I always use ethanol free gasoline in my small engines. Learned the hard way with too many small engines ruined by spoiled ethanol gasoline. You may find this interesting. We have a small sport boat with a 30 Hp outboard motor. We have over 200 hours experience in running it in similar sea...

If you’re interested in steam locomotives, you might enjoy this video.

I use them quite a bit in a 4” barrel, J-frame model 63. Especially as a training vehicle for newbies who may be sound and recoil shy. Works quit well as a confidence builder. Very accurate at ranges you’d expect for a beginner.

This pretty much describes me! Kind of looks like me as well!

I’m so depressed! I know who Perry Como is and have actually listened to his records and TV performances.

I’d be curious as to why the modest increase in size was so problematic. Unless there were significant deviations from the usual S&W mechanism.

That’s a unique optical illusion!

I don’t know for certain. But, I’ve frequently seen discussions that suggest Titegroup is prone to very sudden pressure spikes. I have had good and consistent results with it. But, I’m pursuing mild target loads.

I’ve also maxed out. Actually coming to terms with the idea that it’s time to reverse the trend.

I have the Sparrow suppressor on mine. Makes a nice combination. I like how the Sparrow disassembles for cleaning.

“Running” I think is appropriate when discussing belt fed machine guns. “Yes, it’s running well to day with the new feed pawl.”

I have a similar problem. I have a fairly sizable collection and don’t want to leave it to uninterested relatives. My concern is not with listing but with shipping and potential legal restrictions to some destinations. I no longer have a “working relationship” with a local gun shop or FFL...

I’m glad that you had the experience. I was looking forward to my 50th reunion. Hadn’t attended some earlier milestone reunions. Unfortunately, our 50th occurred during the peak of the COVID fiasco and was cancelled.

Thanks for your article. Sad thing to me is that the people who opposed or criticized the use of the atomic weapons don’t seem to grasp the consequences of the alternative in terms of life lost (American, Allies & Japanese) and utter destruction of a country and its environment.

I use to be a car buff years ago. Foreign sports cars, American muscle cars, novelty vehicles. At one time, wife and I owned 14 of them and 4 motorcycles. Today nothing in the market interests me. In part, the excessive complexity. Such as this example and a recent thread on the stupid...

I guess EV’s aren’t as environmentally friendly as claimed!

Pet peeve of mine. Acronyms. Use to be considered standard writing practices to define an acronym at first use. No longer seems to be common practice in casual or professional writing. Annoys me more than misspelling or improper word use. I those cases, one at least usually knows what they...

In my opinion, there is no “one size fits all” answer. It’s a very personal choice based on many factors. For me, my lifestyle, manner of dress & risk exposure, I’m comfortable with my five shot model 38 in a pocket holster. If local circumstances changed dramatically, there’s no doubt I’d up...

Suppressors are not exactly “silent”. Depending on type, brand, caliber, they all have a distinctive sound signature to the shooter. I’ve not experienced a true squib load in mine. But, variations in cartridge loading is noticeable. I think you could tell if a squib occurred. Especially if...

I’ve posted on my experience with plated bullets and 231/38 powder. Just The highlights: Plated bullets need to be loaded to least midrange jacketed data to get lead bullet velocity. 231-38 gave wild variations in velocity across several different caliber tests. 200 fps wasn’t uncommon...
