Yeah, shoot....he must have had a brief illness or sudden crisis. I had been missing him since mid-September.
I finally bought some of that Mercury Outboard Quicksilver 2 cycle racing oil Les recommended and used on his guns based upon it's ability to cut carbon, especially 22's. I haven't been able to try it yet but I actually got around to it and bought some. When I do try it I won't be able to relay to him how it works on my dirty 22's....really sad.
