I added an extra step, because I'm OCD about that aspect...Pawpaw wrote:After reassembly follow these steps:
1. Make sure the weapon is unloaded.
2. Get a plain old #2 pencil.
3. Make sure the weapon is unloaded.
4. An unsharpened pencil is probably best.
5. Make sure the weapon is unloaded.
5.5. No, really. Make sure the weapon is unloaded.
6. Point the weapon straight up. Insert the eraser end of the pencil in the barrel and let it fall. Cock the weapon, if it's not already.
7. Pull the trigger and watch the pencil fly.
If the pencil doesn't jump, the firing pin is not working.
Fantastic little piece of know how!!
