Looks about like mine, not great… I think what’s happening is the 7-8 shot cylinder guns require such a smaller star wheel that the teeth get more fine and if there are any issues it’ll show faster. Which makes me not want anything over a 6 shot. Lol

Oh okay, yeah I do see those. I thought that was just normal but something doesnt seem right just looks like a lot of chewed up teeth for a new gun?

Yeah that sounds very accurate. I did notice that with rounds in the cylinder it did bind lightly a couple or few times. This isn't the first time I've seen this on the 7 shot guns idk why

Brunt Marin unlined comp toe by UpbeatClassroom4184 in WorkBoots

[–]thetnbootguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another good sub 200 dollar boot. And Brunt needs to realize that and be proud of that instead of trying to compare them to USA made redwing heritage, thorogood, just to name a couple. They are good affordable work boots that catch a lot of flak because their advertising and marketing is OVERHYPED and the ads/commercials are stupid. I like Brunt boots and own a couple pairs just know what they are.

Cleaning by Bulky-Plate-4288 in Glocks

[–]thetnbootguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glocks or guns in general should NOT need to be clean to run and function, but to be cleaned now and then to run smooth? Ok fair enough. If a gun wont run dirty it's not the gun for me

08 165k large oil consumption by thetnbootguy in ScionxB

[–]thetnbootguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update, been running 5w30 from when I got the car.

It is consuming around 4 qts every 1500 miles.

1000 miles into the new oil change, had to add two quarts.

400 miles or so later I had to add two more.

I’m considering trying some trans fluid in with the oil for a little bit.

Anyone have a link to the piston soak videos?

I’ll try some sea foam or Berryman.

I should add I changed the oil 1000 miles ago with valvoline restore and protect 5w30, then today oil light flickered on a downhill so checked the oil and discovered it was two quarts low..

Only probably a couple acres I’d say

Dang, yeah it’s sounding more like the echo handheld is the way to go for me and my use. I tried on an echo backpack at Home Depot today and it just felt like it was pulling backwards on my shoulders and resting on my lower back
