Hi!
I own a FEG GKK-92C and can't find parts for it.
Have you had any luck?

drebdy · 07-10-2007, 12:35 AM

well u have a very rare pistol i think thats the main reason you have difficulty in finding parts, as for my P9R i have never replaced any parts on it yet, but a local gunsmith here told me he has parts that would exactly fit my gun, its from a browning hp and some from an fn and a charles daly, all these parts are interchangeable,

I just bought a PA-63 this past weekend at the gun show.

CrazyIvan · 07-18-2007, 11:36 PM

I have an FEG Mark II APK .380, it is a pretty accurate handgun for the $265 I paid for it. A buddy of mine works for the Sheriff's dept. He shot it and said it is more accurate than his 9mm Glock.

That is probably due to the less recoil of the .380/9mm shorty compared to his 9mm, but it is what it is...So I guess that is good. It field strips very easily. It is easy to clean and maintain. It does work off of the old design. That being when the slide is locked open, there is no slide release. You have to either remove the mag or insert a loaded mag, pull back on the slide and release, and it loads the chamber. I don't mind this design, but I know some people might. It shoots any ammo without failure, but seems to like the rounded or nicely sloped tipped rounds better, seems to load them a few hairs faster, but any will do. You will see in this photo I have flat-head range ammo. I usually keep Federal Personal JHP Defense rounds in it though when not at the range.

My only complaint is that I don't think the mag locks in securely 100%. It doesn't fall out or anything, but there is a fine line that if I put my pinky on top of the pinky rest, it sometimes has trouble chambering a round once in a while as I shoot. But, if I put my pinky under the mag, it works flawlessly. So, I have just gotten used to shooting it by putting my pinky finger below the magazine. Actually I am more accurate with it that way anyway...

But yea, hard time finding parts. I want to buy more mags for it, don't know where to get them. Might have to call the importer: Interarms, in Virginia.

EDIT: Sorry about the big azz picture. I don't know how to scale it down here...

I just traded my Star Super for a PA-63. I've been building grips for them for some time now but never actually owned one. Once I get a nice set of grips on it, I'll post pics.

swabjocky · 07-31-2007, 09:45 AM

I've got a P9R and a GKK-45

Swab, I have a .45 FEG auto almost new in the box. I will not eject the fired case and telescopes the next round. I can't find a disassemble instruction and the damn thing seems to have no way to disemble. Got any idea how to get it apart?

Doesn't that disassemble similar to a 1911??

There are a lot of threads and posts on FEG. Including my own check them out.

DrBoomBoom · 08-24-2007, 11:47 AM

I've got a PA 63, put new hammer, recoil and firing pin springs on it. Trimmed a couple of turns off of the extractor/safety spring to help with the overly stiff safety, and polished the ramp just a little bit. It shoots fine, more accurate than I am, and disappears in my pocket. I've gotten an IWB from Makarov.com and will start carrying it after I put one more box of 50 through it, been using MFS 95gr. +P. It's a good carry gun, if, God forbid, I ever had to use it for defense, I wouldn't mind being without it for a while (I've read some accounts of folks who never got theirs back), but yet it's accurate, reliable so far after 150 rounds before changing the springs and 150 since (only one failure that was ammo related), and the 9x18 round gets decently rated in tests I've read.

I just got my PA63 this week, haven't shot it yet, hope to this weekend. The DA trigger pull is awful, though, did your mods help that out any? I'm thinking I need to do the same things to mine, but I don't know any local gunsmiths yet, and I'm afraid I'd just frig it up if I tried to do it myself.

DrBoomBoom · 08-24-2007, 06:14 PM

rondog,

I did the fixes myself. Not what I'd call real hard...or real easy. About like putting on disc brake pads on a car about six inches long. I found most of this information poking around websites, but improvised a few things.

The easier job, to me, was the hammer spring which did lighten up the trigger pull.

You'll need a punch or a cut off nail with the end filed a little. Or what I used to use, an old allen wrench. First, check that the gun's not loaded. Second, check that the gun's not loaded, then do that again. Remove the magazine. Remove the screw from the grips. Take off the grips, be careful, there are little thingys that can come off of the frame but shouldn't if you're careful. Then take the punch and start out the pin at the bottom corner of the butt, when it's part way out, put the butt of the gun on the table, so the spring cap doesn't come flying out of your butt (hmm, that sounds bad). Remove the pin all the way and slowly lift your butt off the table. Then you can remove the spring cap and take out the hammer spring.

Now you'll need to replace it with the one you bought from Wolff's. I got (now here, someone help me, I'm using my memory) the 11# spring. Put the spring on the hammer pin and put the spring cap on that, starting it so the hole in the cap will line up with the hole in your butt. Slowly push your butt back on the table. Here I used a paper clip and put it in the hole in my butt to hold the spring cap in place, then I put the pin in the other side. Once it held the spring cap I removed the paper clip and tapped the pin back in place, finally lining it up with the punch. Then put the grips back on.

You can test the firing pin, then, by putting a pencil, eraser first, into the barrel of the gun, holding the gun straight up, cocking the hammer and pulling the trigger. It should send the pencil a few feet into the air, showing that your firing pin is working. Of course this is done with an unloaded gun.

The recoil spring was extremely easy, just change 'em with the tighter diameter toward the aft, but you're supposed to change the firing pin spring to a heavier one also so a weak spring doesn't snap into the live cartridge when the recoil spring returns the slide...double tap surprise.

To remove the firing pin you have to take off the safety. I found out the hard way that to remove the safety you're better off removing the extractor and the extractor spring. So here's what I'd do now:

Remove the Slide. Take a small screwdriver and pull the extractor plunger back to the aft of the slide, Then jiggle the extractor out, holding the plunger with that screwdriver until you can get your finger in to catch it and the spring. The other end of the spring pushes on the safety plunger, I'd try to be careful not to remove that from the extractor spring assembly channel. Then take the screwdriver and push the firing pin forward until it extrudes about 5/8 to 3/4 to the forward. Take a needlenose pliers or Kelly clamps and hold the pin forward. Now you can move the safety half way between on and off, jiggle it and it should come off the frame. Hopefully the plunger will stay in the channel. Put your finger to the aft of the firing pin and let go with the pliers so you can slowly remove it. Here the tensioner will probably fall out, no big problem. You can then change the firing pin spring. At this point I cleaned out all the channels with a pipe cleaner.

You reverse the procedure. First, make sure the safety plunger is still in the channel, then put the tensioner back on the firing pin, don't forget the little spring in it. Push the firing pin forward and grip it with the pliers. Push the safety back in and you can let go of the firing pin which should snap into place. Thread the extractor spring through the extractor channel, making sure the extractor plunger is there, then you put the extractor in, slip the beveled end (which is above the rod-shaped "foot" of the extractor) under the beveled end of the extractor plunger and push it aft until the extractor foot snaps into the hole at the end of the plunger's gutter and you're done. Again, the firing pin test is in order.

Now, if the safety plunger came out (or, if like me, you took the safety off first and the safety plunger and spring came flying out the aft into the safety's chamber) then you've got to get the plunger seated. Maybe it was me, but I found I couldn't put the plunger in from the extractor end, I had to hold the slide pointed downward and juggle the safety plunger into the extractor pin hole from the safety chamber using the small screwdriver, keeping my tongue out, and recalling words from my youth. But, it can be done, it's not complicated, it's just a b**ch.

Of course, after having cleaned everything out, when the safety still felt a little stiff to me, I foolishly decided to remove the extractor again. Luckily it went easily, then I clipped a few coils from the spring. Now the safety engages crisply and without difficulty. This particular procedure, I can't recommend. I didn't ask my local gunsmith about it yet ( it's fun to make him cuss) and can't vouch for its advisability, but it worked for me and I've put a hundred rounds through it since.

Good luck with the gun, they're good shooters.

rondog · 08-24-2007, 06:24 PM

Wow! Thanks Dr. BoomBoom! A great description, I might have to try it. Parts come from Wolff, huh? Gonna have to look 'em up.

GoodAim · 08-26-2007, 05:13 PM

I just did the hammer spring on mine it work great. I have had no other issues with mine so I think I will leave the rest alone.

novaDAK · 09-18-2007, 01:12 PM

I have a P9R which has been great except for the rare stovepipe (happened maybe 3-4 times in the past year of owning it, shooting it alot in that time) and I hope to add a PJK-9HP (P9M) to my inventory within the next month, mainly so I can have more parts interchange with a BHP and have a single action gun for a change

Dennis · 09-25-2007, 06:25 PM

I just reciently Recieved a feg hi power clone it seems well built
I like the thick blueing job
I havent fired it and I may never shoot it. It belonged to a dear friend that was killed last year.
I like the gun but I hate the way I got it. I hope to give it to his son some time in the years to come.
FEG's are fine guns. tuning ther springs is a common practice.

ezearln · 09-30-2007, 02:28 PM

I want another P9R, had to sell mine awhile back to cover some unfortunate expenses. Loved that lil thing, shot dead on adn not one single stoppage ever in close to 500 rounds. Some one here a few days back posted a Online dealer that was selling them and like a dummy I didn't write the name down and now I can't find the post it was in

K75RT · 09-30-2007, 04:46 PM

I am a fan of FEG Firearms. I have a PA-63, an SA-85M and a GKK-45. The PA-63 is a great shooter as it appears unissued. The SA85M is an AKM underfolder, it is pre-ban in mint shape. The GKK-45 has been extensively modified with a trigger job, frame chequering and the barrel has been ported through the slide. The forward slide has been serrated, a trigger overtravel stop has been installed, the magazine well has been bevelled and the whole arm has been given a matte finish...

The Ak looks really nice. I looked for some for sale and saw that they were asking 750 for one. Do you think that is reasonable?
