HuskyRich Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Was just putting my mossberg 9200 back together when I accidentally dropped the bolt, it must have landed on the extractor as that popped out and I realised that the little spring and plunger isn't there anymore!How much tension are those springs under? I've just spent an hour and a half on hands and knees but can't find the darn thing... How far could it have gone?! If I can't find it I'm boned as they arent made or stocked anymore!

HuskyRich Posted July 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Unbelievable. After searching every item and crevice in the room and moving out all the furniture I looked at the bolt again and realised that the plunger has been pushed back into its recess!Spent 5 hours for NOWT.So was putting all the furniture back in and managed to tear my big toenail off and its only half attached.... Off to a&e it seems sigh. this is gonna be a long **** night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grrclark Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 Look at the positive side HR, your toenail will heal and cost you little other than discomfort, but the priceless spring and plunger are found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he managed to find the spring and hurt his foot so it kinda worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuskyRich Posted July 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I really shouldn't be allowed to have guns. I'm a complete disaster area 5 hours sitting in bloody a&e as I rang the 111 number and they said I should go, only to be told that they don't have the time or staff to do anything and I should go to my nearest day centre/doctors when they open All sorted now. Havent even been to bed yet, some holiday this is turning out to be. Was supposed to be in the lake district for a week but the one week I'd booked off in advance and its utterly abysmal weather up there. Sigh. Also I swear this gun is cursed. Last sunday it spat the bolt handle out and I spent about 1 1/2 hours picking my way through grass to find it again. I love my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraivi Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 If you cant find it, pm Wabbitbosher on here, he should be able to get you sorted with parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
