Recently picked up a pair of FIE .22 Revolvers, Both had issues but I have been able to make a complete one from both. Now I am working on the 2nd. I am looking for a rear sight,(dovetail type) as well as a Hand and Hand Spring. I have checked all the usual places, numrich etc. and they do not list the parts I need. Any ideas or anyone have a parts gun?
Currently I have spent a couple hours making a hand, but am unable to get it to cycle the cylinder reliably. I believe that it may be a problem with the spring but have been unable to bend it so that it holds the hand out when hammer back and keep the hand clear of the cylinder when the hammer is forward. So, anyone local to Austin have experience working on these?
The two guns are identical in their parts. One is a FIE Mod E15 the other a Tanfoglio. Anyone know of an idea of what other gun is the "same" parts wise that I may be able to find parts for? The intent is to get them both working and put them into a presentation case so they will not be fired often (if at all) other than to test my work. One has a brass body the other is metal. Polish, duracoat and gold inlay will be used to complete the finish on both once I get them working.
Any Suggestions???
