NWI INGO General Post - Part 6

[jedi]

Perhaps he realized the same thing the military figured out a couple generations ago. The gun is handy but the cartridge is inadequate and antiquated. A modern pistol caliber carbine is just as handy, cheaper to shoot, and as effective.

Sort of but again the .30 carbine was always just a stepping stone for me before I got a .308. It's that time for it to go now. I love the gun, it's fun to shoot but it's time for the .308

Picked up a new hedge trimmer today from the local Stihl dealership.

They took it right off the display, filled it with gas/oil, test started it for me, showed me how to use it, etc then offered to double the warranty if I bought their Stihl oil mixture. So we go back inside and the guy rings up the oil, 6 pack for $16.04.

Reach in my pocket because I know I have some loose change, but its in the same pocket as my Ruger LCP. Pull the gun, set it on the counter, with keys, etc. I have 2 dimes. Guy looks over, doesn't even bat and eye, says not to worry about the 4 cents, keeps talking like its no big deal. Because it is no big deal.

Wonder what would have happened if I had done that at the Big Box stores up in Schererville

New Stihl HL 90 extended reach trimmer:

Had one of the Stihl hedge trimmers when I worked for the city, had the one with a swivel head that worked great, before and after using it, sprayed it with WD-40 and didn't have any problems.

New parts to make the Benelli a Super Benelli. Listened to the internet instead of common sense and bought a tube that is a bit long, but it is pretty much only used in competition. 28" barrel alone is a bit much for HD, now with the extension I dont think it will be doing much for HD at all. Tube does hold 12 though, and thats nice. Big jump over the 4 that it previously held.

in the safe...

How wet is the dirt?

Not terribly wet, but definitely not dry. Excavator father in law guessed about 2500. The smell coming from my lil v6 Dakota's brakes would agree with that estimate...

Still not the most I've had in the bed. I loaded up 40 80lb bags of quickrete when I was pouring the footings for my deck.

And then another time I towed a 3200lb car on my 2400lb trailer from Chicago to Grand Rapids.

One of these days she'll throw in the towel, but so far so good. 240,000 on the original engine trans and clutch. Redid rear brakes and suspension last year, rebuilt the entire front end this year. I'm in dire need of some new tires though.

Sold one of my AR's today, but all is not lost, this one followed me home.

 

[jedi]

But but but its not "mil spec" so it must suck

 

[chef larry]

Sadclownwp, have you heard of any problems with Froglube and have you tried Weapon Shield?

 

[baddyna96]

Not to mention, one of the "coolest". Nice gun!

 

[melensdad]

I've used Weapons Shield for years. It works great.

That said, I also have Hoppes 9, RemOil, etc

Some require more scrubbing than others but I do really like Weapons Shield.

Where did you get the Weapons Shield from?

 

[sadclownwp]

I have had no problems with Frog Lube ever, it is what we have converted over to using at the shop.

What is the difference between Frog Lube and Frog Lube Premium?

What is the difference between Frog Lube and Frog Lube Premium?

Froglube website says the premium is a kit with 4 oz liquid and paste, microfiber cloth, and instructions.

I picked up this tube extension from Fugly-tac, it holds 40 rounds. Reloading is for suckers.
