I think John Browning hates me.

I have decided to build a special room in my house for working on firearms.
When inside, the walls and floor must have no cracks or crevices for small parts to fall into. The walls must be soft. Maybe covered in a very short carpet in order for flying parts to contact and then drop to the floor.
The color must be a very light color that reflects light and all the loose parts will contrast and be easily seen.
Most of all, it must be sound proof so that when I scream in frustration, nobody knows but me.

Taz , when you get that room built, I am your new best friend.

Try the pawl plunger and spring in a Ruger DA. I lost one from a SP101 , hunted for 3 hours, finally called Ruger. They sent me 2 of each part at no cost, said it wasn't uncommon. next time I'm going to assemble it in a large clear plastic bag

I have thought a lot about getting (or building) something like a small sand blasting cabinet with a work light inside, baffled arm holes, and no nooks and crannies for parts to hide in.
Maybe someday.

As an aside, I lurk here soaking it in nearly every day... seldom post, so seldom find need to log in... forgot password... had to do re-set to post... Man those little alpha-numeric puzzles to keep out the Bots almost defeated me... gotta think of something to say more often.

Happy New Year All!!!

With slow motion cameras so you can see where the part landed!

That probably will not help. I think these parts translate to another dimension when they get airborne and simply disappear.
