I.bought an fn 32 from a friend but can't figure out the model number and I'm trying to figure how to disassemble it picture coming later on my phone right now

it looks like this gun but the trim around grips on mine is chromed

Looks to me like it comes apart like a Walther PP...or PPK...or Makarov...and similier pistols.

Pull the triggerguard down and hang the front edge on one side or the other of the frame....then pull the slide back and up,,,then let the slide forward off the frame....barrel is one with the frame....reassembly is pretty much the reverse.

I think it's actually a Hungarian made FEG Model PA-63,,or Model AP-63. Commercial versions had the alloy frame left 'in the white',,military issue frames were dark anodized.
I can never remember which model is which.


Alot of the Milsurp collectors say these FN marked pistols are actually FEG (Hungarian) manufacture and were falsley marked as FN made pistols to better sell in the USA.
Wether that's entirely true or not,,I don't know. But the pistol is a bullseye for the FEG ,, I know of no FN manufacture pistol like it.

Being a Walther PP clone it takes down the same as Stevie explained. Actually they are decent pistols so I'm told. Never owned one myself.

Country of origin laws regarding where something is labeled as being made differ in Europe from the US. FEG guns have been sold as FNs and Mausers and Walthers. The one that I had years ago went bang when decocked. I disliked them since.

Get a magazine that is specificly made for the pistol.
Do some checking as the FEG models are confusing. With the discription posted from the auction it's most likely a FEG AP9,,the 32cal version.
Most of these pistols are found in 380cal and so most of the extra magazines are too.
I don't know if there are separate mags for the 2 calibers (it would seem so) or if they use the same one.
Lot's of info, sometimes confusing, on the net about the FEG pistols.

You can try stretching the magazine spring on the one you have.
It can give a little more tension to it and sometimes solve a feeding problem.
Take the follower and spring out of the magazine body. You may have to remove the floor plate to do that,,I'm not familiar with them.

Once you have the spring itself in hand,,gently and carefully pull/stretch it out so it's overall length is perhaps 1 to 2 inches longer than it was when you took it out of the mag. Measure first!

There's sometimes a top and bottom to the spring itself. If the wrong end is pushing on the follower, it can cause feeding problems.
Many of these military/police type Euro pistols are generic when it comes to stuff like that but it's something to look at.
It'll only go in one of two different ways. Try both for functioning if you're not sure.
Check for any kinks in the spring that may be causing the problem. Dents in the mag body can do the same as well.
