I recently acquired an Interarms PPK .380. The slide was locked up and the trigger wouldn't function. I discovered the hammer block spring has slipped between the hammer block assembly and frame.
I ordered a new spring kit from Wolf and installed the new spring . The hammer block retaining pin was also broken so I was able to locate a used one.
I installed the new parts and everything functioned correctly while working the slide, trigger and hammer several times. Then it locked up again. I removed the grips and sure enough, the spring has slipped past the block again and it's locked up.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks,
Lou
