GOD DAM IT!! #%^&%#@$

I have more than one gun. Some are prettier than others and some are collectors items that would be hard to replace. None are more important than the people in my life that I care about.

If I allow someone to handle one of my firearms and it gets damaged, the fault is mine; either I chose poorly or fate was against me that day. Accept it and move on. Be happy you can indulge your desire for this kind of nice thing. It is not a gift given to all.

That sucks. I took a firearm my dad owned into a So Cal gunsmith for a tune up and a small fix (I could have done it but I really didn't know what needed to be done till he explained). Long story short it wasn't right when I went to pick it up. The small fix was now a small exposed pin on the slide that would easily cut my hand the first time to the range. I brew'd and thought I could fix it but no I took it back to have him fix it since I paid for it. He hastily fixed it and put sanding marks on the top of the slide... It really ruined my love for the firearm. Its gone to a new home and the funds put to a new precious firearm.

No need to bash the individual or the shop he runs (thats not my way). I believe in karma.

If that happened to me that "Smith" would have bought that gun at full retail.

Went shooting with my fiances uncle. He brought a glock, i brought an heirloom supermatic citation. While he grabs his gun of the bench at the range he knocks mine off onto concrete with the slide locked open. He picked it up and tried to act like its no big deal except for the fact that after that the slide never went into battery after. Took me countless hours with a sharpy and jewelry file to finally get the slide to close. I havent gone shooting with him since lol.

At least it doesn't look like this.

That AR grip tho! Lol.
The old port city bank robbery guns right?

[Sir Toast]

Isn't that the type of gun that someone made out of a shovel? I wouldn't be too worried about looks if your firearm can be made from garden tools.

Hey. I just tried shooting a shovel with a .45 ACP and it barely dented it. Shovels are tough.

Proof or it didn't happen. And if it works just think of all the money you can make selling your new "trauma plates".

WTF OP?
Its just an AK...

[Grumpyoldretiredcop]

So I guess the OP will never be moving his safety lever... after all, it leaves a scratch.

On the other hand, the roommate needs to be smacked around and forced to hold a heavy framed portrait of Mr. Kalashnikov at arm's length for hours as a punishment for being careless enough to drop a firearm. That or turn him over to the AK Operator's Union for use as a training dummy...

[hellayella]

gives your rifle some character...

honestly its not a superposed browning !

[BKinzey]

OP, a scratch on your gun is no reason to use our Lords name in vain
I'm very disappointed with the Calgun moderators for not deleting thread

Your guns not a piece of jewelry it's a tool GROW UP and get over it

Grow up and get over it. Now that's an interesting phrase to use in your admonishment.

If you place a wet towel over the pressure dent and place a hot iron on the towel the pressure dent with expand back out to its original dimensions in most cases. I dropped a new Garand off a bench at burro and used this technique to remove Five rather deep dents in the new stock. It's simple so give it a shot.

I was going to suggest the same thing.

[sdkevin]

CK, you didn't mention if he even had permission to handle it.

Next would be a very stern azz chewing for being a putz.

I like the iron idea.

For these others telling you to just get over it, remind them that for a fist full of cash and a signature or two, they can drag it behind their car for the next 18mos for all you care.

Until then, it's your stuff.
