old greybeard Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 Man, cleaning my AP4 yesterday, like a fool had the bolt still in and locked back and went to wipe sone grime from the chamber. Rocked it against the bolt release and home she slammed, with my left middle finger caught by that nice sharp bolt.Blood city! Note to self, remove bolt every time fingers go in chamber!
Matt.Cross Posted February 28, 2011 Report Posted February 28, 2011 To be honest, I'm scared to clean my LR's in any fashion besides disassembled. Sorry about your finger though man, that's gotta hurt....
SWshooter Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 Note to self: Remove bolt before removing fingers !!! Like my ol' Sarge used to say "dang boy, don't put them paddies where they don't belong !"
awesymoto Posted March 2, 2011 Report Posted March 2, 2011 <laughs> ouch, this happened once to me when inspecting my issue rifle before turn in... stupid armorers wanting every damn bit of carbon out of the rilfe. of course that was an M4 with a smaller and weaker buffer spring.

imschur Posted March 10, 2011 Report Posted March 10, 2011 Im missing some fingers and when I had a new S&W 4006 I was having difficulty with the slide. Ended up getting the meat of the palm of my hand stuck between the ejection port and barrel.
