And you can't make yourself one from a drill rod, right?lost the pin that held the cylinder in on a chipa 22. Now it’s just a paperweight. Contacted them multiple times to get a replacement. Even googled one for sale. No luck. Cost more to have one machined then it’s worth.
I wish it’s more complicated. I’ll try to find the part and post it.And you can't make yourself one from a drill rod, right?
Now that's funny! Now if only someone would invent a brass magnet...Ironically a range finder. Luckily the club owner picked them up and gave me a call.
Hey at least it would've been in good hands though!I remembered an “almost”thinking about this thread last night. To endeavor to condense the back story, The one “range” I use a lot is on a buddy’s property. (He has steel set up at all the hundreds) I have access to 887 yards just for the asking (and maybe chasing the cows away)and a little help with chores. His reloading room is in the same outbuilding that his shooting bench is in. He gave me space on his reloading bench to put a set of quick change brackets so I can do load development as well. So… one of the last times I was there shooting, I was in the car backing down the drive and realized that the big RIDGID toolbox wasn’t on the back seat… that had all my test data, my press, my 308 die set, calipers, 75 new primed Lapua brass… ya… that was my really close call… I have since made a checklist that I look at before I leave… there is a reason they are In cockpits after all…
Yikes, If I left my super customized Remington 700 at the local range I would hope someone like you would find it and turn it in to the range staff.Some guy left a scoped Remington 700 bolt action rifle in the lane next to me. I turned it into the range officer, who turned it into the cops.
This is slightly off topic but my dad said one time in his police career, one of the new recruits kept forgetting to check the back seat of his Crown Vic after each shift for contraband and such, so his FTO made him take the back seat out and carry it with him every time they went to eat for lunch!When I was in Basic Training, Fort Ord California, we were supposed to keep our M16's with us all the time. At one range, a fellow trainee left his M16 leaning up against the wall in the communal pit toilet shed. He went back to find it and it was gone. Turns out it was thrown down into the pit toilet, according to one rumor by the DIs. He had to climb down in there to get it out and then he had to clean it...
