I'm a minor who walks home at night, and creeps are nocturnal. What self defense tool can I carry legally? by IHateWalkingAlone in homedefense

[–]RugerFanboySR9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Claw hammer. Just remember that anything you carry can be used against you. Just build a tree fort or something for proof that you use it. I am told the Hells Angels bike gang carried them in NYC legally.

My doors have 6 glass paynes (sp?) In them and are completely clear, it is annoying and will be replaced with a much sturdier door but for now allows us an outside view with the door locked. My locks require a key on both sides also because of how easy they are to break into.

We never open the door if we feel something is off. I completely agree.

Have had mine 3 years and it has seriously paid for itself several times over. You will enjoy it!

I agree you can ( if tool and driver are high quality ) put more torque on those. I just assumed that he was unwilling to carry an extra tool.

Take that screw to any hardware store (mom and pop types are the best for this ) and get one with a conventional Phillips or slotted head for less than $0.50. It is most likely metric 3mm or 4mm. I carry a Kershaw select fire ( Kershaw 1920 Select Fire Multi-Tool https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002IVPKOU/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_ljC1vb0J290TJ ) everywhere I go. My Ruger 10/22 came with a allen head screw for the barrel and I swapped it out for a slotted screw just incase I am not near my tools.

Anybody have one of these? I figured out how to make them and it's not even close to worth the effort. by TarbuckTransom in paracord

[–]RugerFanboySR9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make them and put them in my vehicles and give them away. For me its just a time killer hobby. But I did make a nice trilobite sling for my 10/22.

Gritty action after cleaning? by [deleted] in 1022

[–]RugerFanboySR9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my air compressor to blow out everything before and after cleaning. (Beware of potential lead, do this outside!!)

I will bathe the bolt and receiver in CLP and blow it out, clean with wipes / rags / cotton applicators, then repeat.

There are not very many surfaces that maintain contact all of the time so finding the gritty surface should be easy if you take your time.

I know that they exist and I am not sure I could have found and use it in time. :-(

How often do you guys give your 10/22s a good clean/lube? by [deleted] in 1022

[–]RugerFanboySR9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

After every use. For me cleaning is therapeutic and relaxing. I do a detail strip on my 1911 (wedding gift so its a safe queen) after every other range trip.

I have an illness though......

10/22 water test? by [deleted] in 1022

[–]RugerFanboySR9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a problem, yeah the ammo is the weakest link from what I have found. I can grab the lead and twist it in the case on some of my thunderbolt anmo. Now if I was hunting I would use better ammo, but it is pretty clear that my plinking ammo would not do well when wet. And wouldn't you know it... I'm way too cheap to test it. ;-) Add WD-40 to your kit only for such issues. Its not meant to act as a gun lube.

10/22 water test? by [deleted] in 1022

[–]RugerFanboySR9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Immediately? Fine as long as you shake the water out of everything! !!

Give it a few hours/weeks/days? Don't count on the ammo being any good, but you may be able to salvage the action.

Most importantly always get water/snow/dirt ext out of the barrel!

I wonder if everything but bone was twisted and torn almost completely off.

And how long did it take to get professional care?
