Would like to pull together some recommendations on what to replace/refurbish/check after buying a used PPK.
I would start with grips - if worn/loose/cracked they're easy to replace. Source from Earls' all the way to eBay. Range from $50-$125
Springs - Recoil spring is good to replace along with firing pin and hammer spring. Wolff kits available at Midway, Brownells, Wolff, etc. I would replace all these after buying one with unknown history. Cost is pretty low. About $20.
Firing pin - Good source is Numrich. Again, for the $26.50, worth it for peace of mind.
Good cleaning and lube.
Anything else?
