Last week my neighbor inherited a HK model 4. To make a long story short, I (and THR) did a lot of research and found it to be a 1971.
We took it to the range (it's a .380) and it seemed to be in fine shape.
It fired twice and the slide jammed. I took it home, cleaned, oiled, pulled prodded and finally got the slide off. A piece fell out. Didn't appear to be broken off. A search of the internet provided an exploded diagram of the gun and the part is called the "Buffer Plate" and appears to be part of the trigger assembly.
#26 if I succeed in adding the diagram.
Does anyone know how to get this back in? Gunsmith time? Forget it?
Nothing appears broken, although removing the slide is not easy on this gun.
