I have not fixed the lock nor figured out what is in the barrel.

jess told me to send the whole thing to fg. I am going to do it. he is going to brown the barrel and do the work for me.

i have a bid on ebay for a lock that ends tomorrow. If i lose, I think I know what is wrong with it and I'll buy the part for it.

oh ya, I lost the wedge pin for it.[:@]

ordered a new one and something else for my sks.

murphy will not go away. most likely I'll find the one I lost after i get the new one in.
