  1. Even the less expensive AR15 can be expensive depending upon how they're optioned out. Grips,sights,scopes all determine the end cost.

    CMMG(from what I've gathered/heard is a company that assembles finished ARs' with parts from various sources) and DPMS are probably the two least expensive in the basic platform arena.

    The company that owns DPMS also owns Remington,Marlin,H&R,Bushmaster,& Dakota.

  2. after 12 drive down trips to Florida,ya never have enough time to do everything planned.

    you never said what your interests are.

    I go down for major car events,amusement parks,flea markets,country bars,and the weather.

    Busch Gardens pricey for having only 4 major coasters,Kumba,Montu,Gwazi,& Shiekra.

    Universal Islands of Adventure has only 2 major coasters,Hulk & Dragon Challenge,but the park visuals of Marvel characters is great. Was there 4 weeks ago.

    Daytona/Daytona Beach,not much happening except during events. The Daytona track has tours(for a fee).

    Not much going on in Orlando except for the theme parks,Disney,Universal,& Sea World.

    Flea markets all around.

    Kissimmee 'Old Town'-interesting shopping area with cruise-ins on friday & saturday nite.

  3. my first (don't forget I'm old,64) was 60 chevy convertible,got it after high school in 1964,couldn't find a pic,but a pic on google is what it looked like except 6 cyl.

  5. Beretta 92FS Inox 9mm

    -stainless steel version of standard 92FS

    -Italian production before Beretta had a production line in the USA for the Inoxs',Italian versions were individually made instead of production line versions,better fit and finish.

    -$600

    I'll be posting it on Cleveland Racing and take it to the Euclid Gun Show next weekend.

  6. Bob and I went down for Daytona Beachs' '1st Annual Dream Cruise' in October of 08. They attempted to duplicate Detroits' 'Dream Cruise',they failed BUT because of the 'other stuff' not officially connected to the dream cruise,it's worth going to. Found out about 'Mexico' acivities but were never able to get to those. Rt.A1A,along the beachs' commercial district,was active in the evening and at a shopping center up A1A,the lot was full of cruise cars and across the street in an open underground garage was 'Orlando Rat Pack',all chevy big block 'doorslammers'. They fired up and cruised on A1A.

    A month later,we went to Daytona for the 'Turkey Rod Run'. At the tracks' infield was some national vendors,a swap meet(huge),car corral(could be 50% of the infield) and show cars. Also was the unofficial activities.

    We were planning on the dream cruise this year,but Cedar Points' last few weekends took precident. We're going for the Turkey Rod Run,Thursday we'll do a couple local cruise-ins(their good car weather is just starting),Friday-Universal Islands of Adventure,Saturday-the Turkey Rod Run at the racetrack. Hope to get in also 'Coyote Ugly' in YBor(Tampa) and 'Cowboys'(country bar) in Orlando.

  7. how good is the columbus(expo cntr) gun show ? might drive down from cleveland on sat for it,not looking to buy or sell,just go to a different gun show.

    the shows in the cleveland area are good and the circuit will be in Niles this weekend so a Columbus show would have different dealers and privateers than what I'm used to seeing.

  8. got 168 Rds of 180 JHP reloads

    no longer shoot 44 mag

    48 rds-1468 fps avg

    100 rds-1507 fps avg

    20 rds-1608 fps avg

     

    $70-equivalent to $20 per 50 rd. box

     

     

    also have 168 Rds of 30-06 handloads/reloads

    sold the Rem 700ADL 30-06

    MIL cases,147 FMJBT,CCI-BR2,IMR3031,2910fps avg

    if they don't sell,I'll pull the bullets and use them and the powder for 308Win.

  9. Buy both !

    neither one I no longer have(owned both at a similar time period),and enjoyed both of them. the 38/357 compatability was great for light target loads,never encountered the myth of 38s' not accurate because of the extra jump to engage lands. 44M was a pleasure to shoot,even with hot handloads.

    If I had to choose,I couldn't,I appreciated and enjoyed both.
