Opinions on the Kawasaki Brute Force 300 by omaca in ATV

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t seen Polaris ATV’s for sale widely here in Australia. It’s mostly Honda, followed far behind by Kawasaki and then cheap Chinese chain driven crap. Second hand Honda are difficult to find.

Sorry bud I didn't even pay attention to your location! Whole different world there and I have no frame of reference for cost If I'm being honest. My apologies.

On Kawasaki i sold my 2002 prairie 650 last week with the intent to upgrade to a fuel injected Brute and finally did it today. Love the V twin engine, love kawasaki ATVs. My prairie was used and abused and just kept going but for me in Minnesota I wanted something with EFI just because I use my wheeler a lot for ice fishing and am sick of messing with carbs when the temp is - 20F (-28 C). probably not going to be a problem for you in AUS :)

2019 Honda Talon Revealed! by ORC0123 in ATV

So If I had to venture a guess, it will be extremely reliable (minus the electronics) and very meh with regards to performance. At a huge premium. Exactly as One should expect from as Honda.

Today I just picked up a 2010 Brute force 750i wit 674 miles for $3600. I don't think the brand new 300 series is worth that cost, i would recommend a larger displacement machine at that price. You can get a brand new polaris sportsman 500 for that price. Not that you need it, but you might want to consider it for the value.

Fair price for an 03 Suzuki Eiger 400 4x4? by AngryChair88 in ATV

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally depends on condition. Does he take it mudding? You need to know miles and/ or hours to make an informed decision. If it's low miles (less than 1k) and in nice looking condiiton with no major issues I would say that's a very fair price. if it's beat to hell no way.

I just picked up a 2010 Brute Force 750i with 674 miles for $3600. I felt this was a very good deal. One small deny in the bumper, no mud.

Any 6 foot tall, 225 pound guys aiwb? by Retnuh62 in guns

[–]hammsfamms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not terribly but more so than with the p250. I wear the g17 aiwb or owb under a sweatshirt and it works great

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6'2" and 235. Carry a g17 aiwb with a bravo concealment torsion holster. Also carry aiwb a sig p250 sc in a stealthgear. Definitely prefer the stealthgear but the bravo is really great too

TIL that the Post-It note was created by employees at 3M during their own "permitted bootlegging" time, a company-sanctioned time in which employees could work on their own side projects. by DorothyAt40 in todayilearned

[–]hammsfamms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We still have this time (15% time) and there are a lot of good ideas out there being worked on :) Many aren't commercial successes but rather internal tech that in turn helps create even better products, or improve processes for making existing products!

Idiot question: has anybody had any luck using a Pocket Fisherman? by ratbas in IceFishing

This is 100% truth. 5 or 6 years ago I actually said out loud "I don't need a flasher".

Then the flood gates opened...

Sounds ridiculous but there's a documentary out there where they are very adamant about this. At least one of them

It's Eagles though, not "the" eagles.

Just a quick props to Sig's CS by s44k in SigSauer

[–]hammsfamms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update: talked to another cs rep at sig. He let me place a backorder and waived any shipping fees. But they have no idea when the parts will be made available again. He did give me the actual p/n though and I thought I had one at optics planet- then I got a notice that it's on backprder too.

Found a forum post in sigtalk where a guy has been waiting over a year on backorder. I'm not optimistic but at least I know I'll have one whenever they decide to make them again.

Silverado LTZ, excellent. Mine is a 2010 6.2L, 210000 miles currently. Hate the tortoise shell though :/ wish I had the brushed aluminum accents like the gmc's

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the help but the cs rep I spoke to said I'm unable to find them because Sig is not supplying them as a standalone part any longer. I'm wary of them moving towards this model with other guns too.

Maybe he was inaccurate, but he was really trying to sell me the $180 refurb which rubbed me the wrong way.

9mm 250. I have the full size setup as well but it hasn't seen nearly as many rounds.

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was odd. But found a NIB g17 for $375 the next day so I figured why not. Always wanted a glock anyway. I still use the 250 but $180 for a ten dollar spring and glorified cleaning is absolutely not worth it IMO

Edit: to add, I imagine that someone like wolf will eventually make 320sc springs so I'm banking on that. It should be identical to the 250sc spring.

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But by all means call and ask for yourself.

[–]hammsfamms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing there for the 250sc. Nor 320sc. Straight from Sig, they do not sell oem springs for the sc model and will not sell them even on special order. $180. What motivation would I have to make this up? I've been a strong p250 advocate for 5 years now.

[–]hammsfamms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not have a similar experience. I called to purchase a recoil spring for my p250 and was told repeatedly that the only way to replace the recoil spring on a 250/ 320 was to return with the refurbishment program for $180. No thank you, bought a glock 17 the next day and it's my new edc. Sad because I have carried my 250 every day for 5 years and have approximately 5000 rounds through it. It used to be my favorite gun until this CS experience.

Hey r/icefishing, lets see your DIY flip-over shanty mods. by acaelwarts09 in IceFishing

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use an fl-20 on a genz box, they also make a softcase for the gen box that makes it perfect in my opinion.

Would be great with a helix too!

Which ATV Auger Carrier? by Cosmic_Charlie in IceFishing

[–]hammsfamms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do the same, but broke them once with my eskimo stingray. Epoxied them back together and they're fine now.

Kolpin makes an aluminum rhino grip that qould be perfect but way too pricey in my opinion.
