Yeah, I highly doubt I’ll need it, and if I do once or twice maybe, but who knows?
Yes, I’ve been mostly vacant for over 9 years now. We had moved from San Antonio to a little town outside of Austin. There aren’t any outdoor ranges nearby and had to drive over an hour one way to another small town. I only went once in that time! But we’ve moved back and my favorite old range (among 3 close enough) is just a hop, skip, and jump away again.
I took my nephews shooting as the 19 year old was excepted into the Air Force so we wanted him to shoot the Sig P320 (ended up with a Glock), and I brought my Remington NMA. That’s when the loading lever pin key falling out at the range. I got home to find my nipple wrench missing, my cleaning storage tub leaking, and I apparently didn’t see the tiny screw that holds the hand to the hammer and it’s in the yard with my cleaning water. I did take a big magnet and tried, but now have a shipment of springs and that screw coming from EMF. My wife asked if this means I’ll be shooting again. Yes indeed it does! I intend to go once a month like before, though I’ll likely be there more often once I get back into practice and can begin working on my most accurate loads for my Rem and Ruger and can then figure out how much space to fill in with lead for a final custom universal bullet. Oh, I love that smell!!
