PSA - If you ever find yourself thinking about disassembling a lever action hammer spring/strut, don’t do it! That’s 10 hrs of my life and at least 1000 variations of FUCK! I’ll never get back.

It was/is pretty embarrassing. Mine is chambered in .357. Was shooting it out at the range with a buddy of mine, he says “.38 is cheaper, I’ve got some, let’s put that through it.” First round doesn’t make it out of the barrel/just not enough oomph. I take it home and instead of just tapping the bullet out and calling it a day I decide I’m gonna field strip and clean after I’ve put a grand total of maybe 50 rounds through the thing. Random pieces just kept falling out the more I took it apart. YouTube videos weren’t overly helpful. After about the 300th “fuck” or “cocksucker” my wife told me to take a break. I’m probably gonna take it to a gunsmith, I just don’t think I have the patience.

I'm headed back next month for a re-attack. I'm take that under advisement.

Lol. I have a Henry in 44 mag. Fun gun to shoot but the feed ramp can catch some rounds especially if they have sharp edges. Every time I clean it I have YouTube on to help me and I ask myself if buying it in the first place was a good idea.

That’s how I’m looking at it. More hours!

From some friends I know that have recently gone through and from a few FAIPs I know, you will still go through IPT regardless. I have all the way up to my CFI and if I’m selected I’ll have to go through IPT. I was also told if you have these ratings already, you’d just do the stage checks and not the checkrides.

Funny how they say the intersection has been "targeted" for vandalism, instead of stating that the community had been "targeted" for forced celebration of an idea held by a small mentally unwell minority of the population.

…and a tear came to my eye…..OBTW, IT WASN'T MY SQUADRON!
