NWI INGO General Post - Part 12

[actaeon277]

I read online somewhere where the piston comes apart inside seizing it in place, but I even tried starting fluid with no luck.

Well, starting fluid goes in the air intake, and changes the gas/air mixture.
Sea foam goes in the gas, and is supposed to dissolve gunked up gas. It's been a while, but I think you're supposed to put it in the tank, cycle some into the fuel system by pulling the start chain (slow. don't start, just work new fuel into the lines) then let it sit for so long.

what did you guys do to my ssssssnnnnoooowwww!!!!

I have it hostage in Rochester. 8 -14 inches due by mid morning tomorrow. How much money u got?
On another note, do you want any more honey?

 

[Ericpwp]

Note to self, don't rent a vette on my NC trip.

NWI is high on gun prices compared to other shops around the state. I remember when Blythes used to be reasonable. I imagine they had to pay for the remodeling they did and the range makeover and all the people they currently employ.

I miss Fetla's so badly.

Fetla's and Bert are just a fading memory. The remolded place is now Foundation Building Materials, a building supply company.

OMG Bert! I had so many guns on layway over the years. Probably spent more in gas making payments than I did on the guns. That was a one of a kind place. Where else could you buy a cast iron fry pan, bullets, baby food, and a camp stove, all in the same isle?

 

[gunbunnies]

You guys are bringing back memories for sure...

 

[KLB]

Well, "9 you're fine, 10 you're mine" is going out the door if you travel.
Debunking the 10 mph speed buffer: Why one state could lead to more tickets nationwide | WGN-TV

That is nothing really new. I know of more than one person that has been given tickets for as little as 3MPH over the limit.

The first I remember was in Valpo in the early 90s.

Definitely one of a kind store. Did you ever get to see all the stuff in the basement of Liverpool Hardware back in the day when they were open?

I did not. I'm a Hammond boy

Was it much the same?

From what I remember, a lot of old stuff like a museum and an old jail cell. Bet GOW could remember as this is his neighborhood. Lots of odd stuff in there for sale.

 

[actaeon277]

I remember Fetlas.
And I remember the Army Navy Surplus store when it was on State St. and still a real surplus store.

Down Town! Oh yeah! It truly was a surplus store. I used to love going into that place. It had an old canvas smell.

Probably because of the old canvas, and mold.

Lol, for sure. It seems that everything old and military has that smell.

 

[trucker777]

Yep. We need another store around here that rivals Fetlas, has good prices on guns/ammo, (especially odd and curio guns) +and has that old moldy canvas smell. A place where I can buy a samurai sword, a can of baked beans and a Chinese thumb trap...lol that would be my store.

 

[bulletsmith]

Is there any such thing as military surplus any more?

Not really.
People want a better return on their dollar than you can get with the low profit margin.

Had myself a 34/30 in Cedar lake about 12 years ago.

Heart-attack snow at 4pm? 'Tis a cruel joke.

Sportsman's Guide has real military surplus. I got some Swiss Army pajamas for $6 a set. I've also bought milsurp long underwear from them, and I think some German camo caps with brims that I use for spare shooting/mowing caps.
