T.WebbA tip from an armorer ...
I was speaking to a salesman from a supply house today and he offered a very useful tip.
I was concerned about a miscellaneous small part flying away, and he suggested disassembling the gun in a clear plastic bag.
So friggin simple I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it myself.

Modern Day SavageYes, that technique has been discussed over many threads and many years here...and yet knowing this technique didn't stop me from launching a P226 Magazine Release Catch Pin into low-earth orbit earlier this year...and upon re-entry it remains M.I.A.

sigfreundOh, great, just great.
Now that I’ve congratulated myself for never (well …, hardly ever) having launched a part into the black hole of my basement workshop, the karma gods are cackling wildly as they await my next project. Now I probably need to fabricate an entire plastic sheet enclosure around my work bench.

I was considering one of these...but I like how you think...Go BIG or GO HOME!

inspector710I did it once with a Walther PPK/S because when I tried it the first time, I sent a couple of springs into the next galaxy.

blueyeI use a dry cleaner bag when working with small springs.
