Thanks Guys for all those who weighed in with a response to my trouble with my Interarms Mauser.....so after reading what everyone said......especially about not letting just a regular gunsmith work on it.....I made a phone call to Tom Heller (Luger Doc)...and we discussed the problem....turns out that when Interarms went out of the Mauser Business...he bought the spare parts......SO....tomorrow morning......right after my Cardiac Rehab workout....gonna FEDEX it to Tom for a good going over.....I really like the pistol....especially the American Eagle crest on the front and the "Original Mauser" logo on the back.........so after Tom gives it a good going over......it will be a "keeper" for me..........and again.....I appreciate all the advice....this is a Great Forum......
