Another 2nd Gen rescue/restoration
After three years my rescue 659 is done. Numrich finally got
some more grip inserts in, and I got one.
This 659, while not a total basket case, was way messed up. The side plate and ejector was bent, and the slide stop plunger and
spring didn't work. It was missing the right side safety lever, and had a black plastic, (not arched), grip insert and Pachmyers.
I got it for a great price, and really wanted it because the finish
was almost perfect. So total disassembly, cleaning, smoothing,
new springs, and other parts, made it new again, and it matches
my once TOTAL basket case 639.
