Just as an aside, the guys at Wolff are fantastic. I had ordered a tune-up kit last nite, but with the added mag from Eugen, I needed a 2nd mag spring. Called 'em up, the order hadn't shipped yet, no problem adding the additional item.

Good guys sometime really do get the breaks. Hope good fortune continues.

Eugen's grips and mag have "made the scene"!

They both look great, I'm going to clean the grips with Murphy's, then put a coat of TruOil on them.

Sounds good, just don't add any mascara. And post some completed photos.

Zorba, I am glad you are pleased with the mag and grips. I was glad to share some extra grips and mag in my inventory. I frankly had too many. I've been helped by so many good folks on this forum and i saw an opportunity to help another forum member.

Remember without photos, it didn't happen.

I'm still waiting for the gun to ship, but I do have one coat of TruOil on the grips now. Had to hide my mascara first though...

Here's the picture with my other pair of .32s, and Eugen's grips mounted. Turns out the grips that were on it are actually, genuine Franzite! Which means they've been on the gun for some years most likely. Wonder as to the how/why of it all.

Anyway, the gun looks even better in person that it does in pictures, the BBL was dirty but cleaned right up and looks brand new! The piece does have a broken firing pin, which isn't terribly surprising - a re-pop FP is on order.

Now this may not be "news" to anyone here, but my research led me to believe that keeping control of the FP and its spring during reassembly can be a chore. Not true - see this short video for details:

Haven't seen that little detail about the FP spring assembly retaining notch anywhere else - makes it easy-peasy.
