I'll be there with the Firehawk.

That looks like a M44 carbine. If it is, the date on the receiver is likely from the late 40's to mid 50's. See if it say 59 anywhere on it as some carbines are the 59's and are not as common as the M44's. Values vary widely. I've seen M44's as low as 200 and 400+ if it's something special. Check the bore and see if the rifling is good and sharp or dark and nasty. Check the end of the barrel and see how far from the crown is the rifling. Since most of the 54R ammo is corrosive, if it was shot a lot and not cleaned, the bore may be deteriorated. The condition will largely dictate the value.

 

As an aside, if it's an heirloom, consider keeping it. As long as it's safe, they are fun shooters and are reasonably accurate. Hope this helps.

Wow.....just....wow.

Here are a few

You mentioned pickups. How about a blazer with the 4.3? They run forever, are big enough to hold 4 people and parts are cheap. Plus blazers always seem to be cheaper than the 4dr s10's.

:whistle:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She's got her finger on the trigger. Don't they teach them gun safety at stripper school?

So one question.....since the car was acquired through trade, can I put $0 as the purchase price on the title? I've done this the past but not in several years, do they still allow this? I've heard that they make you put the "trade value" now but I'm not sure how true that is?

 

I would put a minimal value and maybe take a few pics of the worst areas of the car. My dad tried to give me his old car once and the title place was a total PIA because it said $0. Last time I did a trade I put 500 for my blazer and took some pics of the rusty areas. I showed them the pics and they didn't have any issues. Good luck

8th character is E. It's the L03 "truck motor". Most people don't even realize you could get an IROC with it because like you said, most were TPI.

 

Interesting. I learned something new today.

 

Congratulations on a great trade! The look of the 3rd-gens is aging well, especially the later years.

 

Later years? Clay are you calling us old? I'll take my teef out and wack you with my cane.

Yea third gen! Congrats. I've never seen an IROC that wasn't a tpi. What's the 8th number in the vin? I've always seen 350 cars are an "8" and 305 cars are "F"

 

Check out thirdgen.org if you have any questions. It's a good forum for everything third gen camaro/firebird.

Here is the address: DoubleTree Hotel, 175 Hutchinson Ave, Columbus, OH 43235

There is an all Pontiac show on Sunday on the north side. On Saturday it says there is a cruise in open to all makes and models. It may be fun for anyone looking for something to do Saturday night. I'll be there both days with the Firehawk.

Offers? Need the space. I will also do a partial trade for an SLP air lid for a LS1. Thx

The 1911 is a great gun and platform. Is it the "best" for home defense, probably not. If the question were what should I buy, I would have said a boring G17 or full sized M&P just like in the previous replies.

 

But the OP has already purchased the gun so it's what he has to work with. Try sevseral ammo types and make sure it is "broken in" if needed before you rely on it. Make sure you try several types of defense loads not just cheap ball ammo. Remington has had some quality issues but their 1911's seem to get good reviews. I still say dry firing even a 1911 is a good thing. Parts are cheap and unless there are flaws in the quality, it would take thousands of repetitions for anything to fail. Get used to the trigger, the reset, the sights etc.

 

Also get to a concealed carry class. Even if you don't get the license, the training and especially the legal education is worth it. Read Allan Korwin's book, After You Shoot. It's a must read for anyone who wants to use a weapon for self or home dense. Good luck.

Isn't dry-firing a big no-no?

 

Are you saying to practice handling your gun around the house, unloaded of course, to make sure you're comfortable retrieving it and moving around?

 

I hardly handle my gun outside of a range!

 

Clay, Dry firing is a very useful tool for several reasons. First always be safe and remember the rules of gun safety. Some guns need to be broken in and dry firing is a cheap way to do it. Dry firing will also give you a new prospective on your house. Look through the sites at your living room or hallway. That is what it will look like if you ever need to use it. Its better to see it now and do it repetitively so it will not look foreign later. It is also a good technique to identify flaws in your shooting. Pick a spot on the wall. Where do your sights go when the hammer falls. There is a click but no boom. Are you low left, low right, did you flinch? Its an easy way to work on undoing bad habits. (I really need to do this too).

 

Thanks man- I agree, a gun is a gun when it comes time to save yourself, just making sure that after dropping $500 on a particular one, I got a decent one. I typically do the range around that amount but maybe now that I have a larger gun (the LC9 was tiny) I could probably go more.

 

Go more. Get used to your gun, its controls, its recoil, its noise etc. Add me to your list if you want to go. I am a member at LEPD and am always happy to put holes in paper. I'm never going to win a bullseye contest but its a lot of fun! For S&G's check out the latest episode of the Proarms Podcast. Massad Ayoob just did an interview with a pharmacist that saved his life using a 1911. http://proarmspodcast.com/

This is a canned answer but any gun can be an effective home defense weapon. The 45 has good stopping power. Make sure to have extra mags and good ammo. The most important thing is get to the range a lot more than 1-2x per year. Also practice in your house and dry fire. Good luck and hope you never have to use it.

Steve, sent you a pm. Thx

Steve, the wheels are in great shape. They are aluminum but are very shiny. I don't know the back spacing but you're welcome to swing by and test fit. They were on my old 97 accord. The filled out the fenders but didn't stick out if that helps.

Selling an older set of of 16 inch Sacchi wheels. They fit 4x100 as I had them on my old Accord. The tires hold air but are old and I wouldn't drive on them far. Price $180 for CR. The CL link is below with pics. Thanks

Contact the local golf courses. I don't golf but I've appraised a few and they depreciate them fast. That way they can buy new ones every few years. Find out if any courses are looking to unload a few at the end of the season. Lots of larger apartment complexes do the same thing.

Congrats!

I would recommend to a pediatrician and get fitted for orthotics My wife has planter fasciitis and for a while could barely walk. With her orthotics and a custom boot for stretching at night she is doing fine. But as they wear out/down she gets replacements every couple years. I can get you a name if you want. Good luck.
