He was certainly a source of frustration to my Reds in 70.

Public ranges? PUBLIC RANGES? We don't need no stinkin' public ranges.
If you want to slide by here I have target frames and targets.
Well this is the range at which I spent a lot of time becoming a Range Safety Officer and can shoot there for free, so while I might find another place to shoot at temporarily, I'm anxious for it to open back up again for many reasons.
Thanks for the invite @simon1 ! I'll have to make do with my suppressed .22s on my property for now.
I really don’t know. It’ll fire, cycle out the shell, and then load in the new round but I’ll need to rack it a bit to push the round into battery.
its frustrating.
Magazine problem? Lubrication problem?
Try a deep cleaning of the chamber.

Well, the S&W 642 is on hold for a bit. I have been wanting to replace the vinyl siding on my gable ends with Hardie Plank for a while. With business being slow right now, they made me an offer that was hard to say no too. Work starts in 4-6 weeks (I got the boards that have the baked on paint finish), but with the 50% down I paid I locked in the price. I’m pretty excited about it. Due to wife’s health, medical bills, etc, some things have been neglected for a while. It is going to be nice to start being proud of my humble abode again.
If these don't work, I'd start looking at gas regulation or buffer spring/tube. Could be a small crease in the aluminum gas tube or there might be some type of metal burring inside the buffer spring tube which could be catching the spring after recoil, when the spring is trying to return the bolt to battery.
these would be a couple of simple QC issues to look for.
An off topic from me:
The other day I got my final step pay increase. I can go no higher as a journeyman Officer. Now I was a supervisor for 5 years but hated every moment of it. I am now a GS12 Step 10.
More than 33 years in and more to go.

I repurposed a General's Hot Sauce bottle the other day ...

I saw that and thought “Fire in the hole.”
Re Fire in the hole:
Long long ago in a land far far away, back when the Scott Air Packs were just getting introduced, I was helping teach a smoke house drill where you entered the smoke house, crawl up until you are right at the fire, point the nozzle straight up and open it for a quick burst. The result is steam that cuts off all the air to the fire and it instantly goes out.
It was the third or fourth set I had led that day and as always, the key point was to keep the folk from opening up the line before you got to the point where you could create the steam and shut stuff down. It was a constant steam of "Now?"; "Not Yet!" until a hand swiped my face mask wiping off all the grime to show the half barrel source about 6" away.
"Now!"
Range is still closed...I'm told because the USFS is at some issue with cleaning the outdoor restroom (all steel chemical toilet). Have a Kahr which I have not shot round one through yet.
I found an awesome cover of C'mon Eileen by Sarah Bareilles and Sugarland.
Worth a click, but now I want Metallica to cover "99 Luftballons" by Nena.
In German, of course. The video will feature a massive WWI zeppelin attack on England. Dark; very dark.

Happy Memorial day as we celebrate the sacrifices made by our veterans!

C'mon! "The Bottle of Britain " is pretty clever.

I agree, unlike no small number of German tourists who got up on their hind legs over Spitfire’s advertisement posters
