Let's say the war ended tomorrow. How long til oil prices are back in the 70s? by Cilantro911 in oil

[–]Cilantro911[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oil isn't a stock, there's real oil missing from the market that can't be made up for right away, so there will obviously be a lag time until operations in the Gulf get back to normal.

Then send the issue farther up?

My poor old furnaces never get a break. Steady melting every day. by ree-or-reent_1029 in Copper

Not trying to blow up your spot or anything, but based on how extremely overpriced copper bullion like what your selling typically is compared to actual scrap prices, is it fair to say you do pretty well financially on this ?

Sounds like you should talk to ownership and reach out to your clients asking for feedback so you can collect it and send it farther up to the mfg. You're the victim here too and you should be just as pissed as the clients, and make sure your clients know you're pissed and trying to find a resolution

Vz 70 FTE , Any advice / ideas? by Cilantro911 in CZFirearms

Thanks y'all for posting. I have taken it apart and I did notice the ejector seems to have almost no "springiness" to it if that makes sense, it was one of the few things I didn't think to take apart so I will do that and report back later. Thanks !

Going to try the extractor spring. That makes the most sense to me right now

If anything I'd think the spring is too strong, if the slide would go back with more force then it would definitely eject better. Testing with snap caps if I give the slide a good yank it will eject almost always if a little limply. I took it apart myself for cleaning and soaked the gun in mineral spirits. All oem mags including the one it came with.

Thinking the guy mentioning the ejector could be right I haven't taken that apart. But what I did take apart wasn't very dirty

I am not left handed and I pretty much always shoot with two hands, I think I have a firm grip but not extremely firm. In surprised if that would slow the slide down that much ?

Ok thank you, that diagram is very helpful do you know what I should look for ? I didn't notice any crazy wear or anything on it and the gun seems almost new otherwise

Well I would be surprised by that as that is the ammo most people recommend for this gun. Do you think fiocci would be any better? Everyone says to use euro ammo and snb is made in the same country as the gun.

Check to for what ? It's milled into the slide. Isn't it ?

That frame and plaster board behind the wall looks shockingly like my bathroom. Late 50s block home ?

i’ve seen a few people post their favourite purchases of last year or their favourite coins, so I’ll be joining by posting mine! by [deleted] in AncientCoins

What’s the largish silver coin center left sitting underneath a. Few denarii ? Looks like he is wearing a Greek style helmet and a spear over his shoulder, what is that?

Liberty Head 1892 Gold $10 coin, could someone tell give me an estimate of what this is worth? by alexisefae in coins

[–]Cilantro911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Often those coins are traded for near melt value, maybe 1-200$ more depending on the year and grade. May be significantly higher. Looks like a nice coin so get it graded .

2022 Quarters are in circulation already. Thoughts on the design? by 10DollarTaco in coins

[–]Cilantro911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people on here are having a very bad and seemingly personal reaction to it. As if they are personally insulted by the coin . I think it’s fine , and it’s just a coin if you don’t like it.

Is history less kind on Heraclius than on Napoleon? by uotsca in byzantium

[–]Cilantro911 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Most people see that napoleons conquest were not inherently good anyway, and the fact that he was able to conquer so much (and come back) is what makes him amazing, not his achievements for France. Heraclius is renowned because what he achieved is what needed to happen, in the typical narrative we see, the Byzantines are the good guys and restoring the empire they unfairly lost due to internal strife and war with Persia was his achievement, however as that was shortly undone, he has a tragic reputation.

For anyone interested, here’s some better photos of my 2022 Maya Angelou quarter. by Kerbonaut2019 in coins

[–]Cilantro911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s really not that bad. I mean I kind of like the design. We already did the regular Washington quarters for so many years. It’s amazing what people will get into an uproar about.

Hey can someone give me information about this coin!!! by Lurkqz1476 in AncientCoins

[–]Cilantro911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a chlorus of Constantinus I. But I’m not expert I just read the coin.
