No the 7.62x39 was originally developed for the SKS, the PPSh-41 shot the 7.62x25 which is an updated version of the 7.63x25 mauser round used in the old broom handles. 7.62x25 is a high velocity pistol round developed in 1930 and was used in many sub guns too. I said I didn't know when the 7.62x39 came out but I knew when the AK47 came out. Now you made me look it up, the 7.62x39 was developed in 1943. And actually the AK47 wasn't developed in 1947, that is the year the red army adopted it into service. The actual designing started in 1944 with the first military test starting in 1946. I have a few AKs and have no complaints about them. The wood they come with looks like it was cut from laminated plywood but you must remember this was a military gun built cheap. There are plenty of nice upgrade stock you can get for them, I personally like Tapco. The rifles are put down by many people saying they are not accurate. Well mine are, maybe its whats behind the trigger causing the accuracy issues. James

Probably not after putting it on utube! James

X2 both of mine were broken. I replaced them with some of those plastic rivets used to hold plastic guards under most import cars. Also my vacuum line was broken off. It is a very tiny line so it probably wont make a difference in how the motor runs so you might not notice. James

Your doing better than me, my garage is the small slab you see my truck parked on in my sig pic. Advice, don't move on your father in laws property if he is an ass hole! I waisted a lot of my time and money there just to give it up and move away. (before I killed him!) The wife is just lucky I brought her with me. I am kind of attached to her after 20 years. Try mounting a 18" low pro 10" wide motorcycle tire! I fought it for a while and it took several harsh words but I wasn't going to pay $30 per tire without balancing or removing from the bike. If I had to go through the pain in the ass to remove it from the bike (shaft drive) I might as well change out the rubber too. I haven't found a bead yet that a high lift jack wont break!

sure looks like a regular Co2 cartridge. Refill it with some jungle juice or some other homemade concoction. James

The 7.62 x 39 has the power of a 30-30, the 7.62 x 54 was the higher power cartridge for the old mosin nagant rifle, dragunov sniper rifle and some machine guns. The 30-06 was introduced in 1906 in the springfield rifle, but the 7.62 x 54r was introduced in 1891 in the mosin nagant rifle. I'm not sure when the 7.62 x 39 came out but it was originally in the SKS rifle then the AK47. James

30-06 is one of the oldest cartridges still in use. I think the oldest is the Russian 7.62 X 54R which is comparable in power to the 30-06. As Precise said with the many different loads available even for the non reloader it can be used for varmint hunting all the way up to elk hunting. It started its life as a military round and can be loaded hotter than factory spects in newer rifles. 45acp is the best semi auto round in a 1911 of course. I do like 357 also for a revolver, I'm actually looking for one right now. I want a 4" barrel to keep under my arm while hunting. I have a old colt python with a 6" barrel but I wouldn't want to take that hunting. it's too pretty! The newer semi auto are getting more accurate. I don't carry rat shot rounds for snakes when hunting. I took a snakes head off from around 10 yards with my old 1911. Also If you don't have the money for a new glock don't shoot your buddy glock. They are addicting! They have the correct natural angle on the grip for point shooting. I'm more accurate with the glock than with my 1911. You don't even have to use the sites. Guns are my favorite subject, I could go on for days so I'll shut up now. James

Cool thats what I needed to know! Do you go in mud often? My truck will be in the poo all through hunting season. Oh and trailchaser I ain't screwing with this one, it's already mounted and rollin. James

I was going to make my own too. I got the bearings and have some 4140 round stock, but working 60 hours a week and 8 hours on Saturday I don't have the time so I just ordered the proven one. The only thing left to make it a perfect centerlink would have been a grease zerk. Unless he is using a different bearing than the ones I got. Mine have channels for grease so all it would have taken was a properly placed hole for a zerk to grease them. I'm sure they will last a while like they are though, what kind of life are you guys getting with y'alls? James

I hope I never have to push my bike, it weights 750 pounds. I don't think I would get far. When I was a teenager I would open beer bottles with my teeth. Just **** your jaw to the side, hook the cap on your lower teeth and push against your top teeth and it would pop right off. Chicks would really dig that trick. I'm pretty sure a few teeth would pop out if I tried that at my age now. James

I thought even plastic knives were illegal there! Y'all come on down to Louisiana we got plenty of room and you can own damn near anything you can afford. You can even buy a machine gun and silencer if you pay your taxes and do the paper work. And work right now the oil field is crazy, I'm back to working 60 hours a week! James

Busy or not when he sent me the email a week ago asking how many links I sent him it would have only taken 5 more minutes to log into paypal and send my refund. It's all good now, the cores were delivered 15 days ago and maybe a coincidence but at 2 O'Clock yesterday, 8 hours after I posted this I got my refund. So now I can just enjoy my grassroots centerlink. Pathy drives nice and tight now. James

How long does it take for Brian at grass roots to refund the core deposit? I sent him an extra core that I picked up in a scrap yard which he told me in an email he would pay $25 for. After a week I emailed him and asked him for my deposit and he claimed he never received my cores. I forwarded the email with the tracking number saying it was delivered to his front door and he agreed they were delivered but still claimed he never got them. Then he asked how many I sent so he could send the refund. Over a week now and still no refund in my paypal. I don't want to discredit this guy but it sure looks like he is trying to screw me! James

I ordered my WD21 bumper from KMA in May and still waiting. Yours is going to look awesome mounted up! I hope they don't take too much longer with mine, hunting season is just a couple of months away and I need to open up a few trails so the pathy will fit where I need it to go! James

If the reservoir is over full (and you didn't over fill it) and the radiator is low you have a blown head gasket. Snap on sells a carbon monoxide detector to check for this. It uses a yellow fluid that turns blue when it detects carbon monoxide. Might be the other way around, been a long time since I used mine. The engine will run fine but slowly loose coolant. James

I got one of the Smitty Built XRC8. It's still sitting in the shed waiting for my KMA bumper to get here, one day!

Yes I know that but when the vacuum is low the MAP sensor tells the ECM that the engine is under a heavy load and should let the trans stay in a lower gear to help out. At least that is how it works on American made vehicles. I haven’t done any computer work on any Nissans because there computers system hardly ever have problems. James

It's nice to have machining skills! James

You can check for a plugged cat with a vacuum gauge, but you would have lost power if the cat was plugged. It does sound like you have low vacuum if the tranny is taking longer to shift though. Also pull the vacuum hose off of the fuel pressure regulator while its running and look for fuel in the vacuum port. I've seen this problem on a few older Nissan's. The diaphragm starts leaking and lets fuel into the vacuum side. On a 85 300z the fuel was actually dripping out of the exhaust. James

The stock alternator will charge any size battery as long as you are not drawing more off of it than the alternator can put in. How does it fit? Pics? James

Definitly a collapsed lifter. Check your oil pressure too, make sure it's not low at idle. James

Sounds to me like a collapsed lifter. You should have revved it a few times in the video. A main or rod knock would be a lot deeper. Pull your rocker covers and see what you find. Don't start it with the covers off though overhead cams sling alot of oil! If nothing looks obvious pull on each rocker arm then turn the engine a little and pull on them again. James

Hey two manly vehicles out of three isn't bad! The wife has to drive something! I had bought her a 2 wheel drive Xterra in 2000 when they first hit the dealers. They were moving so fast that I couldn't find one with an auto trans so I got her a 5 speed SE. After a year and a half she was tired of shifting and traded it on the quest. Now she wants another truck again but thanks to the Nissan dealer here I'm going Chevrolet. James

Now that I'm in the really low risk group (they don't know me very well) or old fart group, my pathy cost me $8 a month for liability only insurance at 50/100/50 limits! I waste more than that on the bottle of iced tea I get every morning on the way to work. I get home owner and multiple vehicle discounts though. James

Yes I made a set of upper ball joint spacers to try and get the front high enough to match the rear with the AC 3" lift springs. They will help it go higher but I knew the CVs wouldn't survive long. So I pulled the AC springs and got some jeep springs. The deepest water I should ever be in is 1 1/2 to 2 feet so I don't need to be that high anyway. James
