it doesn’t look that complicated but I guess I’d have to have been born white in the states to have disassembled a real gun

They don’t care if black people have a gun to do that

While white people do own a lot of guns, so do non-white people in the U.S. it’s something like half the white people, and a 1/3 of the non -white.

Which is funny to think about with neighborhoods. If there are 125 houses in your neighborhood, odds are you are surrounded by 50 guns before you leave the neighborhood. Obviously it doesn’t always work that way because some neighborhoods are less likely to have them. (125 was the number in my neighborhood growing up, so I guess why that’s the number that popped in my head first)

You’re talking about the number of people who have a gun, but not talking about the number of guns that they have!

Well I do keep 6 under my pillow, 1 felt lumpy so I just flip them around trigger to trigger and it makes your pillow feel level.

Antique firearms are often fiddly to take apart, repair and reassemble. After all, they weren’t the most optimized designs and often required a lot of hand fitting to get things to work as compared to today. But they aren’t that complex nor were they designed like an iPhone to be near impossible to take apart and reassemble.

But, like most mechanical things, you really only need to be 5% smarter than the machine to actually work with it. A high bar for some I suppose.

sigh. See all those rivets? i doubt he drilled them out to enable that level of disassembly.

It does look kind of complicated, but with less than 100 parts how hard could it be?

Probably a fake post (b/c 4Chan), but maybe they got stuck at a specific section of the rebuild?

I used to do a lot of repair stuff and I posted a lot on the associated subreddits and stack exchanges related to the topic. I’ve seen a lot people with things much less complex than this post pictures like “how do I put it back together??? They’d get detailed instructions from people on how to do it, then post angry replies that people basically weren’t doing it for them and (I assume) give up

I intended to make a joke about leaving the screws out, but there are only 5. (Plus nuts and bolts.)

10 springs though. A lot more than I anticipated.

There’s an old saying in Tennessee - I know it’s in Texas, probably in Tennessee - that says, fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can’t get fooled again.
