I would try the thin feeler gauge as popper suggests.
You should be able to twist the pin enough to see a bit of the ball, at that point hold the button in and insert the feeler gauge.

Perhaps the spring behind the button rusted and that is what's holding it up.
Try some Iron Out in the water for the ultrasonic.
There is an answer to this.

I would at least tie it to a tire and get back behind something and fire it a few times with a string.

There is absolutely no proof of eternal life, you just have to take it on faith.
There it is without all the bible quotes and what have you, either believe or you don't.

If enough people want them and are vocal about it, someone will make them.
As I said before, I prefer lever actions.

I have the same mold but have never used it yet.
I was wondering the same thing, I cast with wheel weights.
Not a shotgun guy but since I just bought a new CZ-USA Hammer Classic I may become one.

Just try the ultrasonic cleaner first, and give it plenty of time to work.
You can always send it in later if for some reason the ultrasonic does not work.
As writing this I am taking my own advice...

It does get some curious looks at the range.

Isn't it funny how they seem to meter out their "marks" perfectly for the entire walk.
After each mark Fofana does a little scratch dance that kind of reminds me of the Irish dance troupe "River...

My parents gave me a .410 for Christmas when I was a teenager, I never found it lacking for any reason. I shot rabbits, coons, possums, squirrels and pheasants.
Perhaps it didn't put as much lead in...

I took my Fofana for a walk today, I swear she peed over 100 times or at least tried to.

Beautiful rifle!
I would say, lucky man, but I doubt if luck had much to do with it.

Henry must have had requests for more than a "few hundred" to get them to put loading gates on their lever actions.
I would not have bought my Henry H010X .45-70 if it did not have a loading gate,...

I don't own a Taurus, but I have heard they have really cleaned up their act lately.

Henry does respond to customer wishes. They started putting loading gates on their rifles in response to customer input.
If they get enough people asking for it, they just might do it.
