. Fella named Paul runs the place, and knows his way around A727 transmissions real well! # is 609-894-4609

O Lord those things are a nightmare. Good luck finding a mechanic who will touch the thing. I have fixed a couple in the past, and they suck to work on. Parts are hard to get for them, as well as being expensive.

One question that I rarely see is not "do you have enough ammo" for whatever rifle, but "can you carry enough ammo for your rifle?" Having ammo is all well and good, but if you can't carry it, it is useless to you. ALICE, MOLLE, or ex-Soviet web gear systems may be a good investment to have, and keep packed with ammo to grab and go if needed....

Any pre-Communist M1891 is pretty damn rare and a good buy IMO. Look for Sestroryetsk rifles as well. That factory was shut down in 1917-8, so those are rare. Pretty much everything rare you can find info on at 7,62x54r.net So where's my invite hmm? I would love to add to my collection! I want a Chatellerault!

BMW's don't use lug studs and nuts, they use lug bolts. If you break them, it usually shears the head of the bolt right off, leaving the threaded part in the hub. It usually spins right out by hand. Just use a breaker bar and a 17mm deep 1/2" drive socket. Those bolts should only be torqued to about 80 ft-lb. To answer your question, yes, a standard length "socket wrench" (obsolete but accurate term for a ratchet) is inadequate to tighten and loosen lugnuts or lug bolts.

Combat rifles should not be treated gingerly. Beat on the thing!
