@Sadmin can we get some of this good man’s posts pinned?

Fair to ask dumb repair questions here, or that more of the normal k channel?

🤷

I'm sure some of you have already seen that

I'm repairing my dads Mauser (mostly just cleaning really) and the lock sleeve spring on the cocking piece is a bit weak, leading to fun bolt shenanigans

It looks like an easy fix, just slide it out and in. Am i missing something probably?

I looked for that, but my Google fu is week on guns

Thanks so much, it's exactly what i needed!

Looks like i should be able to do exactly what i was thinking. Doesn't look like i need to remove the mainspring either, which is good

Since this stock doesn't have that handy hole. Thanks, Spain

I’m debating cutting the barrel down to forward of the piece of tape. 18 inches is just behind the tape in the middle of the hole. Forgot to measure over all length. I’ll need to move the sight at some point, and this girl already kicks like a mule. What do y’all think?

is it a Rem 870?

why not just get a new barrel, they're pretty cheap

It’s not. It’s a $99 dollar single shot from Walmart.

Saw that bitch off and thread in a sight

Get a machinist to do the sight if you cannot

Or leave it

I don’t know any machinists. Some of the sporting goods stores have clip on fiber optic sights I might mod on in the mean time.

Epoxy bb to top

JB weld

silver solder it

Just use one of the neon colored clear .12 gram airsoft bb's

No. Ima do it right.

>Do it right
>on a $99 single shot

Gorilla gluing a BB to the rib is about as right as it gets on those

Hack saw

I’d do it now if there was a vice in the house. Two hacksaws, no vice. Not sure where the files are so I’ll have to use the SAK for that. No emery cloth.

sit on it and hacksaw the barrel off

no vice reqd

Alright. Fuck it.

Uh. A vice would help a lot.

Also, a file to clean it up after

There are plenty of fiber bead sights that have double stick tape.

Fuck this I’m going to get a vice and an angle grinder.

So, the barrel is off, but i have significant filing to do.
