  1. I would like a street legal quad. They must be legal or else the group would not be riding them on the street. Just think of all the money I could have saved if I did not have to buy useless things like a helmet, riding jacket, boots, oh a headlight / tail light and licence plates.
  2. Nothing to add on the original thread, but if you get a chance to buy the PMR30, jump on it. I hear they are hard to find due to Kel-Tec not able to keep up with demand. I got to fire one, very cool and fun to shoot. Large flameball out of the end of the barrel.
  3. No windscreen on my bike. At 65 MPH, I think I am turning 5500 RPM's. There is just not much "sights and sounds" on the freeway. Only sound is the wind and my bike screaming it ass off.
  4. I did not save any casings, but they were not flat. If i remember correctly, there was a slight mark near the lip on the rim, on the one side, I assume from the extractor?
  5. I should change my signature to FEG instead of Remington.. I think i will change the recoil spring and see what happens, and also see about the extractor "tune"
  6. I cant trust it to go bang every time. I thought the issue was resolved after the replacement extractor. So now, either I take it to another person to make it right, or leave it in the safe. I was planning on possibly trading it off and wanted to have one last round with it before the Glock arrives. If it ain't right, I dont want to screwover the next buyer.
  7. I have 2 mags, happens in both. My mags in the real-deal functional Hi-power works properly at least 2 months ago,prior to replacing the extractor. I did not have the mags from the Hi-power to try this evening.
  8. Unknown on the return spring, I did not replace this, probably original to the gun. Not sure on copper fouling, but this gun does seem to get dirty quickly.Extracts and ejects properly by hand.
  9. ^^This is why I enjoy posting on Ohiofirearms.net
  10. Dammit!! now that the root cause is found, i'll have to get that Hello Kitty AR15
  11. I fired a 19 today, I still like the 17 a little better. I'll have a CZ82 for CCW, so I am not worried about the larger size of the 17.
  12. Thanks Chevy, pointed noted. I did not know you liked M & P's.....
  13. I suspect I will have one on Dec 11th, if not sooner ( Dale check your PM's). Now then, the 17 or the 17C?
  14. Looking for some input. I have an FEG PKJ-9HP 9MM ( Think Browning Hi-power form factor). I bought this gun used. Had issues when I first bought it with the spent round partially extracted from barrel, but the next fresh round will jam against the partially extracted case. It would not jam after every shot, but at least after 3 shots. I have a friend with a properly functioning Browning Hi-power ( the parts interchange)and I was able to try his mags, barrel and recoil spring in my FEG. Still same result. I tried different brands of 9MM ammo. I throughly cleaned the gun, took the slide apart and cleaned some crude from the extractor spring area. I thought the crude was the cause. Gun still only partially extracted the spent casing. Since I figured i needed a new extractor and spring and was not sure exactly sure how to "fit" the extractor, I ended up taking the gun to a gunsmith, who replaced the extractor, extractor spring and put a "relief" cut in the end of the barrel. ( that pissed me off but he said he does this to all his 1911's). The gun functioned properly when I picked up the gun, I was able to fire 28 rounds without an issue. So I was feeling good at spending $75 for parts and labor. Cleaned gun and put into safe. Today was the first time I was able to take the gun to the range since I picked it up from gunsmith, about 2 months ago. After the third shot, gun is back to partially extracting spent rounds. I did not have a camera with me at the range, but i was able to almost recreate what was happening and take pictures at home. And now, inside the slide, I am noticing some scrape marks that i did not notice before. So, either the extractor and or spring still needs some attention, or maybe a weak recoil spring, now that the extractor is belived to be functioning properly? Pics below: Spent round partially extracted: Marks on inside of slide that I did not notice before:
  15. Gun counter story today. I was at a local indoor range. I ask the 3 guys behind the counter, between a GLock 17 and CZ 75B, what you you choose. All 3 right away, Glock. They said Glock was reliable and low maintance and available for $519. Maybe the counter people are trained to sell Glocks?
  16. This season is kinda dragging along.
  17. The Gander in Twinsburg has a good gunsmith. Not so good on the counter help.
  18. I was planning on wearing my hunting gear and going as a "cameo-appearance", but that was kinda reaching...
  19. It does kinda make you wonder how and why events occur the way they occur. The last few years on Father's Day, my father and I have stuff that was just the 2 of us. One year we went on an all day motorcycle ride and another year we went to A and A target range. This year dad wanted to go to Presque Isle casino. I am not much into gamble, but I have on occasion. I figured it would be of a fun day to hang out and talk during the car ride. Well, dad ended up winning almost $500. I still bought him dinner at Quaker Steak and Lube in Erie. So maybe, in a wierd way, it was karma "allowing the win" since dad got to chose how to spend the day.

    Buck Down!!

    Looks good, but dang only one hour in and you got a hit. I am starting a bit smaller, trying for a fall turkey. No luck Staurday on my first attempt this year. I went zero for 5 attempts last fall. Next go round, I'll try for turkey in the spring when they are more active.
