Any chance of using a lighter spring?
Seems most auto's come sprung for max loads and then some.

The Ruger LCR in .357 would be my choice for a revolver though, light, easy trigger pull and point and shoot, not to mention multiple choices on ammo.


The album "An Appreciation of JJ Cale by Eric Clapton & Friends" or something like that was what I was trying to post.
They do Cale very well imho on this CD.

Please type it out for us.
Thanks !
It's an everyday occurrence around here. Why did Harley change their compensator design, why did they go to automatic tension, why does my Harley transmission rattle in neutral?

Now along with the questions that should be directed at Harley we also get the back story of how many times the bike was in the shop. What the discussions with the service manager were about, what they ate for lunch that day and why they had to take their chinchilla to the vet.

Stan did I mention this job requires you to be a grief counselor and shrink as well as understand the inner workings of a gear box.

O'Mark - seems similar to some customers I have - you know my clientele type.
HaHaHa
Never fear for once I was a bartender working through the last 2 years of college.

EDIT:
3 things I learned from that:
1. Everybody has a story and some skeletons in their closet.
2. Life in a small MN town is not dull behind the scenes.
3. How to listen, or pretend to listen :-)

It is looking grim, Stan. May have to polish the moss off of him. But the vet said it may grow back

You should pet it more often and that won't happen.

OG, do you have a suggestion on the snap ring pliers for my transplant project? I have a cheap pair form Harbor Freight and thy are worth less than I paid for them....which was a coupon purchase, I think! I have seen a few on Amazon but some are too big for the smaller rings and I'd had to throw $80 for a tool for one project.

O'Mark, between you and I and the fencepost, MarkyDOS is not feeding it right.
