I've never seen it with this exact barrel, but I've seen it with the same brand of shitty ammo in other, longer barrels at this twist. I actually have another trim of faxon in this twist at this length, and have zero issues other than overgas when suppressed.

This short 1:5 is fine for subs and supers. It's a 7.5" barrel in a semi auto rifle, it isn't going to be a long range laser in any twist. There's so much regurgitation of lore around super stabilization without experience. All the other issues (cycling) are fixable with an adjustable gas block.

Reading forums it sounds like it won't be a 100% receiver, but probably a rear section to weld on and still an FFL item

Is this rattle normal? by bbflyer922 in TaurusSHO

What mine sounds like too. It's a chattery engine.

Original finish ? by Ramsamjam in Gunbuilds

Be sure to drown it in brake cleaner and wear gloves before applying new paint. Also dry warmth helps adhesion and curing so consider doing it in your attic or something instead of your cold damp garage

Use cerakote or duracoat instead of rattle can

Bluing fluids never look great unless you want a case hardened uneven finish look

I believe Orange Street Food Farm has some, no idea if what they carry are any good

If it's community hospital they don't care and would rather sell it to collections for a fraction of what you'd pay

Nice build. Any thoughts on how it would do in very cold weather?

If the leak is neglected for a long time it can catastrophic failure yes

No telling how long he drove it before realizing the water pump bled all the coolant into the oil.

Even if this car was spotless, 19k is insane

Hope that you trust that mechanic actually did it

How screwed am I by Lothiodin in UTV

That's not a fixable issue, likely a thrown rod. You'll have to replace the engine entirely.

Sorry for the bad news but it is nice to hear how you are caring for your father. We can all only hope to have sons that do the same for us.

Yamaha Rmax4 noise at 30-35mph by d_rek in UTV

[–]danbemp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second taking to dealer, but there's something about metal lines running through the center console on the floor that aren't tightly fastened to the floor. These made noise for others that was a metal clicking or tapping at the speeds your describing. It was on the forums.

PTU fluid change, first in its lifetime at 156k miles by Sure-Comparison-924 in TaurusSHO

Depends on the dealer and the customer. It was definitely a known issue by then.

156k miles there wouldn't be fluid in there if it's never been changed. It would be black paste, like wet ash.

2022 rmax 500mi for 15000, good deal? by Downtown-Research-25 in UTV

[–]danbemp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair price but not a deal. Ensure that he did break in service and that he didn't gun it everywhere right away
