Well, one misfire. But found out the gun needs cleaning, the cartridges are not easily dropping in the cylinder bores.
SA still runs fine, (sample size one cylinder), DA had one misfile which went bang on the second try.
I'll clean the gun and try again, and may also try shimmying to 0.3mm after that.
I will also post up pics of the hammer, breech, etc to see if one of you spots something. This might be as soon as tomorrow,
Long video (3:30) from the test firing, have a good laugh at least watching me fumble with getting rounds in and out, and forgetting if I was trying to shoot DA or SA:
On edit: The second strike on the last round was exactly on top of the first strike.

Update:
Alibaba delivered. On time, as promised, and my payment account has not been hacked.
Dimensions are as advertised, I checked both sizes:
And installed a 0.2mm washer:
This was so much easier than buying shim stock and cutting and drilling my own part. Next up, does this solve the problem and does the gun run well now... Will update again soon.

Yes, abolutely.
With that clear, I understand you as the lawyer can not lie or misrepresent truth, your job is to represent your client as best possible.
So if you know Alpo killed Hoffa, you can not claim he did not nor can you allow Alpo to testify he did not. You can, however, maybe bring in mitigating factors such as self-defense or something else which would tend to show the killing was not criminal as long as you did not know those claims were also false.
But if Alpo told you he just chose to stand over Hoffa and empty his gun center-of-mass because Alpo simply did not like him... How would you represent him? I also do not think you are allowed to tell the judge you can not represent Alpo because he is a lying murderer.
Please correct me where I am wrong.

Looks like it’s California and Canada compliant. But then, there’s someone who’ll think it should be banned because of “the thing that goes up in the back”.
If it replaces a banned item, it will be banned for being a replacement for a banned item.
Consider thumbhole stocks, which complied with the non-effective Federal ban, and are now on every ban list. Yes, something the Fed did not ban is now on every ban list.

On one forum I was on, we resorted to "roostering" our pistols. It became a running gag.
Then they made me an admin and I fixed it.

The second amendment is a restriction on the government not arms.

I think it would be perfectly constitutional for the Fed in coordination with the States to require every member of the Militia (law abiding adults and probably green card holders) to prove possession of and competence with arms on some regular basis. This does seem to be within the authority of the Fed and the States.
On edit: Not to create a gun registry, but to focus on those with no arms or training, to establish conformance with a possession requirement and prove safe handling. Every member!
Mommies would squirm...

Regulated meant "in good working order." And referred to the militia. It was trained, practiced, reliable. The 2nd was not refining to the arms being regulated, and it did not envision restrictions on its membership.

I created a "firearms" folder and a filter rule. Lots of different vendors go into it.
Every now and then when I need something, I'll look at the most recent and delete all the old ones.
On some, I go tune my preferences for what I want to get, or unsubscribe Links at the bottom of the mail.
On edit: I get over two dozen different ones a day.

Taylor Swift flew in her personal jet from Japan to Las Vegas to see her boyfriend play in the Super Bowl. Then she hopped back on the jet and flew to Australia for her next concert. I don't want to hear any environmental tree hugging carbon credit trash come out of her mouth.
There is a lot of backlash against her from the climate community, much of it due to her suing some dude who posts celebrity flight information. Anyway, a balanced article:
https://www.newsweek.com/climate-advocates-need-calm-down-about-taylor-swifts-jet-opinion-1861170
And I did leave concrete out of my list above. Curing concrete creates a lot of CO2. Not sure tarmac is better overall, but tarmac is at least a good use of left-over thick oily crud. It at least makes sense to use it for paving rather than burying it and making that much more concrete.
None of this is simple, and there are problems. Taylor may be a lighting rod at the moment, but using 17X the resources compared to a single-family home just does not warrant a focus on her.

As my contribution to help the planet, I do not drive this in the rain:
Further, when I do drive it, I prefer to drive along forested roads so the generous amount of CO2 can feed the trees.
And cars and planes aside, container ships put out a lot more bad stuff.

Seems like school management is shooting itself in the foot.
Further, the list is not complete, far from being lock, stock, and barrel.
They also need to take more careful aim in determining possible solutions.
Wow, these sentences almost write themselves, in a semi-automatic way.

What would be wrong with putting them into the garbage, where they end up deep in the landfill? I would have thought of that before the idea of flushing them. Flushing seems non-obvious to me....
Many landfills still leach into groundwater. As to proper disposal, it really seems to depend.
One county near me has boxes at police stations. Another county has boxes at some pharmacies. Yet another county has roughly annual drop-offs (often in a grocery store parking lot).
When I lived on the wrong coast, I could drop them off at a periodic toxics collection event (motor oil, paint, insecticides); The drugs were collected on entry to the event, just hand over a bag.
But sharps are different in all locations. Some drug stores sell mailers, plus paying for postage. One county near me suggests using a bleach bottle with a little remaining bleach. Put the sharps in the bottle, cap it, and throw it in the trash... Not sure this is the best idea, but the assumption is sharps from blood sugar testing and expired insulin.
One hospice situation, we brewed a pot of coffee at the request of the county responder (coroner) to get a basket of grounds. The county responder put all of the remaining morphine (after verifying logs) into the grounds, and that went into the kitchen garbage.
Best and easiest to just call and ask.

Why not require annual fee-based registration to vote (poll tax)?
And while we are at it, a 1st Amendment registration for any and all Internet accounts one intends to post on, in order to keep the 1st Amendment safe for all? In particular, anyone who is a journalist that may or intends to publish articles or reports or opinions should not just register, but annually provide a list of all published works.

Check your address in Google and other maps applications.
My house address showed as my barn. I updated the location, delivery services no longer have to back up several hundred feet.

At my first Cowboy shoot in proper dress, I forgot to take off my hat for the prayer and pledge (my apologies).
Since then, I have taken it off. Nobody said anything to me then, it only happened because I just do not usually wear a hat.
If I were to see someone else not remove their's, I can't see saying something to them as my first action... I just would strive to be a good role model.

Repair Advice Appreciated H&R Top-Break 22lr
in SASS Wire Saloon
Posted
Just felt like getting out of the house, I can shoot in my yard.
But all things considered, 2 cylinders of .22lr combined with the drive to the range was enough for today. I'll post up a bit on this in a new thread. I think I'll title it "A Good Day To Be Alive."
