Dave, Good to hear you are still involved. Are you driving again? Good Luck. Mort

You had stats 101 and maybe more. P.S The Bruce and Jenny joke was really good. Mort

Art, Is it available and what is the unit cost? They (LOVEX) publish a loading manual with recommendations for various calibers here and overseas. If you don't hear back from anyone try some and get back to us. Mort

That doesn't strike me as being funny. Mort

Thanks Hunter. The wife and I put over 50K on the car attending runs and car shows. We had a great time....lots of memories. Mort

Bob, These are some of the cars I have owned over the years. We both share an appreciation for mid-year Corvettes. The '66 is still in the family. Mort

Car Guys Nice sleeper Al, and I bet it sounds good too. I'm sure you NEED to step down on it now and then. Go for it! Mort

This guy was the driver of our prime mover for the 105 Howitzer. He was a fun and laidback guy who could less about conforming. He never went to the brig but made Pvt 3 times. On a four-year enlistment you might have enough time to accomplish that. I took this picture in 1960 but can't say...

Guys used to steal Tabasco from the mess hall to use on the " C Rations ". Nothing in there to cover the taste but you got a little pack of cigarettes which was a good trade item. Mort

I know you also had to do your part but that is a great group....fair piece of lumber too. Mort

Jackie, as always I really enjoy your info and photos that show what machinist work entails when working in a shipyard. I did some work on ship shafting and rudders in the shop but never touched a prop. We had a submarine in dry dock where the prop or screw had already been fitted and I was...

Al, I appreciate a thread I can participate in. It's all good. Mort

Accurate 30-06 This is a FN 30-06 that belonged to my father. It's a Mauser action with a High Standard chrome lined barrel. These were sold by Sears' which is where he purchased it sometime during the Korean War. That's not after-market lumber. It had a couple small dings where...

i Know Jackie used calipers enough to be comfortable with them on close measurements. I never was unless there was plenty of material to remove and I would check against a ruler. On a bore a 1 to 12 inch inside mic would be used. That measurement would be checked against an outside mic GENTLY...

Al, I made this for the chuck key. It's right at eye level and I don't have to look for it. Mort

My most accurate factory rifle is a Remington 722 .222. I glassed the action with a kit from Herter's and adjusted the trigger. That's all it took to shoot a .560 5 shot group from a bench. Mort

The important thing is you enjoyed your project and how it turned out. Nothing else really matters. Opinions are like a..holes.....everybody has one. Mort

I'm sure your wife wouldn't mind one in your front yard,or maybe out back somewhere. Some of these engines were mounted on narrow gage flatcars for logging. Not sure how that assembly would pass muster. On the serious side I don't know how many of these engines you would find in your area.They...
