Good Morning & God Bless Shane et al.

 

Old school RIGHT right there.

 

Low standards are easy to achieve!

 

I've always excelled at low standards

 

@FishnTx one at the house yesterday and the other one just flew over work.

 

Same...

 

Its a winchester model 100 semi auto in .308. The serial is february of 64, making just 2 months late of being really collectible. The pre-64's as they call them in original condition bring pretty good money. This one was given to the family and I liked the action but I'd like something I know will fire and not wonder.

 

Have you looked at Raptor liner?

 

Maybe......

 

also

 

Just did, it's $100 more expensive

 

OUCH!

 

morning @six5crèéd

 

This is only $60

 

I may have one as well…..

 

Is anybody's 10 Palmetto State Armory? I've got a Remington R700 in .223 I could use but I'd like more dropping power...

 

Most were powered by Detroit Diesels, the most common being the in line 6-71 (6 cylinders X 71 cubic inches = 426), as it sticks out from under the cab that would be most probable. If a shorter engine was needed they could also be fitted with a 6V-71, the same displacement as the in line engine but in a V configuration. Also available were the 8V-71 and even a 702 cubic inch gasoline GMC V12!
And people think a Tacoma is hard on gas.


Past Tech with Rusty history for the morning:

The Detroits are 2 stroke diesels, since they fire every stroke of the piston they sound like they are turning twice as fast as a conventional 4 stroke engine thus the nickname Screaming Jimmy - Jimmy being slang for GMC.

The 2 stroke Detroit engines were quite revolutionary when introduced in 1938, a compact modular design using parts commonality across a variety of models based on a 71 cubic inch per cylinder displacement. 53 cubic inch models were introduced in 1957 along with V configuration engines. 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 16 cylinder versions were produced.
The larger series 92 was introduced in 1974.

A series 6-110 six cylinder was also produced for much larger applications like marine propulsion, heavy construction equipment, power generation, railroad, etc.

These 2 strokes are all equipped with a supercharger (Roots blower) and have no intake valves, the cylinder liner has ports that are uncovered when the piston is at the bottom of the stroke, the supercharger forces in a fresh air charge while simultaneously scavenging the cylinder when the exhaust valves (2 on early engines or 4 on later ones) open.

Detroits also do not have a conventional high pressure injection pump. A low pressure pump provides fuel to individual unit injectors that are operated by the camshaft.
