McCandless Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Howdy Bottles, Set 'em up for anybody that'll actually still drink with me... Oh yeah, I was cleaning a pistol, all screws are tight, grip frame and grips still on, tilt it and hear something hit the desk and fall on the floor. So, I says "hmmmmmm" So naturally I go looking for whatever might have fallen. I look and look, don't see nothin'. Looks at the pistol, everything looks alright. But, I know something fell. So'se there I am on my hands n' knees, butt up in the air, and I find... a pawl plunger?? Naturally I picks up the gun and sho'nuff, pawl won't move much. I scritch my haid somemore and take off the grips and the plunger spring is still there, but no plunger. It's haunted I tell ya! There ain't no way for that sucker to come out wifout takin' off the grip frame. So, while I pause to puzzle... I'm buyin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Bottles line up a couple of absinthe shots for McCandless. Mystery loves company. Can’t think of a better toast to the things that escape us. Cheers and be happy for the wonders in life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps something like this: I like the one from Harbor Freight: https://www.harborfreight.com/long-reach-magnetic-pickup-tool-with-quick-release-93950.html You can pull on the handle to get the magnet to release the part after you've picked it up. I've had times where a really tiny part was stuck to a really strong magnet and I couldn't get it to let go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
