When I first bought this pistol, the internals were so caked in rust you wouldn't believe. After a full disassembly, cleaning, and ordering some replacement parts, I sat down to put it back together. The parts are all the exact same as the ones they've replaced.
That was two years ago today.
I have read every guide, watched every video, and it is still a pile of parts. After I gave up for good the first time, I took it to a gunsmith. After two weeks, nadda, he was stumped too. Had me order an extra part because he thought I'd lost one, but nope, that part doesn't fit on this pistol.
I took it to another gunsmith, further away this time, same story.
What I'm saying is this: are any of you handy with these? Because I've owned this gun for 2 years, and never loaded or shot it. I will pay for transfers if I need to ship it, time, all that.
I'm thiiiiiiis close to just packing it back up in a ziplock bag, throwing it in the bottom of my safe and forgetting about it.
To be specific, I can get up to the point where the hammer goes in, get the hammer in, but then the safety lever won't fully seat. The little detent won't go in the slot for it.
I'd be just as grateful if somebody could just enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong, because I'm starting to feel like an idiot, or a madman.
Thanks for your time,
Rat
