Ive been using dyneema wishbones for a while now but last week on holiday I broke one and had none spare, so out came the spares kit and I screwed on an articulated one I had only used a couple of times I checked the pins and they looked fine so off I went woohoo!
Couple of days later while reloading, just got the thing located and whilst pulling my fingers out from between the bands and the gun, BANG!! I felt some pain in my fingers, thankfully just a bruise and a ruined glove. What happend was one of the metal washers inside the screw on caps that holds one of the crimped ends of the wishbone had given up and snapped allowing the end to pull through the plastic OUCH!!
Those of you who use articulated wishbones may want to unscrew them and give those washers a once over once in a while
