thank you for the tip... that sounds like a really good idea. For the little tomcat, i sometimes put it in a plastic bag to take it appart.Excaliber wrote:To prevent the launching of springs, detent pins, etc. into parts unknown, place a crumpled up towel in a heap on your workbench and aim the parts that might fly off into it as you go through the disassembly. If you lose control of them, the towel absorbs their launch energy and you can easily recover each and every tiny bit of metal or plastic by carefully unfolding the towel.John wrote:around 15 - 20 minutes, typically. Unless i decide to do more than field stripping, then, well it could be weeks if springs go flying into the yard.Anybody who has a beretta tomcat knows what i mean by that statement. Every couple of years i'll take a shotgun completely appart and clean everything. that can take while, maybe 45 minutes or so.
Don't ask me why I now follow this procedure religiously.
