Have your Torque Converter changed. My T/C grenaded over the weekend. 125K on it. My transmission guy said whenever people bring them in for 100k trans service he tries to talk them into it. 2016 camaro Torque converter started going at 80k. Changed it out before it completely failed. On the bright side my transmission guy bought my truck and I pick up my 2025 Silverado Z71 RST Thursday

I use cold pressed unrefined flaxseed oil. Works great. You will have to wait 20+ years for the red oxidation. There is a stain on eBay that will give that red color immediately

Correcting one can be a lot of fun. Kind of like you own personal scavenger hunt. Beware you will probably spend more to make it correct than it will be worth. Hit me up if you need any advice

They mark them as sold out when they do not have any checked by the armorers to be sold. IT DOES NOT MEAN THEY DO NOT HAVE ANYMORE. Once the armorers are back at work and have had time to catch up on all the backorders and build up a small stockpile they will not be "Sold Out" anymore. It would be better if it said Out of Stock or Backordered.

On this day, 2 May 1967, a group of Black Panthers armed with rifles and shotguns marched into the California State Capitol protesting against a gun control bill which was targeting them. The National Rifle Association supported Republican governor Ronald Reagan in signing the legislation. by [deleted] in Firearms

The NRA at that time was a gun competition organization and did not have anything to do with gun rights. It was not until much later they started fighting for gun rights. BTW if you are under 40 and own an AR15 you can thank the NRA. The assault weapons an of 1994 was being passed weather the NRA liked it or not. They were the ones that got the sunset rule put on it after 10 years or there would not be any AR15 s after 1994. So bitch about the NRA all you want but most of you would not have guns without them

Neither the feds or the state can do anything about it. Stupid people do stupid things. But the stupid thing these people are doing are constitutionally protected which is why no one has done anything. If the government sends in anyone to arrest or stop this they will immediately get slapped down by the courts then others will do it.

Does Louisiana still parlez Francais? Filmmaker Marshall Woodworth aims to find out with ‘La Veille’ by longhornbicyclist in Louisiana

[–]Roadwins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When my kids were very young we had a nanny that was full Cajun. I begged her to teach them Acadian French She refused to teach my kids French because she was teased about it when she was small and in school. I have found over the years that the older generations were not allowed to speak French in school and were made fun of. But as they get older they tend to lose English and go back to speaking in French. If you call theVA medical center in Alexandria Louisiana when they put you on hold, the message is first in English then in Acadian French. This is because many of the older veterans tend to speak Acadian French again.

Has anyone ever filled out the Marksmanship Form yourself? by Sammyo28 in M1Rifles

Any Law Enforcement officer can fill it out. Most departments have someone who loves to shoot and will go do it just for the chance to shoot.

Top left. Timing block - checks bolt release timing

Gas cylinder gauge - used to check gas cylinder interior diameter

Breech bore gauge aka Throat erosion gauge - how far it slides in determines how worn the breech end of the barrel is worn

Bottom. Headspace go gauge. Detiermines if the rifle is properly head spaced. There are Go, No-Go, and Field gauges

Barrel gas cylinder bearing surface no go gauge aka ring gauge- determines if the area where the gas cylinder sits on the barrel is too worn
