i field stripped my mak yesterday morn. blew it out with gun scrubber, then blew it dry with compressed air. i soaked it up with clp, let it sit overnight and today blew it out with compressed air again. i used a q-tip to dry the slide cuts and then started to polish the slide with a piece of cotton toweling. i snagged the safety/decocker and it fell out on the bench! i cannot get the blasted thing back in. is it a common occurance for it to come out? is there some secret to re-installing? it seems to me to be the only moving part in the slide. HELP! :roll:
