If you really wanted that .049 engine to scream you would buy Missile Mist fuel at the hobby store. It had higher percentage of Nitro in it.
And if you wanted your go cart to scream you put the cox fuel in it.

Cut it in half and scoop out the good stuff.

Ran across this video on YouTube, on it they claim the cox .049 engine was held to tolerances of 25 millionths of an inch. I find that hard to believe, I found it hard to work to 50 mil in a climate controlled shop. How could that keep running once it got hot?

Also, what style chokes do they use?
Can you post a picture of the tube? My first guess would be winchoke.

This one has me curious, along with it's companion 1942 .1911 Colt stamped "PROPERTY US ARMY". I know the history of Devel, but all I know is they came from my grandfathers collection.

I want to know how I'm paying for them? Pretty sure they won't take Visa. Out west, buffalo hunt, unlimited funds, Sharps or 1881 Marlin. I'd think a 1873 Winchester would cost more than most people made in months, maybe a year.

I once found a reproduction Sears catalog from 1910 at a yard sale, I was amazed at how much of that stuff we had, probably ordered by my grandparents. Maternal grandfather built a sears home. I have a book case/ gun case /writing desk , whatever it is it has my paternal grandfathers name and the small town he lived in written on the back. I was thinking who writes their name and town on the back of their furniture? Then it hit me, Sears did, probable all they needed to get it to him before WWI.

I wonder if you could 3D print those cartridge cases? Not a muzzle loader, probably not legal for ML season.

I used one in .44 mag for several years when i first started. Never had a problem, still have it for a hunting gun.

When I was shooting wild bunch I used a 1911, I also have a A1, in all truth when shooting I can't tell the difference.

I use the same 130 gr LFP bullets in my .38 super and my .38 cowboy loads. Browning designed the .32 ACP and 38 ACP ( later super) with larger rims to headspace on. I use .32 ACP cases loaded to .32 S&W specs for my pocket pistols, only because I have lots of cases. All 3 will cost about the same to reload. I'd use 9mm myself, go to any range and pick up all the brass you want.

My kid wanted to go to the Lego store, I told him no way, people are lined up for blocks over there.

really - no covers at all ? i dont remember ever seeing that , they would have had gang spray paint tags if they stopped anywhere
I remember them being shipped uncovered, when they stared getting "tagged" and people threw rocks at them, then they started covering them.
