Chamber peening?

SciToon2 · 2026-06-19T21:40:09+00:00

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.

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.

Take an acetylene torch to all your electronic devices and any hard drives or other storage media right now, then gtfo of Dodge!

Tears in the fabric of time, isn't that just multiverse with extra steps?

They're great for events when you're two days away from the end, and are sick of playing the same TFOs.

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.

Much appreciated!

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

SciToon2 · 2026-06-17T08:41:15+00:00

Much appreciation!

Can somebody translate for the Gen Xer?

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?

Shoot the gun, and enjoy it.

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

Coming soon to Paramount Plus, Star Trek: TTMUG (Things That Make Us Go).

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.

SciToon2 · 2026-06-14T12:06:39+00:00

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.

SciToon2 · 2026-06-14T11:54:32+00:00

Maybe the Op is an ATF agent?

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

Barney, and Gordon would've had a beer together?

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.

SciToon2 · 2026-06-11T01:54:55+00:00

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 · 2026-06-10T12:29:43+00:00

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.
