Honestly @shah.matthew the vacuum trick feels like extra steps to me. I just tape the new cable to the old one and pull it through, works every time. Magnets are cool though.

My uncle's old Marlin 336 had that same pickle smell for two seasons after he cleaned the barrel. I used to think it meant he did a bad job, but after reading what kelly_walker92 said about it becoming part of the story, I get it now. That rifle shot fine and the smell just made it his. It's like a weird badge that shows you actually put in the work to save the gun instead of letting it rot.

Maybe @jade_young88, but that low-level worry can keep you sharp sometimes.

I used to think removal was easier, but saving a good tree changed my mind.

Is 500 really that crazy though? I have like 300 and it's mostly junk accounts for one time coupons or signing up to read a news article. It's just the way the internet works now, every site wants you to make an account. As long as your manager is organized and your master password is strong, who cares about the number?
