Firearms that break....

I got my copy of the Dillon catalog today and sandwiched between the babes was a great, if not short, article about firearms, mostly pistols that THROUGH USE , break. I thought we could do the same thing here. The article was one mans opinion, based on his experience of owning a range and renting pistols. Rather than rant about some quirky thing that happened, I was thinking about some part that a person should have on hand,if they own a particular gun, or some occurance that is unique, but rather common, to a certain firearm. Surely with all of our thousands of years of experience we could come up with some kind of a handbook for information on breakdowns. I like Remington 788 rifles and I can say that the bolt handle coming off on a hard rack is not uncommon and to some degree, can be expected if you abuse the firearm.[:(] Can anyone add to this list? Thanks

  I keep an extra firing pin for my PPK/S after the first one chipped.
  Walther was pretty amazed their titanium pin chipped in the first place, but sent the replacement, and I bought an extra.
  
  When I lost a Buckmark spring, I decided $20 in small parts was a good investment for my sanity, instead of spending a day searching for the lost parts.
  
  It makes a nice extra when selling a gun, along with papers, case, and a good schematic.
  
  It seems most serious 1911 shooters at the range have a nice collection of parts. Just about everything except an extra slide and frame.

  You'd need a suitcase of pins, o-rings, springs and some Scotch Tape if you own a AR-type!

  HK-4 .380s old model discontinued in 88. The frame will break at the thin part of the trigger guard. HK won't replace the frame as it was discontinued[:(!] These were a multi caliber with seperate slides one for .22 and .25 and one for .32 and one for .380. I think the problem is in useing .380s in a weak frame - they should have stayed with the .22/.25s...
