Model HSC Pistol / Re: 43 HSc firing pin

I ordered the springs. Thanks. I polished the feed ramp with jeweler a rouge, and tweeted the stock springs a little and that did the trick. It fired 31 of the Remington fmj no problem. Then I got worried about the things I read about the nice stock grips cracking and put it up,after a good cleaning.  Do you think I should install plastic,and put up originals?

Thanks warbirds for the reply, I polished the small ball on the firing pin, and the firing pin hole, and it went right in.  Function tested with 5 rounds of 71 grain fmj Remington, fired flawless, except last was a half feed, pushed on the slide,it chambered and fired.  I would guess,the mag spring could use a little attention,or recoil spring or both, as it is an original period piece also.  The tiny ball machined right before the tip of the pin,keeps it aligned in the hole.  I agree with you,about not removing unless necessary, as if you lift the rear,the slightest bit too high, snap. I had no choice.  I did discover something interesting though, as we all know everyone one was copying the the ppk. The Bersa Lusber 7.65 is a copy of the HSc, they were never imported to the states,I got one from a sailor. Check it out. Again thanks.  I'll take a pic, and post here.

Model HSC Pistol / 43 HSc firing pin

okay, got a 43 HSc, army model from cousin who's father passed away, ( he's not a gun guy).  It was neglected,but too my delight the barrel, cleaned up great.  Having no experience with this model, I researched the proper break down of the slide components, and took them out no problem.  And everything cleaned nicely and looks great for its age. Reassembly: the firing pin will not go in, came out great,as directions said to do, acts like tiny guide ball right before the tip,just won't enter the hole at enough angle to go down in channel.  If I had no problem removing, seems,clean should be easier. Any Ideas? It's weird.
