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

Enjoyed the info concerning the hsc in 22 caliper . I think what is interesting , is that the designer of the hsc - I believe went on to found Heckler and Koch . The HK4 has a 22 lr conversion .

Thank you again mr bird ! Ok - I wish I would have purchased a 32 hsc - hard to find ... the 380 on a hsc is a bit jarring compared to my ppks - ( ppks smooth as butter in 380  ) . I own 2 hsc - both 380 - one a safe queen ( never out of the box ), and the other a carry , and fun range gun - I have looked at the option of a new 32 barrel , and want to make sure I do not get in over my head in the change - do I need to change anything else besides the barrel and recoil spring ? What about the mags or pin stuff ?  ? I have never messed with 32 , but know hsc was orginaly designed for that caliber .


In playing with , polishing , cleaning my hsc s - will a different barrel usually match up well with the ramp that the is on the frame ( I mean the bit of frame ramp and the ramp on the barrel ) not sure , but that looks like a critical area .


Thank you Warbird for you time and expertise!

Wow - range fun today for me . I put about 70 rounds thru my Mauser - absolutely flawless / not one problem after my change of mag and recoil springs . I also spent a little time with the dremel . So if any of you have ftl problems - I would suggest new springs ... love the confidence in my hsc for carry . Love my Mauser’s ! Happy holidays all

Just back from the range . Very big improvement in my pistol ! The new Wolff recoil spring made a big difference . I put 60 rounds through . I had one cartridge that did not chamber correctly . Before the spring replacement , I would have had 6 FTL ..... I think a little more polishing on the feed ramp , and will now replace magazine springs ( on the way from Wolff ) . l will continue to tune , so I will have a trusted carry HSC . THANK you again Warbird .

Model HSC Pistol / Recoil spring Wolff

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
