broom handle hammer not locking back - Page 3

With sac ca stamp, it should be a broomhandle imported from China in 1980s.

For project C96, it's a special category. There are better base guns from time to time. For example, this one was sold just a few days ago:

Well... It's $240 more expensive than that $450 one. But be honest, to reline the bore of that $450 piece, that will easily cost you $240. Fixing the hammer problem,,, parts plus labor,,, won't cost another $100?? After that, will it work... who knows... I understand people are doing project not for money, just for fun, but a better base will be easier to start.

This $690 one has a weird grip, which is ugly. But a pair of reproduction grip panels are easy to come, and cheap.

Im going to pass on this one. I have no issue swapping out parts and figuring stuff out. But 450 and redmans charges $215 plus shipping to reline, plus whatever parts it ends up needing I would be upside down in the thing in a hurry. Jim

I wished I had the tools and skills to reline or graft a new barrel. Unfortunately I dont have the tools so that is a expense I would have to pay. And who knows whats inside the thing thats wore out or about to break.
The reproduction stock rig is pretty cool but ebay has them for 80 dollars. So its not really offsetting the price that much. And in the end she I get tired of the gun ill never recoup my money, or even most of my money. Jim

The ebay repro stock rig was available $27 in Beijing. But to buy it, you have to buy a $1000 airplane ticket, obviously not worth it

My vote goes to the new barrel graft:

Seller said, "I fired a single round from it, it worked".

That implies it cannot recycle correctly. This long barrel must be heavy, too much recoil energy is allocated to barrel/receiver, and too little recoil energy is allocated to bolt. If it cannot recycle correctly, that's normal. Barrel of this length is going out of range of the original design specification.
