I'm really sad to hear this news. An American hero, multiple tours, and, in the end, I think it was chicken **** to call in a special prosecutor to avoid the heat. Unfortunately, our adversarial system of justice requires deep pockets. If he was in fact jumped from behind as the story...

This is a mystery. Although not up to previous standards, S&W considers .12" to be max acceptable though many revolvers work just fine that exceed that. You report using mid spec reloads with jackets bullets which work acceptably in other revolvers. I would suspect the ammunition and...

S&W contracted out many small parts. I don't think they ever made their own magazines. I rather think S&W would be all over an after market maker applying counterfeit logos on the magazine base without permission. Logos all my magazines that came with the pistols at the time came with those...

Now that this is all over with... my wife drives a tiny Hyundai Accent. (Not my car, she likes it.) She had 6 tires fail in the first two years. Bubbles, broken sidewalls, blowouts... she had them all. Most of these were warantee claims, tires replaced at the selling dealer. She asked them...

Frankly, that is the suggestion I'd have made, to match the best pair. I'd be very happy.

18" bronze swivel cannon 1.75" bore 800grains of Goex cannon in a foil cartridge.

I have a diesel, a 2001 with a Cummins 24 valve bought for towing heavy. As much as I love my truck, it was expensive and the mileage isn't that great. Frankly, if you really don't need a special purpose truck, you'd be better off with a heavy half ton or three quarter ton. They are ordinary...

I have one with a heavy antique brass door knob on the top.

Remove the wheels, bag the lug nuts. Take both with you. Might even put a wheel lock on the bare lug.

Mine is an ALW prefix I bought new in 1986.

This is hard not knowing your needs or uses outside of standby power. If I had propane or NG and didn't need portability, I's go that way like my buddy did. (Propane.) You may need a bigger tank. I live in the country. I bought my first generator, a Honda, in the aftermath of Hurricane...

At least one of my policies excludes riots and insurrections. An "all risks" policy is probably affordable or unobtainable to those who truly need them.

My reservation with off body carry... rather like my horseback forays in the past... is you can't step behind a bush or any of a 1000 things that make you step away from your ride for just a moment. IMHO, you need to be able to discreetly take it with you. It needs to be part of your plan...

I don't know about Ford based Marine engines specifically but at the time it was common to have combinations that were never used in on road vehicles. Ford blocks with Presolite ignition. Things like that. They were purpose built for a different purposes, different loads and to comply with...

I used to order lots from Amazon but I object to their attempts to control my ability to comparison shop via Prime. So Amazon is the last place I shop now. I was comparison shopping for a walker/wheelchair convertible devise. Besides new listings at unremarkable prices, Amazon listed a "used"...
