Re: LED Lights for Off-Road or Winding Country Roads

I replaced my headlight bulbs with the Sylvania Silver Star Ultra bulbs. They improved over what I had. I still need more light on the road in deer country. I have a 1997 Dodge Ram 4x4 and I'm unable to find LED fog light housings that fit my bumper. The few options that I find are reviewed as being...

Re: LED Lights for Off-Road or Winding Country Roads

Certainly handy for seeing off road, and on rural roads with little traffic. But, around here the duck-tards leave them on all the time. They should be wired into the High Beam circuit. The Sylvania SilverStar Ultra bulbs are a great replacement for the quartz-halogen bulbs if your rig didn't come ...

Marlin 57 extractor tension ?

Im attempting to resolve a feeding issue with a Marlin 57 22lr. The bolt is not engaging the rim of the cartridge as its lifted out of the magazine and pushed up by the cartridge lifter. The right and left extractors have very different spring pressure. The one on the ejection port side is very stif...

Marlin 57 22lr wont cycle and chamber rounds reliably.

The yellow magazine follower is crooked a bit.
The cartridge lifter doesn't push the rim of the shell high enough to line up for chambering .i oiled the internals best i could without disassembling .
I am guessing some springs may be weak but Numerige is out of stock.
Advise ?

Hypebaric treatment in a chamber can be of help in cases of gangrene and low oxygen levels. Can improve chances of not loosing any more appendages. Sometimes insurance is reluctant to pay but I think gangrene is covered in most cases.
