An Interview with our Newest Mod-

[socalman]

Hello Bryan,

I'd like to thank you for taking this time to sit and chat with us.

At what age did you know you were Mod material?

Hello Bryan,

I'd like to thank you for taking this time to sit and chat with us.

At what age did you know you were Mod material?

I knew I was destined for C4 Mod greatness somwhere around my 1st birthday.

Oh, I didn't realize we were going that far back.

Were you breast fed?

[C4fan]

:above: Make sure to get the whole story, not the "Fox News" version.

[Frizlefrak]

Bryan.....I've read that your favorite color is dark green. Do you feel that this affinity for green was a deciding factor in your career choice as a forum mod? Did green make you resolute in pursuing your career path, or were there other mitigating factors?

[socalman]

:above: Make sure to get the whole story, not the "Fox News" version.

Oh, we will.

[Taurus]

Mr. Moderator, can you clear up a couple things for me.

First, just how many 40th Anniversary cars came in black?

Second, what exactly is a "Hokie" and why is it so popular?

Thanks for spending some of your valuable time helping to sort these issues out.

Glad you're back. Now, let's get to some serious specifics about your reign here as King, er-uh, Moderator.

What do you plan to do to those members that insist on getting Hyrdocarbon installed in their car?

and while I have your attention, do you have a Key or Combo lock for use on locking threads?

[Frizlefrak]

Dear Mr. Moderator.

It has come to our attention that certain members are still not flying the flag of Texberta. This is quite disturbing on a number of fronts. First, our founding fathers went to great lengths to ensure ample supplies of steak, beer, hooters, whisky, guns, more hooters, and fast cars, and yet certain folks don't seem to appreciate these liberties that have been bequeathed. Second, we have gone to great lengths to eradicate liberalism, entitlements, and Priuses. Third, a cat and dog scuffle is practically a given on any evening, so entertainment is abundant. There are a plethora of other reasons why our new Republic should be granted its due respect.

I therefore respectfully request that all freedom loving members commence flying the proud colors of Texberta. Thank you for your consideration.

What are your overall goals as a Mod?

Do you plan to add a 'thumbs up' emoticon and use that exclusively in the future as your standard .02c when repsonding to threads?

Most here can't spell liberalism much less understand what it is. Cali is really the land of the silent (igorant) majority with a minority of ass-wipes (non lubricated) running this shiz hole.

Gud enuff?

[socalman]

Imagine if Dan asked for this:rofl:
http://i269.photobucket.com/albums/jj76/Jadvad/index-er5.jpg

Guess we got sick of Movie Stars (Reagan and most recently Conan the Barbarian) so we, as a state, felt we needed a re-run of a former Governor that failed the first time and now needs a fulltime Geritol IV drip so he can stay awake long enough to screw us in taxes (coming to a theatre near you).

Friz, there are only a few places an automatic can leak from. The pan, if you're lucky. The rear seal, the shift lever seal which can be a challenge. The cooling lines and last but not least, the front seal. If it is this, then don't tell Sweets, cause you're in for a lot of work.

This will be the opening chapter in your memoires, followed by a paperback, screenplay and then 'The Big Screen!'

Pete will be in charge of the computer graphics. Aliens and Hokieisms are a must.

Jon will be the music composer. John Denver songs highly recommended.

The Cat will do special effects (when snow is needed), along with keeping all the cold cuts cold for the Kraft services

The Dog will play Bobby D. like in 'Days of Thunder', keeping your engine running and slapping some sense into you on a daily basis.

I will build the sets and round up all the 'groupies' for the staff.

Anyone else wanna help?

[socalman]

When you get something like that, you wonder if it was carried by some Marine in the Pacific and what battles it was involved in. Semper Fi, Pete :patriot:

NICE!!! Who is the manufacturer? Springfield or Rock Island (RIA), on the receiver ring? I started off in Highpower Competition with one of those-still have it...

That is why I couldn't pass it up. It is a 1906 manufacture date with a 1942 re-barrel so I would guess about a 99% chance that it saw combat in BOTH World Wars.

I would give anything to know it's history.

I also have a line on a S&W .38 Navy pilot's revolver (with the U.S. Navy stamps) from the same guy's collection that I keep trying to resist buying.

Now that I am thinking about it... he has about a dozen that I want including a 1912 manufacture "U.S. Army" stamped m1911, a 1927 "U.S. Army" 1911a1 and a few Garands.

It is a Springfield. It is a 264,XXX serial which puts it square in the range of the receivers with possible hardening issues but after doing a LOT of research I'm not too worried about firing it as long as I use slow burn 150gr. rounds and not try to hot load it with something modern. The serial also puts it as one of the first few thousand designed for the .30-06 from the original .30-03. and one of the first modified for the m1905 bayonet.

You've done your homework! That "under 800,000" serial # was my next question. I found a copy of General Julian Hatcher's Notebook before I bought my 1903 and learned all about that issue. I agree with your 150 gr, slow powder idea. You should be OK with that. Mine is a Rock Island Arsenal (1917) #241XXX but they had a nickel-iron receiver without the hardening issues the early Springfields had. Looks like you have a fine piece and a great investment as well!:cheers:

I've done a lot of looking on the early serial issue and was a little skeptical about shooting it but I have come to a few conclusions.

-There were a total of 33 failed Springfield recievers manufactured between 1903-1917 (5 in 1906)

-I have looked a LOT and the only recently reported failure I could find was actually a 1,XXX,XXX serial Springfield

-Of the ones actually reported to fail in the field, most failed relatively early in their life, and all of the reported failures occured with the harder, more brittle early manufacture (pre 1927) brass.

-Faulty ammo could have easily been the cause of some (if not most) of the actual issues (from Hatcher's research)

-Most of the failed recievers were made in the 1903-1905 era and had seen much higher pressures at some point in their life firing the .30-03 round which was a 220gr. and MUCH hotter than the .30-06 from 1906 on.

-The failure rate of the RIA was almost double the Springfield.

-1st Marines used many low serial Springfields (about 7,000 of them) throughout the duration of WWII without a single reported reciever failure... which goes to the theory of if they were going to fail they did it early. There is no doubt that those 7,000 saw some serious use.

Here are some quotes from various researchers that I found to be enlightening on the subject:

Between 1917 and 1929 three soldiers lost an eye to receiver failure, and six more had unspecified injuries consider serious. An additional 34 soldiers received minor injuries from receiver failures.

Four of the reported Springfield receiver failures were due to accidentally firing an 8 mm Mauser round in the Springfield rifle. (Hatcher)

That one gets a :slap:


I know that's a lot to read but I am bored and I find this stuff to be incredibly interesting. :cheers:

Mr. Moderator, one more question. WTH is a Garand and where does it go on a C4?

It is a .30-06 rifle... and it gets mounted on the roof with a remote trigger on the steering wheel.

You can also use it by installing the idiot hanging out the window mod.

Wait, from what I read at CF, there's a tape for every mod or repair on a C4:leaving:

Do not forget the dropping license plate mod, which only requires an M-1 Garand, a little support, Duct Tape, and a string attached to the trigger and the gear shift, with a little play of course. Good for all tailgaters.

Did you originally call it 100 MPH tape? :leaving:

Just got my latest Mid-American Corvette catalog for the C5, that must only be a C4 mod, can't find one for the C5:question:

I can't put out the $$ for the 1912 manufactured one but I am about 99% sure that I am going to go after either the US Navy .38 or the Army 1911a1. I like the 1911a1 better as a gun but I am a Navy guy so the .38 wins in that category.

:iagree: He is a great person who goes out of his way to help anyone that has been in a "Critical Incident" I also enjoy his books. I am reading, "On Combat", now.

I was lucky enough to have Bruce Siddle, "Sharpening the Warriors Edge" speak, followed by Lt. Col. Grossman. Bruce said he would never speak after Dave again because he was so dynamic. :rofl:
