Ya know fellers, if there is a new gadget or gizmo that pops up in the Gun Geek Forest - I am on it like flies on a turd. Cost is no object; nor are the scars from the old lady's rolling pin when she hears about how this fool and his money got parted.
I bought one of those new fangled electric powder measures where ya just type in the charge and modern science does the rest to dispense the charge and weigh it. When those high end cleaning rods came out I was on them like ugly on an ape and promptly bunged up my old lady's fine little .22 CZ rifle with it and got my gong rung again! When I regained concsiousness I managed to extract the rod and went down to by one in .17 calibre just so I could clean her rifle for her. Do any of you guys suffer from such spousal abuse too? I complained to the cops about it but they just laughed and said if my body ended up in a dumpster they would call it a justifiable homo-cide and give the old lady a medal!
Bastids.
So when I spied an M16 chamber brush I figured I could safely buy it and put it to work on my AR15...but the fuggin thing has some weird milspec thread that doesn't fit my fancy cleaning rod! Doh!!! I should have just pitched it in the garbage but I have a special stash for all my gun junk that didn't perform as advertized, or stuff that I buggered up and was too embarrassed to show the gunsmith or my shooting buds - and I was going to deep six this POS there.
Fast forward a couple years...and I found out the thread on this brush fits a cheapy pistol cleaning rod I have. And I'll be damned if that M16 chamber brush doesn't work wonders on cleaning the chamber portion of the 45 ACP barrel on my HK USP!!! It does a better job than even a 45 cal brush! I'll be damned! Sometimes the good guys DO win once in awhile.
So what kind of junk with no redeeming value are you hoarding in your 'junk pile'? I have old slings, solvents of dubious origin, swivels, shotgun chokes for guns I no longer own, ammo that is over 20 years old and probably a collection of dead birds and rodents that got trapped under the debris!
I think we need an EE for this stuff where we can sneak it out of the house before the old lady sees it and gives us hell for it. And if you grab something off it - you can smile and tell your wife that the price was right and not worry about getting clobbered for it.
Recycling is the way of the future, dontchya know...
