I just turned the house upside down looking for a carbine buffer. I rounded up all the parts to put a lower together but there was no buffer.

I looked everywhere. All tool boxes, cleaning kits, range bags, rifle bags, ammo boxes, spent brass boxes, junk drawers, you name it.

No buffer.

Then I pull the spring out of the buffer tube. There's a buffer on the other end!

Don't you hate that?!!

I am still missing a buffer though.

LOL, I did that Christmas Eve, I couldn't find where I hid one of my fiancee's Christmas gifts... Looked in the basement, 1st floor, 2nd floor, room above the garage(unfinished, acts as our second attic) back to the basement where I finally found it... Thought I was losing my mind

Missing/misplaced stuff is always in the “last place” that you look. That’s why I always look in the “last place” first. Wink

I got in a new 1911 disconnector before Christmas. It was in a tiny clear zip lock bag.

Got it out of the mail envelope and laid in on the table. Went to the bathroom and no disconnector anywhere when I came back.
And of course nobody knows nuttin.

Four days passed before I found it mixed in with Christmas cards...

I often take gun inventory and found I lost an LCP handgun. For three days I looked everywhere, gun boxes, range bag, jackets, drawers, cabinets.....

Found it in a HD soft luggage unlocked side pocket that was on the motorcycle parked outside.

Wish I could say it has never happened to me but unfortunately it does all to frequently. I've been searching for a holster for a 1911 that I never really use but still no luck, I know I didn't sell it. Soooo frustrating.

Yes, losing your glasses is the worst, because you can't look for them until you find them.

The buffer will magically reveal itself within days once the replacement you bought shows up.

I have ‘lost’ my EDC knife four time over the last six years. Each time I found it within an hour of buying/ordering a replacement.

The last time was especially frustrating because my wife and I KNEW it would turn up as soon as I ordered a replacement from Amazon (we went so far as to complain to my dad at dinner that Sunday). After three days of tearing the house and car apart I buckled under and ordered a new one. Thirty minutes later I found it dangling from the shoulder strap of my laptop bag.

Correct answer.

The best way to find anything lost is to buy another. You'll find the original within minutes of the replacement's arrival.

So you've seen my garage, have you? I generally find the missing tool when I go to put away the new tool. The missing one is frequently within my arms' span of where I thought I had stowed it.

My first step now in finding the missing item is to act like I'm about to put it away, then get distracted in the last seconds, and look for it *there*.

It would be funnier if it didn't work so well!

I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

Found the buffer today. In the rifle range bag that I already looked in. Too many pockets. Lost my .22 bore snake. Looked everywhere. *shrug*

I always keep looking after finding the object I was searching for.

That way when people say "You found it in the last place that you looked" I can reply "WRONG. It was in the tenth from the last place I looked!"

Then they look at me like I'm a lunatic or something. I don't understand it.

I usually lose things when I put them in a place specifically so they won’t get lost. I’m a master at out smarting myself.

Once, as a kid, I couldn’t find my T-Ball hat and was frantically looking all over for it. I was completely panicked until I walked past our large hall mirror and saw it on my head. True story.

Of course, after you find it, you stop looking. Smile

I can relate. I received a $150 Visa gift card from my MIL for Christmas. My wife asked how much I had spent as she was checking a few others. Try as I might, I couldn't find it. Looked in my wallet several times. Looked in the safe, also several times.

I felt terrible. And my wife was giving me a hard time about losing it. And then, lo and behold, it turns out she had "kept it for me" with our other gift cards. Don't ya just love a heartfelt apology? Big Grin

Now if I could just get over the habit of searching in all my pockets for my phone... only to find I am speaking on it. Comes with the old person territory, I guess.
