That's why someone invented the ISPT - Idiot Scratch Prevention Tool.

There actually is an ISPT "tool"! Found it on YouTube....wow

I did it the same way!!! Lol, I remember thinking "I'm over my head ". Great feeling when it's clean and reassembled.

Yup, had the You Tube video right in front of me, pausing it every few seconds to catch up. The whole time thinking; why did I start this!

My great feeling didnt come till it went bang out the pointy end!

I remember my first time. Scared the heck out of me. I was so worried I would ruin the gun. Then once it was apart I was thinking that this is the most simple device I have ever seen with so few parts.
