As far as I know, the only part he can't sell you without a FFL is the frame (with or without internal parts) a spring doesn't fall under that law.

If you still have the broken pieces of the original spring, you might consider having them laser welded back together. I've had it done on more than one flat gun spring and so far have had no problems after proper clean up. The person I use is:

Or try Abe Chaber in CT. He is a master at making springs and is an old-school German trained gunsmith.

Boy... all people need to do if they want to buy a spring is ask. Instead of jumping through all these hoops. Just sayin...

I think if there was a legal or liability issue, Dixie would have indicated as much. Sounds to me like the guy wanted to make more then just selling a spring.

I have seen a partial inventory of Brian's Parker parts and I am quite sure he can accommodate 95% of any request with an original or new part. Many of the fits-all parts don't really function correctly even after alterations.

Thank you all. Here is another for you. After driving to Darlington a second time and not able to purchase a spring from them as I mentioned before, I said I would go back home and collect all the parts and bring them back and have a spring fit to my gun. I was told I had to assemble the gun before I brought it in. I then asked about how long it would take and was told I would get my gun back in January maybe February.
I went home boxed everything and sent it off to Dave Fjelline. I talked to Dave today and told him my gun should arrive Wednesday possibly Thursday. He said if it arrives on Wednesday he would do it Thursday and it would be on the way to me on Friday. Problem solved. I tried to deal local and have the gun repaired in a short time, but as always with my luck it never works out. If I sent it to Dave when it happened I would have had the gun back a week ago. |
