Bottles, I need a drink...

[McCandless]

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'!

Bottles, I'll have 2 fingers of the burbon you keep under the bar.

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

Bottles, I will have a cold whatever you have and get my buddy McCandless a magnet.

I like the one from Harbor Freight:

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.

This is much cheaper and smaller.

PS it is strong enough to pick up scissors. How much pull to you need for tiny gun parts.
