How warm is a sleeping bag with 2.5lbs of polyester fiber?

It depends ENTIRELY on where the polyester fibres are, really.

If the fibres all lumped around the hood (of a mummy style sleeping bag), then your head will be warm, but your feet...Possibly not so.

If it's evenly spread, you would remain relatively warmer than if you were to find yourself without the fibres.

What is the difference between the 12 gauge JC Higgins Models 583.17 and 583.20?

Good question. The Blue Book Store Brand Cross Over List says the 583.20 is a High Standard Flight King and 583.17 a High Standard but no model name or number is given. A range of Sears ID numbers will often be the same gun sold in a different year, but in this case there is a .18 and .2 between these models and they are Harrington & Richardson guns. I'd still bet that both these guns are the Flight King. actually 583 17 &583 20 Were made by high standard They are the known as the sears model 10 bolt action repeating shotgun the 583 17 was made in 1949 the 583 20 series was made in 1952 both gun are almost identical the 583 20 has some minor improvements in any case both gun are based on the the H&R 120 and have nothing to do whats so ever with High Standard model 200 flighte king pump shotgun

Which luggage is more durable - that made of ballistic nylon or that made of 600 denier polyester?

The ballistic nylon will be a higher denier (thickness of the thread). Also will be shiny/glossy compared to the matte finish of polyester. Ballistic nylon will be much more durable and much less likey to tear or scuff. You can get higher denier polyester (900, 1200, 1800) which will be better for wear and tear. The price will reflect this however as 600d poly is low to mid price point whereas the others are higher.

What is the difference between g-325 and g-325a?

Before the advent of printed forms, the G-325 was issued in carbon packs. The only difference between the G-325 and the G-325A form was that the G-325 was a two page package and the G-325A had four pages. Both forms have now been revised to just one page -- in other words, other than the "A" notation, there is no difference between the forms and they are interchangeable. In other words, though they may be the same now, just fill out the one that is required of you.

What is the difference between a saber and an epee?

The blade of a Sabre is flat; in an épée, it is a v-shape; the guard of a Sabre is slightly rounded and extends round to the pommel, covering the knuckles; in épée, it is vaguely bell-shaped. In épée, hits can only be scored with the point of the weapon, whereas the edge can be used as well as the point in Sabre. In épée, if both fencers hit each other simultaneously, both score. In Sabre, the same system of priorities exists as in foil (if you don't know this system, sorry, but it's too complicated to explain in detail here). Finally, épée hits can be scored anywhere on the opponent's body, whereas Sabre hits on the hands and legs are invalid. This is not an exhaustive list, but it covers the main points.
