2 weeks ago they predicted 6-10, we got none. This past Sunday we got about 6", just enough to pull out the snowblower again. Today was low 40s, tomorrow high 40s and Friday in the 50s. Saturday starts as rain and may turn to snow again.
WTF!!!
Was installing that exact spring and detent while sitting at my kitchen table once. Something slipped and zoom gone! There was a clatter against the wall in an alcove about 10 ft away so I went and looked, cussing the entire time because of course, no replacement in the house. Lo and behold I found both of the little fukkers! I almost felt like buying a lotery ticket that day.
Oh yeah! A 42" mounted to the front of my riding mower. I did mine and 2 neighbor's driveways. When spring finally gets here the blower comes off and the mower goes on.
The one thing you cannot quiet down is the SLAM of the action as it rams home into the breech. I don't hear the sliding of the greased spring inside the buffer tube at all when I pull the trigger on my suppressed 300 BLK, but the clack of the action is loud enough that I can't tell how quiet the shot actually is. Someone standing a few feet away sure can, but they don't have the action slamming back and forth next to their ear.
I woke up yesterday to -11 F, the high was +1. Today it started at -8. Tomorrow the high is supposed to be in the 30s. Yo Yo temperature swings these days
