Cessna did the same thing with a Citation Ten. They drew an airplane though. http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N750CX/history/20080307/1757Z/KICT/KICT

I have the Canon T1I and love it. The ability to shoot hi-def video is a great plus but I don't us it as often as I had expected.

A square meal for a girl that size is a bouillon cube.

Not Photoshopped, just stupid thin. Google Ioana Spangenberg, she is noted for having a 20" waist. I don't mind thin girls but not like that. Gotta have some curves on the rest of the body. A little more booty, hips and up top and I may be interested. Till then, go eat please.

I forget where I had seen it but I want to say that someone was claiming1 trillion is roughly the number of grains of sand used in a beach volleyball court that is 6 inches deep.

Don't have any pictures of the Kawi.

I had started a kz1000 cafe build a few years back. I never finished it and even gave the bike away once I found my sportclassic. My Duc is more of the look I was after in the long run so I am good with it.

Every bullet I fire is self guided. I decide where the gun is pointed when I pull the trigger.

Smith makes it in several option levels depending on what you are looking for. A plain jane 38 special is the least expensive with mine going for around $1000 msrp (I paid around 800) plus another $300 for the grips. If you wanted to stay with the 38 special you can look at the 442/642 models that are roughly half the price of the 340pd.

I rode today on the Triumph. It's above freezing and the roads are clean, why not.

I carry the Smith 340pd Airweight. It's a nice gun and you forget it's there very quickly due to the very light weight. I chose to go for the Scandium framed .357 version for the extra flexibility of being able to shoot 38, 38+p or the .357mag. As a side note I would not recommend the .357 magnum cartridge in this gun to anybody without shooting it first. With 38 special the recoil is the same as a full framed .40 or .45, when loaded with .357mag that little handgun will almost break your wrist. I rented one up at NASR before buying it to make sure I knew what I was getting into for the extra cost. The Crimson trace laser grips with the rear overmold make a big improvement in felt recoil over the factory mini grips. The last picture was more for fun but it is awesome with such a short barrel that you can see the bullet when looking down the barrel. (And quit your bitchin, I reload so the one in the chamber for the photo is a dummy:rolleyes:)

I have three different types of easy outs. The standard tapered, spiral cut easy out. I have a set of tapered straight flute easy outs. And the last set is a set of straight walled 5 flute tools that you drill an undersized hole and then hammer into place and remove with a ratchet. It may not help much at this point but here is something else I have done in the past. If you can drill the bolt so it is down to just the threads. Run a tap down the hole for the original thread size. If you can get it started in clean threads it will cut any corrosion and whats left of the bolt out. You just have to go very slow so you don't break a tap off in there, they are just as bad as an easyout.

Something else to consider would be the .25-06. You can get factory loads from 85gr up to around 120gr. Velocities range from 3500 to around 2900fps for the heavy bullets. You can hand load down to a 75gr bullet with velocities up to around 3700fps. Looks like Marlin, Weatherby and Savage still make a new gun that would fit your price range. Used guns should be able to be found in your 4-500 range with a scope already on them. I sold my .25-06 Interarms Mark-X with Bushnell 3-9x50 a few years ago at a gun show for $300. I liked mine as it was a good gun for anything from deer down to groundhog and crow. Eastern PA didn't have much for prairie dog population so I don't know how it would work on them. Distance shooting was easy as the ballistics curve was very flat. Zeroed in a 200 yards you where roughly 1inch high at 100 and just under 5inch low at 300 with the 85gr bullets.

My sierra manual states 25.1 - 27.2 for their bullets. Now granted the Nosler website is saying 23-25 max. Gotta wonder what they are doing to have such low powder usage versus everyone else. Best thing would be to do as the other have said though and load the first few a little lower. I shoot alot of surplus bullets and bulk stuff that there isn't any load data for. I start low and work my way up until the crony says I am back in a good range of speeds for my guns.

And the latest black eye against SOPA is a petition for the DOJ to investigate the MPAA for bribery after the CEO basically admitted to bribery of politicians in DC.

Agreed with The King about joining the CMP and getting a gun from them. I have a CMP Garand and have purchased bayonets and thousands of rounds of ammo from up there. All at roughly half the going gunshow rate. Where do you think the dealers at the gun shows buy the stuff from. Go to http://www.odcmp.com/sales.htm for all the rules and prices.

It's a shame they won't bring the carbines into the country. I wouldn't mind having a second one. Guess I could settle for a third Garand if they are in good enough shape.

I have the Garmin summit HC. It's been a good unit for me. I had originally gotten it to go hunting. You can download maps to it and I have both the topography and city maps. The color display works very well. Only have two faults with it. Buy something with expandable memory. My older model HC is limited to internal memory only and can not hold more than 2-3 states worth of detailed maps. Second is that if used for driving, it does not do turn by turn. It always tries to send you offroading. Rechargable batteries last 7-8 hours, the lithum AA's almost 16, regular alkaline batteries are in between. The built in altimeter and electronic compass seem to be very accurate if they are calibrated correctly.

I wear the Timberland pitboss. http://shop.timberland.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4208215 Going on 10 years of buying that boot. First two pair lasted roughly 5 years each, just picked up my 3rd pair two months ago. The first two I wore the soles out before the leather went bad. Mostly as an aircraft mechanic so the entire 40 hour week walking around on concrete floors with some pretty harsh chemicals mixed in. Not made in the USA, the current pair I have say they where made in the Dominican republic.

The Mosin humor website is a gas. I had seen that a long time ago and their comparisons are pretty accurate.

Same as Kyle ^. I have the M-44 carbine. Great little rifle, accurate and easy to handle. Cleaning as above also, the ammo is corrosive primed for the most part. Fireball from the short guns (m-44 or m-38) is roughly basketball sized in daylight depending on the ammo brand. The fireball was one of the big reasons I got the short Mosin versus the longer 91/30. http://youtu.be/j0UcxiseRcw

Sixgun, I will have to try them out. Haven't had any decent Polish food since moving out to Columbus. I have resorted to bringing good kielbasa back from my parents place every time I travel back east. Makes things tough.

I have to disagree on the whole not cleaning a rifle (or pistol) barrel till it loses accuracy thing. I have several rifles that must be cleaned every time or they will rust before you shoot them again. All my guns get cleaned and oiled before being put away. Even if they don't form visible rust, I have seen plenty of guns build corrosion between the copper fouling and the rifling. I don't even believe the BS about the cleaning rods wearing out the bore. If you are wearing your bore out with a brass, aluminum of teflon cleaning rod you are really doing it all wrong. Heck, how many people feed steel jacketed bullets down the bore of their AK's and SKS's and I don't see them wearing out because of a soft brass cleaning rod. I have bore guides for my long guns that can only be cleaned from the muzzle to prevent the rifling from shaving the brass off my rods. My Garand with the match barrel is good for that, the rifling is so sharp at the end it acts just like a file and you can see the curl of brass come off the cleaning rod if you rub it into the bore without a guide. All the rest get cleaned from the chamber end. Pistols are obviously different as nobody really makes a bore guide for revolvers, anything that can be cleaned from the chamber end does. But even then, each of the pistols is cleaned after every range trip. I don't see wear issues on them either. My 1911 has over 15,000 rounds down the pipe and it's the original barrel. If I was doing damage to the gun by cleaning it every time it would have shown itself and been replaced long before now. Heck my German Luger P-08 has fired close to 10,000 rounds since I have owned it and god knows how many more since the barrel was made and it is one of the most accurate guns I own. Going by the serial number the barrel is 84 years old and the receiver is 91 years old. Somebody before me obviously cleaned it and took good care of it and I plan to do the same.

For lube I normally use Lubriplate grease on the semi-autos. The Smith revolver and the Ruger MK2 gets CLP as the grease seems to thick for them.
