Local guy with it... I buy it.

I need to get Taz in this thread - he and I got into the M109R engines in 2007, big time. We bought a "spare engine" just to tech out, and find improvements - it was tough. At one point, there was one of our engines that layed down 161hp, with all-stock bottom internals. We were gunning for a Hp figure that would kick the $hit out of a V-Rod Destroyer. Those of you that don't know what the Destroyer is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harley-Davidson_VRSC#VRXSE:_V-Rod_.22Destroyer.22

Jackpot - that's some Japanese V-Twin, right there. Those are the tuning runs I had to make on my M109 (Suzuki), once I pulled the secondary throttle plates. Your right wrist controls the primary throttle plates, but the computer decides when to open the secondaries, at it's leisure. I was NOT okay with that, so I yanked the secondary plates. I WILL BE THE ONE that controls throttle opening, gawd-daymit. No other way. Computer can kiss my ass... However, I loaded that thing up on the dyno, secondaries removed (there's more mods, just not talked about right now), and WHACKED THAT THROTTLE. Shot over 18:1 af/r. LEAN!!! Had to make almost 30 runs on the dyno to get that lean spike taken care of, and that's what you guys see in the graph. Simple tuning for the mod went from 131hp/117lb/ft to 135hp/122lb/ft. Just from tuning. Af/r was 12.75 all the way out, until 6500rpm, then it went lean and spiked to 15:1. I didn't have anymore time on the dyno at that point, so I couldn't fix the end of it. How many Harley guys can say they have 100lb/ft of torque from 2,250rpm all the way to 7,200 rpm? NONE! Harley's don't know what a rev past 5,500 rpm sounds like! <lmao> What's cool in this build was 110lb/ft of torque from 2,700rpm to 6,000 rpm. Torque makes engines. Hp is just an equation of "torque over time." I've skeered some Harley owners at some dyno shootouts - they're not used to hearing an engine revving that high - or putting out numbers that high. They kinda $hit themselves... <lmao> Let's race!

I've still got 3lbs - I know I can get more locally (will travel).

You guys shouldn't laugh - bastards. I shot Blue's .460 S&W Magnum like that, and got hit just like that. Damn near split my wig. I couldn't believe the damn recoil on that thing, so I shot the cylinder until it was empty (stOOOPID thing to do). I was such a dumbass that I thought it was a fluke, so I stood beside Jon when HE fired it, just to make sure the recoil was the same. Long story short(er) - the recoil is MUCH WORSE when you're BESIDE the damn thing. It's UNBEARABLE when you're shooting it. It's "xxxxxxxxxx" when you stand beside it. That one is ALL on me...

DAMN!!! :eek: I think that was everything Drew was looking for, and you CRUSHED that one outta the park!!! <laughs> :banana:

Hey now, hold the fuk on for a second here. You've been on this board talking $hit like you're some kind of LE agent or something, and NOW you know everything about being in another job. For clarification, WHAT THE FUK ARE YOU? Are you LE? Or, are you UAW in some manner or fashion? As far as the LE question goes, it's pretty damn simple. You ARE Law Enforcement, OR, you ARE NOT Law Enforcement. ***Last comment deleted, pending your response***

That's the 2-stroke way of doin' things! <lmao>

I don't think there's any other state that put on the fireworks display that we do. We travel. We produce. Bad Times are NEVER HAD here! <lmao> I'll stock up on the Tannerite now. Drew needs to $hit-can another phone for us sometime soon. <thumbsup>

It gets us all, at times. Whatever you do, DO NOT search any YT vids on Pat McNamara. I'm just sayin'...

Just let us know the dates, man, and we'll set something up during the timeframe. You might shat yourself when you see the stuff that shows up, though. Fair warning ahead of time... <lmao>

^^^ That's the whole reason I hate hydraulic buffers. They have no purpose, but to fail on you, eventually, as every hydraulic cylinder will fail on you eventually. They will fail RIGHT at the time you need them to work. because that's Murphy's Law. You can't beat Murphy's Law. Weighted buffers and real chrome silicon springs will work just fine. And, they're not complicated. <thumbsup>

Not yet - just worked on it 2 days ago, told him the door was in spec, and matched the doors I have. His upper didn't measure out like other uppers I have. Told him he was screwed. Now, I have a solution for him. I'll get one ordered and installed on his rifle, then report back. <thumbsup>

Ironically, I just worked on a rifle owned by a guy at work. His cover won't stay closed, due to upper receiver machining. One little bump and it flies open. This is his cure. Awesome.

If it's not made by Armalite, it's not an AR-10. Comes right down to that. There are some other manufacturers that follow the AR-10 pattern, but you wouldn't refer to them as AR-10s.

beach, it just takes time, brother. They'll reproduce on their own if you give them enough time. Before you know it, you'll have more in your safe than you ever remember purchasing... <lmao> My "Stack Of Kimbers:"

During talks with a Springfield rep, they will NOT be making this pistol in .40. Too much pressure, so they're not going to produce it. What I heard from an official rep. <dontknow>

Pick a Thursday or a Sunday when you can get to Jon's range in Marana, and you can shoot the piss out of mine, brother. Preferrably, it would be a Thursday or a Sunday when Jon is running the range. This now puts the burden on Jon, to list his upcoming schedule, so we can make arrangements... <lmao> HURRY UP, JON!!! :banana: <laughs>

...and then piss on him to put him out... :banana: <laughs>

Self-admission from you, too - you're brand new to concealed carry. Congrats on paying attention in class, to what the instructors told you. I also open carry, like I stated. I'm probably 50/50 on open and concealed. It's all situational, and has everything to do with surroundings. I'm MUCH more cognizant of "gun-protection" in my open-carry practices than I am of my concealed carry practices. When I'm concealed, no matter what I choose to wear, I dress to the gun. You'd never be able to see or tell that I'm carrying a 5" 1911, a 5" double-stack 1911, a 4" 1911, or a 4" XD45, or a 3" 1911, or an XDs45.

And as I said, I don't have it locked to my side, like I'm crippled or anything. Normal movement, not crammed into my side. I don't reach up on a shelf with that hand, either. I just don't give the chance for access to my right side. Doesn't mean I won't shake someone's hand in public. Not at all. There's a difference, brother.

I think I have a good comparison coming on this one... Looking at their dimensions: DoubleTap™ Specifications*: Caliber: .45 ACP or 9mm (Other calibers coming soon) Weight: 15 oz Titanium (45 Ported empty) 13 oz Aluminum (45 Ported empty) Width: .665 inches Length: 5.5 inches Height: 3.9 inches Barrel: 3.0 inches (Stainless Steel) Frame: Titanium or Aluminum I think you'd be better off with this instead. 5 + 1 loaded. The ability to rapidly reload 7. I'm going with this one:

<lmao> Reminds me of... "If you were on fire, I wouldn't piss on you to put you out." <laughs>

My long-standing philosophy: Don't complicate $hit with complicated $hit.

Open, Concealed - I do both. It's 100% of the time when I'm outside my home (very, very few instances when it won't go in somewhere with me). Inside the home, something is always close by. One thing to always live by, and this is just an example - I'm right handed, and a pistol is on my right hip. When out and about, how do you act, what do you do? In public, I never carry anything in my right hand, never reach for anything with my right hand, never have my right arm up or outstretched from my body. My right arm is always "covering the gun." I don't have it locked to my side, like I'm crippled or anything, but my arm will be in the way of someone else and my pistol. 100% of the time, I make sure there's nothing that will "get in the way," hinder, or slow down access to that pistol. Something to think about next time you're out, and carrying - open or concealed. Next time you reach for a can of peas on the supermarket shelf, and you use your gun-shootin' hand, you'll be thinking about me... <lmao>
