    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    Ive shot many a xd-9. Ive never had a problem with them except when it comes to cheap hollowpoint ammo. Run some Hornaday TAP and you should be fine. They are a great gun IMO, and even though the trigger has been compared to a Block (replace the b with a g), it shoots quite nice right...

    ITS t61 Turbo needs Rebuilt......questions

    I would hope it wouldn't be more than a month. To machine the housing is around $40. Backplate is about the same. It really just depends on how much machining has to be done.

    Interesting Read on the use of Chrome moly in roll cages

    The general rule of thumb is either completely heat treated or not at all. In the sprint cars and midgets (you know the ones you see flipping out of the ball park) that Ive built we ALWAYS USE GROUP N tubing due to the fact it has a greater "stretch" ability over heat treated 4130.

    Grim: They are supposed to be completely heat treated after welding and x rayed. But BEHOLD! They aren't. SeeJohn Force.

    That still doesn't mean the bearing housing or the back plate isn't fubar.

    BINGO! Even if the repair was on group N 4130, the car should have been scrapped or taken apart, x rayed, then repaired or scrapped. Blows my mind that you're going to trust some guy to lay a bead on some thing going 330mph.....

    ITS t61 Turbo needs Rebuilt......questions

    Right now you're looking at longer than two weeks if the bearing housing is fubar. It would have to go and get machined. If it has major amounts of shaft play, the front seat plate will need to be machined, and that takes around 2 weeks or so.... After all said and done providing the...

    Heat treated 4130 "goes faster" supposedly.

    ITS t61 Turbo needs Rebuilt......questions

    If its a ball bearing unit, go back to ITS. I could rebuild it, but you're going to be waiting some time for machine work and balancing. Also, these units come out of balance when the wheels start gathering oil/carbon deposits or damage.

    The p95 isn't a bad piece, but remember to keep it clean and if you're using it as a CCW, make sure you hit the range at least once every 2 months or so. http://www.gundirectory.com/more.asp?gid=20241&gun=Pistol

    One thing about top fuel and funny car chassis that blows me away is how thin they really are. 1 1/2" x .065"?????
