Nope those are rare now. I was lucky I was able to purchase the parts kits which included everything expect the frame a few years back. They rarely pop up on GB but they do if you catch it at the right time.

Full Service Package or SIG Service Package (if you need new night sites) should get you everything you need. May cost a bit more than doing it yourself, but you do get inspection by their smiths.

I'm looking for a slide and barrel. Either P228 or P229 legacy 9mm.

When these kits became available they were an unbelievable price because there were so many of them. Having said that, you may find one occasionally on G.B. or Ebay but they have gone way up in price to reflect the current shortage of them now.

Holy cow! For some springs!?!?

I definitely send it in for the Full service package at $85.00 plus shipping. Even at $65 to ship, which I'm sure you can do better, then your only at $150 total.

Here's what they sent back after replacing mine with Full Service Package. It does include everything in the parts kit right, or is there something else included I'm unaware of? It appears they replaced every single spring, pin, and grip screws. I also had what I think is an extractor spring replaced as well which is not in the parts kit.

I'd call SIG.

The factory service with the night sights installed is a good deal except for the $55 shipping which ruins it.

Not the same thing he's talking about- he is referring to the "all-but-the-frame" from demilled guns.

I'll check where mom's BF get his, he's built a couple of 228/9s from unmilled frames. Pretty sure he got the slides on eBay, I'm guessing the same for the parts kits.
