Gas block for my Garand blew off at the Whittington silhouette range. Couldn't find it. A kind THR moderator, @1911Tuner, saw my dilemma and sent me one, free of charge.
Was that you! Thanks man!I left a lot of good once-fired brass over many years. It was expendable to my mind before I started reloading, and ammo was inexpensive.
But looking on the bright side, I'm sure I made many a brass scrounger's day back in the day.
I don't blame ya!Two extractors from my disaster of a gun FTL Auto Nine .22LR pistol. First time, the extractor went away on the second shot. The factory fixed it and said I used overpowered ammo. Second time, I used the exact ammo they recommended, and it lasted almost the entire 9 round mag. It was another dud in a run of many bad new guns I bought in the later '70's to early 80's. I tried a bunch of .22LR pistols as BUG's and the Beretta 950 in .25 never wert bad or went away. I still have it, it's like 45 years old. I carried it in my pocket at work for almost 4 years, and it looks it,
I left about a half bucket of Golden Bullet .22LR at the range once. I got tired of all the jams and duds.
I have a story on that. I watched a guy bring a brand new chronny. don't recall the brand. but anyway he unpacked it and set it up. got everything lined up carefully. checked his gear multiple times. even checked his rifle alignment several times.So nobody lost a chronograph???. Or at least pieces of one?
