TT 33 buy or no buy?

You can almost replace the entire pistol for what some of the parts go for. Ive seen firing pins for sale at $40.-$50.00, etc.
 
Did you get in touch with CanAm about returning it? Seriously - don't go dumping money into the cheapest pistol in the country if you can get a refund and buy a perfect one elsewhere.

They'll take it back, I may go that route and order another from somewhere else. If I can find a replacement barrel I'll just do that and save the headaches of returning this one.
 
I'd return it if they said you could, there are a lot of very nice clean pistols available out there. I even seen a couple on the EE lately.
 
If you are into handguns then of course endless better choices
if you are into history on a reasonable budget then this is a starting point
you can not pass up ,this hand gun is the only reason i am considering
bothering with the rpal upgrade and related hassles

ALL gun owners should be RPAL holders. It REALLY is not that hard, a few mins of simple paperwork and a class ot test challenge. What IS easier is doing both of them at the same time tho!!! :p
 
It's really no hassle to return a pistol - I've done it a few times.

About all you need to do is the transfer, which they can help you with or initiate themselves, get your STATT in order once it's approved, and post it back.

You owe it to yourself. If the barrel was that bad, what else is corroded? Your firing pin could be rusted up, springs could be weak...

And your replacement barrel is no guaranteed fit. It could well be sloppy enough that you won't hit the broad side of a KV-1 with it.

Even if you have to pay return postage that's money saved over having a potential money pit that you will regret later

I'm wondering how I would legally transport it to the post office if it's going to be shipped? Can't exactly pull a pistol out at the counter and ask for a standard box hah. Our laws are such a PITA...

After it is transferred back to canams ownership, just box it up at home, call in for an statt to the post office, and your ass is duly covered :)
 
Just spoke with the CFO to get an ATT to get it to the post office. I asked about shipping, she mentioned it needs to be shipped with a trigger lock inside a locked container.... both this and my 1911 came in a simple box with no such security. How have you guys packaged restricted firearms in the past?
