I got ambitious: found an aluminum grip frame, partially stripped, on ebay. Soaked it with ez-off and let it percolate, got it stripped and polished and today I set down to swap the springs and grip frame on my 32 single six. Some how the pawl spring (hand spring) and rod transported... they didn't fly out, didn't land, didn't do anything at all that I could figure: one minute they were there, next minute, gone. So now I have to wait some more for new parts... sigh... it isn't easy being incompetent. But I do make up for it by bein brash and opinionated!

Don't worry... they'll show up... right after your new ones come in.

Its all part of the game... Glad I've learned to set it aside, let it go, and wait for the "oops" truck.

Yep, when I worked in a gun shop years ago, I use to love it when a guy would bring a gun into the shop in a bag and ask me to put it back together. They would ask me how much it would cost. I would ask them if their wife knew about it.(most of them would sit down at the kitchen table and start taking it apart and the wife would ask"ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING") I would fix their gun and charge them a fair price.

Been there, done that. I had to learn to do the work inside of a plastic bag. Saved a lot of spring hunts.  Don |
