Re: [MBZ] gun post (car only guys delete)

Agreed. I'm in the smaller, lighter, faster camp. Allows me to carry more ammunition, be more accurate, have less recoil, and shoot more often. The guy who just knocked the cow down was almost certainly using hollow point bullets. Cow's gotta thick skull, you hit it there with a hollow point an

Actually it reads more like small and slow vs. big and slow. I like shooting a .38, there are many well balanced comfortable .38s but they've got zip for stopping power even compared to the 9mm. -Curt Date: Sun, 28 Aug 2005 12:10:46 -0400 From: "RAH" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [MBZ] gun

I agree Dick. Let's throw the diesel stuff off and get back to talking about real Mercedes. One could think that the diesel folks could have their own oil discussion list and the rest of us could discuss "general" stuff. Ken YTTIC In a message dated 8/28/2005 11:01:01 AM Pacific Daylight Time

[MBZ] Finally fixed my sagging rear - on my car, that is

Shipmates, Yesterday I had a few spare hours, so I installed a new control valve (thanks Rusty - less than $200!!) for the self-leveling system on rear axle of my '85 300TD. Loaded down the back of the car with ~400lbs, bled it out, cycled it up and down a few times. Unloaded the car, and th

[MBZ] DEEP trouble changing my OM615 timing chain

Seemed like a good day to do it. So I pulled out the little orange box that I got from my sister the same time I bought the car from her. Just like the manual says, I pulled the new chain in as the old one came out. So far so good. But the new chain "ran out" before the old one!! By that I mean
