    MacArthur Comp/Muzzle brake

    Thank you, I have one of these comps that I purchased at second chance years ago and could not remember who made it.

    It works very well but its large and heavy.

    I have this comp, a JP and a Rolling Thunder, for my money I'd go with the Rolling Thunder.

    Nonpartisan Joke

    in Humor

    Posted

    THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE

    ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES!

    NOT ONLY THAT, IT'S POLITICALLY CORRECT!!

    While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by

    truck and dies.

    His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance. "Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts,you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

    "No problem, just let me in," says the man."Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity "

    "Really, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the

    senator.

    "I'm sorry, but we have our rules."And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.

    Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people.

    They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and champagne.

    Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a good time that before he realizes it, it is time to go.

    Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...

    The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St Peter is waiting for him.

    "Now it's time to visit heaven."

    So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls moving

    from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good

    time and,before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter

    returns. "Well,then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your

    eternity."

    The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would

    never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."

    So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,down to hell.

    Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage.

    He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

    The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder

    "I don't understand," stammers the senator. "Yesterday I was here

    and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster andcaviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.

    What happened?"

    The devil looks at him, smiles and says, "Yesterday we were

    campaigning.....

    Today you voted." :surprise:

    Para Tuned mags?

    in 1911-style Pistols

    Posted

    I was wondering if any one knew were (or if) :unsure: Para "tuned mags can be found?

    Thanks all

    T

    Edited to add: I have searched hi and low (or so I think) and have had no luck....

    I know Benny Hill at Triangle Shooting Sports can tune them.

    +1 for Benny! He made all my para mags run reliably.

    Starting over left handed

    in Handgun Techniques

    Posted

    My Dad is left handed and I am right handed, we have identical shooting gear just in mirror images of each other.For fun I would dryfire with his rig.Eventually I felt good enough to try his rig at a match and did pretty good.The two hardest things for me were not putting my right hand to the gun properly and indexing my left eye to the sights.Everything I had learned transferred over pretty smoothly right to left.

    Good luck, Rennie.

    New Chevy Pickumup Trucks

    As a former GM dealer tech the engine has been very durable, regular oil changes cannot be overstressed with any vehicle.

    The perameters for the cylinder s to drop are fairly narrow,in town and towing a load will pretty much keep it from coming into play for what its worth.Gear ratios and optional equipment (like GIANT grill guards and bumpers) effect fuel mileage.I think its a good choice.

    Remember.... your mileage may vary.........................

    I do not recomend pulling off battery cables to check charging systems. Most late models will die when you do so anyway and you run the risk of damaging electrical components. Remember these cars/trucks have several computers that are very sensitive to electrical changes. Most automotive shops will check for a minimal fee with the right equipment.

    Most vehicles will give you signs of battery/alternator problems, ie: Slower to start, weak dash lights, etc. That's when it needs to be checked, not when it's dead.

    Battery quality from some of the big chains may leave something to be desired. I worked for one at one point and the number of battery comebacks was amazing. Remember, they beat the manufacturers down in price to enhance the bottom line, guess what follows....

    I work in the automotive industry and we always provide customers with electrical problems written printouts to justify the replacement of batteries or charging system componenets. Merlin, I would look for that from your dealer, and remeber batteries kill alternators and alternators kill batteries.....refer back to 2nd paragraph.

    Very good advice.

    You don't need no stinking machine. Pull the neg term at the battery when the car/truck is running. If it keep running then the alt is prob okay. If it dies then it's bad. There is some margin for error where the alt is working enough to keep the car running, but not enough to charge the bat and run the vehicle. I've never had that happen to me though and have tested many this way.

    If you do that on most modern computerized cars you stand a good chance of ruining a lot of control modules.

    +1000! But it is without a doubt something you have to see on the big screen, no way to get the same effect at home. Does anybody know if it will ever come out on IMAX?

    Exactly. Saw it last night, it was one of the times I really felt like I got my money's worth seeing something in the theater. Don't wait for DVD.

    Great movie, Merlin it was worth the wait.
