    Smallest .875 gas block?

    Why not?

    Smallest .875 gas block?

    Might get more traction in the semi auto subforum.

    New Purchase?

    Getting a light rifle using that stock is cheating. It's the most horrid stock on the market, the only reason it continues to exist is so the weight watcher guys can take their rifle on scale pictures. I've seen guys swap on a MOE for shooting, then back to that stock for the insta pics.

    I was at a gas station the other day and heard something good coming from a mile away. High school kid pulls in with a ratty 67 Chevelle, SBC, 4spd, a hot cam and some cheap "turbo" mufflers. Damn that thing sounded great. I'd almost forgotten what a SBC sounded like. As ubiquitous as the LS is...

    They did the other 3 corners just fine, I'm not sure how you even goof up like that. And it made just as much noise as you'd expect so if they drove it at all afterwards they had to immediately know something was wrong.

    Hold onto it. Boyfriends come and go, she'll get back into it again.

    Htx barrels? Anyone shooting one

    That does look very cool, I'll give it that.

    I'll never claim to have seen it all, but I'm getting closer. I was just starting to make peace with all the rust I have to fight. Didn't know the previous owners were gonna leave landmines all over the car.

    The key is to not care. I steel wool all the rust off my carry gun maybe once a year. It mostly lives in my lunchbox next to the ice pack.. Which one of you degenerates screwed up my marketplace algorithm? It obviously wasn't me, I don't have a use for 4x100 wheels. Also, that Lincoln had a...

    Would you shoot this?

    No clue. You would think any moisture or acidic stuff in the barrel would be more widespread than one small spot.

    I like brakes more than the next guy and love playing with the latest and greatest ones, but I think we're so far into the realm of diminishing returns with high end brakes that any gains at this point will be in tiny nearly imperceptible increments.

    Would you shoot this?

    Would definitely shoot it. I've sent thousands of rounds through way uglier mil-surp barrels and you'd be surprised how well some of those sewer pipes shoot.

    Exactly. I would love to have cars of all makes, models and eras. I grew up in muscle car land. Got my license and went balls deep in the Japanese tuner world because I couldn't afford the 66 Chevelle I always dreamed of. Eventually stumbled into Euro sports cars, and I can appreciate all of...

    Fiberglass or steel body? Edit, I guess I could just ask what year it is. I've always loved the sound of the earlier carbureted cars with that little flat plane V8.

    Yeah 2 strokes were dying out locally when I started (2007?) and all the competition started moving to the Briggs spec series. But man were those 4 strokes uninspiring to listen to. Even the faster ones looked slow going around the track just because of the lack of auditory drama.
