I was looking into that as well, with a tank and such from Midway...What kind of burner do you need for the hot bluing tank? You're going to spend at least 400ish to get a hot blue setup. You'd be better off sending it to me. A lot less $$

Only way to blue them is "real" hot blue. Spray on finish would be the best.

VNP just tanked on me. Worked up till yesterday evening. Makes it impossible to keep up with new stuff on the forum.

The only key to loosing weight is to eat less energy than you use. If you ride, and then eat more because you're hungry it's not going to do anything.

I certainly wouldn't use a 10 round mag on my belt. But if it was kept in a pocket where you couldn't get to it for a stage I wouldn't see it as a problem. But it's only $20 for a new mag.

My 226 USPSA with the factory sights was 5" low at 20 yards.

I have a comp tac, great for the stiffness. Not the best looking belt however.

Ouch!!!

I normally use Nowlin, or the EGW. The SVI does seem to be quite long in relation to most other sear springs.

I'm going to play that argument this summer

Better to leave it in gear. When you're in neutral the engine is using gas to keep it spinning, when you're in drive the engine will be kept spinning due to the wheels helping to turn the engine. If you want the best mileage, get a manual car and alternate between clutch in and full throttle at a low RPM.

But ground temperature below a few feet is constant, so the air temp has nothing to do with the temp of the gasoline.

Not really legal to take material off the hammer to make it all work. That would be an external mod which isn't legal for production.

Emissions limits. The restrictions these days add thousands of dollars to the cost of a vehicle for aftertreatment devices to control particulate output. On heavy duty diesel trucks, we're only just getting back the the fuel economy we had in 1998 because of the emissions regs. But now the truck costs 20,000 more for just the engine and aftertreatment side. Thank the EPA.

Yes they do. Must be a STI frame.

Yea, going to shoot the SIG.

Just started working on the CCG Limited Prize gun. It's going to be a nice piece of hardware for one lucky limited shooter!!!

#1 - if you f*** up, you don't ruin a slide that's now worth some $500+ (after all the mill work, etc) #2 - you stand far less chance of introducing a stress riser into the slide that will eventually result in a crack (again, costing you $500+) #3 - Putting a screw into play gives you one more place for the thing to fail, potentially ending up with a situation where that screw backing out causes the gun not to run. This will inevitably (due to Murphy's Law) occur during the match that cost you the most money to be at for the year, and will possibly result in damage to the slide, frame, or other parts in the gun. If you're going to put it in the slide, you can eliminate #3 by drilling the hole blind, and staking the ball and spring in, just like you'd do in the racker. 1. The dovetail is the hard part of the whole thing. 2. The area you are cutting isn't in a high stress place, and you're putting a round hole in it. The dovetail is the sharp angle that would break. 3. Any of the screw based detents I've seen don't come close to the holding power of a normally install detent.

How do you run a mill when your eyes are on your computer screen? It's tricky, but you have to run over when the powered X axis is going.

I cut it with an endmill in the bridgeport.

Hi, my name is Matt and I am addicted to the internet. So I usually check my e-mail every 5 minutes.

I went with APW for my last chrome job. Turned out pretty good.

You can own mags that hold more than 10 rounds as long as they are blocked and require the use of a tool to remove the block. I know lots of Canadians that have mags to use in the US.

Lots of Canadians come to the US to shoot as well. Might as well be competitive everywhere.

I use a Nowlin or EGW sear spring. Use a punch and peen out the corners at the bottom of the spring to fit the grip better and not allow it to shift side to side.
