Nice gun but not liking the massive front sight. The first Night Guard series included a really sweet K frame .38 Special that I wanted.. In any event, my full size .38 revolvers have me well covered. I don't shoot .357 in handguns and can do without the extra weight. Also, .38 Specials usually...

I *never* get easy fixes like needing fresh fuel, so in all likelihood both saws need carb kits.

A cheap ass Fix Or Repair Daily 1998 Ranger is the best vehicle I ever owned. Slow, no air conditioning, noisy. But simple as dirt, cheap parts, good mpg. I took it places off road that would be challenging even for 4wd, I lost count of how many deer we hauled out of the woods with it. Sometimes...

The saws are kept in my garage which is always 40-50 F in the winter. They had been in the back of my truck for about 40 minutes when I went to use them.

So, dealing with 1950's electrical tech on my tractor, which is 12v -ground. Looks like my key switch is not sending 12v to the ST terminal on my solenoid when the key is in start position. It looks to me like somebody crossed the wires on the switch before I got the tractor, because I see the...

Maybe five months. All my OPE fuel gets a full ounce of stabilizer per gallon and is always stored in a sealed can.

Thanks, will do!

So, dumb question time. I was cutting with my CS-303T and CS-400 today, temperature was 28 F. Both of them started just fine, but acted really lean as soon as they warmed up. The 303 kept dying in the cut, the 400 wasn't much better. Both wanted to idle high too. Last time I ran these saws it...

Some people are just never going to do the right thing no matter what, I have several in my family. They may not even really be evil or intentional about it, just whatever It is that most of us have in our brains that causes us to (usually) follow the golden rule they just don't have and never...

Chronograph numbers for my fellow reloading nerds: Taurus 605, 2" barrel 3.8 grains Hodgdon Titegroup, .358 162 grain Lee 358-158-RF, CCI primer Low 731.5 High 769.0 Average 741.8 Ex. Spread 37.55 St. Deviation 13.78 Energy 197.92 Shot string 738.2 740.3 735.3 769.0 731.5 736.8

And the 605 is a real shooter at 10-12 yards with my Outdoorsman load of 3.8 grains Titegroup under a 162 grain lead flat point. Average velocity in the 605 is 740 fps and very consistent, point of aim is actually to the lower right of the red dot on the turkey. Very glad I bought this revolver...

The strap it came with was laughably short, so I added extra length to it.

I gave the 605 a good cleaning and oiling last night, I really don't think it has been fired or carried much. Very consistent .005-.006 barrel-cylinder gap and no indication that it has been disassembled or modified in any way. Today at lunch I took it for a quick test drive at 10 yards with two...

Yes, my 91 has a bike handle and support strap. It's awfully big not to. I'll have to ask my Stihl distributor buddy if he thinks a cruise control trigger can be installed. Or, if there is room on the throttle cable, I could just install a cable stop to hold it at my desired RPM.

That's my one and only gripe about my FS-91. I use it exclusively with a blade and it bounces off the rev limiter constantly at WOT. It's not only annoying but I can't imagine it's good for the engine. Runs smooth at about 60% throttle and still has plenty of power. I wonder if there is a way to...
