Subject: Re: Friday Chat 05.13.16 by GRIS on 2016/5/14 0:27:13 THIS BEING AN ILL-OMENED DAY ANYWAY, I STARTED IN ON A LONG AVOIDED TASK: DETAIL STRIPPING AND CLEANING OF MY WINCHESTER M-100. THEY ARE NOTORIOUS FOR BEING EASY TO TAKE APART AND A TOTAL PAIN IN ASS TO PUT BACK TOGETHER. THIS IS A FIRST YEAR PRODUCTION GUN, 1961, AND IF IT HAD EVER BEEN TAKEN APART IT WAS A L-O-O-O-N-G TIME AGO. GAS SYSTEM WAS CARBONED UP PRETTY BAD. I MUST HAVE SPENT THREE HOURS GETTING IT REASSEMBLED. TROUBLE IS, YOU NEED THREE GOOD HANDS TO DO IT, AND THE TWO I HAVE DON'T WORK TOO GOOD. THE MOST INTERESTING IS WHEN YOU HAVE TO ALIGN THREE SPRING-LOADED PARTS TO PUT IN A PIN :-( IT WILL BE A WHILE BEFORE I DO THAT AGAIN! |
