No clutch; it's a TH350, but hopefully it will still bring the frontend off at launch with a car under 2300 lbs. if I can get traction! Hey Chad! No bullet holes, and no room for shine. The trunk is full of Harwdood fuel cell and battery box, so no room for much more than a picnic basket! ;) Yep, th...

Been away from the forum for the last 5-6 months, as I have been starting a new project. I am scheduled to retire at Thanksgiving, and with the blessing of my lovely wife I purchased another hotrod project in June. This was supposed to be a "retirement gift/project, but like always I'm too impa...

Pulling the battery cable with a bad alternator will cause the car to die, and wont hurt an alternator that's already bad. But if the alternator is good, it can not only fry it if you're too slow or draw an arc reattaching the cable. It can also cause the regulator to go bananas and the voltage to g...

I've got the twin to your new drill press on my work bench in the garage. Mine IS a Craftsman, so I guess whoever built them also marked them for Craftsman.

The 1893's and 93's were probably a little smoother when new, and with 100 yrs. of use they are usually glassy smooth if they're in good working order. The 336 can be helped emensely with just proper oiling with the right lube. The top of the hammer where the bolt rides over to cock the 336 is an ar...

This is the background on my computer. My 1937 Austin sedan:

Looks a little different today:

marlinman93

Haven't dealt with Midway since they started charging me s&h on orders. Used to be free for orders over $25, and I bought a lot there, but now they rip you off on the s&h just like many others have done.

Well I can't diagnose the problem for sure, but it's definitely not normal! Cycling way too much, and the compressor is too noisy from either bad valves, or low freon charge. Afraid it doesn't sound cheap either way.

Nice to hear some brothers still do nice things for each other!

The Burgess was designed by Andrew Burgess, and built by Colt. It didn't last long as Winchester didn't like Colt going into the lever action business, and threatened to start building pistols, so Colt dropped it in short time.

marlinman93

The Colt Burgess is almost identical in it's workings to the 1881 Marlin, which also incorporated many of Andrew Burgess' patents. The sliding loading gate is typical Burgess, as is the tube feed design with it's scalloped edge where it meets the receiver. Of course the Colt Burgess is a later versi...

marlinman93

This info just endorses what I said. These are all high end condition guns, and have been there for awhile without being sold.

marlinman93

I'm ready to sell every 1881 in my collection if the prices you guys are quoting are true! I sure don't see prices anywhere near that, except for original 1881's in very minty condition. 1881's have traditionally gotten less than the 1895 Marlins, and rare ones will get slight premiums, but only in ...

Have to give my oldest son a call. He's down there at the SHOT show now. See what went down when the FBI staged this whole "arrest" at the show. They could easily have done the arrest at S&W headquarters, but that wouldn't have gotten them near the press coverage that the show got them...

Not sure about Walmart. We're talking Bi Mart.

The gun shows have plenty now. Went to Albany a week ago, and all the primers were in stock at around $35 per thousand.

marlinman93

Perry, there were less than 2800 Model 1881's made with 24" barrels, so be very careful buying one that is offered as "factory option". Also, be aware that none of the 1881 Marlins with serial numbers below 4000 will letter! If the gun has a serial number below this, there's no way to...

No they didn't, but he did say it wasn't spelled "coffee". "Like coffee, but spelled different".

Many of the new computer room generators are equipped with massive flywheels to ride through small outtages. These do work well for compensating for high current draws at start up, but the size of the flywheel needed may be more than your little generator can even turn. Flywheels immediately begin t...

Hey you guys didn't pay attention to the movie! Remember he said his name was John Coffey, "like the drink only spelled different!"

marlinman93

There is no magic cure all that will accomplish what you're looking to do. Soft starts do ramp up slowly by either varying frequency, or voltage, but the result is they draw a little less current, but for a much longer period. We've tried to install soft starts on heavy generator loads, and the end ...

Awesome car..... one the guys in our neighborhood is restoring one.... You need to come down the turkey rod run in Daytona on thanksgiving.....you will have a blast... You aint lived till you see 5000 muscle cars in one spot! Thanks! Guess I've lived then! Ever been to Hot August Nights in Reno, Nv...

I usually fit the handle to the opening by using my belt sander to shape it. Just trial and fit. Then once it's close fit I cut a slot lengthwise in the end of the handle and shove it into the hammer head. This lets the handle go in easier, plus it provides a place to drive a wedge in that wont spli...

Well I got my old 1976 Goldwing running and back on the road. Then I wrecked my old 1971 Camaro, so I began a 6 month restoration (so far) that's not quite done. Sold a few guns from my collection to do the Camaro resto, then sold a few more to continue it. Busted up my right knee again for the thir...

I bought my son in law a Savage 110 in .243 as his first hunting rifle. The second year out he took a nice mulie with it at a measured 325 yds. It dropped him like a ton of bricks. I wish I'd kept it and given him my old .30-06!

marlinman93

Same old thing. Still working on the '71 Camaro project, and of course there's work that gets in the way there too!

marlinman93

Sounds like winter has hit in the Badlands, and ranchers have too much time on their hands!

marlinman93

Was that lever froze open, or just open for safety?

Looks way too cold for shooting, even with the clear blue Central Wa. skies! Get poor Cleat back home by the fire soon!

Happy belated Thanksgiving! We had two of our daughters home for T day, along with our son in law home from his latest tour of Iraq, and a couple of our grandkids! What a great day, we are truly thankful, and truly blessed!

Am I really surprised that someone would prepetrate such a huge hoax on the internet? NO! The internet is full of similar situations at various sites. People who sit in their room and dream of being somebody and the only way they can do it is to post these tall tales. This guy took it a step farther...

My short list for Christmas is that all my kids could be here. Wont happen, but it's still tops over any material things.

Ditto the jeremy in a Ghillie suit.

Saw that back when it was at the theater. My son in law invited me, or I'd never have gone to a Tom Cruise movie. Found it lackluster, and regardless of accuracy I couldn't buy Cruise as a German officer. He could even work up a German accent.

marlinman93

Well I like smokeless powders, and they surely make life easier, but the real stuff is still fun to shoot, and still puts a smile on my face every time I shoot it! Shooting shouldn't be so serious that we can't enjoy a little blackpowder! Don't get your undies in a wad over a simple fun post.

Sometimes I think the gorillas at UPS and Fed Ex have a mission to destroy every gun they can get their hands on! Sorry they got your's too!

That's a super bargain, and a gun that looks darn nice too!

Which show Pokey? Expo or OAC? Or was there another I missed?

We WA hunters do know what damp weather is.

Yea, we know about it in Oregon too! I didn't realise the pictures were out of focus; everything looks blurry in the winter here!

I hope he's still got my set! I couldn't make it today, as the old car restoration got in the way, but he said he was holding a set for me!

marlinman93

Ouch! I lost the love of my life (1955 Chevy) back in 1973, when some jerk stole it right after I gt home from the service. That's how I ended up with the Camaro I now have. I never got it back, and have always missed it. I think the 55 Chevy is one of the neatest cars ever built. I'll probably neve...

Thanks Chad! So when are you starting the '66 or '67 Chevelle?

You just need another levergun so you can drop the first one and pick up another loaded one!

Holy cow Shawn! I'm surprised the dyno could keep up with your car! That's a nice ride!

Sure Tom. It is indeed a BBC, 427ci bored .040" over, with a few other changes to make around 465HP on the dyno. The color is actually GM charcoal gray metallic with some pearl in it. The stripes are black pearl. It's running a highly modified Turbo 350, with Transgo manual full competition shi...

The farther north you go, the less rain. My son lives in Ferndale near the Canadian border, and he gets much less rain than the Seattle area. Also the farther north you go, the more rural it is. Nice conservative populations up north near the border.

Well long before guns I was deeply into hotrods. I've had a ton of them from around 13 yrs. My present car is still a project after 36 yrs. of owning it. I bought this 1971 Camaro when I got out of the Air Force in 1973. It's been an ongoing hobby ever since. I've been away from this forum for most ...

That's about as good as it gets!
And the answer is yes to elephants having more than one baby in their life. We've got quite a brood here at the Portland Zoo, and have had elephants drop more than one baby over the years.
