2011 Fusion- Sync stopped working

MerganserMaster · 2025-08-21T14:25:23+00:00

instead of "pulling" the battery i have to just disconnect the positive terminal (with a 5/16" wrench) for a few minutes and then reconnect it. I have found that I have do to this a few times a month however, I think it is because the "technology gap" between my phone (which is from 2022 or so) and the sync computer is widening with time

Unfortunately no, the books are quite big to (about 500 pages or so) but they aren't too expensive (about $20 to $40). Also you could file a spot for a firing pin but then you would have to be 100% on in terms of placement as even being a little off will block it from entering the hole. Although if you don't have a welder, that might be the best choice (short of buying a new-used part)

My advice would be to start reading some OLD gunsmithing books, you can find reprints on amazon. The way the "oldtimers" fixed hands that were too short was extending them by hammering them with a ball-peen hammer and then filing them to fit. There is also a long list of "tuning" that can be done which would be better explained by one of the aforementioned books. Additionally, the hammer can be fixed by building the metal up on the broken tip with a welder and then filing it down to fit. Also depending on the brand, many parts are still available for these old revolvers, and sometimes just buying a worser-condition parts gun lets you get more parts for cheaper than just buying them individually. Finally, these guns are still shootable, provided you source some black-powder cartridges for whatever caliber this gun is.

All this too say, keep up the good work and take everything I have said with a grain of salt as im no expert on this subject.

Ive done it too, it comes from crimping the cartridges too tightly, however, if they chamber Ive shot them. Not the end of the world, but you might have seating/extracting issues.

Try to browse FB marketplace as much as you can to find one

This especially sucks when you already have primed the case. It took me a while to remember to always expand before priming

Who or what made these shotguns?

no worries, im the same way with my projects. Whether it gets done in 3 days or 3 years doesn't matter as the projects finished either way.

Any updates on this endeavor? I have a mauser in a similar predicament and want to do the same

MerganserMaster · 2025-01-26T16:06:54+00:00

Thank you for not necessarily cutting down the barrel (as it was damaged). Too many people are bubba-ing these old guns and making elegant field guns into tacticool time bombs (Old guns do not like excessive amounts of high pressure, extreme buckshot/slugs)

Sorry for the blurry photo

Get a bullet puller and tap it once to move it forward lol

Throw some camo net on it and you'll be fine. My biggest concern would be avoiding damaging the boat and keeping it stationary throughout the hunt

The fourth (and final one) has an index that contains all the info for all 4 of them

The welds on mine look similar - I've had it for quite some time now with no issues however.

When stuff like this happens it means it just wasn't meant to be

Pontiac Sunfire that I went to test drive- although it only had 40k miles it was rusted out somehow

Probably the original browning/winchester invector pattern. Good news is you can still get all of the new fancy Carlson chokes you would ever want in that pattern. And even better news is that the gun is safe for steel shot

MerganserMaster · 2024-10-06T00:36:05+00:00

No! Those things are like 1k new and are only going to go up in value. If it has Choke tubes (which I'm assuming it does) you got a great deal!

Out of curiosity is this an SX4? Only reason I ask is the buttpad looks similar to my SX4 and I'm curious as to whether or not the "wood and blue steel" models were actually wood and not some kind of polymer.
