P-83 WONAD WOOD GRIPS

This is a request for information. In the past this group has discussed the availability of after-market wood grips, such as those for the P-64, in particular the split/2-piece design. I belive the best vender was in Europe? Does anyone know of a manufacturer(s) who is marking wood grips for the P-8...

P83 SLIDE LOCK

mirother, Again, thanks for the reply. I'm thinking about driving up to get one of the J&G P83s at the end of March. As with the P63s, I can wait 6-8 months for a shppmt. of extra mags to arrive - J&G would list them when they arrived. I agree, its not a good feeling having only 2 mags that ...

P83 SLIDE LOCK

Mirother, Thanks for the comments, VERY interesting. As for the 8-rnd. magazine(s): 1. I live in the "land of J&G" and they are offering a second magazine for $ale when you first purchase the pistol. 2. Interestingly, several writiers on the Internet have mentioned that Makarov magazin...

P83 SLIDE LOCK

Hello, After following the P83 WANAD for a few years it is finally becoming available in this country in quantity [read affordable price]. I have two questions regarding this pistol: 1. Does anyone have any general impressions about it AFTER owning one and shooting it ? 2. As this pistol has a slide...

HAMMER NOTCHES - 1st Variation Round Hammer

Norm, Ah, 'possibly a poor choice of wording (?) by 'Guapo. I did physically look at my hammer assembly, and it appears to have 3 "notches" in the round part of its base. Yes, it is NOT a half cock in the traditional sense of the meaning. But, the hammer appears to rebound to that second n...

HAMMER NOTCHES - 1st Variation Round Hammer

To follow-up on my earlier post, my 1st variation also has the 3-notch hammer. 'Not saying that it unique to this variation, but I did test it. Once you pull the trigger and release the hammer to go forward and hit the firing pin, it then rebounds (as mentioned earlier on this site) back to the seco...

TRIGGER PULL - First Variation Round Hammer

Papabear, Concerning the DA pull, I compare it to my S&W .38 Spl. snubnose. The P-64 DA has a pull through that is similar to my hammerless - you can pull it right up to the point of firing, and then stop (if you want) to aim, before pulling it the final distance. This helps steady the handgun e...

TRIGGER PULL - First Variation Round Hammer

It has been my experience that upon thoroughly cleaning this variation, 1964-71, that the DA trigger pull does improve quite a lot. If someone were wondering about installing the Wolff lesser-power trigger springs on this variation, I would suggest that you thoroughly clean your pistol, and then try...

Odd SA/DA problem

Norm, and everyone else, for that matter, too.... Without belaboring the point, everyone here is so helpful, it encourages others to be like-wise. My March 22 pistole was from the J&G "New Batch," and they all seemed to be "import-marked" P.W. Arms. It would be nice to have a...

Odd SA/DA problem

Hello: Read this thread, and checked my pistol. Unless I am mistaken, the only current importer of these pistols is: P.W. Arms, Inc. 8525 152nd Avenue Northeast Redmond, WA 98052 Phone: 253-882-1161 . I have not contacted them so am not sure how responsive they are, or if they offer spare parts. Hop...

New Shipment!

While Torpeau is probably correct, in most of the earlier pictures on Dennis' site all that I noticed were the one-piece grips. I can only assume that these were the version that was causing complaints about cracking (?). I know that someone years ago came out with one-piece wood grips for that MAKs...

PURCHASED AN EARLY ROUND HAMMER

"Yes," to the effort to pull back the 22 lb. spring - should probably phone Wolff early Monday morning and ask them to substitute it with the 20 lber. I usually listen to "Norm," and probably should've ordered the 20 lber. in the first place [so, more is NOT always better]. Thank...

P-64 CLEANING ROD

Thanks for the replies.

I want to get the original cleaning rod that comes/came with the P-64, the one with the hinged head that also acts as a screwdriver; just have the complete set. I was hoping that someone might have a line on who or where I could get one at a rea$onable price.

While I still have not rec'd. a reply from Dennis, I did find a link to the "short style" wooden grip that he makes for the P-64: Quick link: http://www.marschalgrips.com/index.php?content=Polish_P-64-models&picture=p64padauk-blackstar2 . While his one picture is "of Padauk with a...
