I collect Frommer pistols. I bought one that was missing a part. None of the usual sources had it, so I put a WTB ad in the Classifieds. cee_kamp very generously offered to make one for me gratis. Turned out another of my Frommer's had a wrong part, so he made me THREE! I now have a spare to boot. This is what makes this place the BEST!
Thanks again Jon!

This thread is useless without pictures.
Frommer pistol pictures by kz1000, pictures of the parts not available from conventional sources by me.
Note on the Frommer pistol, the recoil spring and associated parts are above the barrel. The parts I made for kz1000 serve the same purpose as a recoil spring plug on a 1911 pistol.
Original OEM 100 year old + part on the left in the three below photos. It was a relatively simple job when you have an OEM part to copy. They were made on a lathe from steel bar stock.
kz1000, Glad to help you out!This message has been edited. Last edited by: cee_Kamp,

that's really nice that people here contribute what they're good at.
And, that's different from being expected to work for free for doing something you do for a living. I've had "friends" for whom I did things for free and when I asked them to pay for some of my actual costs, they said they'll go to a "professional" to do it. And this was doing taxes for them so it's not like a professional would have done a better job.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
