Gun work
Posted: September 13th, 2007, 8:09 pm
I just finished a complete disassembly, cleaning, deburring, polishing of all contact parts and reassembly of my P-64. I spent part of yesterday and today with an old friend who is a well qualified gunsmith. All went well except for reinstalling the trigger. Couldn't figure out how the damned trigger return spring went in! That's what caused the spillover to today. Finally reinstalled it with a slave pin in place and then drove it out with the trigger pin.
The action is a whole lot smoother than it was. It is still not 'slicker than owl sh*t' like I was hoping for, but my friend says it will also shoot itself in and will probably smooth out even more as time goes on.
Needless to say, he was very impressed by the cost and overall fit and finish of the pistol. My next stop will be the range. I'll let you all know how it shoots!
