new Grips PA-63

Chas · 07-17-2008, 06:51 PM

Just recieved my Rosewood grips I bought on Gunbroker.com. They look great, I'll post pics soon. I have taken this inexpensive pistol and turned it into a nice-looking, nice-shooting gun!!! As I've posted before I changed out the hammer and recoil springs with Wolf replacement. 11# and 15# respectively. I opened the toe seam up on the Uncle Mikes sidekick #1 and am using it for my CC until I decide on a new holster. I've asked before , does anyone use the Nitesiter glow sights?

Chas,
I haven't put the Nitesiters on an FEG yet, but I do use them on my little Firestar and an older model Para Ordnance. I'm quite favorably impressed. They were easy to put on and are very bright.

Sorry about the picture being so big. I finally found out how to make smaller. Thanks for the compliment.

nice gun,are the grips hard to change,thought i heard about 2 pieces that fall out. thanks.

Chas · 07-24-2008, 02:08 PM

Thanks broke, No they are not hard to change. I'd already had them off once to change the hammer spring. The first time I paid 60.00 to have a "Gunsmith" put in a #9 hammer spring to lighten up the DA trgger pull and had several light primer strikes. I wasn't going to pay again so I assumed the task. I also read that some parts could fall out. I was cautious looking at everything and changed the hammer spring out for the 11#. I have to give credit to someones' posting of detailed instructions and pictures of changing out the springs. I got those off FEG archive. The grips are really a nice addition. I started to go with Marschals grips, but found these on Gunbroker.com for a good price. The transaction went smooth and fast. I would recommend them. It took about 10 days from the time I paid for them till they arrived registered mail. If interested do a search under pistol parts for pa-63 grips, the seller is Aivia2001. I paid 29.95 plus 7.50 shipping. Paypal is the preferred payment, only.
