Thanks, Dfariswheel- I got it off this morning, and, you guessed it..... it ******* LAUNCHED into outer space, never to be found. Dang, and I was being 100% super careful not to let that happen. But, it did, and I'll be calling Brownells first thing Monday morning to order another clip. Oh well, I got it off and next time I do this, I will know what to do. Weird, but all of the postings I discovered on this web site about this project, everyone was 100% cautious about the plunger and spring. NO ONE!!!! worried about that little clip. Nobody replied to my posting here, so I figured not much to think about. Live and learn......... Jeepster
