Now I posted a second one yesterday instead of today. And I am still wanting for content.
Uhhh, a buddy has a MAB Model D, which is similar to the FN 1910. It fired one and now don't fire no more. Broken spring? Reassembled wrong? Who knows!
Do I know an active competent gunsmith with his own bidness and business insurance? No I do not. Am I wary of doing gunsmithing FOR him? Yes I am. If the gun blows up in his hand after I touched it, then, well, I am in the stew.
Solution? Risk Covid, and have him do all the wrench turning while I observe. A broken spring is obvious and replaceable. A flaw in the field stripping technique could also be caught just watching. Plus, I know my limitations. "Yeah, that's next level stuff. Let's look harder for a gunsmith. Not like anyone specializes in these. I don't have to take you to a top end 1911 custom builder for this, but, it's beyond us at this point."
