I return to base the other day and find the girlfriends AR somewhat disassembled and laid out neatlyon the living room table. Hmmm. She bought a Vlt0r carbine stock and had managed to remove the receiver extension and old stock but that was as far as she got. I looked over the gun and figured that she musta been surprised when she pulled the stock off since theres two springs in there that will go into a low earth orbit if youre not careful. The Takedown pin detent spring was still there. Good girl. The buffer retainer pin spring, however, was missing. Makes sense..if you dont know its there, youd unscrew the receiver extension and then -sproing-. Fortunately, I have a spare set of springs for the AR. Retrieved one from the bunker and reassembled it for her and installed her new ‘tactical latch’ for the charging handle.
When she got home I gently reminded her that when takinga apart a gun past the simple takedown stage its a good idea to remove parts slowly in case there were springs involved and that next time she should let me watch and advise her until she learns how a particular gun comes apart. No damage. Had her order up a parts kit from Bushmaster so we’d have some more springs, pins and detents since theyre very easy to lose.
In honor of this experience, I am using the new ‘showing the girlfriend’ icon.
Love your icon- one of the greatest movies in my opinion. I am a big Luc Besson fan, this being the first one I saw.
On an unrelated note, being from New Zealand and all, did it wierd out when you did the haka before sex?
Come on – our age difference isn’t THAT bad!!!!!! :p
Like the icon though. Man, what a great movie.
KA MATE KA MATE, KA ORA KA ORA!
You know the intention of the Haka is to frighten your enemies into submission, right?
Re-reading your post, I am sure you know that.
I didn’t need to stamp my feet and wave my arms to frighten her. Although that would have done it, for sure.
Love the icon.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
What wierds me out is that he starts saying things to me in Samoan that I don’t know and I have to ask the lady at his office what they mean. She just starts laughing.
Thanks Commander Zero, i was wondering what dvd i was going to watch tonight, you’ve just helped me narrow it down to “Platoon”, “Full Metal Jacket” & “The Professional”
