Gun Troubleshooting Chart

[Scoundrel]

After extensive and exhaustive research, I have put together the optimal troubleshooting chart for gun problems, as provided by the many experts that share their unassailable knowledge and experience regarding all firearms, on internet forums. You need look no further; this chart renders 95% of forum discussion on the subject obsolete.

Apparently the attachment uploader shrunk the image to 620x280, at which point it's not very readable. Sorry about that. Let's try it this way:

Bawanna, jocko, Greg, et al, why don't we make this a sticky and save ourselves all that effort? :roll: :banplease:

every item on the left points to the every item on the right??? Am I reading that wrong??? example " Inaccurate and then it points to weak springs. Why would weak spring lead to inaccuracy?? if the gun goes bang!! Mind u I am not trying to knock this down, I am just trying to uhnderstand..

Of course my revolvers do none of the above!

Hmmm, why is my right leg 4 inches longer than it was before I read this thread?

That is exactly right, yes.

Because it is a joke, laced with sarcasm. The concept is that nearly every thread on a gun problem seems to contain all of these possible explanations, including improbable and just plain wrong suggestions.
