sirs,

would replacing certain parts of your pistol by yourself post any problems?
for example: replacing the mainspring housing, changing the firing pin and its spring, changing the sear spring, etc.
what parts/items should only be installed or replaced by a competent gunsmith?

thank you

Sear spring, disconnector, sear and hammer. Unless you're mechanically inclined like mc_oliver who knows how to use a file.

Peace.

It would help to have a caliper, mahirap yung tantya lang.
Remember, a little filing goes a long, long way.
