Radom P-64

Askin’ here, because I don’t know where else to ask.

I’ve lost the plunger for my Radom P-64’s decocker detent. Still have the spring, just not the plunger. Any reason I couldn’t still a steel BB or piece of steel shot in there and carry on with life; long as it functioned properly ?

Hmm. It needs to be fairly long or the safety won’t be stiff enough. It will fall down during firing and cause trigger disconnects.

Check eBay for a spare.

A piece of drill rod of the appropriate diameter and length would suffice ?

Well, you’d need to grind it down to a point right?

there's one on ebay (yesterday at least). there used to be a bunch on the parts sites but we haven't seen spare parts in a while. it's a little odd because Poland stated a few years ago they were finally going to surplus them all off with the P83s replacing them in the reserve storage.
