Classic "Idiot Mark" porn . . . . (real men post their oopsies)

So...... when tightening down the barrel nut on my first AR build, I was using the AR-15 tool backwards with just the three "guide pins" to tighten it. It wouldn't hit the torque specs because the "pins kept rolling over the points on the nut. Finally I realized it and turned the wrench around, but I still had to file the nut down to get it to work.
 
Dropped my favorite Springfield stainless 1911 out of a "what I thought was snapped" horizontal shoulder holster while bending over to pick up some brass. I almost cried! Two nice, BIG dings close to the front of the slide, and one right on top of the front sight....Brother-in-law was there to point at me and laugh !

Trust me, I worked my ass off on this to try to make it go away!

I have a kimber like this one that has a mild carry melt (or whatever they call it).

But a gun isn't really yours, until it's got much more character than that.
