well, have not shot it, thank god, I found a problem.

the drum is in awful shape. in case of problems I went on and ordered a couple drums from track of the wolf. 2.50 each.

been pming back and forth with fg on the matter. nothing so far has worked.

tryed break free, levering it with a flat head (broke the flat head), boiling it, and the extreme, took a torch to it.

gotta get to an auto store or hardware to get some liquid wrench. have not tryed that yet.

any other ideas?

I am going to call cva sometime tomorrow on it and see what they can do. and see how much it will cost.
