Morning folks!

 

[MindfulMan]

Hey-O, gangsters !

Waiting for word on my truck. For the first time in 25 yrs. of ownership, the
"Service Engine Soon" light came on.
So now, I'm truckless, and (1/2) toothless !

OK. I'm up. Prepping gear and the pickup to go back to work on Thursday.
Got a used dishwasher to get rid of. Still work that needs done so my bow hunting is probably over. I claim to like it but can't seem to drag my lazy ass out of bed to go do it very often. Finding lots of scrapes so activity is picking up. Gun season will be here before we know it.

That's me. I enjoy bow hunting but so many chores to be done before gun season that I haven't been out. I was bush hogging Saturday and noticed several scrapes as well.

Firewood day….

If something got behind the release lever or it's spring got damaged, it might be the problem. Looks like several companies make extended release levers.

This video gives you a good look at how it works.

Zackcz got the 512 taken apart (different arrangement than the 455, though).
Nothing broken, just gummed up!
Cleaned everything.
It doesn't fall out now, but releases just fine.

He mentioned that the company selling the metal longer mag release no longer had them.
I'll use spray cleaner where Zackcz says to & compressed air to keep it cleaned out & on the 455 I bought from Rala nearly 3 yrs ago.
It has taken 3 full yrs for the 512 to get gummed up.
I really haven't shot it much with all the other .22 rifles I tried out & b/c of construction the last 2 summers.
I did take it apart to clean once & never even knew to look at the magazine release area.

 

[MindfulMan]

The code from the Check Engine Soon light came back as "Evap Seal".
They put a new gas cap on it, and the light has stayed OFF !
I'm still half-toothed, but at least I'll have a truck.

The gardener took me out for breakfast today, must be angling for that excavator. I'll know for sure if I start seeing info on them around the house.

I thought they only applied to ruger mk iiis

I’m more of a clean every range trip just bc it’s give me a couple hours or so of time at my bench to tinker instead of real life problems or chores around the house

Depends on the gun for me. If its a safe queen, it will get a cleaning asap. If it's a "regular" gun, clean it when it needs it.

Precision rifles might get a patch and a bolt inspection each trip but not a deep cleaning until the target says so.

but that is just me.

Seems to be the norm. I don’t do any rifle shooting at all so I’ve never had to deal with any of that lol

Little chainsaw work this morning. 10" Oak limb down at the edge of the yard. A loader bucket full of good firewood to pick up after lunch.

 

[MindfulMan]

I clean them until you can eat your breakfast from the innards !
There's something about "inspect, test, maintain, modify" nuclear weapons (truly, the only thing I was allowed to say) that carries over. Nukes are clean inside.

Very common problem, Very common repair.

Well I guess I did pick up a 10/22 I’m going to tinker with to try to get some better groups than doddg does just to pester him lol. Not sure I will ever put it in the precision category abd 50 yds is as far as im gonna take it

The truck, or the teeth, Chris ?
Honestly, I've always avoided anything to do with automobile repair. I used to work on my motorcycles a bit, but cars/trucks never held my attention from a repair perspective.

WTS: - SOLD Price Drop Smith & Wesson Model 500 w/2 compensators, ammo, and holster

SOLD For sale/trade Excellent condition S&W X Frame 500 Magnum with 8 3/8" barrel and both compensators. It appears this revolver has had 1 round through it, either at the factory or previous owner. Only 1 chamber has the tell-tale shadow around the front of the cylinder. I've never fired...

I need one of these.

Believe me, that is my MO.
I have begun to take my snake to the range to run through my pistols, however.

On my Honda S2000, you must turn the cap "3 clicks" (I do 5ish) or a light will come on.
Drove my son nuts when he bought his b/c you have to go to the dealership to get light to turn off since they don't tell you how to clear the light.
