My nephew, a US Marne weapons specialist, just came home from iraq. thinking he was doing me a big favor he decided to tear down my $4,000 Stayer mannlicker Shonar sniper rifle. Each rifle part is made specifiic for that one gun. Lose the bolt, and it cost you almost $2,000 to have it replaced. machine fit for the gun. Guess what? Cant seem to get it all back together right. Not a darn thing wrong with it in the first place.
Then a couple of months ago i sold my 94 GMC Sonoma 4.3 liter custom pickup to a friend who had a new job and no transportation. Took a big loss as i sold it to him as a favor for $600. Not a darn thing wrong with it. Ran like a clock with 175,000 miles. He figured, gee , with all those miles he better tear it aprt and see whats going on inside. guess what? Cant seem to get the thing to run right , and called me to see if I could give him a lift to work
Plus, Im not one to fix anything if its not broken. Say what you want but after 32,000 miles my bike runs like a clock. you could eat off the engine its so clean even after a hard days ride. Not one darn thing even down to a turn signal light has gone bad. still running origional rear brake pads after 32,000 miles and only half worn. So, you spend all spring and summer with yours apart, in fear something might go wrong, Im going riding!
Ah, so all this started because you've had a bit of mental anguish? Hmmm. Let's see what I can blame this on
How about...?
My wife's 88 yr. old gandmother is dying in hospice, back in NC...
My wife's brother tried to commit suicide yesterday, back in NC...
My wife just booked a rather expensive last minute red-eye flight home on Saturday...
I just sold my muffler on eBay for a lot less than I had hoped...
I suggest that next time, you lock your rifle in a gun safe (along with your spare cam chain), and keep your pickup truck for hauling your Savage (when you really need the chain)
