Oh where oh where can I find a slide?

[spartyguy2001]

I have been searching for quite a while, and can't seem to find a slide for the p64 I am building. I can find just about any other part except this! Help!

I looked around and could not find any sites that sold P64 slides.
Don't know what to tell ya...my pistols came with the slides attached.

spartyguy2001, I don't know what your chances are of finding a slide. You mentioned you are "building" a P-64... it might have been cheaper to just buy one instead of build. After you buy all of the expensive parts, you're going to have a few hundred dollars invested into it instead of $200 or less. Parts are rare, not like an AR-15. Either way, to each their own. Go to Gunbroker and find Yakooza or genuine-militaria and send them a message. Maybe one of them has a connection in Poland that may have a slide. Papabear sold some parts from his gun but the slide was already spoken for. A member that has not been on here for a long time is boomer, he bought a slide a long time back from some feller selling his broken p-64. You might try to send him an email and he may reply. It's worth a shot, he may still have the slide in unaltered form. Good luck.

The slide has the serial number on it. I am fairly sure the sale needs to go through a gun dealer to be legal. It does seem like a kid sent one of the people at this site a slide through the mail and it seems like there was a bunch of legal problems. You may spend enough for more than ten guns if someone sends you a slide and the right person finds out about it.

To my knowledge, only the receiver needs to be dealt with through an FFL. Gun parts do not.

DocCasualty is correct. Only the frame / receiver needs to have an FFL. The incident that Robalan is referring to is when this one feller sold his broken gun and Boomer wanted the slide. For whatever reason he got upset about the serial number deal (which he should have known the serial is on the slide). Anyway, he hurled a couple accusations but later apologized. I think someone informed him of his mistake. So, if you can find a slide, you are legal, A-OK, to buy it.

Check ATF Publication 5300.4. This same information in that publication comes from Title 18 USC Section 922.

Thanks for the information.

Reciever only has to be transfered.

Check out Gunbroker.com There are quit a few P-64 parts listed. Do a search for what you want, then save the search, and set it to email you when it gets a hit on what you want.
