You are going to wish you bought more ammo

And a shooting glove.

My 1967 has a new 18# hammer spring and 22# recoil. Firing Wolf, Brown Bear and Hornady CD. No glitches or light strikes yet.

(Can't say the same for my FEG PA63; put in the lightest Wolff hammer spring and nothing but light strikes. Wow.)

Nice instructions.

On replacing the hammer spring, I didn't remove the sear pins and it seems to have changed out fine.

I have a 9# hammer spring in now, and it seems far too light, although I don't have any range time yet. I can imagine it giving very light primer strikes.

I hadn't seen the new price. And I ...

I recommend Gunbroker.com auction site instead of retail online sites for mil-surp type guns. Photos of the actual gun which you will bid/buy are often on gunbroker, and you can of course send email to the seller. If either of those are not available, then just avoid that auction listing. My P-64, ...

Noob here. Just bought one of the $199 and it was in pretty good shape except the safety looks parkerized instead of blued. For a 40+ year old surplus gun, I'm not fussed. Aimsurplus now has 'category 1' and '2' P-64s. I have always liked doing business with them, so may think about picking up anoth...
