    One of the first things I learned messing with an AR is that the cam pin is one of those parts that goes in one way only and don't fit from the other direction.

    Which makes yahoo boy's complaint even stranger since if you have half a brain,which in some cases is a large assumption,you can see this arrangement makes perfect sense.

    I have to wonder what his job is....knowing our luck he's a top engineer at a nuclear facility somewheres

    With regard to the original story that Grant related, it's never even occurred to me to try to stick the cam pin through the bolt from the wrong side. I had no idea it wouldn't fit. I learned something new today.
    I'm in the same boat. The first time I disassembled and reassembled my Colt's BCG I never thought to try and stick the cam pin in the bolt while it was out of the carrier. When I reinserted the bolt into the carrier, it just seemed to be common sense to me to angle the bolt to where the extractor and ejector would throw the case out of the ejection port, not back into the receiver.

    I learn something new almost everyday on this forum.

    Guns aren't for everyone, some people should own pepper spray instead.

    Contrary to common thought the $9.95 electric pencil does have a legitimate gunsmithing use.

    If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

    Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?

    I swear, firearms seem to attract stupid people. I've started working Saturdays again at the LGS where I've been on and off for the last 10 years part-time. The first couple weeks have been most entertaining. The shop has an attached indoor range, so we get to see lots of things "straight from the scene of the crime" so to speak.

    2 wks ago:
    Customer is buying a bunch of ammo and has a couple 12-14 yr old boys with him. Says they're going out to the farm to do some shooting. The guy asks me for a box of 30-30, okay, no problem. Then he says, "Actually, the gun is a Winchester .32 Special, but I've been firing 30-30 in it for the last 25 years." I advise him that's probably a bad idea and he should purchase ammo designed to be fired in the weapon. I then head down to the other end of the counter to grab some 9mm he also wanted and while I'm away he tells another employee, "That jackass doesn't know what he's talking about. I've been shooting this gun like this for 25 years." The other employee informs him that I'm correct.

    Last week:
    Customer comes in with a Taurus Judge and wants some .410 ammo to go on the range with. We ask him if he has 2.5" or 3" cylinder. He says he's pretty sure it's 3". We ask to see the gun to verify. He informs us that he knows what kind of gun he has and to give him the 3" shells...ok. 5 minutes later he comes out of the range complaining that the shells we gave him "broke his gun" and now the cylinder won't move.


    Yep, 3" shell fired from 2.5" chamber = end of spent cartridge melted to inside of bore...

    I can't wait see the first AR cluster!

    Those same people shouldn't have kids,but they do. I guess the best we can hope for is they don't shoot anyone and their kids don't marry one of our kids.
