   I guess it really depends on the type of shooting you do. If you are shooting long range rifle then flat would be preferable. Shooting down hill into a bottom or shooting flat +/- with a hill in the background is nice because it offers a natural backstop. For most folks shooting needs the grade doesn't make to much difference so long as there is a safe backstop or hill to catch the bullets somewhere between the shooter and the closest thing that you don't want your bullet to reach.

Sounds like someone decided they wanted a two tone and put stainless/nickel slide on sometime after '91 to me.

   Well it sounds like you will definitely come out on top by using whomever the home warranty folks send your way.

So the motor isn't even trying to agitate? Did you let it try to cycle to be sure that it is at the point that it would normally agitate? I know those are dumb questions but they come from my own dumb experiences :) . If it is a matter of something electrical I would definitely let the home warranty cover it because you may go buy an electrical part and install it only to fry it because the original cause was still there.

Well if there is in fact a belt in there and the "tub" gets off balance that is what it sounds and smells like. I do find the water on the floor odd though. I guess it could have shaken around and worked something loose or cracked a fitting though. I'd clean up the water, unload the clothes from the machine and try running it empty. Ours did the same thing (as far as the noise) about 2 weeks ago and I just unloaded everything and ran it empty and then loaded it up with a lighter load and all was well. It was REALLY loud and I thought for sure i'd be buying a new washer the next day but she's still running strong. The water in the floor is whats throwing me off. The drain line, is a lot of time, just a hose with a 180 degree bend in the end of it that is just hooked over into a drain hole typically in the same area that the hot and cold water lines are attached to the spigots so i'd check and make sure that the shaking didn't bounce that out of the drain causing water to be dumped on the floor. 

 Like Dolomite mentioned, If you have most any store bought rifle you will be wasting the ammo. If you don't have a barrel with a fast enough twist rate (most do NOT) the bullet will tumble almost immediately. A 15 twist is the minimum twist rate the will stabilize these puppies so if it were me i'd find someone with a gun set up for them and swap them for some regular 40gr or less ammo. This is of course, just my opinion.

It's odd that you have a loud noise AND a burnt electrical smell. Usually an electrical problem won't be load and usually a mechanical problem won't have a burnt electrical smell, you sir have the unicorn of washing machine issues. Could the burnt smell possibly be a belt (not sure if washers even have a belt anymore)? If it's in fact burnt electrics, leaking water and a loud mechanical noise i'd say you're looking at buying multiple parts and would easily get over the $75 deductible of your home warranty.

Nice save!! I am fortunate that I load my own and also get together with a friend quite often to load at his place or mine so it just looks like I'm bringing unused components back in rather than new stuff. Guns are of no use without ammo huh.

I see.

Yes indeed. I had never even considered them for a trigger and was really leaning tot wards a Giessele but I have no regrets using Black Rain now.

I sure did. There is an issue with over tightening them though. If you go much further than the point that they first touch it will cause problems. Read my last post and you'll see what I figured out and how BRO handled it. Great folks! Seems like a very small company.

 UPDATE: I called BRO and their tech guy was more than eager to help. He asked a few questions and established that i'd done everything correctly and said to email him with a mailing address and he would send a new one out right away with a prepaid postage for return. Since I wasn't at home I decided to put the group back in the rifle so that I wouldn't risk losing something and that's when I noticed what the problem was. There was a small chunk of foreign (I think) material stuck in the disconnector spring causing the disconnector to engage the hammer ever so slightly. I pulled the piece out of the spring and installed the trigger and everything was perfect. I emailed Gregg at BRO today to let him know what I figured out and he replied withing minutes to tell me that he was glad that I figured that out so that I would have a decent trigger to work with until the new one arrived because he was still going to send it. I told him that he didn't have to do that since it was working now but he wanted me to have the best they offer and didn't want to risk that piece I found having broken off of something within the trigger. Black Rain Ornance is definitely being placed on my "folks to do business with" list because their service was exceptional!

What am I missing? Looks to be the exact same ammo in both links provided by the OP but different prices. I know it's going to be something obvious but I can't find it.

 I've never purchased loaded ammo from them but have bought projectiles from Freedom Munitions a time or two and see them run specials on 300aac ammo from time to time.    Here's another, http://www.southwestammunition.com/category_s/147.htm

   You wouldn't be mooching at all and if I minded then I wouldn't have offered. I can't do much to alleviate the mandatory OT though unless you want me to call up there and tell them that I witnessed you committing some sort of heinous act ;) 

   They make excellent products! I have no question about that. I have had my trigger options for this rifle narrowed down to the Giessele SD3G or the CMC triggers with the Hiperfire not completely ruled out but is in 3rd place due to the extra moving parts involved. I had not even considered a BRO trigger not because I doubted the quality but because I just hadn't thought of them so when I saw them in the case I wanted to check them out. I asked if they had one of their rifles with one installed and the guy led me straight to one on the rack. It felt just a hair heavier than what I really wanted but it was really close. It certainly didn't have this "catch/really rough spot" in it.I looked over the contact points and there seems to be a bit of a bad spot on the hammer side which could explain the "catch" but i'm not sure why it feels so much heavier. I could play with the springs to correct the pull rate but the catch isn't anything I'm going to do anything about. Hopefully it will just be a case of a bad fir control group and they just replace it.

 Yesterday my friend, brother in law and I went on a drive through Puducah, Owensboro and back through Clarksville stopping at gun shops and surplus shops. While at Whittaker Guns in Owensboro my buddy saw me have the guy behind the counter pull out a BRO drop-in trigger for be to molest. When we left an got about a mile down the road he reached into his bag from the shop and pulled out the trigger that I was looking at, tossed it into my lap and said "Merry Christmas"! I know, great friends! I installed it today and it doesn't feel right. They had a couple BRO rifles in the store and I dry fired that exact (supposedly) trigger dozens of times so i'm certain what i'm supposed to have and this isn't it. There is a catch to when you start to pull the slack up and once through that it has a very crisp break but it feels to be at least 3+ pounds heavier than the one at the shop which is supposed to be 4lbs   I'm just curious if anyone else has had the same issue? I'm going to cal BRO tomorrow but always like to get the opinion of folks here that may have had experienced the same problem.

 My wife and I talk about this subject often. We have no cable but we have got an antenna for local programming and Netflix. We get into watching certain shows from the first episode through until we reach the end of the the series or all that Netflix has available. We have started watching several series that started out really good but then the deeper we'd get into them the worse they'd get. We've also noticed that when shows start out under performing or start dropping in ratings after a season or two the "Hollywood fall back plan" is to trash it up to try and capture the viewers that don't care about program quality as much as they do about trash. We watch a few things that we sorta "ignore" certain aspects of because the story line is captivating to us but we try to not support things that pass a certain point.

   Well I hope they work out for you but if you get to the point of disposal you can send them to me and I will see that they are disposed of properly ;)

 Sounds like something I would do. Good luck getting it figured out.

I guess the point is, you have a say so and can say no or even add some colorful vernacular as you see fit. I can be irritating when you have to deal with to many of the low ballers though.

Man it looks even better on the computer screen than it did in pics you sent to my phone yesterday. It should definitely blend well.

I'm on my 5th case  (5k each) of Wolf/Tula primers of which some were small pistol and some were small rifle but only one of them so far has failed due to a primer not detonating. I like those odds but it doesn't sound like you have had the same luck. Personally, I would go ahead and load them and pay mighty close attention to my powder charge.

Incredible! Good price on the "handgun" as well.
