  1. For all of the dogging people give Kalifornia, they are one of the states AGAINST the ANA's drive for universal healthcare. +1 to them in that ONE aspect at least. Still not moving there.
  2. I don't know about "ease", but I did accomplish it bare handed. I roasted the living **** out of it. +1, you won't hurt the weapon.
  3. How, bribe US customs officials? It is out of their hands a lot of the time. That is the nature of imported goods. Like when my friend needed a new fog-lamp lense for his old 325I BMW (old, as in '93, not a classic). It cost him $300 and 2 weeks delivery time from Germany. When a rock put my headlight out on my WS6, it cost me 30 minutes to an auto-parts store and $13.99. My car had a higher MSRP than his and is almost a decade newer. Go figure. Imported stuff can be a pain!
  4. M1S90 military spring, Brownells stocks them.
  5. When you let go of the bolt handle and allow the bolt to fly foreward, does it also make a loud/noticeable noise as the bolt-head is violently forced to rotate the locking lugs into the barrel extension? Seriously, your benelli is just fine. I know you spent a good amount on it and just want to take care of it, but when I bought my Les Baer TRS, you know what they told me when I asked about shock-buffs and other special care? SHOOT THE DAMN THING!

  7. The only one in stock is the cammo one, and those don't appeal to many (at least not me, the cammo flakes like a mofo)
  8. Ummmm...check with your healthcare provider. Seriously though, buy a "tornado" brush, that will get it out. Those bristle-brushes just suck for getting lead out.
  9. Not BS. WHen I bought my M4 PRE Nov.4, it was a 90 day wait from Benelli, so I searched until I found a store that had it in stock. Which is what made me selling it and accessories for the price I sold them for, such a good deal
  10. Duggan is sad me thinks.
  11. I have run Win-lite 9-pellet low-recoil buck through mine. Dunno about the federal stuff.
  12. Fine, I take money elsewhere, you see! ...and go to a different range.
  13. Something here is not right. My M4 ran 1-1/8oz target loads at 1200fps right out of the box. I don't know what to say other than that. The pieces do NOT fit here.
  14. SoldPendingFunds To LAKOTAH
  15. manuals (2, one a parts list, the other a regular owner's manual), warrenty card, Benelli oil, MOD choke tube, shotgun, choke tube wrench, cardboard box, reciept, smile.
  16. Originally Posted by N/Apower +1 PS. Do you find that E85 allows more timing+compression w/o detonation? Interesting move, I like it. Ive been on E85 for over a year now in the Evo. I can run more timing and boost than I can on Sunoco 110oct. When I build the motor, I plan to bump the compression up to 10:1. I am N/Apower on this forum and this is the response I got when asking aobut a guy's E85 tune. I agree Cody, it DOES have limitations and you are spot on with the 30% more volumn requirement. However, if you are willing, there ARE some gains to be had and once the industry grows up around it (if it ever does), I think we will see these shortcomings fading/being overshadowed by performance gains.
  17. Are you referring to E10% or E85? If they are doing that to E85 all I have to say is GHEY!
  18. 18.5 inches
  19. Ethanol offers some serious performance benefits if you build the engine specifically for it and take that into account during your fuel system setup and fuel mapping. Roughly every half point in compression that you add, is 15hp more. Since E85 allows 13-15:1 vs. the current industry cap of around 11.5:1, you are gaining an easy 50 horses with an E85 specific engine.
  20. Meh, Ethanol reduces mileage. However, Ethanol DOES have a higher "effective" "octane rating" so to speak and allows the use of higher compression engines. My point is this. If we were to go to Ethanol, car manufacturers could build engines around 13:1 or so vs. the current limit of around 11-11.5:1. More hp/ci I am a fan of this idea, but my current LS1 powered jalopie is only hurt by E85 (I can't run it with my current injecotrs/fuel mapping, but E10% is common in my area and will work in my vehicle) as it just kills mileage and since I am not going to go to thinner head-gaskets, different pistons, or advance my timing any, it does nothing for me except reduce the range I can drive before filling up and in some cases increase the cost I pay for the benefit/utility I get. Moral: auto manufacturers and gas companies need to get togather and 100% phase out regular gasoline so that E85 or higer Ethanol % run engines can be safely operated without fear of getting the regular stuff and suffereing detonation. This would however cause issues because older engines would require re-mapping of the fuel delivery and possibly larger injectors. Point being, the transition will be a *****, every expensive, and people will hate it. E85 is a gradual way of doing things, but it is a loss/loss in my opinion. Engines are obviously not allowed higher compression beause they are "flex-fuel" and must be able to run on 93* oct. minimum requirement as well as E85. So all you get is less miles per gallon when using E85. Period.
  21. It is not illegal to have, it is illegal to install. This is according to 922r. However, it would still be illegal to install USA stamped or not. It doesn't matter. The M4 would still have more than 10 imported parts, however, a lot of debate remains on the parts count.
  22. M16A4 clone with KAC RAS M5 rail and ACOG.
  23. Just wait until Magpul makes a polymer one
  24. You want the toes too? COME GET 'EM!
