Model HSC Pistol / Simple green - will strip blue on interarms HSC

« on: January 07, 2018, 08:23:23 PM »

Very embarrassing, and I feel like an idiot . I spent some range time with my Interarms .380 . I was having some problems with the slide returning with out me inserting the mag . I figured I would try a good cleaning when I got home . A gun friend suggested that I not try to dismantle the pistol completely , but to field strip - remove grips and soak frame and slide in simple green solution for a few hours - rinse with hot water , dry with compressed air and blow dryer , then re-oil / cost with  hopp s 9 -

well - the simple green striped the bluing ! Needless to say I feel like an idiot ...

Anyone have an ideas on what to do now . Do I re-blue ? Is it worth it ? I really wanted the gun for a carry , so it was not a musumem piece or anything - I had put new springs and it had acted better , but could never be s trusted carry - minor ftl problems .  Help

Model HSC Pistol / Recoil spring Wolff

« on: December 05, 2017, 08:55:59 PM »

Hi new to the forum - really happy to have found this platform - I have a interarm Mauser - a 34938 serial number , the gun has a few feeding issues - i shoot ball Ammo ( Remington 95 Grain ) feeds great in my walther ppks . I have ordered a new Wolff recoil spring . I replaced it this evening . The spring said for early models . 7.65 / 9 Kurtz . The spring is actually about a half an inch longer than the old spring . Is this going to be ok ? Just seemed strange to have a different length. Slide racks , and loads chamber fine . Shooting with my gun club Tomorrow . Want to make sure going to be safe . All seems fine . I will bring the original spring if I need to change .  Thank you !!!  I posted this under another topic Mauser police issue - my mistake - should be under new topic  - sorry
