Seriously I haven't gamed in 20 years, where do I even start.

slowly slowly day by day getting back on my fucking bullshit

So I'm short about $300 between now and the 15th, thanks to an unexpected emergency. If you have some spare cash, I could really use your help.

It's the sear's job to push the cocking piece out far enough to engage the safety.

So either the position of the sear is wrong on the receiver, or the receiver doesn't have the trigger assembly in the right place.

I know I sort of need to shut up about this but it's just so close to working. The safety lever can move when the cocking lever is out far enough: when the firearm is cocked and ready to fire.

But in this case the cocking piece is almost imperceptibly too far foward.

"I can't get this Chinese frame with a Serbian barrel to work with this Spanish bolt-- can you help? Oh yeah, everything is like 80 years old."

So this Mauser 98 receiver has a trigger on it. After cleaning it up, fitting a barrel and a bolt, it turns out the position of the sear on the trigger doesn't allow you to engage the safety.

Is it the trigger or the receiver? Or the bolt?

I guess you learn a lot buying junk.

So... this item. I can either get it from Amazon, Walmart, or a company that defaults to rounding up your order as a donation to the NRA.

Capitalism sucks.

The exact moment I lost it, recited just before the credits:
"Unable to perceive the shape of You, I find You all around me. Your presence fills my eyes with Your love, It humbles my heart, For You are everywhere."
