HSc Repair

(1/3) > >>

jcorl:
Please help or tell me to take it to a gunsmith.  Once again, I am gaining courage to tear into my HSc.  I am still in trama from my last efforts.  This time may be a better experience, I am hoping.  The mag release, when no mag is in the gun, falls forward under tension and creates a problem when I attempt to insert a mag.  I take my best thumbnail and pull back on the mag release to open up the mag well to accept a magazine.  I have no idea, why my mag release falls so far forward.  Once the mag is inserted ther mag release works just fine.  Upon magazine extraction, the release falls forward under strong tension.  Will someone render a clue as to what is happening? 

Many thanks,

Jim 

pardt:
Jim, I would encourage you to try it yourself. In similar situations I will take a functioning gun similar to the problem one and slowly disassemble it and observe how it should look to compare it to the other.
What's the worst that can happen right? Lol

Warbird:
Jim, look at the Assembly Diagram on Page 18.  Pin 26 holds the Magazine Latch (16) in place.  Either the Pin is broken or the Hammer Strut has moved out of its recess in the Latch.  You should be able to see it by removing either of the wood Grips.  Let me know what you see.

jcorl:
Thank you warbird for helping me get started in the correct place. I will advise of progress.  Or lack there of.   Jim

I too encourage you to try it yourself.  Having a number of HSc and decent photographic skills, I'm happy to provide photos of anything you need at any level of assembly / disassembly.  In my experience, every one of these journeys has an aha moment.
