I had so many Ruger 22 autos come in in a paper sack that people thought I was a bootlegger. "My danged brother-in-law took it apart!" I would take them back in the shop, put them together, and then rattle a bunch of tools, bang a hammer a few times, turn on a machine or two, and splash a little water on my face, and then come out all exhausted looking, and charge them $12.50.

On the Nylons, I had a special cardboard box with a hole in the bottom. I set it on the bench, ran the muzzle through the hole, and then removed the receiver sleeve in the box so it would catch all the spring-loaded parts that fly out of both sides.

On-the-job training.
