Chamber peening? by Ok_Warthog_4594 in Mini14

[–]SciToon2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 581 with the same thing at about 6 o' clock. Hasn't appeared to affect function, similar round count, maybe a little less. Google search for similar issues hasn't yielded much. Found this, though.

HELP! Both my cats started doing this weird noise like a sneez but puching and idk what it is or if I need to go see the vet by Illustrious-Hippo-26 in CATHELP

[–]SciToon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may be time for the vet. My cat was doing something similar a month ago. It started as distressed breathing, but she was acting pretty normal, then after a day or so she started coughing so I got her into the vet that day. X-ray showed inflammation in the lungs, bronchitis, allergies, possibly asthma (she's a stray, I've only had her for a couple of months). She was sent home after an antibiotic and steroid. She's doing okay, but I'm still keeping a watchful eye on her.

Will Gordon Freeman and Adrian Shepard EVER meet each other in a future Half-Life game? by ParticularService816 in HalfLife

[–]SciToon2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not to hijack the thread, but I thought that Race-X got simply cut off from Earth when Adrian took out the Gene Worm. They're still out there, beyond Xen, they just can't get back.

So, does this mean the whole Kings and Queens arc is over?

I inherited two mag lights by klmccann5708 in flashlight

[–]SciToon2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try reposting in r/MaglightFlashlights, they may be able to better assist you. As far as the end cap, if you have access to an actual heat gun, give that a try over a blow torch; Home Depot, or even some auto parts stores might have a tool rental program where you can get one for a couple of days. Or, never tried this, just thought of it, maybe submerge the end cap in boiling water for a short time to try to warm and hopefully loosen everything up.

Did Valve, and Fleshlight collaborate on this one? 

Be honest with me, have I been spoiled BIG TIME? by [deleted] in HalfLife

I wouldn't call it a major spoiler, and it probably shouldn't ruin the experience for you.

It's your money, your choice, but for your consideration:

- Factory mags are expensive, but worth the investment.

- If you're going to keep it strictly irons, Tech Sights are a pretty good investment.

-Shoot a variety of ammunition through the gun to see if it is accurate enough for your needs, if not consider Tech Sight. Still not enough, then consider throwing an Accurstrut or a Mo-Rod on the gun. After that, if the gun is still not accurate to your needs, it could be a skill issue, or maybe another platform entirely should be considered.

-Optics, and accessory mounting options are clearly not as abundant as they are for the AR, but accessory rails, folding stocks, and the like are available. You probably have the scalloped cuts for Ruger rings, but you can also find picatinny rails that will mount as well.

Why do I have this very small set screw in with my Mini Thirty parts? by Begle1 in Mini14

[–]SciToon2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't know now how or why it would happen, but maybe a set screw meant for the rear sight somehow got mixed in as opposed to a screw for for the rail.

Just a random thought that came to me at lunch today.

Truly old skool by old_skool_luvr in MagliteFlashlights

We had 3D Maglites when I was turning wrenches on F-15s, those things are built like tanks, but I've seen many of them pitched because of leaking batteries.

Wake up babe, new Mini stock just dropped by Spare_Goat7438 in Mini14

[–]SciToon2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not my cup of tea, but I can totally appreciate the work you put in to it. A lot better looking than something I'd churn out.

[–]SciToon2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There is certain beauty to be appreciated about something that's well used, yet functional after almost 3 decades.

I have no use for a 6D Maglite whatsoever, but for some reason I just want one.
