    Worked for Standard Stations Inc. (company owned/run) back in the day. IIRC, The Atlas Bucron tires (hadn't heard that name in YEARS):cool: had a wear Guarantee. If you wore them out, they would replace them for free. Made perfect street slicks. I think Chevron lost their butt on that deal...

    NASCAR moving left on gun rights

    What's the big deal? Wallyworld asks that you don't walk around in their stores with a gun on your hip where everybody can see it, looking like a cowboy. No problem. Concealed carry. IMHO, the only person that should have a gun on their hip (with a badge next to it) is a LEO. The LEO are the...

    We Haven't Had A Good Car Thread In A While...........My '67 Chevelle

Took close to a year to get parts together for the build. Only been 50+ years so memory isn't as good as it use to be. I do remember that it was a...

Busy raising two kids, paying for a house, etc. Didn't have ANY extra $$. Parts man knew I was a 348/409 freak. Says "factory GM...

    best way to shorten action screws?

    Don't own a lathe, milling machine OR any other high $$ piece of equipment. Figured I wouldn't use them that much so no use having them.;) Action screw, double nutted so it won't turn, chucked in vice, cut to length with hack saw then filed smooth after the nuts are removed. Done deal.

    How much tension when determining the "jam"

    "use a Stoney Point tool and caliper to measure the OAL" With the proper tools, no tension is needed to find the jam. And when you find it, write it down and refer back to those measurements cause it WILL CHANGE, sometimes sooner than you expect.

    Rimfire for 10 year old grandson

    "I second the 40x recommendation" Me too. Just about any single shot will work for getting the "feel" at the bench. The 10/22? Good for a "Mad Minute". After he finds out how to shoot with a single shot, THEN the 10/22 comes into play. I have two of them.:cool:
