Thread: What Do You Have In The Mail Right Now?

All the engines were were machined exactly the same by the same shop, all parts were the same. This also applied to the transmissions, suspensions, tires etc.

So all seven cars were 'Identical'-----------

However there was ONE CAR that ran faster and it didn't matter on what type of course or driver.

There was 'Something' that was different about that car even though it had received the same treatment as all the other cars.

I'm just thinking that while 'Identical Razors' from a 7 day set, that 'Maybe' they wouldn't be so 'Identical' in the end--

Roy the one that was faster had chrome radio knobs

Not me! I like the wood.
Besides, a cannon like this needs all the weight it can get!

Holy crap!
Looks like a cannon firing

Slow burning powder in a short barrel?

Bob

No. Just 7.62x54 Russian. That and pic is at dusk it seems.
Broad daylight it is only about 2 feet wide and long.

The Russian Mosin. For when you want to kill one person in a room, set the other 5 on fire, and deafen everyone in the next room!


Serious fun at the range!

Yep, obvious sign of a slower powder even if its factory ammo.

Whatever! It''s McNasty. Touch over 30.06 in a 40 inch rifle. Kicks marvelously!
Men shot man-sized bullets back then.
That shot is there as any high-powered projectile is spent.
Just need to capture it right. Given right circumstances.
Nuff-said!

Yes, short barreled carbine rifles using full sized 30 cal rounds do have a bit of a kick to them. The Ruger bolt action mannlicher stocked carbine in 308 Win I had wasn't too bad and did not have a huge muzzle flash when using a faster burning ball powder. The small ring Brno Mauser action 1/2 stocked carbine 7x57 was a real joy to carry and shoot also. The same rifle in 8X57 was getting on to be more of a hand full. Got to love carbines.
