Those aren't disc hubs. I'm building them up for a friend's Allez EVO.

Never mind me, I swore I could see the disc bolt bumps on it.

Still pretty though.

Can't really tell from the photo how bad it is (apparently I can't even distinguish a disc brake hub.) but cuts on the sidewall are usually more serious than ones on the thread surface. The sidewalls are usually a lot thinner and flex a lot more.

Didn't say, I didn't really care when I was skimming through CL. I was just looking at random stuff, and they popped up, so I clicked it.

I think I'm just going to bite the bullet and kiss it goodbye. Thems the breaks.

Thanks :)
I'm probably going to try again soon, and leave earlier, because I didn't have time to get all the way to the top before I needed to turn around and head to school.

Today I went to the range for the first time with my father to learn to shoot. I have only ever fired a shotgun. It was exciting to use his new AR-15 rifles. Needless to say:

Da hell? Were you shooting a 20 pound 18 gauge?
Pretty damn sure just about any shotgun is gonna have a lot more kick than an AR-15. What rounds were you shooting?

hairnet 05-08-13 06:40 PM

Browning Citori with bird shot. 12 guage


AR-15 with 5.56x45
but I don't know anything about guns, so that is all I can say

And that kicked less than an AR-15? .223?

hairnet 05-08-13 06:55 PM

Seems so

from what I can recall, the shotgun would kick straigh back while the rifle recoil would jerk me a bit and move the barrel up. Maybe having the shotgun already aiming up reduced that upward recoil.

The Browning felt great though. Big gun for a big guy.

My favorite gun that always makes me feel like a badass is a .44 magnum. I even have a cowboy holster. How bout that.

so. much. kick.

What do you have chambered for .44 mag. Some sort of single action I imagine. Blackhawk maybe?

Spot on. It's a 10.5" Blackhawk.

I have a couple boxes of Speer soft points. 270gr. It's a hunting round, so it's a pretty heavy load. I probably still have half a box of 44 specials too. Haven't opened the safe in a while.

Today I used 409 as laundry detergent. Seems like it made colors run a bit...

hairnet 05-08-13 08:49 PM

My dad has a .44 magnum too, I will give it a try next time. I did fire a .45 Glock today and I couldn't even hit the target.

They are a lot of fun. If possible start out with some 44 special loads in it to get the feel for the recoil before stepping it up to the heavy stuff. Have fun.

Today I rode fast and turned left.

In one race, I rode faster and turned left better than the other dudes. Pretty stoked about that.

Today I had a job interview. I think it went really well because I was there for an hour an got a good rapport going with my interviewers. *fingers crossed*

GENESTARWIND 05-09-13 01:32 AM

big fan of .357 mag, have a sw snub large frame that i love.

mmmm .45 so easy to shoot lol feels so soft with a kick compared to shooting a 9mm hp which to me feels sharp and annoying, i do own a 9mm though... a hk p7, such a sexy pistol.

my g23 is my favorite though, was my carry piece for a long time. aftermarket tungsten guide rod and trigger assembly..

bout time i saw some gun talk in here!

Replace rode with drove and you just quoted every post race interview done by a NASCAR driver. They turn left real good.

I'd think the shotgun recall would be the worse of the two. As far as I know the AR-15 has the same construction as an M-16, which has a recoil spring in the stock. It should have less kick than a standard .22 rifle. I was a Marine, so I'm familiar with all of the above.

.45 is a low velcity round, they are notoriously inaccurate. It's one of the reasons the military switched to 9mm pistols. I was in one of the last training platoons to use the colt 45. One of our drill instructors told us beyond 100 feet we were better off throwing rocks at the enemy rather than trying to hit them with a colt.

That being said, the .45 has alot more 'stopping power' than a 9mm, which is a high velocity round, and is known for producing what is called a "through and through wound". Goes in the front, comes out the back. Getting hit with a .45 round on the other hand is more like getting hit with a manhole cover, it's going to drop you on the spot. Better for close quarters.

The Marine Corps pilots I knew tended to carry neither when they were flying combat missions. Most carried a .357 in a shoulder holster, loaded with hollow point rounds. More accurate than a .45, more stopping power than a 9mm.

Today I saw a bear riding a bicycle maul a monkey, who was also riding a bicycle. Like bears weren't terrifying enough already. Now they can chase you on bikes.

Most exciting pursuit race I've ever seen.

Way to close the gap.
