I'm always trying new things. Routines get dull. What new things are you trying? Me? Casting boolits, and powdercoating 9mm. Broke my Lee mold handles today. Probably going to buy RCBS primer tubes for my home made priming machine.

I used paper towels and hardware store denatured alcohol. My Carbine had a sort of pimp shine to it and I was able to remove a ton of grime and god knows what, without stripping the BLO. The alchy will strip the oil if not careful. BLO is interesting. It is actually proper maintenance to oil it once a year. Surplus rifle forums has a good section on wood working.

I should add that I want ONE powder. I have some Blue Dot that I don't even want to use because I can't load all of my handguns with it. I may have some AA2 and/or AA9. My next buy may be 231 or Titegroup if they meter well and I see what my cookbooks say about them.

I was looking for a non-weapon light. I actually want a weapon that can mount a light, but I don't have that option unless I drive wood screws into my Carbine. There are lots of good lights out there, but I am curious to see if any of the other Ultrafire-esque lights are worth it.

I'm currently using Bullseye for 45, I've loaded and not shot 9mm, and I will be getting into 38 at some point. I dislike bullseye. I find it staticy and sticky, it doesn't meter well, and a bunch of it glued itself to the tube in my Lyman powder thrower. My extruded 4895 meters much better, but I use a Hornady/pacific for that. How's Unique? It seems extremely popular.

I would try alcohol. Assuming it has BLO underneath, you may not even destroy that if it wasn't sanded.

I have a couple of flashlights that serve me well, and I really don't *need* anything FWIW. My current go-to flashlights are one of those AA $3 Cree Chinese specials that are advertised at 300 lumens but are probably half that. The other is a 3 cell 123a Kobalt that is 1000 lumens. Both lights were very affordable which is what I like. What should I buy next? I like big bang-for-the-buck deals like what I have. Preference goes to non 123A cells. I know this is vague, but some of the best deals I'll miss in life I will never know about.

Beer is kinda a PITA. For awhile, I was making ciders and a few other wine things.

In Vietnam we killed about 1.2 million VC, but that didn't prop of Saigon for when we left.

Am I the only one that feels this is the first "hot" day of summer? When I was a kid, it seemed to roast from May through August. I think last summer the last half of August was early Autumn. This summer is IMHO mild, so far that I don't even have the AC in my bedroom. I also make a point to avoid AC so I am used to heat. I don't know if that actually does anything

No plate number? Edit: NY Post said AK47. I love the media.

OP lives in PA.

Why measure the recoil spring? I'm assuming by recoil spring you mean the long spring that throws the bolt forward.

I still think that your gunsmith gave you a lame excuse. I don't think your firing pin or the bolt is the culprit. If anything was mechanically wrong it likely would have been replaced by the original owner. Springs wear, so that would be my first guess after a thorough cleaning. I suggest a Murray's FP for any SKS, so it might not be unwise to send the whole bolt to them for their improvements. Sharp furniture you have there.

Thanks for the imput everyone!

On average how horrendous is working in NYC tax wise? An opportunity popped up, and I'm wondering how much more I would have to make to break even. I am aware that I would have to pay taxes to PA and NY, whereas I get NJ refunded now. Thanks guys.

Your "gunsmith" should have cleaned the daylights out of the firing pin. If it were properly cleaned it should have been taken care of. It is the single thing on an SKS that needs to be clean. Find a few tutorials and clean your rifle. If the problem persists, replace springs. They can't be too expensive.

Reminds me of an XM8. I never liked Glocks, but I always thought a polished slide would be nifty.

I read the can of Off Deepwoods, and I was surprised to see it is 25% deet. I may look into it

Garden State is OK. Their prices aren't terrible, I live five minutes away from Dunks and I stop at GS when I can. Plus, they're super nice people. They don't pick up the phone much, but respond to emails instantly. They were nice enough to open early so my dad could pick up a few things.

I'm going camping in a few weeks. What is the best way to keep bugs off of me? Other than sleeves and drums of deet.

It was ruled as a suicide. I saw this on reddit... His calmness was creepy. He tried to steal a case of beer at walmart, then hid in the bathroom at that place.
