    Question for Firearms Experts

    Idontknow That was my first question to the orig poster...why? The shorter chamber is dead on, lenghten it looses some ability to lay a smack down on some paper or varmitts. I would stick with the .223 and go with the RRA if the need is there.

    Question for Firearms Experts

    Are you wanting to shoot 5.56 in your .223? Wylde chamber is a little shorter than the NATO chamber. (I am aware of at least 5 different chamber lengths for the .223/5.56, the NATO chamber being the longest). As far as accuracy goes, it probably won't have a great effect, particularly under...

    Good Sign

    I think I have this figured out.... The folks that say "We are not signning on any Sprinters or Cargo Vans" fail to tell the recruiters....That's why on Friday I hear this, then on Monday there is a parking lot full of Sprinters....

    Good Sign

    I've heard that in the past as well. Then two weeks later I arrive at home base there on a Monday- many Sprinters and a few cargo vans getting QC installed. Half income from last year tells me things are not that great anymore.... "wrong place at wrong time" can't be for this long of a period...

    Tipping

    Yes I tip for showers. Not every time, but I do tip. They have to put up with a lot. I tip for meals, every time. I start with my min tip of 1.00, depending on service it goes up never down. I saw a man and woman sitting with another driver, drinking coffee. The one driver stood up to leave and...

    How about a Raise?

    Labor is the highest cost for any company. Fringe rate or % could be around 22% or more. What that would mean, after paying workers comp, medical, vacation, and sick pay, etc for one employee. 1 full time employee - lets just say 10.00 per hour 2080 hours in a year = 20,800 dollars Fringe...

    How about a Raise?

    Rates from those 'other' makes you wonder. While in Dallas, one driver saide he got a load paying 1.68 a mile with low D/H.(Sprinter), But, our rates are designed to "keep your wheels moving". I don't think E1 will ever pay us 1.68 a mile however, anything will help

    Belt

    If you remeber, it was not a wobble, it was a slight side to side, like it was getting loose the tighting up on the belt's travel, the tech said it was normal. I can't beleive that. Like I said, all Pulleys and Tensioner have been replaced twice this year.
