cayugad quote, "I was told some people store the rifles without the spring in place which I think is a good idea and I am going to start doing that once I figure a way not to loose it."

I was thinking about this just this morning. The spring sitting there compressed month after month, will weaken it. Probably go a million or morerounds if they are relaxed when not being used. I just made up a ML range box out of a toolbox I bought on sale a while ago. I think I will just put the springs in the top of it. Right next to the caps. If I forget the toolbox, I'm out of luck anyway.

OK, I have to confess. Saturday, I was so excited to go shooting. I is probably about 15 miles to the hill where I shoot. You know where this is going already don't you? Yes, I got there with the boys, got the target put up and it hit me right in the face. Forgot the caps!!!!!!!!! I was NOT going to wait a week to shoot these things, so I drove home, got the caps and drove back. Yes, it was worth it.

sabotloader, when I removed the breech plugs after shooting, I am not sure that the tape actually made the seal where you talk about. It did not look like the picture you sent me. I just used the cheap white tape. Is the pink any different?
