  1. 30-06 is 30 caliber, adapted by the US army in 1906, hence the 30-06 designation. started with the 1903 springfield rifle. If you played medal of honor, that's the sniper rifle. Same ammo used in the m1 garand, the 1917 springfield rifle, and the BAR - browning automatic rifle. When the round was developed, it was the era of trench warfare, so you had a bunch of guys shooting each other from 500-1000 yards away from holes in the ground. So now you know the expected range out of these rounds the mosin nagant shown above uses a similar round, which has about 600-800 yards effective range, and i believe they're sighted in for 300 yards from factory. The reason to keep a sidearm, such as a pistol, is so you have a backup incase of a malfunction, and a 250 lb pig is pissed off charging at you at 20 mph. For a sidearm (and you're right, you can't OWN a handgun, but you can shoot one), you want something with raw stopping power. a 9mm won't cut it, but a .45 caliber 1911 is something worth looking into as a backup for wild game. Personally, I don't hunt, but I believe in this case a revolver would be a better choice. Why a revolver? Because if you can't get a jam in a revolver, and if you have a misfire, just pull the trigger again to rotate the drum. A semi-auto pistol is nice, but there's just too much margin for error in that situation Scope is not overkill. Don't pay attention to people saying "oh, hunt it with a bow, at least give it a chance." Think of getting into a fight with someone that can beat the crap out of you in hand to hand combat. First thing I would do is kick the guy in the nuts, I don't care how low it is, I don't like getting hurt Big5 has remington scoped rifles for 300-400 bucks on sale all the time. http://preview.tinyurl.com/ywz7oa
  2. His windshield suffers from premature ejaculation?
  3. Well, wound up getting this last night for $170. It has 4 temp setting, and a speed dial. has gas conversion hooked up, got a bottle with it (no gas), bunch of spare parts and regulators, and a cart that the guy built (although, his welding leaves a LOT to be desired. so cart looks shitty but functional). tested the welder, works well, had to play around with temp/speed, but it welds, and with proper speed control, not too much splatter.
  4. you can't aim well with a shotgun, even if you use slugs. shotguns are used for hunter for 1 reason: small fast game like birds. Plus, if you're going to eat the boar, you're going to be picking out pellets for days. Not to mention that a shotgun will piss a boar off more than hurt it. 1.00 caliber is 1 inch. so .270 caliber is .27" or 6.8mm. If you're looking for a solid reliable hunting rifle, look into a Remington 700/710 models. They come with a cheap but decent scope, and are pretty accurate. edit: checked their site, they replaced 710 with 770: If you want cheap, effective, and scopeless, get a russian mosin nagant m38/44 or 91/30 rifles from big 5 for about 80-90 bucks. They are 7.62x54r caliber (.30 cal) and have a very good effective range: from top, #2 is 91/30, #4 is m44. Alternatively you can also use an SKS (#3, semiautomatic, accurate, 10 round capacity) that uses 7.62x39 round (AK47 ammo).
  5. so, any ideas where i can go for replacement clutches for the diff? I never heard back from the person that did the clutch run group buy
  6. 115 volt, 110 amp. there's one for sale on CL for 175 with cart and gas bottle, and i was doing a little research and getting mixed reviews on these. price is right for everything, just curious if anyone had any personal experience with these?

  8. wow, this is amazing. thanks fro doing this, guys, this is fantastic info and hybridz.org members never cease to amaze me
  9. pull everything good off of it and return a rolling shell with vin attached. either that, or have the old owner reimburse you for all labor and parts done since.
  10. well a guy on the 240z.org mailing list was building an electric 240z... so i think he wins
  11. that's a decent price. shipping is cheap too, 200 bucks to california
  12. na rotaries run 180k-200k miles without any issues
  13. do we see an ls1 or lt1 conversion in its future?
  14. you could make friends with the IT guy
  15. it means that teh sysadmin managing websense server is manually tagging hybridz.org to be blocked, perhaps from bandwidth monitoring. You can try going through a proxy such as http://www.hidemyipaddress.net or amegaproxy.com to see if it'll do traffic routing without triggerring websense filters. eracer: websense is a commercial tool to filter internet traffic for companies.
  16. today's average game install alone takes 3-5 gigs. i had to buy a new drive because I ran out of room (too much porn)

  18. good idea on locktite too although, no cosmoline here: i cleaned it quite well.
  19. needforz: great advice, I think I will do just that. the rail is a weaver type rail. i will try slotting the holes on the mount - it's aluminum, should be easy. not sure why i didn't think of it myself
  20. heh, all that work, and he couldn't fix the window lines to be correctly matched to a gto? reason i say this is that he claims he lengthened the frame to 'correct dimensions'
  21. ok, i sportsterized my 91/30 mosin nagant. cool. ati monte carlo stock sits and feels well. i got an ati scope mount, weaver rail, and a scope. the instructions called for drilling and tapping the barrell end (not the part affected by the firing process/chamber) I did. Except that I messed up a tad and the scope is askewed by about 1.5 degrees, so it sits cockeyed. How do I go about fixing this and redrilling? The barrell is just steel, can I have the holes filled in, ground flush, and redrill/tap? The issue is that new holes will partially overlay the old holes... would that be a problem with a filler from say, a tig? Thanks -alex
