  1. For the years of friendship and expertise, this is the least I can do.
  2. Phil - do you know the story on the different rear suspension?
  3. I don't think that's correct, unless they have some wierd relationship with Ken or Chris as they don't support the E78 controllers yet. Shouldn't be long.
  4. There's a few things to consider, namely, the size of your target. A man sized target @ 300m is about the size of the front sight post on most mil spec/standard iron sights. It can be challenging to hit but certainly doable. 1x of mag per 100 yards has always worked for me personally; keep in mind optics will tend to lose clarity as they're cranked up. The nice thing about the EOtech is their reticle setup. Their (~1/3) 1 MOA dot is roughly the size of an inch at 100 yards, 2" at 200, etc so it works well on chest size target in the higher ranges for the 5.56. The 65 MOA donut helps in range estimation and can be handy in up close and personal situations. (65MOA is about 32" at 50 yards, 16" at 25, etc) I debated going with a DMR 1-4x, ACOG, or EoTech's FTS Magnifier for my old school 512 and decided to rock the FTS Magnifier as I'd come to like the EoTec over the Aimpoints on my deployment. The largest drawback of it is twofold: 1) No space, for anything. I have an old 512 and with the magnifier, there is no room on my top rail for backups like before. 2) I'm completely dependent on batteries. What can go wrong usually does. 3) Lack of easily establishing BDC If I were to do it all over again, I'd probably use the XPS-3 with their BDC dots. While the sight picture is clear and decently bright, it is hard to argue against an ACOG or DMR optic with 30mm tube and decent exit pupil size. The eye relief is kind of short, so you have to adjust when switching over. My brother recently bought a Millet DMS 1-4x to test. While the quality was on par with 200$ optics, it's actually not a bad buy. Nikon also makes their M-223 1-4 optic that is a decent buy as well. Overall: think of the targets; consider the subtensions of the reticle, and plan for the inevitable dead batteries.
  5. I'm not against the round or the weapons, but can you find 54R in the box stores? I'm no expert on the Mosin or PSL, but I don't see them being as accurate out of the box as a late model 700 or Savage. No hateraid.
  6. What turbo is on that bad boy? Looks good!
  7. 10/22 is a great choice, like the honda civic of .22s
  8. .308 is probably your most common, 168-175 gr rounds do well at the 700-800 yard mark against medium (human like) objects.
  9. Congrats, good to see them doing well!
  10. Vince, not sure if you've found one, but try giving the folks at Morad Parts a call. http://www.moradpartscompany.com/ P (216) 671-3736
  11. I would say work slowly, divide the solution into phases. VMware is powerfull, but don't forget the back end to make all the cool stuff work (SAN,Networking Provisions, etc)

  13. Just bought my E46 to....good luck with the sale.
  14. Anything wrong with the 1.8? Mainly playing the gas mileage game.
  15. Looking at a 2006 Sentra S 1.8 for a beater, any pitfalls I should be mindful of? Car is a TX car, 83,000 on the clock, loaded, has all records. Only major work done was the steering rack replacment due to a leak, and the fuel pump replaced as a recall (hot start?). Thanks!

    We had some 'nam era mags when we deployed, stretch spring back out -- all better.
  17. It's a rear (post cat) O2, only really used for EPA business.
  18. That was once said about camshafts, yet we now have completely indepdent variable camshafts that produce very noticeable differences in power, enough to become a standard in this day and age.
