PARA Ordinance Single Stack

[bafsu92]

I usually buy from either Brownells or Midway for most parts since they carry all the main parts by all the big-name makers.

It is always possible the parts are not original, and the owner says he doesn't know the original owner since he bought it at a gun shop.

Also, for the record, it's not so much that I have a problem with MIM parts on the whole, it's just the overall quality of these, specifically, were very rough....and not what I expected.

I reworked one for a friend and it was full of MIM parts as well and he bought it new. I did one one it first came out and the only thing that was noticeably MIM were the disconnector and the series 80 safety parts, the rest all looked to me forged parts. I'm guessing they keep adding more of them as they use up their stock of old parts inventory. As far as changing the internals I like to get the cylinder & slide trigger pull kits from Brownells. It saves a ton of time to get an already matched trigger, hammer, sear and spring set. If you already know how to do all the work to get them to that point why waste your time when you can get them pre-fitted for about the same cost. You only need to do a very light fitting if any and you've got a really nice trigger, usually under four pounds.

Yep.

The last two I've done for a friend was C&S and pretty much dropped in...... Saves a ton of time.
