In lalaland, that is Ottawa.
I bought a set of TSR200 Sights for my Ruger 10/22 carbine a while ago from High Calibre Service Corp in Mission, B.C.

The sights installed very easily with no problem.

Through carelessness on my part, I lost several very small steel parts of the front sight. I asked HICAL if they would order them from Tech Sights with their next order to the US firm.

Last week, I received the replacements after a delay well within a reasonable time frame.

Now, to give a hint of how I lost these small pieces, I am advising anyone installing or for that matter handling any small steel parts to use a magnet to hold the parts before they decide to escape! :redface:

It is still not too late for me to learn to do the obvious!;)
 
Dave was great when one of the 2 PC extractors I ordered showed up missing from its baggy. The spring and leaflet were there but no extractor. He double checked that I checked for it in the box then had one out the door to me right away. No whining, no dodging or spewing excuses. Just a friendly chat and replacement part ASAP. Hical is what customer service should be. I can only think of a few CGN sponsors that can match their service, and even fewer Canadian companies in general. Those tech-sights are a great upgrade for the 10/22.
 
Gravity can be cruel and humorous all at the same time.
I have a great deal of respect for turtles and I guess snakes too.
They have a pretty good eye level for finding dropped kibble and bits.

Now the biggee question........yu gonna delete this thread too?........:D

Well, Looky I am too old to play a turtle or a snake, but I was certainly down at floor level in the work shop with a very strong magnet which went through all floor sweepings and the shop vac bag.f:P:2:

Coming now to your question, I will not delete this. In deleting the other stuff, I was making a silent statement that I am also too old to waste my precious time nattering with others below the belt, and by that I mean, the OFF Topic section. I know who my friends are in CGN and they know that I know. To them that may read this, I say :wave:.

In closing this off, it will be rare for me to post in the Off Topics area.

As well, I am no longer a self styled "curmudgeon" as stated in the details that I have provided about myself.:)

Right about now I'm fast approaching the point where, if I'm down on my hands and knees looking for something, I try and think of anything else that I might need to do while I'm down there.

+1 to that.Sometimes it's seems to take forever to stand up again,So you might as well find something else to do while you are there.

You are sir! Just don't expect anyone to pin on a medal.

It is one thing to age and become crotchety but the challenge is to grow old with Grace and mellow like fine cognac or scotch. This is the state that I am trying to achieve.:redface:

One possible technique is to never complain, never explain. I've found that the more that I try and explain, the more I get in trouble, with my family and even here on CGN...:rolleyes:

Well, in my case, if I am under the dining room table, I try and find peskey pills or tablets that were successful in escaping from being swallowed:redface:
