Will he shoot an Over and Under, or Side by Side. He should have a firm pistol grip. -
They are smaller now because the tracking chips are smaller.

Fire hose with plastic inside bottle lasted two Jacks about a month. But then again, these dogs are crack on legs. Radiator hose worked well for a while too. The hardware store should have some lengths of different hoses to try.

People are spending money they don't have on things they don't need. A friend that owns a firearm store, told me that most of his sales have gone onto credit cards. More so in the last few months than ever. Six months ago it was 90% cash, now 90% on credit. Also says that his same customers that came in twice a year, come in once a week now. Hoping to buy any kind of ammo. We have seen the videos and press releases. Ammo manufacturers are making more than ever. What I don't understand is why aren't the stores getting the ammo at least at the volume before the shortage. For instance. My friend may get one or two bricks of .22 a week. Why? His supplier isn't taking any new accounts and is trying to divide up the ammo among the active accounts, ( what they say.) So with that info, the manufacturers or suppliers are holding out. The price from the supplier has not changed. Bricks of .22 are still sub $20to the store. So my theory. Buyers buying anything with nothing. Manufacturers or suppliers are holding the ammo. What is it?

$300-$350 for a nice Norinco. Less than $300 for any other. I wouldn't give more than $200.

These things were probably made by a boat company around PA. They used them in a couple amusement parks. They floated around like a log ride in some parks.

It's a tennis ball tank. Used to be an amusement park ride/game of sorts. SUMMER'S HOTTEST AMUSEMENT PARK ATTRACTION IS TANK TAG DANA KENNEDY , Associated Press AP NEWS ARCHIVE Aug. 12, 1989 3:05 PM ET MILLBURY, MASS. MILLBURY, Mass. (AP) _ Rob Russell eased into the gun turret, adjusting his helmet and closing the hatch over his head. As his buddy, Nels Anderson, positioned their tank, Russell reached for his ammunition - a bucket of racquetballs. As he took aim at another tank, the high school freshman joined hundreds of others in what has become this summer's hottest amusement park attraction - Tank Tag. ''It's addictive,'' said Russell, 14, of Sudbury, as he and Anderson prepared for their sixth ride in the tanks at the Millbury Amusement Center, about 35 miles west of Boston. ''It's a lot more realistic than a computer game,'' said Anderson, 33, a computer programmer from Framingham, ''and you can't get hurt.'' The country's newest war game has sprung up at about 20 amusement parks, including ones in Orlando, Fla., Myrtle Beach, S.C., Wildwood, N.J., and San Diego, and dozens of others are expected to follow suit. Tank Tag's popularity has soared since it surfaced in Allentown, Pa., last summer. It was invented by Robert Plarr, president of Dorney Park and Wildwater Kingdom in Allentown. ''It's like being in World War II without getting hurt,'' said Plarr. ''It's just like the gladiators in Roman times. This is the first time in history you're part of a shooting gallery.'' More than 150 amusement park owners from around the world have scheduled visits to the Allentown facility this month to inspect Tank Tag as a potential attraction for their own parks, according to Plarr. He said a group of South Koreans visited last week to see if they could install Tank Tag and a water war game at some of the former Olympic Games sites in Seoul. Plarr, a former Marine who addresses everyone as ''sir'' or ''ma'am,'' expanded his basic tank game idea to the water games. The tag game uses two to four small-scale, computerized, made-to-order tanks that are mounted on tires instead of treads and powered by hydraulic Honda engines. The tanks, which Plarr says cost from $20,000 to $40,000 each, are designed for two people - one who ''drives'' the tank by pressing a gas-powered pedal on the floor and the other seated in the turret. Each pays $4.50 a ride. The game includes 10 simulated guns placed along the perimeter of the Tank Tag area. Participants who choose not to ride on the tanks can stay behind the protective netting and fire balls, paid for by the bucket, at the tanks. The balls shot from a tank turret or from one of the outside guns can go at 60 mph. ''I think it's kind of cute,'' said Vicki Suhl, 38, who watched her son, Josh, 9, fire at the tanks from the perimeter. ''It's a bigger version of Nintendo.'' The only restriction on participants is height - you must be at least 4 1/2 feet tall to crawl inside a tank. In Allentown, more than 50 percent of the participants are women and children, said Plarr. Plarr avoids comment on the paramilitary aspects of Tank Tag. He prefers to view the game as the heir to the carnival shooting gallery of the past and as testament to a new demand for participatory games. ''People want to touch, feel, taste. They don't want to be put in a car. They want to drive themselves,'' said Plarr. ''This is a do-it-yourself ride.'' © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

I'll say to those who gouge, karma is a &itch. -
+1 on comp check. But, do a wet and dry one. Pull fuse on fuel pump. Do dry check. Add small amount of oil on wet check. Dry check low can be rings or valves. Wet check can be rings/pistons/head gasket. (Oil can't raise comp on bent valve.) oil will raise compression if the rings are worn but not cracked. A bad valve, comp won't be raise in the wet test. Both will narrow what cylinder it is. Cheers
