For anyone who has ever spent 2 minutes to launch a spring that took only (hopefully) 4 hours to find (if at all).

It has always amazed me how far a spring or primer can bounce when it lands on carpet. Even if you see it land between your feet.

No experience with a spring yet but if a primer hits the floor here in N C it can most likely be found somewhere on the West Coast.

Yeah, that other meme about a “Spring” in the air must have been a “warning”; hit me right in the chest.
To be fair, this powder measure return spring has been in service for decades with likely 150K pistol rounds loaded on this Pro-1000.


I think he was trying to tell me this…

And, why does everything bounce under the bench?

And, why does everything bounce under the bench?

Or under the tool box which sits lower than the bench in my case.

One day, I was struggling a bit to install a spring into a spring/air pellet rifle. This was something I normally would never touch but I always made exceptions for kids. Anyway, one of my customers was watching my efforts and finally asked if he could try. I told him to go ahead and stood back. He bent to the task and pretty soon he had the spring seated and had started the cap. He stepped back proudly and I stepped forward to have a look; just in time to see the cap fly off. That is, I think I saw it. Visible or not, it hit me right between the eyes, though a tad high. I didn't go down, but I may have staggered a bit. The trickle of blood was easily stopped with a Band-Aid. The bump went away with time. WH

Don’t know about you guys but the “garage monster” has eaten, many a spring, pin and primer at my house

I am still looking for the check ball out of a Rem 700 trigger i lost in 1989 +/- Tommy Mc

Springs are the root cause of mental illness

Main thing when this happens is don't panic , you can swear but don't panic . I get the greatest comfort by tearing apart cuss words to form new ones !

I lost a few contender latch springs over the years, GONE lost forever bought new ha, couple of years later while cleaning off the TOP of the work bench there they were laughing at me, I completely tore apart the room at least three times fixed a magnet to a dowel nota zip, I knew when I found them they were still chuckling. Did not tear apart the top because who ever heard of a spring landing in an easy to find spot

A large trash bag is your friend. 30 gallon, as clear as possible.
So I've been told.

Those E clips on trigger housing seem to evaporate before your eyes.

Always referred to them as 'Jesus' parts.

'Jesus! Where did that go?!'

In 1989, living in an apartment, I stripped my 1911 duty gun on my weekend. I launched the firing pin across the front room, hearing a faint metallic sound. 2 hrs later I found it in the vanes of the 8’ baseboard heater…

Jesus clips, my garage is full of them, somewhere

 

[snert]

Springs, yes. Glasses...every day.

I found a trigger pin today while sorting my brush and jag drawer, which is across the room from where I work on rifles. Took it about 6 months to migrate over there.
