  1. I don't really have any exciting updates. It is hard to work on a car when it is an hour away. The CAN gauge for the PRO EFI came in and the local machine shop finished my new intake flange.

    I still need to have a distributor cap delete made, not sure how I want to approach it yet.

  2. FYI the OPOTA yearly qualification course is a 25 round string of fire. This is the only time they are required to train with and fire their guns. A passing score is 20 of 25 shots.

     

    The majority of military personal do not train with handguns, and those that I have worked with have had to be retrained from scratch.

     

    While I won't comment on the skill level of the average CCW holder, the myth that Police and Military have an exponentially higher skill set simply is not true.

     

    I have taken my fair share of courses where LE or .mil guys look like they might be the ones about to shoot their pecker off.

  3. Good to hear similar functionality.

     

     

     

    Soap and water does wonders. Many people fear water with their guns. I have had to shower with my M4 a few times to get it clean. The last one was for it getting thrown form a vehicle and the weapon landing in amazingly pudding like mud. Aimpoint and weapon were completely sunken into the mud.

     

    Here in Ohio and shooting corrosive ammo you have to be pretty diligent with running water through them after use, especially AKs in certain areas. Humidity can suck it

     

     

    I do like Fireclean on gas tubes, gas blocks and other internal parts that see gas and heat directly but not necessarily sunlight. I have taken apart my AR just to see what the VDI life coat looks like after some rounds and the gas tube slide right out of the gas block with no real effort and any ash wiped right off.

  4. I have used it my guns for awhile and experienced no issues except that my 1911s do not like it very well. For those I stick with traditional grease. They function fine but when racking the slide it feels slow or sluggish especially after running 1000 rounds of steel case through them. I could switch to a 20# recoil spring but I would rather not just so use a certain lube.

     

     

    I have never experienced any issues with the rusting problems in the heat. I mostly shoot corrosive ammo ( AKf0lyfe) so I run water through all my guns after each use so that might cause the corrosion to slow or stop.

  5. Interesting, hopefully we will be able to see this on an upcoming Saturday morning in the spring... :)

     

     

    Lets hope so, now that I am done modding the truck I can refocus on the car.

     

    There's always more than we think.

     

    There were 96 yellow 996 GT3's in all of North America....there are 3 in central Ohio :-(

     

    :fuuuu:

  6. I have one of the white and silver two tones. There is apparently another.

     

    One of my buddies saw it broken down on the way to honda, thought it was me. Stopped to help, then bailed when he realized it wasnt me. Im sure that person was confused.

     

    Thats the one I was referring too then

  7. Havent had an issue with Tula steel case stuff. Shot over 1000 rounds of it through my 1911 and it never gave me issues right up until the slid cycled so slow it wouldnt chamber a round ( I dont clean my stuff often other than some windex down the barrel).

     

     

    I will say that accuracy is not great with Tula steel case stuff but for plinking or running drills I never have had an issue with my pistols. Rifles I don't shoot my ARs often so I wouldn't know if they like steel cased stuff...... but my AKs do :masturboy:
