New to the forum, if this question has been previously answer excuse this question.

 

In June 25, 2008 Philippe posted that he was going to soon post an article on "turning the Russkit 22 into a beast"... for under $3. Does anyone remember this article and if it was ever posted and could you lead me to it.

 

Thanks much,


Daryl Payne

Hello Daryl,

 

Whooo, that was quite a while ago! Not sure if that was ever done, likely because of non-stop pressing issues ever since!

 

With inflation, might be $15 now... :)

 

Seriously, at this time, simply too much on my plate... :(

Easy... install a Russkit "23" endbell, melt down the stock one to use for making a candle scented with "eau du brûler des déchets pétroliers #5." Replace the can bushing and sell the candle on eBay for big bucks. The profit should bring total expenditures within the $3 range or so.

 

 Sorry for taking the thread sideways... sometimes I just can't help myself (and nice to see you around, Philippe!).
