She was pretty cool with it's it as her new gun. Two days later it took two more falls on xmas eve, tree went thru hell this year.

I've never had trouble installing the front pin, replacing one is different story. I use small curved picks. For finding detente I have small exstendable magnet. Swipe around like a blind man and they tend to get found. Smallest part I have lost so far is c-clip on dustcover rod, haven't found it yet. Replaced it with wire from twist tie, works great. I think a magnetic billed cap and apron would probably work well also. Or maybe a enclosed cabinet like a media blaster cabinet.

That C clip would definitely be tough to find.

Colohunter = RMAdventure, you had me going for a minute. I was on predator master's doing a double take.
I'm ghost dog over there also, I don't post much.

At work, we call C and E clips "Oh Jesus!" clips.
I bought one of those Harbor Freight Bulk Assortment boxes of them, along with a Bulk Assortment box of Roll Pins and Inside/Outside Split Rings. When the nearest hardware store is a 40 minute "time out", the gas I saved has already paid for them.

Yeah, that's me Ghost Dog, I tried to get the same name over there, but it was already taken. I haven't posted a lot there, but I've been wanting to take a coyote with my 6.8 and it is a great resource. I posted the link a couple places since not everyone sees the same forums.

Hoot- I'm glad I haven't lost any of those, but I'd keep a supply too if the nearest hardware store was that far away. I don't keep all the small parts for my ARs, but I do keep several of the parts I am most likely to need or lose.
