Been spending last night and most of this morning repairing guns.
You know all the little things, like loose butt stock that has stripped out screws on my 870, that has been held in place with duct tape for 2 years.
Fixed a scratch that My AR15 put on my moms old 22. My AR just does not play well with me other guns.
Tore apart the first gun, my son had picked out for himself, Silver Eagle Stalker single shot 410. It had always had lite strikes since new, and I could not warranty it, because I had lost the receipt and had forgot to send in the registration card.
They have been getting more recurrent.
Tore it completely down, filed the burs high spots and machine marks off the firing pin and the channel, then lapped them with some valve grinding compound, cleaned everything up, filed, then emery the machine marks off the rest of the contact points and molyed her up. Hopefully that fixes it . As specs are not available
for that gun.
Took my AR15 lower over to a buds and he tigged the buffer retaining pin hole shut. Then I drilled a new one as he walked me thru the use of his mill. He was not sure of legalities even though it was a registered factory complete, receiver. So he said he should do the welding part (nothing illegal about filling a hole for someone.) Then he set the stuff up part way then told me how to clamp the receiver in, then make final adjustments and cut.
The old hole was drilled off from factory just a tad and the buffer was smacking the retainer while cycling, original fix was to just break the tab and live with the buffer flying out on disassembly. But I was getting tired of getting hit in the face with the buffer on every other tear down.
Then I put new fibers in all my glow sights.I have only had a multi size pack of them laying on the dinning room table for about 6 months.
Got to run errands now, but when things calm down going to take the Stalker out to test.
Busy day.
