      Back in the 1980's, I lost my M1 Carbine hammer spring guide in my garage. Haven't found it yet but I still keep an eye out for it.

          I launched a Kimber 1911 recoil spring plug (SS) about 15 years ago.

          Found it last year in a box of nickel plated 10mm brass. Damn near identical.

          Did I do it, did it do it?

            In 1975 I shot up a bunch of WWll 30-06 still packed in the original boxes, my Father brought home from the PI. Who would have thought that it would have value in later years. I did save the boxes, but the contents is history lost. Good Luck on finding your lost part.

              I shot the cylinder release plunger and spring form my 686 in my garage not long ago. Still have not found it.

                There is a front site post for a Browning BDM somewhere out at Octillo. It flew off and hit me in the chest, never to be seen.

                  Or he can wait until it rusts orange and leaves a spot on the floor, making it easy to see. The plus factor here is that it will color coordinate with the magazine.

                    I can top it. Shot an M1 carbine slide spring guide rod thru 1 piece of a double pane window when doing a tear down. Good news was it was easy to find, by my wife.��
