    I like Old Arn — probably better than that POS that misses elk

    @BigR The action on your rifle is most definitely Mauser.



    I knew it was ringing a bell for some reason but not as Swiss or Japanese.

    The company I drive for claims that all Peelots, Flying Hooks, TAs, Petros, and Loves north of I-70 are pretreated for -10° or -15° after a certain date. I think it's after November 1, but not certain. In any event, I've never added anti-gel with this company, and I've never had a filter gel while I've been here. And I've been in lots of below zero in the last four years. Just fwiw.

    I don't see any lows on that forecast where I would worry about it much anyway. I've never had trouble above 10°.

    While the equipment is a key component, the operator is responsible for ensuring the equipment is properly used.

    If that's a Uncle Fester saying, I don't pay attention to him

    These are the most recent infotainment stories I can find on this, but we get that message every year around this time. I've never had a truck gel above 10°. It sucks when it happens though. Probably @okiedokie has better information.

    There's only like 10,000 minor or sub variants of Mausers.
