NWI INGO General Post - Part 13

Not in this case.

The 2 stuck bolts have plastic collars and knobs on them. And the cover they both hold in place is ABS plastic. So using a torch is not viable.

I got both unstuck later that day. Broke off the plastic collar/knobs. Grabbed a ratchet wrench and broke the rust with a judicious amount of banging. Today I went to Tractor Supply and bought new bolts.

two words: anti seize

Sooooo after a long talk with several people at Beretta today about the hammer drop safety that broke on my oldest and most used Beretta 92FS they transferred me to Brownells and offered me a plastic replacement part...

I'm so very disappointed in Beretta now...

I may have to have a replacement machined if all they are offering now is plastic....

Oh well....

Plastic is the new metal dont you know.
Just print your own.

 

[bigretic]

Can he show up on time everyday, and not call off in his first 90 days?

Yes, but that doesn't mean he will. He was actually well liked at his last job but quit in a fit about mandatory overtime.

One of my favorite stores.

Yes, now. Unfortunately not from the factory.

One of my favorite stores.

It does provide its benefits.

#1, it's name is instant wife repellent. So when I include that store in places I need to go when running errands I am assured that my wife will not tag along and turn my short trips to buy needed items into a day long shopping spree visiting stores that should never be endured by even the most tolerant of husbands.
#2, it is pet friendly.
#3, it is gun friendly.​

Marine Corps they'll set him straight and put him on a path of direction.

I know !775 already mentioned the USMC. But I would toss in the other services as well. Have him talk to some recruiters.

Funny. My wife likes the store more than I do, and she is not one to do the kind of shopping you refer to. Of course that is offset with her thinking that all spare time should be occupied doing chores. Except of course for her watching the stupid TV shows she likes to watch.

[PlainClothesPatriot]

F that noise. I would have left personally. Stupidity and guns do not mix. Sorry I couldn't make it out either. But good news is we got an offer accepted so I'll be 10 mins from the range. I can go on weekdays when the idiots are at home

If he doesn't like mandatory overtime, DirectBuy is not the place for him.

PCP... it was a nightmare out there and nobody else showed up so I had to keep my head on a swivel constantly...

Still got the Beretta carbine sighted in though... Still trying to make it over to Blythes before the weekend to see where she is hitting inside of 25 yards before I'm comfortable...

Might hit Sand Burr this sunday or monday if everything works out...

 

[gunbunnies]

Soooo got to love when the blood sugars finally come down enough to eat a few carbs right before time to get some sleep... I'm betting this pump is going to alarm on me pretty soon because I don't see any other reason for the BS being so high...

Would have been nice to get to eat something this morning or lunch time... but I'll take this now... Here is to hoping the dang thing settles and gives a good BS again in the morning...

These things run good for a couple monthes and then a batch will have 2 bad ones in it... Oh well....

That they will.
