I am so glad you got it out. Sometimes when things are going bad for me I just have to put the thing down and come back to it at a later time after I have calmed down.. I've even been known to do serious damage to things when frustrated.
Not to threadjack, but...
Cayugad's comment is true for just about anything. I am an I.T. guy. When things just aren't going the way they should be, there comes a time when you just have to step away. The difficulty for me has always been the stepping away. You want to keep at the task, but then comes that little voice that says: "Robert, this just ain't gonna happen right now. Walk away and chill out for a while..."
Kind of reminds me of the time when my new Ruger 17HMR wouldn't boresight properly. I spent weeks selling stuff on eBay to save up for it. Was all stoked when I picked it up. Put my Leupold scope on it... it looked realpretty. Took the rifleto the range and the darn thing just would not sight in. My friendly gunsmith told me the receiver was all whacked out and the brand new rifle would have to go back to Ruger for repairs. I was so pissed I just about threw the gun in the wood chipper.
Thankfully I don't own a wood chipper!
Best of luck Mauser06. Situations likeyoudescribed are incredibly frustrating. If it is any consoloation: 1. it happens to all of us from time to time (God is not singling you out for personal punishment!) and 2. there is a personal growth opportunity here you can benefit from. That is after the pain and frustration have gone and you can look back on the situation and learn from it.
Just my long winded 2 cents worth.
