There's a recent thread about trying to find screws and springs for an old, long out of production gun.
It was a reminder of how many guns I've been able to temporarily get back into working order using recovered parts from unlikely sources.
Old vcrs, printers, 'etc are full of screws, pins, springs and other little goodies that are very useful in repairing our shootin' irons.
So before pitching them, strip and save.
Just a thought.
