Oh, joy. When this happens to me I turn it over to my Bride. I'm lucky. I've had a few that almost went out the back door. Ruger mk1,2 " Satan spring" comes to mind. Take a day off from it.I think that I found a gun that Satan created to make life miserable for anyone who owns it. I just got a North American Arms mini 22lr and I decide to fully disassemble it and clean it up. I thought that I could handle it, but the I'm at the point of putting this tiny spring, the hand spring, onto the hammer. The thing is this, you have to put the spring in while making sure that the trigger, hammer and connector are all in place and when you get it in, you have to put the face plate to hold it in. It's pissing me off. Here's a pic

And it sucks because it's such a cheap gun that you can't pay a gunsmith to do it without it being more money than the gun is worth.

That is the exact video I was using to see if there were any tips and tricks to that spring...
Cool. Light spacemachinegun!!Went to the range today to pick up some junk brass to recycle and there was a pretty wild gun at the range. Looks like the guy built it out of junk angle iron and metal tubes he had laying around the house.

Not now. Ya cleaned it!!I have been cleaning rifles since before the 4th and am finally getting close to the end.
Thought I would share a few pics from inside the M1A prior to cleaning from my Teslong
Carbon Ring at the end of the chamber...not much throat erosion if any

Just in front of the throat...little fire cracking and some copper fouling
View attachment 174630
about 1/2 way out
View attachment 174631
Gas port looks good...that little bit of carbon is gone on the first past
View attachment 174632
Little bit more copper closer to the muzzle along with a little carbon in the groves

Hard to believe it still shoots .57 @ 100
