Peters-Stahl in Germany makes polygonal rifled 1911 barrels
but read something couple of weeks ago, that they don't like lead bullets, something about lead fouling, causing overpressure and kabooms.

Well I found out what happens when you have a dirty AR. (note I am not the one who didn't clean it properly the last time)
Not cool when a round jams up damn near all the way in and the bolt lock up. Won't go into full close nor will it return to eject the cartridge. Wonderful time doing a partial takedown with a live round in it.

I think im gonna bring a dead gecko with me to talk to the adjuster. Much more practical than bringing a dead caveman.

Or a dead adjuster might work too.

We put my daughter in the back of Lanna when she was 16 or so, she didn't make it very far.

The seats in the w220 s600 are roomy and the rears recline. Awesome features considering the age...

You do realize that a v12 merc that is several years old sounds like a dumb idea right.....

I've done a lot if research....seems they're fairly durable, biggest problem is plugs and coil packs. Im going in expecting to have to replace those right off the bat.
