The only thing I really need more of is 12ga and .22. Don't have much .30-06 but I don't go through much.

 

By the way, I wouldn't worry about the Super X .22 ammo Jerry, I'm going thru a box right now. The only kind that's really bad is Remington .22 in the 550 box Walmart *used to* have. In 200 rounds I had 4 shells break at the back when fired and spray hot gas in my face. Wanna buy 3000 rounds of it? :lol:

If you happen to come across the 30-06 ammo you may as well play it safe and pick some up. That may be the caliber that saves your life one day. Better to have some of everything.

Where's the best place online to find 5.56? Seems like it's more rare around here than .22 is.

 

 

Try Lohmanarms.com. I bought 1500 rounds just as the freakout happened and even though he was out at the time he still honored the old price on his website when he got some in even though the prices were increased. Brian was great to work with and kept me up to date with phone calls and emails about how my order was coming along.

Thanks for the tip wurgs.

 

And yeah I love my .30-06, I'm going to pick up some more ammo, a bipod, and some flip caps if I can find decent ones. Right now I have some innertube to cover my glass :lol:

I've read mixed reviews online. Some saying the Winchester super x work great and some say they are bad for semi autos. I will find out next trip up to the club soon... I gotta take another trip to a gun store further out that is not as known as Wal-Mart.

Its not to terrible here in north dakota, I did pick up a 12ga for blasting until the frenzy blows over though, and in the last week, I've picked up 440 rounds of 5.56mm at 10$ a box of 20 55gr fmjs. Picked up 270 of shot gun ammo, and between 22lr, .223, .40, 270wsm, and .243 I had about 1600 rounds stock piled already, my biggest thing is the cold, sitting at a range with 1.5-2 feet of snow and freezing temps are no good.

 

Places I've bought ammo from in the past few weeks - Walmart, Gander Mountain, and a few LGS's.

We have tons of shotgun locally as well as quite a bit of .22lr. A couple weeks ago I was at walmart and everything but .38 special, .45 colt, .22, 12g, and 20g, was sold out. Now the .38s and .45s are gone too.

No problem with either of the rifles you listed. If you go onto the AR forums.. AR15.com or M4carbine.com they would shred either for the lack of MIL SPEC this and that ect.. just learn the ins and outs and enjoy shooting.. id have a .223 wylde chamber for best accuracy.. with wanting a 5.56mm second. you can shoot the cheaper mil ammo outta both of those chambers.. just not .223 chamber.

Got that phone call. Bought the Bushmaster, Now I have 2 ar's.... lol Have a few buddies looking, sure I can sell the DPMS for what I paid. What are the odds? Oh and I bought 100 rounds of Winchester 5.56 at Walmart today. Must be my lucky day.

You can probably sell your DPMS for double. Idiots around are paying twice the original price or more for ARs. There have been some $800-$1000 ARs going for 2000-2500. Crazy!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had skimmed through that article when you posted the link and honestly I felt rather defeated in a sense and realized that all these years in changing oil that in fact putting in what I was told was a good quality oil was probably not filtered as well as it should be although the filter put on the engine would be what ( as long as it never went into bypass mode ) would be the final filtering of the new oil that the engine components would first see, but then the filtering media itself is not up to par to what is ideal because a full flow filter would be too restrictive to filter fine enough for the engines best outcome in the long run. Only one of our tractors over the years which was a Versatile with a 855 Cummins had a separate bypass filter, some engine manufacturers did spec a partial bypass system within the main oil filter but I don't believe any other trucks or equipment I was servicing used such a filter. No doubt a product like the Amsoil bypass system is of benefit as long as nothing goes sideways with the extra plumbing and filter such as a rupture/leak that could cause the oil to pump out of the engine ( yes that Versatile had a remote canister with hoses routed to it as well ). With the idiot egr system on a diesel and as a result forcing a lot more soot into the oil, that certainly isn't helping the diesel engines cause or as you pointed out the GDI engine issue with creating more soot and aside from having a fancy secondary filtering system, changing the oil more often helping lower the total soot load.     So oil manufacturing and the end product is not something one can control and I wonder if there are specs on what various oil packaging companies produce in particle count or size. As to the filtering, if the OEM is not designing a filter size and spec that is really what it could be, they too are short changing the end user and so what is the answer. Of course as you say the oil side can only do so much if the air side isn't keeping up its end of the picture and air filters are only so efficient and if in a dusty environment such as farm or construction or driving gravel roads there is a lot of dirt to filter out and some of that ends up into the air stream.    Of course the irony in places like where I am where they dump the salt on the highways but also will mix in some calcium or outright pure calcium for problem road area's, or using calcium as dust control on gravel roads, the vehicle that gets used in that environment may rust out before a properly engineered engine and maintenance finally wears out so one has to face that reality in the rust belt.

      Oil Change

      By Erfar · Posted

      have you stuck with dealer oil changes since then? I made the same switch after getting tired of crawling around under the truck, but I’ve found some dealers are way better than others about getting you in quickly. Curious if yours has been good about scheduling or if you’ve had to look elsewhere for quicker turnaround.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thank you.   I am set on a 3.0 Duramax as my previous truck with a Ford Ecoboost had just as many, if not more, "common" issues.  Cam phasers, timing chain issues, 10-speed valve body and CDF drum, emissions issues, etc.  So I figured, why not get 2x the fuel mileage (these things got 27+mpg on every mixed city/highway test drive I put them through) and better towing capability with resale value to boot?   My minimum, shortest trip will be 50 miles 1-way and I regularly go out of state with a travel trailer.  I'm planning on using this for a marketing/event promotion business also, which would require regular towing of trailers for bands, DJs, sound and lighting gear, along with my personal camera gear for filming events.   Looked at other trucks in the $30k+ price range but the issues seem to be everywhere, plus too many with gaudy mods.  I'm literally sticking with RWD trucks because they tend to be actually used as trucks, vs. the 4x4 models I've seen with unsafe lifts, huge tires, and general mods that would affect reliability (I'm wondering if some of them were tuned, hence the aggressive throttle response and hard shifting).   So my goal is to find a stock, 3.0 with 1 or 2 owners, in good physical condition, and decently well maintained.  Can't seem to find that up here, everything in the $27-30k range has had multiple owners, smoke smell, issues, or body damage.  Or the ridiculously modified trucks with 80k miles for under $27k but lots of problems...

      That’s pretty tough Grumpy. I reread the previous few posts. They all reference oil changes. Much like your last thread. In my humble opinion it keeps things interesting.
