But hey, I got that MRI referral to arrange for now.
Hard to blog. Distracted by the burning, charlie horse, sensation in my legs. Distracting. I wish I could get a nights sleep. So tired. Hooray, whinging. That always draws in the readers.

Buddy told me a story of woe with his FN pistol he got a year ago. Stove pipes a lot. When I hear about that malfunction my first thought goes to extract tension or some other extractor issue. I mean, it could be a lotta things, but that is the first, sorta-most-common, thing I check.
I know how to adjust the tension on a 1911. I don't even know how to disassemble the newer types extractor hooks on more modern designs. How to adjust that once disassembled? Cut a bit of the spring off? A loop or two? I'd have to do more research on that. A burr on the hook is another thing to look for. On new guns especially. When you are told to shoot a gun a lot to work it into reliability, and it does get more reliable, I kinda think this might be one of the things that is happening. You are wearing off the burrs on the machined bits. Something a good manufacturer should have already done. But even good makers might miss a spot.

Hooray! Got an imaging appt Monday.
I’d also wonder about proper lubrication.
