Do you own any Astras and if so, which?

I own several NC-6s. They are great. There’s nothing else on the market that gives you a six shot j-frame with a four inch barrel. The way the forcing cone is embedded in the frame makes them exceptionally strong for their size. I’ve run the hottest buffalo bore loads through them without a problem.
This may not be the case in Europe but parts for astras are exceptionally hard to find in the US. Astra closed its doors in 1997, so there’s going to be a limited supply. Also, having done my own work on several Astras, i learned that many of the internal parts are not interchangeable. These guns were hand fitted, so frequently the replacement parts have to be hand fitted. I wouldn’t do too much more than you’ve already done. Don’t cut off any spring coils, don’t touch the sear. Better to dry fire the crap out of it. See if you can get to 20,000 trigger pulls and it should smooth out nicely. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

And not least because you have decent grips! I had tiny wooden ones before, and after it renewed the skin of the web of my thumb on my right hand for the 70th time, I replaced them with more contoured wooden grips, but they still jump in my hand with the recoil... Quote:
