  1. You could make one out of whatever you wanted, but you are probably going to need to keep the weight and dimensions of the puck very close to the weight of the original piece. I would make it the same weight and diameter as your friends gas puck.

    You would think over time, if the gas puck diameter was the issue, that when the gas block got really dirty, that your S12 would begin to cycle better as the carbon build up filled in the gaps. 

    Have you checked your gas ports? 

    Have you checked to see if your gas ports are obstructed?

    Well, I suppose that eliminates the possibility of drop it off, go have some lunch, and come back to pick it up.

    Are they unable to get the pin out? Is there any evidence of them even trying to get the pin out? I don't understand what else about it could be even remotely difficult.

    Right, it's a relatively mundane task.

  3. (FAIRFAX, VA) - The National Rifle Association today issued the following statement: 

    "In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented.  Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians has been to call for more gun control.  Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks.  This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world. In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law.  The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations.  In an increasingly dangerous world, the NRA remains focused on our mission: strengthening Americans' Second Amendment freedom to defend themselves, their families and their communities.  To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence."

    Not sure when that was released, it's not dated. 

     

    Threw the GOA another $50, as an anonymous lifetime member is matching all donations, dollar for dollar, until the end of the year.

    It’s the factory 10 round one. I took it to the range today.  I just put 5 slugs in it and it fired them all no problem. 

    Cool. They look good. Do they have any metal reinforcements? Is there any info where they are made, or by whom? Is the floor plate steel? 

  5. My beautiful daughter is now 5 and we had a baby boy (Raymond James) two days ago. Healthy as can be. 8lbs-6oz ginger headed badass. I delivered him, in our dining room, in a birthing pool. We had two midwives present, but everything went so smooth, they were pretty much just the support team behind us. It was awesome and  complete surprise when i saw he was a boy. We were both anticipating a girl the whole time and bam....little boy it is.

    Momma and baby are healthy and doing great.

  6. Someone removed a mid barrel comp, maybe. 

    Or maybe it was a 22-24" barrel and they cut it down and moved the gas block back. Got scared about messing up the hard chrome lining by welding.  

  7. Gunfun, you must be the greatest driver in the world. 65mpg out of a TDI VW, and 55mpg out of a Festy. I owned an '89 Festy 4spd manual, that i swapped a 5spd into. It was the carb 4cyl, pre stupid door attached sliding seatbelts. The best i ever mustered out of that Festy was literally tailgating a semi for 110 miles, of a 170 mile trip. I used up 3.5 gallons. When i say tailgate, i mean i was literally 8-10ft off the trailer of that semi, doing 55mph on Interstate 39. Fun car tho, i only paid $550 for it and it came with the 5spd i swapped into it. It's been 10yrs since i had that Festy, and if memory serves me right, i averaged ~42mpg. I actually shopped those again, before i picked up this TDI. 

     

    I agree. The econo box has an aire of freedom about it. In more ways than just being able to travel farther, for less. It's about not being 'AS' enslaved to the oil industry to. It's a double "FUCK YOU". so to speak. 

  8. First tank went 717 miles. When i filled up, it took 15.6x gallons. Averaged out to 45.1mpg, thats triple what i was getting before. I didn't change my driving habits at all, still drive 78-80mph for 85-90% of my commute. Plus my rear brakes were garbage metal on metal and dragging, and all 4 tires had excessively different pressures, for about half of that tank. When the fun of driving it slows down some, i will try harder to get a better average by driving slower, coasting more, shifting at a lower rpm etc. etc. 

     

    Cant complain about that

    Thanks for the "Dirty Money" Nexflix reference. I watched the VW segment and the two following it. It's a very well thought out and educational show...made me want to punch a few people through the TV on the Payday loan episode. Not a bunch of VW's in the fleet, but my German buddy in the bay on the other side owned a Jetta TDI wagon when all the diesel gate stuff hit. I never knew the half of it. Man, he took me on some rides in that thing like we were on the Autobahn. Being originally East German he now owns a Mercedes C300 that VW helped fund. He loves to beat on U.S. cars so I love to push his buttons that my big ass Taurus SHO has more options and he won't run me. If he ever moves up to a AMG I'm going to up my game with a methanol tune. Then again, my GTDI engine only averages 22mpg.  Enjoy the new ride, if you put a tune on it, that thing should fly.

    I hope they continue to make new episodes.

    That Payday loan episode was infuriating, to say the least.
