    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    I just moved out of the frozen North (aka. western New York) to Charleston, SC for the start of my naval career. Got to talking with one of my friends and I mentioned that I was getting ready to do the application process for the CWP down here. Then he mentions that I could purchase a handgun...

    turbo hater lol

    ...superchargers are more mathematically predictable? In terms of understanding operation, yes. In terms of actually doing the airflow calculations and sizing based on maps? No. then again, i've only done turbos. That article wasn't worth the internet it's printed on.

    Graduation present

    Haha thanks Those are actually Boxster 17"s- I think the '85s could come with either the phone dials or the weird slotted ones. The guy who had it gave us the OEM slotted ones as well, but I like these better. I enjoy watching people walk around it and wonder wtf it is... quite amusing to me.

    Graduation present

    The (old) Official Gun Thread.

    It was about average for a SPAS in decent shape-1300. May have been a bit too much considering there was no stock with it, but I'm not going to complain. And yeah, I do know about the issues with the lever safeties (and knew beforehand)- this one is still functioning properly- but really...

    It's also good for making the user feel like a total badass and pissing off anti-gun people... PS: the M41A was made from SPAS bits over a Rem. 870

    So I went to the gun show this weekend (stories that start like this never end well for the bank accounts involved...): Franchi SPAS-12 (Sporting Purpose/Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun). They were made from 1976-2000, and were banned from import into the US in the mid-80s (because they...

    One can only hope that the country is coming to its senses, and that we can keep the favorable majority in the SC until we get a president who'll appoint favorable replacements...
