Don't attempt makeshift torsion bars. I was cleening my Leek and right after my cats finished chasing each other hrough my room lo and behold the torsion bar is gone. Using a bike spoke I attempted to duplicate the rod/bar based off a google pic. Something wasn't quite right... It slipped from my hand, hit my knee opening it 2/3 of the way and then landed on my foot. I now have no big toenail and a missing chunk of skin. Oww... the older serrations are deadly! I just found the darn bar.

Well, as long as you don't find out about me stabbing myself in both my arm (near my elbow) and in the top of my hand with 2 different knives, in the time span of about 4 seconds...(It's a long story...Don't ask...It WAS an accident.)...And then there were the 9 stitches and 2 shots that cost me a total of $2000...:o.

I'm going to stay off the Glockman train, and respond to your original post... don't do that again. ;) I'm not sure I would have attempted that, but it's good to know. I've had enough fun with the real bars flying around

Knowing myself, I WOULD try it with the bike spoke, and with MY luck, it would go flying out of the knife and stick in my forehead.:D.

my last big boo boo was from the Lahar. That thing barely ticked my knuckle while closing the knife. That thing bled so much I nearly threw gun powder on it and lit a match ;)
