  1. We have a new contender for "stupidest gun idea ever"... Mossberg has gone to hell. Who in the hell needs a damn muzzle brake on a bolt-action .22LR?
  2. Experience...I had one briefly about a year ago that I picked up in a trade. I ran maybe 150 rounds total through it, tore it down several times, and never could get a good trigger. Mine didn't have anything on the dust cover, but I used a cut-up shoe pad and some double sided tape to add some cushioning. Maybe you just found the rose in the poison ivy, or I found the poison ivy in the roses...but mine was definitely not a rose!
  3. See, that's just what I was thinking...
  4. Is that a Century built bullpup? If it is, be prepared for disappointment. The trigger is HORRIBLE, you'll have literally zero consistency in take-up, pull, or feel. Beyond that...it's basically a stamped WASR, you'll get groups of 3-5inches @100 yards at best. And no iron sights, with your cheek against the dust cover...
  5. Thought I recognized that building. I worked there back when it was Eddie Bauer. It is HUGE, and since there are additions and expansions there are some sections that require trips like that. Golf carts were some fun back in the day... All those little drop-down firedoors in the walls were for the conveyor/sorter system they had set up. You didn't need to use forklifts except to load/unload at the docks, it'd all get thrown on the intake and sent wherever it needed to go, then you'd stack onto pallets or in totes and use a palletjack. Bet that's some of why the floor is failing too, there was a TON of vibration and there were mounting bolts coming loose all the time.
  6. I've had a 7 week old domestic KITTEN get freaked out and escape the carrier in a car once...we're talking about a 1.5 pound ball of fluff, and in the 20 seconds or so it took to get pulled over and stopped it ricocheted off of every window at least twice, pooped on the console, left paw prints on the bottom of the sunroof glass, and in the end the only reason it abandoned plans to make a last stand behind the clutch pedal was because it realized that turning into a whirling dervish of needle-sharp claws and high-pitched screeching was MUCH more effective if it did it while wrapping itself around the BRAKE PEDAL and my Chuck Taylor'd foot... This thing can do all that AND bite your face off.
  7. The DVD guy always has some cool foreign war movies to look through.
  8. Or "CMH"...it's the three letter airport code for our city, channel 4 uses it in their identifier...
  9. Sorry, still wrapping my head around the 1911 as a "large" gun...a Government might be a little long, but the height and thickness are much less than most other .45s, especially double-stacks.
  10. Took 3 days in Madison for me.
  11. Throw in that the Isle of Man has an EXCELLENT trauma facility and a ton of EMTs and ambulances located all over the course. Now that mountain...if your buddies have cell signal (probably not) you are looking at a pretty long wait while they spin up a rescue helicopter just to GET TO YOU. If there's no cell signal, you wait while your buddy rides back, and if HE falls off too...
  12. Well, the left-hand drive thing isn't really an issue, only England does theirs that way. I THINK that most of the various RHD cars (other than Asian imports) are actually produced or assembled in England at factories there. They sell LHD in the rest of Europe from factories set-up for that. But yeah, it basically comes down to having enough market to be worth it.
  13. Their hand tools are still good, mostly...well, except for the ratchets with the plastic switches. Their power tools have gone downhill a bunch though.
  14. I love the mix of new and traditional in the car...the rear has a four-link with a Panhard bar...but keep the buggy spring and friction shocks. The front? Center-pivot wishbone located by another buggy spring, but with Heims at all the joints, and friction shocks. Little tiny drums that LOOK like the mechanicals, but are in fact hydraulic with a Hydroboost unit. And the alloy "artillery" style wheels are PERFECT.
  15. I've always wanted to fire a Lahti or Solothurn...wonder how this thing compares with those in terms of muzzle energy?
  16. Just like drifting is...style points and artistic impression have made the world suck.
  17. Or...how to get banned from an event for life! Well, they backed off to a one-year ban, which is dumb. He should have been arrested for assault, but hey...their event.
  18. Best advice I can offer is to be prepared for the yuck factor...because the nurses will NOT stop to catch a fainter, but they WILL step on you if you drop. Then they'll GIGGLE...
  19. Well, it is Carmax. They make their money on loan, repo after default, then reloan...
  20. El Karacho, +1 Rep for ya! Mine is exit lane jammers...they come screaming up on the left and brake check in just at the exit, even when there are ZERO cars behind you. I've been fortunate enough to demonstrate to a few of them that maybe, just maybe, the reason that crappy old minivan looks the way it does is because the owner put his money in the suspension and BRAKES.
  21. Cool...I always liked the original look best. The S/C are beautiful in their own way, but the Ace body has a NICE look to it.
  22. It's amazing how QUIET those things are...you expect a thousand horsepower to be LOUD.
  23. Does anyone make a replica of the original Cobra, the 260 and 289 powered cars without the fender flares? Every kit I've seen has been styled on the S/C look.
  24. VOGONS....it just had to be the Vogons.
