    "Combination" guns

    That Baikal is very similar to a series that Savage makes/used to make, the Model 24. I've had a 24C (Camper's special) for years and years, .22LR and 20 gauge, with a take-down barrel and case. Sights were rudimentary (as on the Baikal) but within it's limitations, a fun little gun to shoot...

    Diesel News: POST HERE

    GM and Chrysler are on the loosing side of that curve: They have older designs that have already been 'optimized'....Fords' new engine has nowhere to go but up. And I agree that the numbers are crazy, that enough is already enough, and decreasing reliability to get some sort of advantage at...

    Waterproof in ice cooler?

    Tossing a vac-bagged fish onto ice in a cooler won't freeze it....it has to go into a very cold (well below freezing) box.

    Waterproof in ice cooler?

    more like -109F. Still cold. The thing to be careful of is to keep the cooler outside of any occupied space, including a closed vehicle, tent or trailer. The CO2 can displace oxygen and result in asphyxiation. A kilo of dry ice will sublimate into around 1100 liters of gas, displacing that...

    New Georgia gun law...

    And in California, the state can screw with you if they want to. I received a firearms owner safety certificate in the 1990's (when they were first required), and then when I wanted to buy another handgun (in 2000) I had to pass yet another test, with another fee, and demonstrate my gun...

    And here is a link I just found, with more racist roots of gun control - but this time not the usual suspects: http://www.timeslive.co.za/local/article554333.ece/Black-gun-association-to-sue-government

    What is the death and injury rate for 'accidental' firearms injuries? Pretty darned low: The CDC reported 613 'unintentional' deaths from firearms in the US in 2007 (the last year figures are reported). http://webappa.cdc.gov/sasweb/ncipc/mortrate10_sy.html - plug in various causes, etc and...

    Hydraulic Jacks

    6 ton or so. It's more an issue of what jack will fit underneath the jack point easily and hopefully raise high enough. For that reason I often get a somewhat larger jack than just weight would indicate. BTW, your Jeep's tongue weight is part of what you'd have to lift: I broke a hydraulic...

    New Georgia gun law...

    OK, how about the only people who can project force beyond their own physical skills in Chicago are criminals (and the few law enforcement officers). The criminals already don't seem to mind the risk of getting caught. There are stringent penalties that are supposed to be imposed, state and...

    New Georgia gun law...

    I compare them like this: 1. Speech, religion, petitioning government 2. The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Speech doesn't have deadly consequences? Shout "Fire" in a crowded theater. Draw cartoons of Mohamed. Print a totally BS story about a Koran in a...

    New Georgia gun law...

    Yeah. Better mandate some training before you try and use your First amendment rights...can't have people picking a religion randomly, or using communications devices like the printing press, or internet, or a soap box on the corner without Government training. Same with court cases: The...

    New Georgia gun law...

    I agree. We don't strip everyone of their right to the religion of their choice because some religions have practices that the vast majority consider odd, dangerous or abhorrent. We don't strip everyone of their right to a jury trial because some people try and influence juries. We don't...

    Adjusting CB SWR

    Also, check the tuning around the middle of the band - not the ends, unless you transmit on a particular channel to the exclusion of others. Normally you tune the antenna for the middle of the band (~chan 20) and hope that the SWR is acceptable on the ends.

    Emergency Equipment, Water in freezing temperatures

    I keep store-bought water in 1 liter bottles in my vehicles, and while they may freeze, they've never split or leaked even in the winter.

    Radio clashing with GPS

    The rest of the world doesn't have your problem, either :) An 8mm conductor would be like spark plug cable in the US, or AWG 0....should be adequate. Try the ferrite beads...I tend to just put them on power leads when I install anything. They're cheap, don't hurt anything and seem to fix a...

    Radio clashing with GPS

    +1 on the ferrite beads - like these (or whatever size is appropriate): Amazon.com: Ferrite Core 1/4" Cord Noise Suppressor: Electronics And the fusebox is connected with 16mm cable? The wire is 16mm in diameter? Thats huge (like AWG 00000000). What is the diameter of the conductor...

    F350 or F450 for 5th wheel towing?

    A 2011 Ford F350 SRW will tow your trailer with load to spare, with the right axle gearing. You can also get it with factory provisioned 5th wheel ready for a 26K trailer.
