Reading through some of the builds online people have been shooting them. One guy in England had his gun proofed at the royal proof house. They tested it way over normal shooting load.I intend to load way under the normal 120gr load, more like 70gr. I'm interested in seeing if I could get the b

Indeed it would, and it would be even more fun to fly! A neighbor is selling his current plane so he can build one of those. This will be my next build after the Tailwind is flying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosport_Woody_Pusher I'll incorporate a few changes - 125HP and slatted wings per t

The M1 is a superb rifle, looks good, shoots decent. Sadly the M16 is a more accurate rifle but from a "reliability in the field when serviced by hamfisted grunts" standpoint the M1 is a much better device. -Curt On Sunday, December 17, 2017, 5:28:19 PM EST, OK Don wrote: That does

That’s pretty cool. So the metal is solid enough that it’s still functional? Like no pitting or anything? I took my oldest son (“dead eye”) out to the range today. His third time out and he was making 4” groupings on a target 20 yards out with my 1911. Amazing. Even the RSO, a retired Spe

I'm thinking my birthday present to myself is going to be a Brown Bess musket kit. You get an original 200+ year old barrel and lock with new partially inletted wood. You have to clean up and derust the metal, then finish the wood. About half the price of one already done, $650 vs $1250... Curt

Agreed. However, I’m the sort of person who “needs something to do” all of the time. I’m starting in on cleaning up the garage and then moving to closets. That will be scary. I would love to get my hands on that finny diesel over in Pinellas County but I can’t justify the $$. -D > On Dec 1

Since you are bored, buy that clapped out ML and refurb it back to Martha standards! That will keep you scrounging for interior parts for a while!!! Or better yet, buy that 110.110 and bring it back to glory! It appears to be a very good basis to start with. Dan Penoff via Mercedes

[MBZ] scraping noise turning right

Driving my 300D today for the first time since I overhauled the vacuum pump, there is a new noise coming from the general area of the left (driver's side) front wheel when I make a right hand turn. It is a regular scraping sound, not really alarming but definitely audible. It varies with speed.
