Re: [MBZ] Check engine light on 250 GLK Bluetec SUV

[Allan Streib via Mercedes]

I'm actually only assuming Advance Auto will do this. I know Autozone
does, and it's free.

Loose gas cap can cause it, at least in gasoline cars. Not sure about a
diesel. Just realize that it may take some time for the light to go out
even if that's the problem. It take a certain amount of time with no
faults before the light goes out.

Advance Auto can pull the code and tell you what it means. This will be
an OBD-II code, which are standard across all cars. So you'll have a
pretty good idea of what the problem is, but there may be more detailed
diagnostic information available to a mechanic who has the factory scan
tools (Star scanner).

[MBZ] Check engine light on 250 GLK Bluetec SUV

[Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes]

I've driven my 2014 250 GLK Bluetec for about 2k miles since early April.
I just noticed yesterday that the "check engine" icon was lit.  This is a
generic, non-specific alert that the owner'smanual says I must get
professionally evaluated.  The vehicle is behaving normally in every regard.

I hesitate to take the car into the dealership for what they might tell
me...  so I would probably ask my indy tech if he had the computer hookup
to do the testing...  Or would Advance Auto lend me a diagnostic tool so I
can self-evaluate the issue that has caused the check engine light to

[MBZ] ***SPAM*** RE: OT: Skeet with prizes!

[Greg Fiorentino via Mercedes]

I got one of the C-note Norincos with the AK style mags. For such an 
inexpensive weapon I was surprised to see the heavily chrome-lined chamber and 
bore. It looks like it willtake plenty of abuse.

Nice. That could be fun.

The youngest son and I were trying out our sporting clay club’s new rifle range 
today. 100 yards long, which is nice.

I took my Yugoslavian SKS and the youngster took his new Remington 700 
chambered in 300 magnum. Needless to say he has a very sore shoulder. I do not, 
as the SKS was hitting steels flawlessly with minimal recoil. Gotta love those 
stripper clips.

Lots of fun was had by all.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Skeet with prizes!

[Dan Penoff via Mercedes]

Yugo and Russian versions did not have chrome plated bores. There’s a fair 
amount of consternation over this historically, as the Yugoslavians had the 
resources available in country to do the chrome plating. However, at the time 
there were plenty of government run factories keeping people employed, so the 
general consensus is that it was easier to just replace them with a new barrel 
if they wore out and keep the masses busy.

I have no idea how much wear mine has, but it appears to be tight if I run a 
gauge through it. It certainly shoots very straight.

I thought about disassembling it and refinishing the wood, but I sort of like 
the”beater” look it has. After a good day of shooting there will be some oil on 
the stock around the vents. I just wipe it into the wood and call it 
refinishing.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Skeet with prizes!

[Curt Raymond via Mercedes]

 Guns don't age the way other things do. I took my 11ga side by side muzzle 
loader to trap last Friday. We fired both barrels 4 times. I shot it twice, 
Angie once and the guy who runs trap fired it once.It functioned perfectly, all 
8 shots went off with only barely perceptible delay. That gun dates from some 
time in the 1890s and functions exactly the same today as it did 120+ years ago.
Most normal people will never "wear out" a gun unless that gun was really cheap 
to begin with.
The SKS in particular is a very simple design intended to be used by people 
with no technological skill whatsoever. Its a real winner of a design.

Re: [MBZ] OT: Skeet with prizes!

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

A long time ago, back when Clinton was president, Iron Bloc surplus was
selling cheap.

And Norinco would sell you 1000 brand new SKS rifles for about $35k, FOB
Shanghai. Obviously you needed to be a licensed firearms importer to take
advantage of those prices.
Those SKS were retailing below $100 in the USA. They were not the same
quality as the ones made for the People's Army but they worked.
Meanwhile a AWB crippled Colt AR15 was more like $700-800.

My biggest 'why didn't I buy that?' from those days were some Romanian
AMD-65 parts kits (a shortened AK-47 used by tank crews). Mel Tappan was
selling them for something like $75 a pair, plus some small pittance for
USA made receivers to make complete guns out of them. I found out about it
a day or two after he raised the price, I called up TapCo and said I'd buy
four at last week's price and they laughed at me. So I didn't buy any. I
don't like to think about what those, or any functional Soviet AK, are
worth today.

A year ago, a reasonable quality non-Colt AR15 (like Ruger or
Smith) could be had for $500-600, in 2019 dollars. That old Yugo
SKS was worth a bit more than a new S
Now, everything's selling like it's 2013, and I can't pretend to know what
market value is.

Yeah, one of the first times I was out shooting as an adult I shot one of them 
and really enjoyed it. Amazing how accurate they are with iron sights. Dead 
nuts on the line I was hitting 8” diameter steels at 100 yards without any 
corrections.

That and ammo is cheap and plentiful, too.

Nice. That could be fun.

The youngest son and I were trying out our sporting clay club’s new rifle range 
today. 100 yards long, which is nice.

I took my Yugoslavian SKS and the youngster took his new Remington 700 
chambered in 300 magnum. Needless to say he has a very sore shoulder. I do not, 
as the SKS was hitting steels flawlessly with minimal recoil. Gotta love those 
stripper clips.

Lots of fun was had by all.
