I was wondering, were you saying the quadrasteer doesn't work, or the whole vehicle doesn't work. :)
Doesnt matter, ads been pulled. Meanwhile theres a jackass on long island asking more money, for an older truck with higher mileage.. with the stipulation "no lowballers" :roll: i guess offering kbb book value, around 2/3rds of what hes asking is considered "lowballing". :roll:

I've seen winchester 555 and dynapoint offered as cheap as 5 cents a round, but i dont know how good the 555 is, and the new dynapoints have a dubious reputation at best. The same etailer has automatch and a bunch of other federal offerings, many with free shipping, for .06 cents a round.

For .06 cents a round, I'll take as much as they have! Alas, I suspect a typo and it's US$0.06

But, but, what about the Minimags?

Looking around a little, which I haven't in months, (is gunbot still the place to comparison price shop?) $.08/per for Minimags looks like a *great* price.

It's that stupid 'Choot Em' packaging, 300 rds for something like 25 bucks.

I've been doing some historical reading, which has led me to various 'fill in the background' research tangents, which have led to some odd internet random walks....

I have a hard time finding any really good radial engines that don't trace their roots back to Wright Aeronautical. Either by getting their start by licensing a Wright design, or by licensing a design from a competitor that got *its* start when Wright's President left and took a bunch of engineers with him.

The Germans, Russians and Japanese all started that way. It's weird.

(Or Roy Fedden. I always tend to forget about British radials.)

I ran across a great demonstration of radial engines and how they work on YouTube a while back. This is part one, a guy built a very impressive wooden model:

https://youtu.be/qjnQKXNPsk4

Part two should be visible on the right from that page. The guy covers the workings in great detail. Before I watched the vids, I had no idea all (single row) radial engines have odd numbered cylinders.

Check out the Gnome engines.

That suggestion has helped kill my entire morning. :)

My main area of historical interest is WW2, so I mostly overlooked them.

I knew vaguely that Gnome and Rhone made rotaries in WW1, merged at some point and later made radials.

Seems Gnome was a pioneer in 2 row radials - the earliest efforts failed but later after the merger Gnome-Rhone was among the first (or the first?) to build successful ones.

The Gnome-Rhone radials got their start from licensed Bristol (Roy Fedden again) designs, though in their own right in the early 30s or so they were among the industry leaders. By the time of WW2 they had fallen behind a bit, which is how I overlooked them.

Apparently the occupation ruined them. They were forbidden from working on/developing their own designs, and spent the war building old designs and BMWs under license. Oh and being horribly bombed. Interesting - I didn't know that what was left of the company was nationalized after the war and formed SNECMA.

I did know that SNECMAs famous product the Atar line of jet engines was developed by German engineers - former BMW in fact - recruited and imported for the task. Which kind of fits.

Gnome the company and Rhone the company competed as makers of rotary engines before they merged in about 1915 iirc. They built their own Delta and Le Rhone rotaries which were one of the most popular rotary engines used in ww1...even the Germans cloned them... but their designs started to fall short after ww1. That's when they licensed Bristol tech.
Gnome realized their Bristol licenses wouldn't keep them afloat so they developed the K-series, N-series and R-series. They were great motors but they didn't have the research capability of the British and Germans and then the Nazi occupation doomed them.
It's a great story of early aviation pioneering.
