I have this hungarian R61, that my father bought at a gun show in the early to mid 90s: http://www.hungariae.com/FegR61.htm
From what I can tell from that website, it is a slightly smaller version of the FEG PA-63. I would like to put Wolff springs it it, and am thinking the P64 springs might be the same.
Anyone have any ideas?
After going through this forum, I am also going to have to get me one of these P64s!
How similar is p64 to Hungarian FEG R61?

Tough call. You could certainly try it, but be wary of that aluminum frame - inspect for any sign of unusual wear when using the P64 spring (if you can get it to install ok in your R61).michael03a3 wrote:I have this hungarian R61, that my father bought at a gun show in the early to mid 90s: http://www.hungariae.com/FegR61.htm

That is a really neat pistol. Did the spring break? Or do you just want to install a new spring? I'd stick with stock until the situation demanded a replacement.

+1 on not replacing it unless you need too.

Springs are fine actually, was looking for a little less recoil. I am thinking about shooting it in a mil-surp handgun competition in the spring, and a lot of shooting does wear on the wrist. But you're right, it really is a neat gun, shoots very accurately

They're pretty similar:
Heck, I've bought a Wolff 24-lb (extra-power) PPK spring for mine.

Thanks Erich, I hadn't thought about the PPK springs. I'll try it
