f*k*in' spring

[Jefpainthorse]

Ok.... no matter were you do gun work a spring always ends up under a refrigerator.

So... I went to the garage and the safety plunger spring disappeared out of a Glock 19. Thin air. GONE Vaished like a slutty magician's assistant in that damned trick box.

My favorite spring too. Called my two local sources.... no spring.

Ordered a spring and new recoil spring. If I'm lucky the rest of the parts wont sneak away.

If you see my spring..chew it's ass and send it home.

I'm still searching for the thumb safety plunger for a 1911
One of these days I'm gonna wise up and disassemble/reassemble in a gallon size ziplock bag.

The 2 gallon is better...seriously.

A magnet on a handle is your friend.

A dab of grease on the plunger spring keeps it in place in the plunger to.

All good ideas. I had the thing in the solvent tank,,,, took it out. It made it to the shop towel.... then poof!

my last house had an interesting mag tube spring indentation on the ceiling above the kitchen table. That didn't go over well but at least I could find that spring.
