The revolver reminds of Papa Basura's 1840 Colt reproduction. Black powder and percussion caps.
He took it apart to fix something, then got sick and died so it never got put back together. Mama Basura threw out the pieces. We hid the Ruger 10/22 from her. Posted by: Blanco Basura at October 17, 2015 04:24 PM (YJmuy) 18

Beside my farm is a road leading into and dead ending at the swamp, it's where everybody comes to sight in their rifles or shoot long range. The trees on that side of my property line are marked with gold paint every hundred yards. The last few weeks some neighbor or other has been out pew pewing away almost every night. My pigs can get to about ten feet of the setup for 200 and 300 yards and they take no note of rifles going off right beside them.

Posted by: Soothsayer, with arms akimbo at October 17, 2015 04:25 PM (MzrNg) They probably wouldn't have, if it had happened, which it probably didn't. There aren't any actual known cases of it that I've been able to find, just about everything written on the subject falls into one of two categories: 1) Christian texts decrying pagan excesses in general terms. 2) Renaissance texts decrying medieval excesses in general terms. Like many awful things, it may have happened at some point, but it wasn't a legal or cultural institution in any significant way. In other words, it's a myth.

Palmetto State Armory sells lower completion kits for a pretty reasonable price.
One of the nice things they do is they'll offer a pretty standard kit, but then upgrade the trigger to a Geissele, and charge what the trigger alone usually costs. The only things on a lower I really care about changing are the trigger and I like an ambi safety, since I shoot rifle lefty. Posted by: Chupacabra at October 17, 2015 04:44 PM (QFjNO) 67

Yep, most "top 10" lists/articles are silly or weird. That one's outstanding in those respects, though. No Garand. No MG42. No STG 44. No MP 40. But Reising? PPS? Sten gun? OK. Whatever. Anyway muchas gracias CBD for the bang-stick thread! Actually gotta clean my Garand. Forty-eight rounds through it on Thursday. I haven't detail-stripped either Garand since I got them (CMP), at which time I detail stripped, cleaned, cleaned and BLO'd the stocks. Since lock-up is key and declines with removal from the stock, I am following the advice of some CMP forum M1 guys and limiting my detail strip to very rarely. I can use the tool (forget the designation) from the cleaning kit to disassemble the bolt in the rifle, so I've done that to clean one of the bolts.

So, special category. I've only fired one or two World War Guns. For another take on Prima Noctae and what happens next, see 1965 "The War Lord" with Heston and Richard Boone.

Posted by: Ricardo Kill at October 17, 2015 04:38 PM (hiAlJ) ======================== Speaking of pretty guns, I'd be interested sometime in a gun thread for tiny-hand people. A lot of these guns are for manly-hand people. Little W used to have (before that moose tipped over our canoe) firearms that I could barely maintain a good hold of. I know that's crappy grammar, Ann, just give it a rest already. What I'm saying is that not everyone who wants a weapon is size XL. Some of us of the feminine persuasion need something lighter, something smaller. I have one such item already, but i am having trouble finding something that doesn't make me immediately want to put it down, lest I tear a rotator cuff. Posted by: grammie winger, Psalm 27:1 at October 17, 2015 04:47 PM (dFi94) 80
I don't think my information is current enough on AR parts, I'd have to re-research it (unless the last place I bought from is still in business and then I'd still have to research their rep a little)...
What I do is basically look for something like the M4Carbine.net forums, dig through and get a quick feel for which question-answerers have a background like serious armorers and competitive shooters, look at their advice and compare it to anything else people say on the boards about those sellers. Probably a better tactic than asking random schoolchildren, anyway. Haven't had a problem yet (fingers crossed). Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at October 17, 2015 04:48 PM (bLnSU) 81

Also, I buy most of my AR-15 stuff from Palmetto (some guns, too, when they get crazy deals). They have nice fully built uppers that come with really good cold hammer forged barrels, bolts, and bolt carriers (the perfectly legal full-auto versions, usually), and all I'd really feel a need to change out would be the charging handle.

Grammie, S(ampersand)W has a lot of revolvers made for women and smaller hands. LadySmith and Airweight come to mind. A lot of the older manufacturers' revolvers also tend to have smaller grips. Keltec has a small auto that is too small for my hands.
Also a lot of the older Browning vest pistols are good for smaller hands One of the problems is the double-stack magazines in automatics is that they work best for folks like me with strangler hands.

====================== Ya, I forgot about the LadySmith. I tried that out a couple of years ago and it didn't feel quite right in my hand, so I went with something else. But maybe I should go back and give it another chance. The guy in town where we go knows me by name and lets me take a lot of time with whatever he has in stock.

But I am seeing some really silly sh*t. $20 "billet" trigger guard? $100 charging handles? WTF?
Posted by: Tilikum Killer Assault Whale at October 17, 2015 04:57 PM (hVdx9) I got my custom non-stock dowhangdanger charging handle for $35. As they say, you can spend just about as much as you want for anything. People spend $30,000 on a watch, that doesn't mean watches are all ridiculous. I probably couldn't make and sell a billet (as in metal, not plastic) trigger guard for less than that. I could stamp one in China for pennies, though. I don't remember the price of the Magpul trigger guards, which I got some time ago for their shape, I think they're still plastic (but more robust than "stock").

"Grammie, S(ampersand)W has a lot of revolvers made for women and smaller hands. LadySmith and Airweight come to mind. A lot of the older manufacturers' revolvers also tend to have smaller grips. Keltec has a small auto that is too small for my hands. " Lady Smith and Taurus. . . .Just one thing to keep in mind when trying out the grips on some of those guns, light weight means more felt recoil. And some of those smaller lighter revolvers can thump your hand fairly good even with moderate defensive loads. Lighter is not always better IMO.

Those $100 charging handles are usually the Raptor. Just looking at the design of it, it's nowhere near as good as forums would suggest.
Bravo company makes some really nice ambi ones, and you can find those at around $65. But, if you don't want/need ambi, I see no reason not to go with mil-spec. Posted by: Chupacabra at October 17, 2015 05:03 PM (QFjNO) 107
That is a fully semi-boltamatic AR-47 sniper rifle with extended baby seal-clubbing stock and double triggers to fire two bullets at once.

Magpul makes a plastic trigger guard and a metal one. I bought the metal one last time and like it just fine.

Grammie, see if Pachmeyer or Hogue or one of the other grip companies make grip plates or a wrap-around grip that fits your hand better.
But yes, the grip angle is important, if it doesn't fit the hand right it hurts every time you shoot, and it isn't fun. Posted by: Kindltot at October 17, 2015 05:05 PM (3pRHP) 112

I have made it a point not to spend a penny with CTD since they were such price gouging Douchebags during the 07-08 troubles. Some might call that capitalism or supply and demand in action. Anyway, I forgave them. It's pretty hard to reject, out of hand, a company that can deliver shit I want in a day. YMMV, obviously!... Posted by: Spun and Murky at October 17, 2015 05:10 PM (4DCSq) 117
By expensive rifles, I meant like the Holland & Holland deluxe drillings, for $228,000.
Yeah, that's ridiculous, billionaire-money for a gun, but enough crazy people buy them that H&H still makes them. A couple of K is not ridiculous for a good rifle, but you can build a quality AR for well under 1000 and sometimes you can buy a quality one for under 700. If you were both lucky and careful, you could probably build one for less than that, especially if you don't want anything non-standard.

When a man buys a LadySmith, it's called a Mod.65. A federal judge in this locale went through a lot of trouble with my favorite FFL, also a federal marshal, to get one for his tiny-li'l hands that didn't have "Lady" laser-etched on the frame.
La Stringereuse has a .357 LadySmith. I like it as a .38; at full power it's a bit harsh. But the ultra-light Taurus titanium is one of the nastier revolvers I've ever handled. Back of the trigger guard hits your gripping finger and bites. 'Small grips' does not have to equal 'tiny frame.' Also, I don't like snubbies. I think a pistol ought to have 4 inches of barrel, anyway. It does a lot to counter-act that snap. With a longer barrel and porting, the straight honest recoil of a .44 mag is not as hard to deal with as the wrist-torquing of a shortie .357.

I would post a picture of the Taurus I've carried every single day for 16 hours a day the last 4 years, but it looks like a gun that has been in 95 degrees 90 percent humidity for four summers. But
It shoots every time. Carry 2 10 mags with me and randomly I'll just tractor over to my range and run them through. I've never had a single issue with it. It's like my Linus blanket now. Posted by: traye at October 17, 2015 05:12 PM (IOhZn) 123

Personally I'd go with a 4", but a 2" Chiappa Rhino would be insanely concealable, pretty light, and very low perceived recoil.
Not cheap, though. About $700 I think. Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at October 17, 2015 05:16 PM (bLnSU) 127

Barack Obama is range qualified on the AK-15.
This is an old story, but it still pisses me off, so, here: Couple years back, the TCU rifle team (all women there, a Title IX thing) won the national championship, and so got invited to the big lawn reception at the White House for all NCAA champion teams. They were, suitably, proud. Obama didn't know that rifle was an NCAA sport, and then, he tried to bullshit them that he regularly trained on the M-16 with the Secret Service at Quantico. National champion shooters. Women. From Texas (mostly). And thought they'd buy that. What gave him away was that The Punahou School has a really excellent prep shooting program, and he'd never heard of it. So, yeah. AK-15.

Posted by: traye **** I think a better analogy would be when the import car performance market blossomed. There were the performance guys, and those that were more concerned with looks/looking fast. There were plenty of good parts out there, and plenty of silly ones. Silly- BOV sound generators. Huuuuuuge wings and ridiculous body kits.

Cali girl, we had a girl and her kids living with us for awhile earlier (oh, I have a story) this year, she bought the 9mm shield when she lived here. She was about 5'3" 120 pounds. She liked it much better than her other 9 (can't remember what it was, but was a bigger frame).
I didn't like it, but that was only because of size. Posted by: traye at October 17, 2015 05:25 PM (IOhZn) 135

This girl's husband pointed a gun at her, she left and this was her hiding spot while going through all the legal stuff.
Last year she and her twins and her friend were sitting at a stop light. Sitting. Somebody rear ended her. Of course she was like "oh my god, my babies" but then she got hit again. She thought it was like a chain reaction but then the friend started screaming "he's coming back." She gunned it and luckily the car was still running. So now she's being chased by a maniac. Call 911 and they're like "pull over," thanks for the suggestion but no. Drives through town but the car is having trouble so she pulls into a well lighted parking lot, sees a guy and says "hey somebody is after us." Guy pulls into the lot and comes to the car and started screaming at her. She has her gun in her lap, pointed at him, finger on trigger ready to fire.... She's very Christian and she said in her head she said a little prayer "dear god, I'm getting ready to send this person to heaven or hell, please let me make the right choice." ...Just then the guy backs up a few steps and she takes her finger off the trigger. Cop pulls in just then. Turns out, it was not the maniac, it was the guy that had been in front of her, who had only seen "somebody hit ME and took off."

79 ... Grammie, Mrs. JTB isn't quite 5 foot and has tiny hands with an occasional bout of arthritis symptoms. She likes the CZ 75b 9mm for center fire and the Ruger MkII for rimfire. The CZ 75b has a 22lr adapter kit, the Kadet, and she is deadly with it.
Unfortunately, she doesn't care for the grip or balance of my beloved revolvers. Too bad. It's easier to download ammo with a revolver. Posted by: JTB at October 17, 2015 05:40 PM (FvdPb) 148

Grammie; bunch of manu. are putting out some good inexpensive compact or sub compact semi autos.
The one I've seen with the most differing calibers and styles is Taurus. Taurus is Brazilian but they bought the Beretta plant when Beretta left and they produce a lot of similar/same pistols as Beretta does and they've made some designs of their own. Go to a good well stocked gun store and ask to see their compact frame and sub compact frame models. Or google those to get a list and then google the ones that seem attractive. Go to a manufacturers page to get all the specs and some good pictures. Posted by: Bitter Clinger and All That at October 17, 2015 05:41 PM (Xo1Rt) 150

96 ... Caligirl, The M and P Shield in 9mm is accurate, at least at combat distances, and comfortable and reliable. I've put over 1,000 rounds through mine: no failures to feed or eject. S and W did something right with the ergonomics to make the 9mm so comfortable to shoot in such a light, small gun. And it also passes the Mrs. JTB small hands test.

Took two of my black powder revolvers out today for their exercise periods. One is a Rogers and Spencer .44 which turns out to be a fine shooter. One of the few period weapons that the grips felt good to hold. Most others, in particular the Remington New Model Army have really small grips. The other revolver was an original manufacture .44 cal Remington--another sweet shooter. Only push 28 grains of 3f through that one, though. Everything else is max load.

Spent a summer in AR many years ago. I hear some excited little animal making all kinds of noise.
Outside I saw a squirrel sitting two feet away to the right of a tree, and two feet in front of the squirrel was a chipmunk putting on a very angry display. After a couple seconds I saw movement 3 feet behind the squirrel. Another chipmunk was sneaking up from behind. When it got close enough it leaped upon the squirrel and was immediately joined by the other chipmunk. A tumble of fur, cloud of dust, and then the squirrel shot up the tree like it had a rocket in it's butt. I saw all this, and I still have a hard time believing what I saw.

Oh my, that is terrifying. I wish we could carry in CA. I can carry on the ranch but that is it. We just put a rifle rack on my gator.
Posted by: CaliGirl at October 17, 2015 05:41 PM (BHl9S) Some counties are in violation of the law and court decisions and won't issue permits, but most counties will issue. Unfortunately, the few highest population counties are in the "fuck the people" category. I'm surprised at the number of people *in CA* who think there are no carry permits in CA. Which is why I bring it up. It just depends on the county. Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at October 17, 2015 06:18 PM (bLnSU) 182

I can't just shoot squirrels in my neck of the woods because gun laws in township but I've discovered they snoop around the foundation of my home where I keep mouse poison hidden and if I peel back the opening 1/4 inch I get mice only eating it, while peeling it back to 1/2 inch the squirrels eat it. All. At one sitting. I don't have many squirrels anymore.
The place used to be lousy with them running across the roof, then jumping across from the roof to a tree, then a half dozen of them up a single tree fighting over fruit. So thanks to the gun laws I can't dispatch them quickly and humanely. I plink them with a bb gun and they're back the next day. Posted by: Odam's Theorem at October 17, 2015 06:21 PM (sI4OA) 185

It is a little varmint about the size of a mouse. They live under ground and eat roots, or come above ground and eat garden veggies. They plow up the dirt and make little mounds.

I have a pump action bb gun using .177 hollow point hitting the squirrels from about 10 yards. Aiming for the fattest part of the body. I hit them they run away, that's all.I'm pretty sure I'm hitting them.
I need more power behind the projectile? Or I'm not really hitting them? Posted by: Odam's Theorem at October 17, 2015 06:37 PM (sI4OA) 206
For squirrel control, I use a .22 bolt action target rifle. 3 x 9 50mm scope. I had to change the mounts to get it high enough for the objective end of the scope to clear the barrel. Ammunition is Aquila Super Colibri. 20 grain bullet at 600 fps. So quiet you hear the firing pin fall. Much quieter than the Benjamin pellet rifle. Bullet impact make more noise than the muzzle blast.

.177. You can control the velocity by the number of pumps. The more pumps, the more velocity. Also the greater the report. I knock off all kinds of critters with it, up to large raccoons. Posted by: navybrat at October 17, 2015 06:40 PM (ETxiG) 210

My daughter lives in the woods, surrounded by massive oak trees. Acorns up the ying-yang. Squirrels everywhere. They chew the kids' Fisher Price playsets, they come right up to the windows and taunt the Great Dane, driving him nuts. I swear one day he is going to fling himself thru the window at those dang squirrels. And don't even get me started on the chipmunks. I wish the Greyhound hadn't died.

I've written a ton of computer code in my life. Most in 'high level' languages -- which sounds high level but is the closest to plain old english. But at a certain point of hitting a key a bunch of magic occurred and all my instructions went down to a very low level which on my best ever day I could never understand. So I'm watching some program on the moon landing and these tech people write the computer code for the landing craft, send it off to MIT, who converts it to low level instructions, and sends it back to NASA where two little old ladies pass wires back and forth through some breadboard for months on end -- hand wiring the computer code. The moon landing and return was absolutely amazing for the technology of the day. Posted by: Odam's Theorem at October 17, 2015 07:43 PM (sI4OA) 279

dogfish had the right of it first as to type - exact year/caliber may vary for some.
Mine is a Model 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer in 6.5X54 M.S., has original claw-type mount bases for a telescopic sight (which, alas, I do not have and have never been able to find) and an original 3-leaf Express-Rifle-style rear sight with matching ramp-style bead front sight, complete with engraved action and double-set trigger. Very nice burled-Walnut stock, hand-checkered grip and fore-end panels, steel fore-end tip cap and checkered buttplate. Custom re-fitted/re-stocked sometime between the World Wars in Austria, and then later - probably around the late-60's/early-70's - glass-bedded to stabilize barrel-to-stock fit. At over 100 years old, it's still a "tack-driver" - if I do my part properly, it will make one fairly-largish ragged hole out of 3 to 5 shots at anything out to 300 yards. Premium hunting rifle, good for anything up to bear-size game, and a lot of fun to shoot...

I haven't eaten rabbit since my childhood when my dad used to hunt. Used to see them for sale at multiple vendors at the Q-Mart in Quakertown, PA when I lived there though.
Ate squirrel for the first time when I moved to Texas. Mr. D killed four or five of 'em in our tiny backyard and I made a squirrel pie. Was tasty, but I couldn't eat much. Seems I have an aversion to seeing my dinner actually killed and skinned in front of me. I told Mr. D he can kill as many animals as he wants, just skin, gut and cut them up before he brings them home. Sensitive bitch, I am.

Say what you will about the Phillies, but the Phillie Phanatic is the best mascot, hands down.
I don't know who came up with the idea of a cross between Big Bird and an aardvark, but it was truly inspired. Posted by: rickl at October 17, 2015 08:46 PM (sdi6R) 377

wiki on the Phanatic
During the winter after the 1977 season, Dennis Lehman, who thought that the team needed a mascot similar to San Diego's Famous Chicken, created the Phanatic with help from Harrison/Erickson of New York City (now known as Acme Mascots), which had ties with Jim Henson's Muppets, and the team's marketing and promotions department. Instead of a number on the back of his jersey, he wears a star. The character was named for the fanatical fans of the team. Posted by: ThunderB at October 17, 2015 08:50 PM (zOTsN) 382
341 - Double set triggers. Pull the first one and it sets the second to a very, very light trigger pull.

Didnt someone on the opposing team punch the Phanatic once? Posted by: ThunderB at October 17, 2015 08:47 PM (zOTsN) Could be, but I don't remember that. I do remember that once the Phanatic got hit in the chest by a foul ball. Problem was, that was right at head level of the guy in the suit, and it knocked him out.

There were at least three (I think separate) cases
in Weld County CO this summer. The nearest county to the west, Larimer (where my hometown is), is where a high schooler died of plague this spring. Posted by: Polliwog the 'Ette at October 17, 2015 08:44 PM Hmm. It is possible to catch without ingesting. Tick transmission and such. But if you wear gloves when you're cleaning the wild rabbits and cook them right, there's not much chance of contracting it.

The FBI white paper on 9mm does have a caveat, which gets ignored a lot, and that is it's as good as .40 with the right rounds. But it's not a blanket statement.
Now, for civilian carry, I think 9mm is probably the best, followed by .45. But .40's still a really good round if you can handle it, and most any hollow point is going to perform well out of a pistol chambered in it.

Like ANY of you have physical jobs.
No, I spent all week at my desk, an' now I wanna spend my time off on the chair in front of the boob tube. Pure projection, as though you had a clue. I could give you 10,000 guesses, and you would still be wrong. If I gave you a list of jobs that I have done and still do, you would simply accuse me of lying, because you are an incapable, soft, fat, boob without hope.

t's been 10 years since his team won the World Series and, with the Chicago Cubs in contention for the first time during his administration, President Barack Obama is doing the right thing: He's setting aside his own White Sox fandom and aligning with a club that hasn't won a championship in 107 years.

"With the Sox out, I'll be rooting for the Cubs to win the Series." Posted by: ThunderB at October 17, 2015 09:47 PM (zOTsN) 548

'Small grips' does not have to equal 'tiny frame.' Also, I don't like snubbies. I think a pistol ought to have 4 inches of barrel, anyway. It does a lot to counter-act that snap. With a longer barrel and porting, the straight honest recoil of a .44 mag is not as hard to deal with as the wrist-torquing of a shortie .357.

Back in the day, before the HR Mafia/Credential Nazis descended on Capitalism, I got a job on my merits.
I know, right, like anyone in business these days has a clue about merits. They've all been academicised, therefore, no fookin' sense at all. Bait a trot-line? Wut? Shoot a rifle and hit a man-sized target at 200 yards? That's illegal where you are. Nonetheless, there I was, and a steady paycheck, blue sky beyond. I bought an enduro, thinking to spend the rent I saved on a hard piece. I really got into it, rode it out into the desert to where I could shoot my rilfle at unknown ranges (before lasers, going all mil-dot), with a backpack of provisions, and a membership at a place I could swim and shave before work. Gas wasn't that high, and with 2 wheels I did not use so much. Ammo was the big cost. I found a cave, way high above where the motorized traffic went. I actually was able to predict it from the map, but don't count on doing that yourself. Dry, airy, and protected from the worst winds, I used it without molestation, hiding my moto below, until one night.... She came in snarling, having my scent as she did from the urine patch outside, and, I suppose, my groins, hair, and pits. At hat altitude, I expected about a 20-degree F. night that night, so I suppose she did not want to shiver in a tree. It took a while, but we gained each others trust. Unlike a typical male of her species, I suppose, I did feed her, almost as much as she fed me, with my rifle and it's efficiency. Could I call it gratitude? You be the judge. We did have consensual relations, and she was fine, but Nature never let us marry, as it was contrary. But, we never killed eah other, we loved each other, and we stayed with each other until she moved on. I respected her brood the next spring, but it was not mine. We remained friendly neighbors until a poacher got her. I got him. My African rifle at 50 yards after 2 nights stalking. The 400 grain round blew out his abdomen. Sadly, he did not live long, but he saw my face, and knew the reason. Fuckin' poachers. It ain't right. Posted by: Naif in the Delaware Valley at October 17, 2015 09:57 PM (9Py5z) 590

I think it was 09 or something when the Red Sox had a losing record and some of the sports media jock sniffers ratted out some of the players for shenanigans in the clubhouse while their team was struggling on the field. Playing cards, eating chicken, and drinking beer. Giving each other haircuts, too, I think. Posted by: Soothsayer, with arms akimbo at October 17, 2015 10:00 PM (MzrNg) 602

AOP - I've never shot one, but with the barrel at the bottom of the cylinder rather than the conventional top, muzzle rise would be minimized and recoil would be more in line with the arm. I would think that the result is less "felt" recoil.

593 A huge, and I mean humungous, deal was made about players who weren't even playing in the games hanging out and passing time.
What was that about? I've never heard of that 'scandal' before. Posted by: andycanuck at October 17, 2015 09:57 PM (m1pMI) --I think the main reason it was blown out of proportion was that the "scandal" was parallel with Boston's atrocious 11-game lead collapse to miss the playoffs that year.

Josh Beckett, the Red Sox's ace pitcher, was purported to be the leader of the scandal. Beckett was having a lousy year, people said he was out of shape. Beckett was traded to the Dodgers I think. Posted by: Soothsayer, with arms akimbo at October 17, 2015 10:03 PM (MzrNg) 613

Oh yeah, that's right. The Red Sox were doing great and then shit the bed near the end of the season. These things happen all the time to other teams.

@557 I haven't fired a Rhino (sounds like Trump, right?). A few years back I had a very pleasant session with a Mateba, which uses the same bottom-chamber arrangement (and another cute trick). It was great, even with .357 heavy hand-loads. But it wasn't a snubnose. It had a four-inch barrel.
It would seem as if a 2-inch barrel would be much less of a drawback with that firing system, but I can't say so from experience. Ballistics fans have assured me that two inches is "enough" rifled barrel to impart proper spin and direction even at the gentlemanly range of 25 yards, contrary as the notion may seem. So, "in theory" if any snubnose would be good, that would be the one. Posted by: Stringer Davis at October 17, 2015 10:07 PM (xq1UY) 625

Ortiz's big hits. Schilling's ankle. Then a pretty easy, anticlimactic sweep of the Cards. Posted by: Clark, the Cubs mascot, what knows the Mets got this at October 17, 2015 10:08 PM (lqmAz) 629

The LCR physical dimensions lower the bore axis, a little bit as well. The shooting difference with a 642 with the same loads is noticeable. I would expect a Rhino to have a pleasant kick and pleasing hand.
I would like to shoot the LCR in .327 for comparison. Posted by: Jean at October 17, 2015 10:14 PM (ztOda) 638

If I remember correctly, it is 2.54 cm per inch. Divide 2.54 by 8 carry the 2 and multiply by your birthdate. Wallah 3.175 mm.
Posted by: Ronster at October 17, 2015 07:13 PM (0qASP) And that is exact. One inch = 2.54 cm = 25.4 mm. No more, no less. By definition. Definitely not climbing on the the metric vs Imperial bandwagon, on either side, simply noting that for lengths, the conversion is not in any way hard to do. And, being a hands-on wrench-twisting kind of guy, take this to the bank: 8 mm = 5/16" close enough that wrenches either way will fit 9 mm = 3/8" pretty close, most cases 10 mm has no close fit in inch standard 11 mm = 7/16" close in most cases, but it would be better to use the designated wrench 12 mm no close fit in inch standard, no way, no how 13 mm = 1/2" wrenches are all but mutually interchangeable 14 mm = 9/16" as above 15 mm no good inch equivalent 16 mm ditto 17 mm same as 11/16" wrench; so close it doesn't matter 18 mm no inch equivalent, and GM lurves them some 18 mm, so if you own a GM with metric fasteners, buy an 18 mm socket, because "standard" metric sets don't include it. 19 mm = so close to 3/4" it doesn't matter End of lesson.
