A-10-TZUN
Effective April 14, 2008, 2300H, my M4 is officially back in action.
After 9 months of silence, the staccato is finally back. The last time I was able to use it was during a training exercise in AAZ with the other Gandhis. Those mud filled days from another time back in my days of bumhood. And so, last night, after working on my lamp (another long overdue project) as well as starting to do the second batch of MD plates, (and carefully procrastinating on a hemangioma presentation I need to prepare for thjis friday…), I decided to re-shim, clean and re-grease my gearbox, as well as re-route the wiring once again.
Actually, I was able to fire it again last April 1- the 1st "anniversary" of playing with the Gandhi’s. Unfortunately it kinda locked up, and being the lazy bum that I am, it took me two weeks before I decided to make time to repair it (aside from the previous 9 months, of course). Those were 2 weeks of a compressed spring. I’m sure it’ll severely affect my carbines FPS level, but who cares… I don’t think I’ll be field testing it any time soon. I do intend to bring it during duty tomorrow to see if it still feeds right. A few hundred rounds from the roof-top of the hospital never hurt anybody I guess…
