Ok I got it, never mind. But what is the pencil test? Hold the unloaded (I say again, unloaded ) pistol muzzle-up, put a wood pencil - eraser down - all the way into the muzzle, and pull the trigger. If everything is working as it should the firing pin will hit the eraser and shoot the pencil out o...

The spring came off the trigger when you removed the slide?

Could it be that the slide stop spring is stronger than the magazine release? In other words, instead of the magazine follower being able to push the slide stop up , the slide stop won't budge and the pressure exerted on the magazine follower (by its spring) pushes the magazine itself down and the a...

I've never tried one of those extended magazine releases (not even handled one of them), but I'd have to wonder.

I'd also try to pick up some decent ammunition - Sellier & Bellot, RWS/Geco, or Fiocchi.

"Laukart", as he calls himself on GunBroker, has been around for a long time. I've made several purchases from him. Good guy to deal with.

Nice P-64! If you do decide to have it hard-chromed, I highly recommend Mahovsky's Metalife.

Ahoy! I agree with dfunk, I painted my front sight red, and the rear outlined in white. With this set up the sights show up great! Problem with these great little pistols are just like peanuts- "One is not enough!" Transport out And I agree with Transport. I always use Testors model paint...

Sure did. (Except that it doesn't look much like a P64 anymore. )

More than we can count.

Send Denes and Gustav Marschalko (http://www.marschalgrips.com/) an e-mail and see if they can help.

any one know the best place for a new magazine spring. I found on wolf the following, http://www.gunsprings.com/index.cfm?page=items&cID=1&mID=50 but am confused as if that spring is for the P 64? any ideas for new mag springs? Nope. Those are for a 1935. Wolff doesn't carry any magazine sp...

Would getting it reblued cost much? I'm not usually one for altering the original finish but just wanted the thoughts. I know it's not a rare or expensive piece, but original is original. If you want to get it re-blued for cosmetic reasons, a good hot blue job (including disassembly and re-assembly...
