Hello All
I am currently restoring my Grandfathers collection. Among them are three Model 61-3 pistols that were fire damaged. Rust and melted plastic removed. Broken down to just slide and frame but just can't get slide's to retract. Granted there may more melted gunk gluing inner slide to spring tube I cant see but it feels like I'm fighting a lock of some type. It seems the bolt is locked to the breach in some fashion...what am i missing ?
