We'll see how the oil works out first. If that does not fix it then I'll just take the pads off the rear brakes all together. No pads, no grinding, Man, that grinding is annoying as hell.

The grinding is only when the brakes are applied. I don't hear any noise when coasting slowly (cold or hot) so I don't believe the caliper is hanging up. Good guess though..

Well, I just got back from a milk run. I inspected the rotors before I left and there was a small amount of rust speckling the rotors. I fixed it good though, I sprayed WD40 and motor oil all over the entire brake system.

I too suspected rust, but why all of the sudden. I've been driving this car for over a year and the rotors just now decided to rust. It don't add up.

About a week ago my rear brakes started making a grinding noise. My first thought was that the pads wore down and now it's metal on metal. But, there are two tiny problems with that assumption. 1) The pad wear indicators never squealed to let me know the pads were worn. 2) The pads are not worn out, I took the car to a mechanic and he said the brakes are fine and the pads still have 70% pad thickness. Each day, after driving and braking a few miles, the noise seems to go away until the car sits for a while. I was thinking oxidation can cause noise but just sitting overnight does not seem like enough time for rust to set in. So, I'm at a loss. I need a second opinion. Besides worn pads, what else causes grinding noises in brakes?

Better yet, bring your MP3 player/RECORDER. Before you walk in, hit record and stuff it in a shirt pocket. I think most will record about 6 hours or more of audio.

Banana.

Congratulations!!!

Oh man, Bad timing, I burned my FID in protest of NJ's firearms laws this morning.

Are you brain damaged or something?

Those figures are more or less in line with the data presented during the second attempt at an AWB after Newtown. It was argued that the scary black guns are used in so few crimes that the number was statistical insignificant compared to the blood lust to take away our guns. The real problem was people who should not have guns are getting them, many times through the system that is supposed to flag them, even though they were disqualified and the ones that got caught were not prosecuted so there is no real deterrent against trying to buy a firearm through normal channels. I forget who said it but they were pro 2A, they said more laws will not accomplish anything, especially when the current laws are not being enforced. Our politicians do not want to admit that they are impotent and incompetent, the only thing they can manage to do is take guns (and rights) away from law abiding citizens. Yes, disarm the people who are not criminals, that will solve everything.

If it is marketed as SS109/M855 then it must have a 62gr bullet with penetrator, sealed primer and sealed canneleur bullet. The green ID tip is not always present, other brands omit the green tip. Still, I shoot M855 almost exclusively and sub MOA is an extraordinary claim from a 3 MOA round. Not saying the guy is lying, just never heard of performance like that before..

Do you believe throwing out a simple minded meme with the intention of making someone feel stupid is the best way to counter an argument or opinion? If you do, you are wrong. First off, ad hominem attacks are weak and it's not even an argument. If you have a problem with someones post ( like I have with yours) then rebut the substance of the post with a rational response. Pictures work well for children but we are all grownups here. If one cannot cobble together a substantive response with words, it's just noise.

It comes with a "bespoked" barrel clamp and is available in a rainbow of colors. What's not to like.

I liked the one with a safe door entrance. Gives a whole new meaning to safe room.

If you thoroughly examine the substance of the article and the video, in the end, she says guns are great for a fun sport but owning one is unnecessary and she will never buy one. Compared to the way guns and gun owners are usually depicted in NJ, the article was stellar but the bar is so low here in NJ that seeing anything remotely pro 2A is shocking.

Buying crap because you don't have enough to buy a good something is a bad reason to buy crap. Itls also a trap, a crap trap. You buy crap, you will have to buy new crap to replace the old crap. You can spend three years using and replacing crap or you can just be patient and save for a quality item. Same money, more up time. Decide what the lowest level of quality you can live with is, then save until you have enough to buy something that's not crap.

Oh geezzz. M855 is not banned. You can buy it, you can shoot it at R-14. The reason it is banned at SOME ranges (mainly indoor) is because it damages the backstop. The backstop at a US Army base was specifically designed to stop exactly this round, and a lot more.

In all fairness, they won't let me shoot mortars there, freak'n a holes.

LOL, No, NATO ammo is not allowed on the US Army base range. (I'm being untruthful)

Get your spring fertilizer and per-emergent crabgrass control down asap. The best time to put crabgrass control down is just before Forsythia bloom. I also highly recommend lime. It's cheap and it helps your lawn not have to work as hard to pull what it needs from the soil.

Do you really want a glued together rifle???

So, I got myself a spotting scope, now I need a tripod for it. Any recommendations?

Looks good. Inspect every component of the gas system. There may be a leak.

Bates makes an ultra light boot that is unbelievably comfortable. I have bad knees and can't work in a heavy boot, the ultra light is easy on my knees. The tread is very grippy, good on all terrain and I can tell you they are 100% immune to bleach, ammonia and detergents. The only drawback, they barely last the landscaping season before they are toast. Other than that, they are fantastic, so good that I'm willing to buy a new pair every year. They are essentially a disposable boot.
