No, this isn't a discussion about your life, hopes, or dreams so don't post it here!

Earlier this morning I took everything out of the safe (for general function check and inspection) and put three guns aside that I have been neglecting to fix. One with a broken none existent magazine spring, another with a jacked up front sight, and a Glock clone with more none functioning Chinese metal and plastic than I thought it had. With AB 1263 in play it has been a nightmare trying to get anything into the state without having to pay a service fee from an FFL or the stupid surcharge for signature delivery at the door. Regardless, I think we have that one firearm, magazine, or part we have all been neglecting to fix.

So chat what's broken?
 
For me? Notta, I always fix them right away. Last thing that broke was one of the extractors on one of my 500's. Ordered from eBay, installed and fixed no problem.
 
I have a Squires Bingham M16 (pre Armscor M1600) (22lr) that for some reason cooks off rounds. Not sure if its a cast chamber issue or something failing in the fire control... but I paid $50 for the gun so I doubt its work the troubleshoot and might try to just turn it into a buyback for a gift card.
 
That’s one thing with firearms I don’t let get away from me, haha!!

I think it’s because, for me, working on them is easy and I have all the tools (often multiples from inherited collections).

If something stops working - and more lube won’t fix it, haha!! - then I figure out what’s wrong and take care of it.
