Default The hammer does it again
I have just finished 'fixing' a couple of Uzi mags that have been misbehaving. I started with a thorough clean, then went to see if the followers slid freely, one did not. A few light taps with a hammer on the bent steel and she is sliding freely.

If there if anything you can fix without a hammer, someone else can do it.

And if all else fails, get a bigger hammer!

All you need to fix anything is a hammer, duct tape, screwdriver and a clothes hangar! If you can't fix it with those 4 things, it "ain't" worth fixin'.

Your other mags should be done soon, not meaning to talk in code mate, but you should have guessed who this is by now. Speak to you soon mate.

Well hello. Yes I know who you are. I should say at this point while I hate admitting there are people who know more about guns than me, this is one of them.

If anyone had any tech questions, this is the man....


Your very welcome, 'Dick'. (So, no point in phoning you tomorrow then).

For any putting two and two together, its 'Dick' who will be trying to resolve the M4 issue for me and many other shooters. If you read this, good luck, and why are you on line and not figuring it out?

You really need me down there.....
