    unicorns are real aren't they?

    "Which again is great as I used to find the only thing that would reliably fit the slot was a coin, and I never had one when out shooting." @Beetroot I used to put a 5 cent coin under one of the turrets on my 22 for just that occurrence. Still there

    Yes, but I find they disappear when I don't take my medication.

    YES ! The curved screw slot. NONE of your 20 screwdrivers can fit & turn it without gouging. And its dimensioned to take a nickel or shilling or the rim of a .303 Brit. Only Din Collings himself could ever have turned it cleanly.

    Fixed with a hacksaw blade of appropriate gauge and an impact(!) driver and 4-pound hammer.
    Used to be a fine wine - now I'm vinegar.
