Just need something with a bigger caliber. It also has a lot of presence when you point an AR with a laser and flashlight at someone. My wife needs something except her cell phone to protect herself. She couldnt use a shotgun or pistol in a self defense situation. Shes good with ARs.

She's good with a AR but not a shotgun? fill it with slugs and 6Ball. kinda like a AR cept ya gotta rack it every time.
 
Even on the mossberg 500 she doesnt like how it feels. Its not about recoil. Even though she does like the recoil on the AR. Shes still a newb with firearms. When she racks the shell on the 500, she looks down at the shotgun to watch the pump. Give her 30 .223, shes good to go.
 
my mossberg is great. love it. got a 500 also and wouldnt trade it for the world. its set up for personal/home defence. getting iron sights on it soon but its great.
 
Try 48, then get back with me.

The last few times when I'd decide to stay up for 24, I would get to 20 and just conk out.

Edit: Forgot to mention I got the brackets, Sammy.
 
I used to work 24 hours then get 24 off for several months before I got out of th army. I would often stay up for 40 hours before going to sleep before my next 24 hour shift. That couldn't have been good for my health.
 
My god is this one bolt sucks. I took the seat belt buckles off pretty easily (took a T55(roughly the size and shape of Sam's penor)) and started to work on the back rest part. I had to stop by autozone a couple times to figure out it was a T50 size and picked up some PB blaster(2 for $8, score!)

Well, they didn't want to budge. I PB'd them and waited for a bit. The middle one(of 3) almost just came out on its own, 1 down. Worked on the passenger side bolt for a bit and it still didn't want to move, PB'd it again and started on the driver side bolt. Came out with some effort, 2 down. Go back to the last one and it will not budge. I PB'd it over and over, as well as hitting it as the can suggests, and it just doesn't want to move. Also, I think I stripped it enough where I can't get torque I need on it.

I'll check on it tomorrow and see if its any better. What do you guys suggest if it can't get it out tomorrow? I would take a propane torch to it but fire and cotton don't like each other.
 
I got nude pics all over the web lol.

Kerry try one size bigger torx... see if that helps.. if not put it on a drill adapter and get some power behind it.

I'm confused as to which bolt you are working on. There are some reverse thread bolts thrown in there...
 
I got it. I had to put almost all my weight into it but what a sigh of relief I had after it started to move. Nearly all the interior is in and I'll post pics in a bit.

Ian, it was one of the bolts holding the back seat in, not the part you sit on but the part you rest your back on.

PICS!

This guy didn't want to leave:

And to Sam(or anyone that might have it lying around), I need the latch and release knobs for the rear seats:

You can see that I am still missing a few pieces of MNB. But I do like the gray 'accents' on the c-pillars. What I really surprised is how the mounting holes never really changed in the later years. Even the side bolsters for the rear have all the holes already there. And there is even a hole for the latch mechanism for the rear seats.

I might have to hold out putting the 40/60 seats in until I know how to mount them and have the latch part.
 
Im 80% sure I have the latches.... but you may want to contact nighthawk again. From what I rememeber those pull thingies were nearly impossible to remove and they were connected to the latches.... so Im not sure if I took them off the parts car or not.

Eh now that I think of it the rear trunk struts were the impossible ones to remove... I need to look in my box o parts to see if I have those assemblies...
 
This is the first time I've heard someone make a negative comment towards the Scuderia...stick around and he comes to his senses. The transmission on this car blows my mind. I cant get enough of it.
