Quick Question About a S/42

Logante · 10-24-2012, 09:50 PM

Ok so one piece is not numbered to the gun, I can live with that. The only problem is that the reblue has made the gun tighter than it should be. The gun stove pipes with every type of 9mm I have shot through it. WWB, Federal, S&B etc. My only option is going to be thinning the blue where the metal contacts reduce friction. Remove a layer of blueing not any metal.
The cross is in the right side dish. Just like described. The funny thing is that this pistol had reproduction Swiss Bern style grips on it. Older (1960's) reproduction and Italian made.

Its a shooter so I made it look how I like it. I had to go with a classic rosewood for the grips and use only Mec-Gar mags as I am afraid of damaging the older mags I do have.

My other is an original DWM Artillery model thats a little beat up, but shoots great and looks ok.

Thank you both for your input on this. I knew it was a shooter, but I just was trying to find out if it should have the numbered pin. The grips mag and finish were altered, I wanted it to shoot and because it looks sharp.
