Mmmm, Methburgers.
I’ll take the McMeth with fries.
Harrumph.
Real men grill with charcoal, anyway!
Something nice to know.
Breaking? Really?
“*Note: Sherwood valves contain a green coated valve stem. Additionally, a green thread sealing compound is used on some valves. These valves should not be confused with those that have been exposed to anhydrous ammonia.”
Maybe Sherwood needs to change the color on their threads.
Not much meth manufacturing going on here in the Midwest anymore. That job has been outsourced to Mexico. They do it more cheaply and produce a much higher quality product.
Note that the use of methamphetamine has not dropped any, but we don't make it here in Indiana anymore!
"Speed Kills".
Speaking of blue rhinos, how's McCain doin'?
A few years ago the canisters in the exchange cages were getting stolen right and left in our area. The meth labs were really busy back then.
Ammonia (far less concentrated than anhydrous) in the form of ammonium hydroxide can, indeed precipitate cracking in brass.
I once used an ammonia-containing cleaner in a cartridge-case tumbler to "brighten up" some badly stained 9mm brass. It did the trick for shining up the brass. BUT -- as I was reloading them, I noticed several cracks in the cases. I was able to generate more cracks by running the cases through the resizing and taper-crimp dies.
I immediately trashed the entire batch of brass, so, fortunately, I did not discover any additional case cracks while shooting... :-)
