Left and middle are 9mm Underwood 115gr JHP, right is standard Federal 115gr FMJ. The one of the left did not fire and has what looks to be a solid hit on the primer. The center looks like the firing pin barely touched it and it functioned normally. The Federal(R) has the same primer strike as the first UW round and functioned fine. Every round of Federal functioned as it should, primer strikes were all the same. For the Underwood some looked normal, some looked like a light strike and it was random which ones would fire and which wouldn't. Anyone else have experience with this in their 941R? The IMI/MR FS in particular.

edit: the left and right casings switched.

Follow up to my post about getting a new trigger. Went with the Schmid 2 stage 4.5lb Nickel Boron, and so far i like the feel quite a lot. Also changed out the grip to a magpul with the adjustable back strap. That extra half inch is really nice for these old hands.

As stated, the original milspec trigger feels like crap. Would something like a Triggertech Duty single stage 5.5lb or an RA single stage with 4.5lb pull. Thoughts? I'm also trying to keep this budget friendly, under $150.

Had some rodents build a nest under the engine cover on my lawnmower and they chewed through the auto stop wire. The only way to get access to said wire is to remove the flywheel. I followed the instructions to the letter. Lined up the marks for the gear puller, put some tension on it with a ratchet and gave it some taps with a deadblow and it didn't release so I put a bit more tension on it and heard that sound that only cast aluminum makes when it cracks. And it cracked right at the magnet. Easy enough fix but maddening none the less.

I got the lawnmower 9 years ago, and it has never so much as hesitated to start aside from after sitting all winter. After that, first pull start every time. Just for kicks and giggles I figured it's been 9 years so I may as well change the spark plug and this is what it looked like(R) compared to a new one(L). Is this normal for being that old? I use full synthetic oil changed before first cut of the year, and ethanol free canned gas. Front and back yard combined is roughly 4000sqft.
