The Unofficial P64 Resource Forum

I now officially feel like a member. Here is my P-64 and my PA-63. Pretty good condition, I think. The only thing I noticed was a burr in the chamber of the P-64. I think I may have done it field stripping it. I had some problems getting back together until I realized the slide stop was slightly out of place. I carefully filed the burr down, and I hope it is not an issue. There is a small "indention" in the edge of the chamber. Other than that I am pleased with the purchases. The PA-63 seems to be in very good condition. The PA-63 came with a manual with a picture of the PA-63 on the cover, but the pictures on the inside are of the P-64. Is that normal or does the manual work for both? I ordered through MCSFirearms.com. I highly recommend this site. My only regret is that I waited a year and it was $25 more than last year. This was the cheapest place I could find it. But anyway, now I'm waiting for the Wolff springs and ammo to come in. I downloaded the complete disassembly instructions and was a little intimidated. I know I have to get rid of the cosmo but I was wondering if I have to do the complete disassemble before firing or will field stripping and brake cleaner/Ed's red treatement be ok? I also have access to a electronic gun cleaner, but sometimes it removes the finish. Sorry for the long post, but I tend to be overly thorough before I do something. Thanks....
