    Resistance when turning over engine.

    Right here. Is the torque wrench resisting at the same point in every rotation? Besides the crank, don't forget the piston clearance.

    2 duds with Federal Hydroshok .45

    Although, 45 ACP was deigned to be a big bullet that gets the job done. They all fall to hard ball. Proof? WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam. No shortage of dead guys by the 1911.

    2 duds with Federal Hydroshok .45

    The later generation from Federal called HST. That is hydra shock technology. Go watch a few gel tests on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWW2Y-IZpyE

    132 year old Winchester found propped against tree in Nevada

    I wonder what Rick Harrison would pay for it.

    Speaking of which, Wal Mart (locally) actually had a bunch in their little glass locker. Most if it is good for plinking and not much else. I still use gun bot.

    The only thing that costs what the 7.62 x 39 cost is the 7.62 x 39. And as soon as you get quality round (I also have bulk Tula) the price goes way up. Sellier and Belliot sell it in 110 FMJ at a good price. But not Tula price. You comment on 6.8 price while sporting a .308?

    The M855 "green tip" was developed for the belt fed FN-249. The M16A2 was adapted to fit the round. And it does fairly well. But in the standard military carbine of 14.7" barrel, or even shorter for some the bullet fails to yaw (tumble) or fragment with great frequency. So it is just not...

    So one does not have to hit what they are shooting? Actually, its as hard as the 7.62 x 39, it is not between them. The thing is, rounds already exist in a platform like that. It was almost never used and had a short life. It is called the Thompson Sub Machine Gun in 45 ACP. Good plan...

    Make sure you do not get sucked into marketing phonies over the shitty 300 blackout. When you go with an aftermarket AR-15 variant in an alternative caliber, the 6.8 SPC is the best choice. Specifically in a carbine. That is what the cartridge was developed for. AKA the 6.8 x 43.

    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    Ford EEC IV and V are both very good. I would hardly laugh at it. They start great hot and cold without a CSI circuit. ECT and IAT the same? Cold start enrichment. It is that simple. Ford uses the term sync for the cam and crank signal. The cam being the hall effect switch. Now it is still...

    Eliminate Ford strategy from your mind with TCCS.

    Supra mk3 weight loss

    Because it is heavy. It weighs over 3600 lbs with the sport roof and additional bracing. It is a great GT, but not a great race car, especially on a budget.

    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    I will drive to Oregon and take care of it for $2500 in travel money, plus $250/hr straight time. You will have your answer in less than 2 hours.

    Call it whatever you want, the end of civilization as you know as Islam runs wild, zombies, or old fashioned combat, it is the best choice. Glock triggers suck, just like the colt trigger in the mass produced A2 rifle. But they work every time. The limp wrist is actually about the Glock, as...

    7MGTE 1989 Won't Start

    It allows air into the engine. If the engine is cold and STA (cranking) is active, a bunch of extra fuel is injected. Click here.

    Answer the question, does a set amount of air relate to a certain power rating?

    Well stated. What matters is how well the heat can be pulled from the fuel.

    For anybody that has never shot nor read, the Glock 21 is actually a much better choice. It holds 13 rounds. It is the most reliable thing there is, provided you don't have a sissy wrist, and it won't ever accidentally discharge. You have to pull the trigger. And they have a polygonal barrel...
