I found that the tip of my sks barrel is the same way. I cleaned it up after shooting it last, but I guess I missed the end of the barrel. It took a little scrubbing, but it's clean now.
T4 has a good idea. I used something different, but in the same way.
That is a really cool gun. The lever action is so engaging for the shooter. Like a pump shotgun, there's a process involved in getting it ready to fire, and I love that process.
Right back at you, man.
It's so nice to be off the pain meds, and able to walk around and talk to people again. August was a write off for me, but the trip to your store the other day was just what I needed to get back into life again.
And here's the result.
I was at Wanstalls a couple months ago, looking for some 10/22 bits. I was thinking I could buy a basic trigger kit for about $50 and fit it all in. They only had the full blown Dlask trigger kit for $300. Now, I would have bought it because it's the last piece I need to build a new 10/22 from spare parts. Problem was, it was missing a couple minor pieces to complete my parts gun. I checked into those parts, and found that it would be cheaper for me to buy a 10/22 for parts.
The 10/22 world is completely fucked. But they're a lot of fun to shoot.
