    Dry firing a CZ 452

    You should not dry-fire a rimfire. Most centerfires are OK (a very few have unsupported firing pins that will peen their stops). I don't recall ever seeing .22LR snap caps and a quick look at Brownells didn't turn them up, but if you don't have any empty cases, you can always just pull the...

    new GXV on Freightliner chassis

    So, You agree with me. The existing engine wasn't cutting it. A new engine did but would require more than it was worth to fit.

    new GXV on Freightliner chassis

    The Unimog is no longer being imported into the US because of EPA restrictions on the engine.....hence, they can chase an ever dwindling supply of previously owned mogs, or find something else... They chose 'else'.

    I can now carry a concealed weapon in Arizona... LEGALLY!!!

    It's a better idea to check with the state you're going to, to make certain they haven't changed their mind without your state of issue updating their website.

    Which is good - you can use it to carry in many (but not all) other states.

    Handheld Inspection Camera

    LOL, if I need one I guess I could borrow an endoscope from the proctologist :sombrero: If the offending item is in a duct, how about cutting a small access/inspection hole (with a rotozip or dremel or something) and then patching the hole? That might be easier than a full dismantling.

    Real opinions about the Liberty...

    I rented one for a week or so once....did a fair amount of freeway driving through the California desert with it but not much off-road (a little off paved road driving). It's rather small, somewhat underpowered (I was in a gasser, not sure what the engine was), and tended to get blown around...

    1awg connector

    You're welcome. The powerpoles are quite good connectors. Marine grade connectors are also good but you might have trouble finding them in the sizes you want. Here is a link to some data on how to calculate your wire size: http://www.marinco.com/page/three-percent-voltage

    My HAM Plan

    Submersible to some very shallow depth (like a half-meter or something). The various specs (JIA, ASTM, MIL) for waterproofness all have varying levels - and almost anything can pass some minimal level of water resistance, vibration or dust. However, it's better than nothing...

    My HAM Plan

    I've used all three major brands, plus Alinco. I have had exceptionally good results with Icom radios (I still have the second ham radio I ever bought, an IC-02AT, and it still works well - after being horribly abused like dropped off of a 3rd story roof onto the concrete sidewalk, getting...

    Rokon Two Wheel Drive

    A friend of mine had one since the late 1980's....he finally decided he's a bit too old for it so he sold it and got a 4-wheel ATV. But he had a GREAT time running around the desert on it

    Anyone with a roof NMO?

    I've installed NMO's without using hole saws (drilling out the hole with a series of very small holes), a unibit, and an actual NMO hole saw. Use the NMO hole saw! I use the one from Antenex, it's available on ebay...

    Generally HF is considered to be 3-30 MHz, which puts 6 meter (~50 Mhz) in the VHF range - generally called VHF-low. VHF is 30-300 MHz, or VHF-hi UHF is 300-3000MHz

    Question: Cooking with cast iron

    Cast iron is finicky in that you cant cook acidic foods (tomato sauces) in them, and require special cleaning techniques (no steel wools, little soaps)..
