Hey Guys, This is my first post so pardon if anything is out of order. I picked up a Walther p-38 built in the spreewerk factory in what I can trace to 1944. I'd been looking at picking up a p-38 for some time now, but somehow the firing pin broke.
Is this a common occurrence?
I'd taken the gun apart to the frame cleaned it all up. But after reassembling was checking the slide and the tip of the firing pin snapped off. I've already ordered a new one, but I wanted to see if it was something I did and how to correct it or if it is the poor machining of the later build dates.
Thank you.
