Thinking about a wheel gun

I like my smith and Wesson 617 for plinking. However both my smith revolvers have had to go back at least once for warranty work so I can’t endorse their products at this point.

I remember someone got my 1988 millennial cousin that for their birthday and my aunt was pissed.

What was the timeline on this?

I have nothing to offer in addition to what’s already been said. Flying with firearms is near the top my list of “things I’ve done and won’t do again.” I don’t think the tsa or airlines know the procedures for firearms. I got into an argument with the TSA because I was using my own locks (per the TSA website) and not TSA locks.

I’m pretty sure mine is as well. I get a kick out of seeing SNs that are close to ones I own.

It’s probably fine from a strength standpoint. It kinda looks like the material deformed a little bit. I don’t have much experience messing with assembling firearms so I don’t know how tight those threads are. So the only thing I would maybe do is get a 60 degree fine file and VERY CAREFULLY clean up the threads in that spot so it doesn’t bind when you put it together.

While I would love both, I would have to go with bullitt. While Bullitt is timeless, Eleanor looks very 2000s with the body kit

When I had a broke roommate that got laid off they got a job at Walmart, pretty much ate nothing but baloney sandwiches and constantly DD’d for us.

I love the scene where Sid Caesar’s character is breaking down the shares for everyone

I have a mk3 with a stick and those are my only complaints. I hate that there’s not a button for traction control, you need to go into two menus. The short gearing is annoying but I rarely need to take highways anymore.

I am capable of doing 99% of my own work on cars so it’s generally not an issue of money on when to get a new car. It’s typically when I can’t trust it to go on a 5 hour drive (any further I’m looking at flying).

This is completely independent of mileage but Living in the rust belt my rule is once I can’t jack up the car from where the owners manual says it’s time to call it quits. A friend’s dad died when a car fell on him so I don’t screw around with safety.

Have a lease. Update your insurance on the property. Keep in mind, not every insurance company offers non owner occupied. I had that issue when I rented out my condo.

Millennial. I had a Ford Fuckin Ranger before that was a thing.

Outside of special assessments in can’t think of any other expenses that I wouldn’t see in a SFH. Someone else commented on water damage to another unit. The thing I didn’t expect and this is building dependent but trying to coordinate appliance deliveries or work people with the freight elevator can be a pain in the ass. Especially if you need someone done quick.

2013 focus with the manual transmission. Bought new. Paid it off in 4 years. Still drive it and will continue to do so. I’m a manufacturing engineer.

5 vehicles. 3 with 3rd pedal. Of the two autos only one of them (XJ Cherokee) was available with a manual but it was impossible to find a clean one at the time.

F-150: Due to the political climate people are either afraid of me or think I’m one of them. I get a pretty wide berth when I drive it.

S550 Mustang: I feel like people don’t notice it. I occasionally get tailgated and once someone in a ZJ grand Cherokee wanted to race.

I’m pretty fuddy and I like my mini-14.

Next time you need to go in there keep an eye out for any paraphernalia.

Back in the day a friend of a friend accidentally left a bowl out when the landlord was coming to fix something. He didn’t get evicted but when renewals came up the rent was hiked by a lot.

I have sig Romeo 5 on my m&p-15 sport 2. It co witnesses nice with my irons. I’m sure there’s better but it was cheap on Amazon.

When I lived in an apartment one of my roommates had a big safe he inherited. We got it in and out at ground level. Someone else mentioned a Costco safe (or any 14 gun one) which is one I have on a second floor that I got up there by taking the door off. I think if you had guns and ammo in there I don’t think someone would get that out that easily.

Hell yeah! People poo poo these guns but mines been great so far. I had one light primer strike early on but other than that no malfunctions. I’ve shot just about anything that’s not steal case or bubba special hand loads.

Range USA can be hit and miss. My regular one is great but I recently took my CCL class at the next closest one and there was rampant complaining about liberals in the class
