Having to flip food has as much to do with the basket you use as the type of food. The air has to be able to get to that side of the food to crisp it. Most come with some type of basket/grate for this purpose.

I think the advice above your post is good, don’t get too small. You need to decide if you want to leave it on the counter or if you want to store it. That was the reason I got the one I linked to. Sits on my counter so I am more likely to use it, but folds up out of the way when I don’t. Most of them are going to be decent. Amazon reviews will probably give you the best large review base if you find a style or one you like the looks of.

Air Fryers are just small convection ovens. Doesn't really matter on the format, just that the air is moving. I have one that is more like a toaster oven that folds up so it doesn't take up as much space on the counter when not in use, but is easily accessible. Works well and seems to have a bit more room than some. Got mine at Costco. https://www.costco.com/ninja-foodi-10-in-1-digital-air-fry-oven-pro.product.4000105708.html

They are both 20x Unertl’s. I like them on these old guns. I have a 14x on my 52D but will say I think some of the most fun I have is shooting with the peep sites on my 52C. It’s pretty incredible how little of groups you can shoot with peep sight with appropriately sized inserts for the target.

I have shown these here before, but a pair of consecutive serial number 40XB's. I would have to dig out my 52C and D for pics.

I am so far down the rimfire rabbit hole I won’t get out. But I’m also into uber accuracy. Love old rimfire’s. If you are into rimfires, you need a 40x or 52 to really appreciate them from the old days.

I tell my friends all of the time, If you (or I) can’t tell me (or you) what I (you) don’t want to hear you’re not really my friend. That doesn’t mean they will listen, but you did what you could. The rest is on them.

*could*. They just as easily leave out all of that once it is said and done. Anything even remotely considerable has to use shall or must. Words matter and it’s just a game to appease until it’s not.

I made a vibration trigger that you can have with it. Works fine.

$1000

$650.

$300. I just don't use it and want it out of my way.

Shocker. Just like we all thought when Mr Luke tried to dupe us all.

I have had one for years. They are definitely handy. Amazon is your friend. Obviously you need metric and imperial. Nut & Bolt Thread Checker (Metric) https://a.co/d/8CRH0vm

Understood you have a 52, but I was referring to the Sporter model, not the training model. Something like this. https://www.gunsinternational.com/guns-for-sale-online/rifles/winchester-rifles-model-52/winchester-52b-sporter-with-special-order-stock-and-finish.cfm?gun_id=102552640 This is a bit high but probably not as much as you would hope.

I would look for something like a CZ 452 American with the 16" threaded barrel. Classic looks, good quality, light, and great feel. Hard to find 452's sometimes, but they may be out there. I use mine to plink off the porch all the time. Or if you have stupid money, a Winchester Model 52C Sporter (original of course :))

I reference the old line in a song, “if you want to be happy for the rest of your life make an ugly woman your wife” as it relates to Glocks. I still cant marry an ugly wife

It's a cool place. Been there a couple of times when visiting my brother. And if you get to that area and like to golf, go play Arrowhead. Awesome golf course.

Left hand is just the change of a lever. Not any harder to do than right hand. Even metric isn’t any harder, it’s more about what kind of lathe they have and if it has a universal gear box or the right change gears for the metric thread.

Absolutely. Mostly depends on how big the headstock of the lathe is as mentioned above. There are a lot of ways to do it, some better than others but anyone who has done many should have the tools to do it. There are various types of jigs to hold the action and be able to adjust runout. I agree with SlickRick that you want someone who knows what they are doing, but it isn’t hard to get a barrel dialed in to thread it. It just takes a little patience.

Damn. Good pickup.

SPM

Replied. Still available.

Pending meet.

More culling. Duplicate for me. Nice condition old Model 41 with cocking indicator. Comes with a box, but not the original to it, but is from 5.5" Model 41. Has a couple of the tools as well. 2 Magazines. Pictures make it look like it has some wear on muzzle but it is just from reflection of light on the RIG I keep on it. The other is just some lint. I can take different pictures if someone want them. $sold firm. Meet within a reasonable distance of Chapel Hill.
