Did the impossible!

At one time I was picking up project guns all the time. 4 kids later I have more project guns than I need. I was cleaning up my gun areas and came across the Grendal p12 I picked up from a guy who fully stripped the gun down and could not reassemble it. I picked it up for $30 figuring the 2 mags it came with would fetch more than I paid. It has haunted me for 3 years, I decided 1 more try and I would just part it out. I began with the same results I have been getting everytime before. Then I had some ideas and tried them out. After using the mag a dime and a penny nail I was able to get that freaking thing together. I racked it and pulled the trigger, click, it functions. All that is left is a live fire test. I can't belive it went back together.
Here is a pic of my free gun. $30 for gun and 2 mags. Sold 1 mag for $35. After I buy paint to recoat I should only be out my time. Sent from my SM-N920P using Tapatalk

What a great feeling to finally succeed at a vexing task!

 

Show us some pics - would be great to see them.

I am thinking about making a YouTube video. There is nothing out there on reassembly of the p12. Now that I have done it once it should be easy to replicate.

Figured this was a Ruger Mark something reassembly thread ...

I have not tried a mark anything but there are tons more videos on the marks than the grendals.

Thanks for posting this and causing me to do research on the Grendals, I had no idea he was the fella that started Kel-tec

I thought it was super cool that he thought up the (what is now) PMR30 years ago. I guess at this point with that company id be more impressed if they could keep up with demand. They do come out with some pretty neat ideas IMO

When I saw this topic, I thought it was going to be about you being a Lions fan...
