straight from the tin, no lube. I have yet to clean the barrel except when I first received RIP chrony set at 905 fps with reg adjusted to 1950 psi

Took RIP out last evening to sling some lead. View pitchers for results. Slept goooood last night!

The EVOLS I purchased were not TOO expensive,,,,,,considering I have paid 3500 for a Titus full suspension Mtn Bike in my past hobby and a Felt road bike decked out with an all TI bolt package that weighed under 16 pounds that was pushing 5 grand. I work hard and long and justify things...

CMP Daisy 853 .177 cal/Norma 8.4 ammo 10 meters 10 shots Seated, free hand, Diopter sight system This is a sweet favorite shooter. I love lounging on the carport and plinking away at most anything. One hell of a gun for slightly over 100 bucks!Enjoy the pitcher, It's Miller Time Have a good en...

I only posted here, knowing that Tom checks in some times. But, I never heard anything from him, AND I know he is busy and all is well here.

Good moring! I have placed an order with Mcmaster Carr for the 4-40 X 1" long Hex grub screw needed to repair my safety problem. They came in a pack of 50, for 7 bucks and change, shipping was almost 10 bucks. Could not source any at hardware stores in my area. Some stores had them but only up...

I almost have it fixed. Got the broken screw drilled out and re-tapped. Still trying to source the 4-40 x 1 inch long screw. I dont need 40 of these but its hard to purchase only one.

Thank you, I do believe the rough patch is behind us.

I understand all of that but the threaded rod that is left will be too short to screw in now. Thats a pretty small screw, not sure if I can locate one. I have a pitch gauge and micrometer and knowledge from 45 years working in a machine shop.

The weather has been beautiful the last couple days. Temps in the upper 60's to lower 70's, little to no wind gust, tarheel blue skies, just great conditions. BETH had a ruff start in the beginning, reg needed adjusted, waiting on o-ring to stop a leak in the gauge block, and the recent...

Yes, I realize that, and it is broken flush with the nut

the left hand side is broken off flush with the nut, it would need to be drilled out probably. If it will be a problem getting a replacement I will just leave it out and shoot like she is now.

I have not tried to as of yet, I am still pouting over my luck.

It was not on purpose, I didnt mean to. Tom had warned not to tighten more than snug. I was careful and went gently. It did not twist off when putting back in the trigger assembly. When I finish with a shooting session I remove the mag and put the safety in safe position, thats when it broke...

That does sound stressful. Really hate when stuff like that happens.
