I had previously felt the washer was a line online fit and it rested below the channel that the c-clip is in. I had falsely assumed that was the diameter of the pin.
Turns out that there is a tiny ledge just below the c-clip channel, I crushed that with the pliers trying to loosen the pin enough to beat it out.
It is all FAR smaller than I can see with my eyes + glasses. Even with 8x Zoom it looks blurry to me. I can feel it with the exacto knife tho*
Ok, no big deal. We will be patient and pic pic pic pic pic pic pick at it until the washer lands. Unfortunately it was already perfectly line online so……….. If this were game day I would open up that washer a tiny bit, but let’s try.
Right, like I am going thru an appeals process. I would have if I received a “fix-it” ticket and not a 2-week gag order
then you can go on and click the links I posted and read with the actual rules are. I know… I know… It’s a private company and they can do whatever they want.
This is how you convert the most reliable generator on the planet to run on the most reliable fuel source.
I’m going to be purchasing one of these cats are similar this summer. I’ve watched other videos where they did load testing… And it’s pretty good. A normal EU2000 I will give you about $1,400 Watts. A normal EU 2200i might give you 1600 Watts. You going to lose a couple hundred Watts due to the propane’s energy density…. But you will never notice.

I tore the ClapperStorm (Thunder + FireStorm = ClapperStorm?) all the way down to its ill-machined bones.
Lets pause and find it a name:
The Bersa Firestorm
The California Thunder
The CA-Blunder
The Thunder-Clapper
The Clapper-Storm
The Thunder-Fail
The Thunder-Blunder
The Fire-Clapper
…..
I mean, the thing is so ugly… that AFAICT it didn’t even earn a 15min update to the manual! You can’t even download documentation that references it !!?!$@@&. Nothing makes a man feel more confident…. Than tearing down a complex and fussy assembly… that sets off explosives in your hand… Based on the blow up diagram of a different model!
grrr…..
So with the Hammer Pin seat “adjusted”, I can finally get this thing apart to pressure-wash the booLit-goop and mud-dust out of it.
I Don’t own all the correct tools yet, so I just go after it like a savage. I don’t have gunsmith screwdrivers, sets of cool rods, stiff little brushes, or any of that crap. I have what I have and try what I have to.
I know… That this time around… I can eliminate almost all of the variables associated with oiling, cleaning, etc. In the video below I am caught using a 15-year-old bottle of bore cleaner and half of a patch to absolutely scour the inside of the firing pin chamber.
I of course get it stuck in there. Compacted into a tightwad. When you make that mistake it’s harder to remove than you might think. It begs to get scratched up, deformed, gouged….
Anyway… I’m just sitting here trying to figure out what changed in my WordPress install. Lots of new features, but I don’t think I really like the blocks format
In this video I use a round file to *slightly* open the undersized orifice to allow the hammer pin to be removed as OEM intended.
As shipped… There was so much friction at the shelf that HAMMERING on it would not dissociate the parts. After rubbing it with the file just a tiny bit…. It’s a perfect “tap fit”
It’s not a slip fit, you do have to hit it with a hammer… So if there was an intention to have the pin not slop side to side, that was still be the case. I removed tiny amount of material.
This is the video that Youtube flagged, then gave me a Strike for. I was muzzled and locked out for 2 weeks. I cant post videos or text. I cant explain myself to audience or anyone who is actually listening. 3 strikes and you lose your account (fuckers)
TL;DR What I was doing was: Repair/Restoration/Maintenance/Learning/Teaching What I got flagged for was: basically MANUFACTURING
The reader can follow the link below and carefully read up on the rules. They are aimed at full auto conversions, silencers, ultra-size mags, 3D printing ghost guns, modifying lowers, live streaming the aiming of loaded weapons, etc. They also have some trip wires around profanity while monetizing (I am not monetizing).
In the video I am trying to make the Bersa Firestorm 380 (California Edition of the Thunder, a baby popgun) “Serviceable”. Very long story short, that pin holds in the hammer and various clap-trap in the ass of the pistol. The pin WONT COME OUT !$%!%^%! and the weapon is inherently UNRELIABLE when dirty (like WONT SHOOT)… so the only option is to make it SERVICABE so that I can …. Clean it… and make it work.
I was using a hammer and punches I was using an ice cube and heat gun I was using poor form hammering the frame like that I was using profanity (required)
This is as plain Jane as it gets for anyone who services their own weapons. This thing I am working on is a pea shooter, not a highly modified AR15 ghost gun. Youtube either has bad AI, bad overseas labelers, bad response to a user flag, or otherwise… BAD! Like hell am I going to get into a text message back and forth with someone overseas who types English as a third language (or worse yet a BOT…) trying to explain the nuance.
