What should I do? I will never by another walther if this is the way they treat customers who invest in a supoosed "quality weapon."
Well jballz,
I have not had coffee and it's way early but maybe I can find you help .....
First .... don't judge Walther by how S&W is treating you or your PPK/S that was not made by Walther or S&W.....I understand it says Walther LLC on the slide but this is a Interarms leftover PPK/S and is not made by S&W or Walther in Germany.... they wouldn't even have parts for it... when Interarms/Walther LLC and Walther USA went under their inventory was sold off.....
I just a few weeks ago won a auction on ebay for something that is leftover from Interarms...
anyhow.... I know lugerdoc bought a lot of that stuff....
Earl's wouldn't be able to help since his parts are all German made and not from Interarms.....not sure why your gunsmith was so upset about this.. but when it comes to Walther's, Earls is the man to go... though he might not do it free of charge.
So you can look on the P38forum.com for "lugerdoc" or Tom Heller from Missouri or hellerarms...I don't have his info or I would not send you looking for it on another site.....
or you can blame S&W and Walther for a product that was not made by either of them but was a product of a company that was just trying to make things easier after the 1968 GCA... it should say on your slide "made under license"....
