I missed what the problem was???

 

[churchmouse]

We have 2 projects today. Gotta get a roll on.....Be safe fellas.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Be safe CM, have a great one!!

 

[db1959]

You got it back pretty quickly.

They got it Monday and I got it back Thursday. That was quick. You cant deny that Ruger has great CS but I'd rather not have to send it back for repair in the first place.

They replaced the extractor and anything that had to do with the mag release.

 

[db1959]

Be safe cm.

 

[SEIndSAM]

Well, good luck DB, hope it works.

Safe travels today. I need to get stuff rolling around here, have a great one!!

 

[db1959]

You too Sam.

yeah it happened this morning I dropped it in a baggie full of rice. I believe there is residue still left on the VGA cable that is causing my screen issues so before I take it in and come up with some sort of story about how it broke I'll probably take it apart and see if I can't clean the connectors.

Just after we got the big snow I lost my iPhone 5S 128GB out of my coat pocket while shoveling the driveway. I ended up stepping on it a dozen times without noticing while setting up the generator after losing power as it's a white phone in a white case - and it fell on the snow...

I got LUCKY in that I was able to wipe it off and throw it in some rice for about a day and it seems to be fine.

Son dropped his in water. (toilet...) and was doing the rice thing. I took it and set it up in front of the wife's blow drier on low heat. Battery out of course. 10 minutes later it was working just fine.

Oh, I have a metal model I will trade for that Colt. It is a real cool one if the G-daughter will let me have it back......

I am getting another GSG 1911 in .22 Lr with a threaded barrel and a hand full of cash for my S&W 1911PD Caspian. I was not looking to sell it but when my buddy saw it and coon fingered it for 10 minutes I saw the look in his eyes. He wore me out all day yesterday with offers via text. I finally gave in just to keep from wearing out my phone.
I have a hot-rodded GSG that I use to train females and youngsters to shoot a hand gun. Really do not need a 2nd one but it will make nice trade/sell for someone in the classifieds.

Oh yeah, you will not have any trouble at all selling that.

I did the same thing with my old iPhone - but it was the bath tub [it was on the edge and got bumped in]. There shouldn't have been standing water in the tub but there was for some reason.

Screen was glitchy for about a day until it fully dried out.

Figured not. I have some really nice grips and some cool stuff in the spare parts drawer....might doll it up a bit.
