Pure torture to end 2017. I found this spring on the floor, dime for scale. No idea where this spring is from. ![[Linked Image]](http://blackfrogmusic.com/pics/temp/20171226_195207-549x502.jpg)

It's a dime. It came from a mint, someone probably dropped it on your floor.

Mag release spring from a 760/7600 My first guess too! But no, it isn't. First gun I checked, this is that: ![[Linked Image]](https://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/880x660/Primary/983/983604.jpg)

At least you didn't find it by getting it impaled in your foot, that would be pure torture.

kind of looks like the item sometimes as the"magic part" the spring on the on/off lever for a m2carbine.

The really agonizing thing is I have had other mechanisms apart in this area besides firearms.

Whenever the little widget that little spring was supposed to be holding open or shut doesn't stay open or shut anymore, you will know.
In the meantime, be thankful that 11 months ago Trumper was sworn in as POTUS and not the hag.
2017 was a good year.

Have you had any fishing reels apart. Looks like the design of many bail springs from spinning reels.
