Got my dumbass card

Bluntforce · 03-22-2017, 04:01 PM

Dropped the clip for an AR dust cover pin. Got my magnet on a stick looking for it. The little bastard is made of spring steel isn't it? If it's plastic, I'm boned.

Small springs, detents and c-clips prove there is a third dimension. Good luck finding it. I've shot numerous detents into no mans land.

I was putting together a receiver a few months ago and had a takedown pin spring shoot out and disappear into the ether. Luckily, I had a spare.

Losing pieces doesn't really count for dumbassery.

Dumbassery usually involves a Dremel tool and/or a torch.

I use a large white towel on my work table whenever I take something apart, makes things easier to spot and small parts don't jump off.

I dread looking under the reloading benches. The room I have all my gunretaled stuff in get cleaned once or twice a year. Generally I find all kinds of lost things then.

Good to have a Fastenal store near by.

This one or their are dozens of other sites with back up replacement kits for the AR parts that fly through the air.

PSA AR15 Field Armorer's Kit - 7220

I don't even bother looking when the small parts fly just wait till someone barefooted steps on the part and when they scream reach down and grab it.

Found an ejection port cover kit, pin, spring and C-clip for $4.95 from a company I was going to order chamber brushes and ammo from soon anyway.

Going to put an old sheet on the floor and try to do the installation inside a clear plastic bag.

Spotted the damned thing, got it on and discovered the ejection port door spring is actually a bigger pain in the ass.

I usually use a towel, but not necessarily a white one.

Here is when I was installing free spin pawls and reduced power springs in my two Vaqueros.

I think just about any light solid colored towel works. I use a yellow micro-fiber towel when working on the pistols and small car parts.
