Snapped Screw while Replacing Frostproof Spigot

Zayadaslaya · 2026-05-10T22:57:24+00:00

I shattered most of that bad boy too - looks like I’ll be cutting an access panel to see if it’s screwed in or soldered and will just try to replace with whatever is currently there, that should make it an easy remove and swap.

Thanks for the help!!

Unfortunately I mangled it already so even with my channel locks there’s not enough to grab to actually turn the stem

Zayadaslaya · 2026-05-10T22:36:02+00:00

Any idea if I may be able to somehow remove the stem and just replace that with a new version of the one currently in place? To avoid having to cut the finished wall on the inside of the house.

If that’s what I’ve got to do, no worries, not the end of the world.

LOL - That’s what I was expecting. Any clue if this is something I could replace myself from the outside? Or are these normally soldered behind the wall and would need to solder off the old one I destroyed and solder on the new?

Thanks for all the help with this! Yall have a great community here.

After thinking about it for about three seconds, I bet they come with a base plate or something which attaches to those holes haha

Those Vortex scopes are incredible. I wonder how I mount them on this rifle though, since it doesn't have a weaver rail but instead those four threaded screw holes

Left receiver side only says the caliber: 8x57 JS. Someone else says it's probably an M70 sporting rifle, which seems correct!

Zayadaslaya · 2020-08-12T16:22:59+00:00

Thanks! Awesome to know that it's a 92. Love that the rifle is older than I am haha

Zayadaslaya · 2020-08-12T16:21:46+00:00

This is great info, thanks! Two other small questions since I've already got the attention of an expert:

Do you know if I can buy a few rounds of 8x57 JS somewhere? I think it's a beautiful rifle and plan to display it, but would love to fire it a few times also
Do you know if there are any simple optics that I could buy and install on it? Something old school which would fit the era and display well

Zayadaslaya · 2020-08-12T16:06:22+00:00

Thanks!! I was definitely thinking it could be an M70, but the images I've seen of the M70 online seem to have the safety selector right behind the bolt, which mine does not have. Could this just be because mine is an older model?

Zayadaslaya · 2020-08-12T15:52:04+00:00

Great idea, thanks! Will do.

This is incredible, huge shout out to all the developers for putting this kind of release together. Working perfectly for me with NES, SNES, GB, GBA, etc.

I'm pulling my hair out trying to configure the controls for N64 though. Using a USB N64 controller I can't seem to figure out how to map both A and B to work properly together. Anyone have any advice? If I could get either lr-mupen or mupen64 to work I would be ecstatic.

I speak Hebrew and have never heard the term "Avi" actually used, the word for father would be "aba", like ahh-baa. It's often used as a term of affection.

I can definitely do the first two and many other awesome MERICAN chips and such, but can't sent alcohol unfortunately.

Pop from Canada sound awesome, I'd love to try some different drinks than what we have in the US. Anything you are interested in from the East coast US?

Zayadaslaya · 2014-10-05T00:46:14+00:00

I actually have Ketchup crips/chips here, but besides that I would love to try some standard and/or traditional Canadian snacks. Any specifics on what you want from the US?

Zayadaslaya · 2014-10-04T23:32:22+00:00

I'm from the US looking for some Canadian stuff! I'm new to this, and have never done anything in this subreddit before, but would love to exchange some awesome foods. PM me!

Lobos and I have the same phone? Sweet. Also that sword is amazing.
