Front pivot spring? at least he can see where the sumbitch goes. I use the metal nailfile that pivots out in a set of finger nail clippers to smash and hold it down that evil little spring and brass pin have been the inspiration for some of the most poetic profanity in modern history.
stormsailor19981 - they make a tool for that now, costs about 15 bucks over at Brownells.com. I've seen them for about half that, but I can't recall where. It's a good tool to have if you plan on building more than one AR. I own one and it does make life easier.
First day at the range in basic training: We were field stripping our M16A1s to clean them. “Don’t take the extractor apart,” they said, “you’ll lose the little spring.” We did a lot of push-ups for the idiot who didn’t listen.
I figured out the nail file after about 4 builds. now it's super easy to use. No more chasing that spring and pin, no more blood blisters under my thumbnail from jamming that down.
#1 Which is why the gays took the rainbow as their flag. They're mocking God with "you promised you wouldn't do that again, ha ha!" Like most wokies, they haven't given it even a basic think through. Yeah, fire is a thing that exists too, you know.
#10 Yup, people are that stubbornly stupid. Must be a Democrat.
#11 The mind boggle. I'd ask "what the heck were they thinking?" But I think we all know the answer to that question is always: "they weren't."
#17 I've been there, done that, couldn't afford the T-shirt. Though I might point out that for the price of those slim jims, you can eat five or six meals of rice and beans.
#20 I think we ALL feel that one. On an almost daily basis. Today, I reassembled my desk lamp, dropped one of those little tiny screws. Aarghh! Got lucky though, and found it easily despite the black hardwood floor not having been swept this week... ish.
tell him to get a maisa mara Retay. far surpasses a benelli. Its enertia driven too but without the infamous (benelli click). great gun. I have two in bottomland. awesome turkey gun too. ColesDad
#1: I wouldn't blame Him after His seeing what the sodomites made of the symbol of His covenant not to flood the world again...
#20: A l-o-o-o-ng time ago I worked on Teletype machines. There were numerous C-clips on these things. We called them "Jesus clips" because you'd try to pop one off and it would zing off into another dimension, leaving you to do nothing but say "JESUS!!!" and go to the stock room to look for another one...
#9 is one of the many reasons why I don't want to travel to the East. That's one gnarly sign. #17 - You could buy a fair amount of Bologna for the price of two Slim Jims... Did I ever mention that I love Bologna? Good German Bologna - of course!
#10- How does the maths work if she's your half sister?🤣
#13 - Kid: "Dad, why can't we watch a Dallas Cowboys Superbowl Game?" Dad: "We don't have a VCR"
#15 - Perfect for a Big Mac Attack!
#20 - I was working on my Sig Sauer P-938 and the saftey detent (a vanishingly small object) went flying actoss the room and I heard it rattle down through a pile of leftover computer components my son had stacked in the corner. I went on line and ordered another one. Then I watched a YouTube video that said when you tear down a 938, do it inside a gallon ziplock bag. Forehead smack.
I asked my son, who lives in Kentucky, if a man and woman get married in Kentucky, and move to Michigan, are they still brother and sister? He thought it was funny, only because he lived in Michigan for the first 9 years of his life. No doubt a lifelong southerner would not think it was as funny.
20. I once had a spring from an old gun, the parts of which are basically unobtanium, take flight. I heard it bounce off hard surfaces twice. I searched all over my gun room for it and couldn't find it so I methodically and carefully, starting in one corner and going all the way around the room, moved literally everything and carefully inspected and cleaned all of it. I unbolted my benches and moved them. I shined a light on every square inch of the floor. I even took the pictures and plaques off the wall. It took about 10 hours and when I finished and had everything back in place I still hadn't found the spring. I now had the cleanest and most well organized gun room on the planet but I also had a gun that was now unusable because it was missing a part I couldn't replace without great difficulty. On the plus side, I found a few things I had forgotten about. The best find was 300 new, unfired Starline 45 Colt cases that I had bought at a gun show a couple of years earlier. The next morning when I got out of bed I stepped on the spring.
#5: When you see that young lady in her mid 20s with her tits hanging out, dressed like she's going to a beach party, but she's actually somewhere totally inappropriate like the grocery store or the doctor's office, it's a safe bet that her fashion style was formed when she was in impressionable 9 year old listening to and watching Katy Perry music. I personally am forever grateful for the effect Katy Perry has had on this generation.
#20 LMFAO
ReplyDeleteHope you also brought a spare detent

Out of stock at the moment though.
You can get a 1/4" diameter clevis pin and use it to install/remove them

You're trying too hard, John.....
DeleteSeems like every waterfowl season my nephew has to field strip his garbage Benelli shotgun, because he won't clean it, & he will lose a spring.
ReplyDeletetell him to get a maisa mara Retay. far surpasses a benelli. Its enertia driven too but without the infamous (benelli click). great gun. I have two in bottomland. awesome turkey gun too.

DeleteI have a bunch of relatives up in Northern Michigan. Believe me there are such things as frozen rednecks.
DeleteMy mom was from Kentucky. My dad was happy to know she was a virgin when they got married. How did he know? Easy, she was an only child.

Did you squish it or was it still usable?
DeleteUsed to know a gunsmith who kept a cardboard box handy just for disassembling things that had springs that could go flying.
