Probably 80% of my non-work internet use is for this forum. We've got a really good thing going and I don't want it to end. Just because some members are in a dispute with each other, doesn't mean that everybody else and everything going on here should suffer. I will keep showing up and...

Cool Ranch for Black Sunday=good score. Cool Ranch for their debut album=not so much.

One time when I was tech at a certain shop, I lost a 1/4 drive ratchet on a car. Couldn't find it anywhere, the customer had to pick up the car so I ate the loss and replaced it. I left that shop, worked somewhere else for a year, then came back to that shop. The same car came in for service and...

They come up on Fleabay all the time, that's where one of mine came from. FB Marketplace, Craig's List, and pawn shops are also good places to look.

You're a good grandpa, and I bet he will use it for decades to come!

Thanks!

It's a clamshell, so what would the base gasket delete do for it?

Love this ol girl, when I check out she might just go into the coffin with me!

Ok, I think I've figured it out! See the flanged bushing inside the oil pump drive? It is supposed to have the flange on the inside! If you install it with the flange on the outside, the flange will contact the clutch shoes, thereby also turning the clutch drum! I reassembled it, and now...

Lookswise they are miles ahead of the MS-170/180 series. Holy crap those are ugly.

Ok, I have officially found my new favorite scope. Burris Fullfield 2-8x35, $159.00 delivered from Midway. Regular duplex reticle, not the silly illuminated one. The one and only concern is the short mounting surface behind the objective but I'll just use a rail if I have to. I have larger...

Thanks. I haven't shot this particular Axis too much, but so far it seems as accurate as my older one is. I had to free float the left side because it drives me nuts to look at, not because of any functional problem.

So I'm getting my Savage Axis .308 ready for deer season and I noticed the left side of the barrel channel is not really free floated, which seems to be a trend for Savage. I relieved the left side of the barrel channel so it free floats now. I notice there is a fairly significant amount of...

Whats funny is, both of my grandparents quit smoking in the early 1980's and being true children of the Great Depression just repurposed their many ashtrays into coasters, flower pot bases, and paper clip trays. I keep my keys, wallet, and pocket knife in one of the larger ashtrays on my dresser...
