Dang!I sprayed out the innards of a Marlin 60 with brake cleaer.
The trigger group turned to black goo and welded itself to the receiver.
Bother.
The most stupid thing I ever did was marry my first wife. She got the kids, my car, the bank account, my guns and the furniture. I got my clothes and all our debt. That was almost 50 years ago and I am still cussing myself for letting her have the kids....I know that all of us have a list of stupid things that we have done. Let's come clean and have a few laughs. I could write a book on this subject.
I suspect that's what my brother-in-law did to his Marlin Camp 9; I had to rebuild the trigger/magazine group for him.I sprayed out the innards of a Marlin 60 with brake cleaer.

As I recall, those vehicles did not have fuses for the headlights. The headlights were on a circuit breaker with bi-metal contacts that would pop when over heated and would re-connect as they cooled. On a cold winter day (or night) they could (and often did) flicker when there was a short/unwanted ground. Ran into this multiple times as an Air Force General Purpose Vehicle Maintenance dude in the mid-seventies. AFSC 47252. If it was painted blue and had wheels, I probably fixed it.... At least once.70s vintage F-150 (I don't know if those trucks had only one fuse for both hi and lo beams, but apparently they were without illumination, whatever.)
