OK, guys, let me quote from the linked article: "Unlike the older bullet, the M855A1's penetrator is exposed, with a sharper tip, and it weighs 19 grains, nearly twice the weight of the M855's penetrator." The majority of the core of the M855 is lead, the penetrator is a segment in the tip of...

There's a lot of sea stories, war stories, myths & fairy tales about ammunition performance. No exception for the 5.56 x 45 mm round. If you read the Snopes decision it'll not only dismember a body, it'll shoot through buildings. I don't believe that, having burned a lot of it-mostly paid for by...

Gotta remember #12. Uh, on second thought, gonna take a screen shot & download it.

BB57: "In that regard, any flaws in the Sig P320 pose no risk with an empty chamber. If any incidents do happen the military can usually blame that on the person with the pistol. That's far better for avoiding accountability and managing careers than admitting the procurement process, the...

MRBS????? Mean Rounds Between Failures I can understand.

Unless they were issued to a tactical unit with a heavy training schedule, there's likely not to be all that much wear. I was issued an M&P40 2006-2015 (serial # started MPB) and wasn't thrilled with it. Shot the 1006 better, but the M&P had the same trigger stroke all the time. OTOH, you could...

OK, the pin for the DA sear appears to be too small diameter, jackleg replacement for the lost original? This will change how the hammer & sear meet and work. There's no fitting, the pin is the pin-just make sure it doesn't stick out on the sides. The wear on the side of the hammer is weird...

I had 10, Microsoft did one of those upgrades and I likely have 11. Things are a bit different. Maybe 10.5? Question: What's a "hot swap"? I've been using an 8T backup that continually updates and don't want to lose the stuff that's on there.

If it's a knock and they announce/you see they're LEOs, you might consider calling dispatch to confirm. DO tell them to hang on a minute while you call to confirm. ETA: might be a valid warrant, they might be at the wrong address. While 911 is supposed to give the address, the second question...

Edge to #9, but #6 also. Especially the apple sauce filled cinnamon big Cheerios.

Exchipy provide a good summary. When you go to pull the trigger, it may not move. There are a slew of reasons this will happen: the trigger didn't fully return for some reason (part of your glove is caught between frame & trigger/internal problem), a cratered primer has extruded into the firing...

OK, I think what you're describing is commonly known as a bed cap. What's a "lumper" rack? Roof top rack?

OK, given the apparent size of the can compared to the scale pan, it might be a cannister powder. Somewhere I've still got a couple of the empty 1 lb Hercules cans. Given age and unknown type, it's best use is fertilizer. The late great Charlie Petty did at least one article on...

I've got 2 bobbed J frames. I keep meaning to replace the hammers. I realize this goes against the grain, but the IAD for many revolver malfunctions (yes, they do happen) is to give the hammer spur a hardy yank. No spur, no IAD-except dropping it and going for the backup. The one mod I do like...

It's hard work, and not everyone can do it, but a good farrier makes out financially. Unfortunately, the bad ones seem to hang in there-like a hair in a biscuit, as a co-worker used to say.

#12. #20 reminds me of a quip about how a man who can smile in the face of disaster has already thought of someone to blame it on. There's also the 5 phases of a project. (Short form: enthusiasm, despair, search for the guilty, punishment of the innocent, rewards for the uninvolved [or those...

Bear Island Timber has the same issue. I think they use cans of regular paint and 4-6 inch brushes. Something for the kids, grandkids, any help and/or those with permission to hunt/fish to do. Swipe, 30 steps, swipe & repeat as necessary.

I broke down and sent 2 1911 slides to Novak for white dot dovetailed fronts. Fedex shipped Monday, arrived Wednesday, finished Friday. Much better, might have to shave a couple of thousandths off the top of the rear on one. Did the Testors metallic gold on my BHP. Dunno when I bought it, but...

#s 3, 6 and the one about carrots. Pittsburgh street maps can surprise you. You can be following a street and run right into #3, the actual street resumes at the top. Then there's the inclines. Cable cars that go up n down ramps on the sides of Mt Washington.

I posted a correction to my post above that apparently didn't stick. So, from the Code of Virginia: 18.2-119 covers trespassing in general. If you warn people (cell phone video makes great documentation, the few times necessary, I handed out written trespass notices-with their names & drivers...
