When I replaced my Teflon egg pan I bought one of those ceramic pans from Walmart, blue diamond brand. If one believes the tv ads ceramic is miraculous. Mine sucks, butter or oil is mandatory and I still get spots where the eggs stick a little. Did I just get the wrong one?

New magazine spring

I have a Mossberg 500 that just sits here loaded and doesn't get used. The old magazine spring was very weak so I ordered an extra power one from Wolfe. Evidently, the factory used loctite on the magazine tube, I had to use heat to unscrew it.
As long as I was that far into it, I stripped it and gave it a thorough cleaning followed by oil and 0 weight grease in the appropriate places, much smoother now. All went well until putting the mag tube back in. I must've fiddled with that for fifteen minutes, the spring kept trying to escape. I finally got it back together so all is good. Hopefully those 3" #4 buckshot loads die of old age.[Image: IMG-20251115-113242.jpg]

[FPC News] FPC Moves to Include NRA in Fight Against New Jersey Gun Purchase Ban

<p><strong>TRENTON, N.J. </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">(November 13, 2025) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that its legal team has </span><a href="https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicycoalition/pages/8901/attachments/original/1763070971/2025.11.13_068_Motion_to_Amend_Complaint.pdf?1763070971"><span style="font-weight: 400;">filed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a motion to add the National Rifle Association (NRA) into the FPC Law case </span><strong><a href="http://firearmspolicy.org/struck"><em>Struck v. Platkin</em></a></strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">, a challenge to New Jersey’s so-called “1-in-30” firearm purchase ban. The Garden State’s regulatory scheme prohibits law-abiding adults from acquiring more than one firearm in any 30-day period—a restriction that FPC contends has no basis in longstanding Second Amendment precedent or historical tradition.</span></p>
