I removed the barrel from the chopped receiver by soaking it in a mixture of brake fluid and acetone for about 10 hours. After that, I simply turned the barrel counterclockwise, and it came off easily.

The early 1st gen FCGs did not incorporate the flat spring for the safety lever. It was added in the 2nd gen FCGs.

So, I have modified the fire control group from the first to the second generation while leaving another trigger group unchanged.

I have two Russian SKS trigger groups, and both were missing the lever spring. Initially, I thought the springs were broken, so I installed a safety lever spring on one of the trigger groups. Eventually, I began to think it wasn't a coincidence, so I searched for answers online.
I quickly found that the Russians use two different trigger groups: one designed without a spring and the other that includes one.

After a thorough adjustment, the 75-round drum magazine is now securely installed and ready for use. It wasn't a plug-and-play piece.

I'm just low key impressed that Joe Biden managed to outlive him.

I thought for sure he would go a few weeks ago when in hospice care.  I think I am more or at as surprised he was able to be released and make apparencies than him dying at this point. 

Not a catholic, but maybe this time they can elect a pope who is?

Heard some guy named Rabinowitz is leading the field.

Waiting for white smoke.
