Youngsters!

I did when I was a pup. I have since learned that I can garner the same information by standing back (at a safe distance, such as this forum) and observing others, such as yourself, mutilate or immolate themselves and witness the results.

Did that on my formerly owned CZ-452 bolt. This little clip thingy jumped right up and bit me!

I am still missing parts of two of my guns I took apart for whatever reason.

I am dismantling my AR and in the process of removing the retaining pin and spring assembly the holds the recoil spring in place. Sproing, zip and the retaining pin and spring are gone. I look up the parts in the Brownells big book of parts (the holy grail) and order a spring kit. It arrives and I reassemble the AR. I am cleaning up the shop and there is the missing spring.
Same thing happened on one of my 1911's. Safety and slide retention pin retainer zipped out and was not to be found. Same process with Brownells and found the pin sping 2 days after the new part was in the gun. Have spares now.

As an adolescent I often found myself "seeing" how far I could bend something before it broke, then being mad about it breaking. Yep I had issues.

I found that a clear plastic bag from a comforter has enough room to work in and usually catches the small piece that would otherwise shoot clear across the basement into the litter box. Do I neglect to use it sometimes after I went to the trouble to save it? Yup.

That's a good idea! (assuming you use it) Almost like your own little hazmat booth...
