Help with a part

MDS · May 13, 2007, 10:20 AM

I have an old Llama Max I. In 10 years this gun has never failed. But now I have a problem. The slide isn't staying back, after the last round. I think it's the pin and sping on the slide release? Any ideas on where to get one ? I don't think Numrich has any of these parts anymore.

That pin and spring hold the slide stop down, so if it doesn't move up the pin may be frozen. If that is the case, soak the slide stop in a thin solvent and work the pin in and out to free it up.

If the pin and/or spring need replaced, both should be easy to get or make. Gunsmiths have spring assortments, or you can order one from Wolff if you have the diameter.

Another thing to consider is maybe your magazine spring is getting tired with age, and not pushing the follower up with enough force. Magazines springs are cheap and easy to replace.

Ok, I feild stripped it. The pin is moving good. I looked in ethe magazine well, and the follower isn't always catching. It's the original mag. for it. Guess I had a DUH moment. Never thought of the magazine. Thanks for the help.
