    The original Winglet like you showed above. Haven't seen one with the Scimitar Winglets.

    The 318 and 319 are climbers. Newer 320's do pretty well. I worked on the launch V2500 A320's at US Airways which were originally America West birds. 620-637. They had the low power V2500's. Which weren't really low power at all, 25,500 lb. thrust. They did take weight hits coming out of...

    I never worked on a 320 without sharklets. Didn't know they didn't have them to start with. I have seen the APB winglets (like 737) on the Airbus A320 family. I thought that was what you meant. I never worked on those. The 'gates' (fences?) may have been what was referred to when speaking...

    I meant the sharklets not recovering energy. The winglets do.

    Winglets? They save fuel. On normally blocked flights. When you get into catch up mode on daily flying they don't save fuel. Flying faster than designed means they're not going to save fuel. I never worked on this type of winglet. I worked on 1900D's, A320' and B737-600/700/800/900's that...

    They fly one of these from Houghton to Isle Royale all summer long here. This past year they brought another one on. The second one was painted like yours. It left late summer, while the regular one stayed here through September. The regular one goes down to FLA. and works down there through...

    Taiwan Winchester M70

    I thought I missed this thread then I see I posted some likes on it, so I didn't miss it. Anyhow, I would try to narrow down the date of manufacture as close as you can. Then put that up with what happened in China/Taiwan during that time. The Nationalists fought the Communists from...

    That's a nice start! 😁

    That’s how you are supposed to gain accuracy with heavies in a given caliber. I hear way to many newer reloaders saying just add more of the powder you are using. Slow that powder way down, work up and stay under max pressure.

    Interesting Sniper video.

    I can just say with your late lame response to this thread, if anyone is fake, it's you. What the reaper did was pretty well documented. You come on here like 'armchair johnny' and proceed to tell us how it really is. IMO, you're nothing but a plant on here. A pathological revisionist...

    Baddest military action - based target/sniper rifle

    I could say tack driver from a No. 4 "T". Can't say that about any No. 1 I've shot.

    Fieldcraft This is how you do range math Check it out

    When you got a whole nation that's built on miles, yards and feet, (over the course of a couple hundred years) the changeover is a little more difficult than just going to a system no one has a clue about. It may be based on tens, but that don't mean the tens are relative to what we know.

    Agreed, much easier to go from yards to meters. Using the 1.1 formula is the easiest to do in your head.

    M40A1 or M40A3 or M40A5

    Yeah, I'd take it. But, not for that price. Added: If this is an FN, why does the side of the action say "Remington"?

    Help Me, I want this…

    Do it! Then they can call you the 'New Rifleman' Get a cowboy hat with some new boots with riding heels and you'd be set! 😁 😁

    Parker Hale M82 Clone

    Not really. For every rifle, there needs to be ammunition. Good ammo is key to good shooting. You've probably heard the phrase, "It ain't the arrow, it's the Indian." Truthfully, I've yet to see any really good Indians shoot crooked arrows straight. Arrows mismatched to the bow is the same...
