I have a woodsman sitting in the safe that needs to be shot, but I think it needs some TLC.
This one was made in 1937 and was my grandfathers.
The other side of the grip is currently missing, I'm hoping a little searching will make it turn up. Other than that though its probably been 20 years or more since its been shot. Its in pretty good shape, but I figure at the least it could probably use some new springs just for its well being. I figure at the least a recoil spring (although I'm not sure how easy this is going to be to install, I always heard to just not take it off the slide usually....) and a magazine spring. I've seen other people recommend a new firing pin, extractor and extractor spring. What do you think I should replace just to be sure it runs flawlessly and doesn't beat itself to death? Thanks!
