I am going to assemble/disassemble an AR in a clear plastic bag!
I was swapping out take down pins to the enhanced extended version and PING across the room it went I thought I had it held back.
Luckily I have a bag full of spare parts.
I do like these pins you can grab versus the push em out with a bullet type.
What would be cool is a similar arrangement to the push button release for slings. Push a recessed button and release.

Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

An easy way to find errant springs and detents is to secure part of a ladies nylon knee high in the end of the shop vac hose and vacuum the suspected landing site with the hardwood floor attachment.
after my first ping- bong -bounce- gone never to be found
I ordered extra "ammo" in the form of springs and detents I had to wait several days on a replacement the first time I launched one [:0][:0][B)][B)] so learned my lesson
if the wife finds them ( if I give up and move on ) she will put them up and ask is this something you need [:D][:D]
I have also run the vacuum and checked the canister sometimes with luck also the floor vents// they must have magnets in them [B)]
I think its the Anderson lowers I bought, neat ideas they have threaded holes in the spring areas to allow a Allen head plug to hold them in during most takedowns
The 'pings' I can find,,,,,,,,it's the 'boings' that are lost forever,,,,,,,,[:D]
I got one for you. When I was about 25 years old I worked for an Oldsmobile dealer in LaGrange Ga. Across the street was tire shop that did work on truck tires. I was working on a Rambler front end and replacing a front coil spring. I had no way to compress the new spring to install it so I took it to the tire shop where they had a hydraulic press. The idea was to compress the spring assembly and tie it with wire so I could get it in the car. They put it in the press and compressed it and when they did it exploded out of the press. We heard a piece of the assembly hit the rafters one time but no other noise. The roof was about 30' tall. There was a very large front door about 25' tall and 30' wide. We never found that piece and to this day it is gone. It was a large piece that weighed probably 8 or 10 pounds. We figured it hit the rafters and then went out the door some place. Lucky nobody got killed. That thing was like a bullet.
The trick is to use the hoist (with a car on it) hook in the 'compressors' when it's the right height, and bobs your uncle. [^]
