    If you lock your keys in your car. What ever you do do not call a lock smith. Only do that if you cant wait for an hour.

    Get the VIN number off the dash, (you can see it from the outside) and call the nearest dealer of your car. give em the vin number and they can make you a Key, cost 7 bucks,,

    How do I know this.. It happened in SC while we was visiting Tools.

    Tell em tools, it works..

    Just got done cleaning my Garand, and got some bad news. My barrel's shot out. When I started on the barrel, I couldn't see any rifling in the last 2 inches of the barrel, I thought the grooves were just full of crud from the dirty ammo I shot last. Nope, it wasn't that, from the breech to the muzzle there is a gradual reduction in groove depth, barrel is shot. Not the big question is what to do. The receiver is a CAI so I don't know if it's worth it to get rebarreled. I could get a new one from CMP, but I have this one scoped and don't really want to do that to a CMP rifle. Fulton Armory does rebarreling but for $300. It looks like I'm in the market for a new rifle as this was my deer rifle. Or do I find a barreled receiver and put my parts on it? Everything but the reveiver are Springfield parts.

    just bought an sxp 20 ga from the gander mountain in Lubbock, which is going out of business. got back home 8 hours up the road and found there re no markings on the barrel or any where else as to gauge or chamber length. this is to be a graduation present and I would like the young man to know what he needs ammo for. the store is no returns right now so what would your avenue of recourse be?

    Went into a little pawnshop near the hospital I had to go to today.
    They had 3 Remington 1100 20 ga. barrels and an Ithaca 37 12 ga barrel (All plain and in great shape) They wanted 35.00 ea for them.
    140.00 out the door but they also had a nice Remington 870 Wingmaster with VR Mod I could get for 20.00 more. So barrels I will make money on or nice wingmaster? Guy doesn't do layaway Can't get them all because I have to get a new motor for my van. But which to choose.

    We arrive on time and wait 30 mins for them when they show up the men (23 & 25 year old men )have been drinking hard (place we are at cost $100.00 for two) they are loud and rude and embarassing everyone even my old harley riding seen lot's of things butt..Anyway getting real loud about things (calling our waiter faggot,getting KY jelly ,KOTEX ,STUPID THINGS LIKE THIS)and made a waiter that was not ours mad enough to stop and say something (it was out of line on his part some) Anyway after he told the waiter he would kick his butt I spoke up and told him to shut the hell up we are in a public place (I was sober by the way ) My lady and I ended up leaving what started out to be a good date for us.

    I refuse to apoligze and My lady agrees with me what do you guy's think...I believe when your old enough to know you going to eat at a place like this and you show up drunk your STUPID


    Thanks guy's I felt kinda bad for ruining it for me and mine but not anymore..

    Two auctions won by the same buyer. Both stated usps m.o. only for payment.
    The buyer sent a message asking if I take paypal. I told him I did not.
    Two weeks later he sends me a m.o. for $35, the ammount due is $54.
    I sent him a msg and he tried to act as if he sent full payment. He then tried to pay the remaining with paypal again.

    Should I take the p.p.
    Ask him to send another m.o.
    Or send him a refund for the $35 and relist it.
    Im worried about losing my pp account for selling gun parts.

    Got a GPS and a radar detector in my truck. Radar detector went off and looked at the GPS, it indicated I was doing 39 mph in a 35. OK, I was speeding. Immediately had the GPS take a snap shot of the screen. Local city officer pulled me and told me he had me on radar doing 49 in a 35 and wrote me a ticket for that. This officer and the city he works in are known to be a little on the eager side to write tickets to increase the city's revenue through traffic fines.
    I know I'm right and can probably prove I was not going 49 in a 35 by downloading the trip information from the GPS, printing it out and use it as my defense in court. Any thoughts/ideas to use this situation to get this local department to get a little more honest in their application of laws? Makes a man wonder just how many folks get caught in something like this.

    You are driving down the road in your car on a wild, stormy night then you pass a bus stop and you see three people waiting for the bus:

    1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

    2. An old friend who once saved your life.

    3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

    Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? Think, before you continue reading.

    This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

    You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first. Or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

    The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with this answer. She simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."

    Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations. Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

    However, the correct answer is to run the old lady over and put her out of her misery, have sex with the perfect partner against the bus stop sign, then drive off with the old friend for some beers !

    God, I just love happy endings.

    if all else fails
    buy a box or two of ammo take the young man shooting and explain to him its not marked ( normal factory ? standard which seems odd )
    and give him a nice card with all the info he needs to buy ammo for his new shotgun
    and a nice letter or call to Winchester ( higher up the ladder ) asking WTH a gun with out the proper info could be dangerous to the consumer even if you know firearms it should be marked with the basic ammo and chamber size


    unlike ruger who prints a book on there's [:D][:D]

    The owners manual will have the shell max size. I am reading it will take 3" in that 20 gauge. No use to mar up the barrel... 3" is the max in a 20. However a nice engraving to him would be nice.

    finally got a rep on the phone, he said this is a one in 5000 that slips out sometimes. the unmarked barrels are used as an inventory aid at the factory to note the end of a run in manufacturing. according to him this would be an instant collectors item and it is totally safe to fire

    Well I don't know about that, but if it is true, I would go back and buy all of them not marked. Maybe you can sell them all and make as much or more than the one that you give your son. Maybe even keep one for yourself for no out of pocket money.

    There is no way it's not a 3" gun. I shoot 2.75" 99.9% of the time anyway
    No reason to waste $ on a gunsmith to tell you that.
    Get a free replacement manual it will tell you if you don't believe it's the same as all the others
    Nice present!
