The 14.5mm round is an anti-aircraft round the Russians developed eons ago and makes the .50BMG look like a puny runt. The new world record for the longest sniper kill was recorded...

With so much stuff to choose from,...it seems an impossible task. But if I could get my hands on a SNIPEX T-Rex,...I'd be a happy man. Sore and abused, but happy.

Aaaaaaand that's why I don't live in the south. That and humidity that makes for constant sweat year round, even indoors.

Yep,...I'm seriously thinking about finding a VW 1.9l TDI and dropping that in my Samurai. They call that "The Axis Conversion". (You know,...because Japs & Germans together again?)

My daily driver is a 1997 2-door Tahoe with the rear barn doors. They stopped making 2-doors in 1999, so these are a minimum of 25 years old now, and purely through attrition, they are getting scarce...

That right there is what the Iosso Case Cleaner solution is perfect for. It would take the majority of that darkness right off, and then you'd only have to run it in cleaning or polishing media for a...

Yeah, unfortunately the guy who runs TCCI is a bit of a curmudgeon and still stuck in the early 90s tech-wise. No cell phone and still uses a fax machine. He's got tons of surplus WW2-era small arms...

Yes,...70s and early 80s production. I have some from the early 70s when CCI still went by Cascade Cartridge Inc. As long as they have been properly stored, they should still go bang reliably.
