Oh well, back to it.

Yeah... my big ol' hands couldn't grasp the tiny part... I know, I'm a noob....

Well that gun is toasted, and now is worthless. Give it to me, I'll make sure to dispose of it properly for you at no cost. I'll even meet you at a location of your preference.[Flower]

HAHAHA, best reply yet. No Sir, this one is a keeper. Just pissed that I screwed it up already. But, it was bound to happen sooner or later, right?

Yup!! I have rifles shotguns and pistols with "battle scars". You can't avoid them. Some of my pieces, after re-bluing you can't tell though.

1. if your gun looks perfectly new and shiny it is either a) new. b) has not been shot enough. Go practice more.
2. Or do what my friend did. Send it over to Zulu 13 and have it Dura coated and make you gun look shiny and sexy again.
a. Then go practice more.

Yeah... I guess, but I still didn't get that part off to see if there is a reducer plug or something. Oh well. I'll tackle it some other day.

Now it's broken in.... It's all good. It shoots very well!

Rust? In CO? I wouldn't worry about it...

Just on my phone so can't do a proper search, but just search the forum some good pictures. It is basically scratching the finish putting the slidestop back in place
