Hey Marshal,
Remember all that duct tape you bought in anticipation of a terrorist attack? Just tear off a couple of narrow strips and wrap around each barrel and base pin. Just pullin your leg. Go out there to have fun and learn first hand how the old timers do it. We were all in your shoes at one time, and look at us now. We're all experts. Just ask. In fact, you don't even have to ask some of us. HAVE FUN.
