Western Arms M9 Slide

[Batchokookies]

Hey guys I've been plinking a lot with my M92FS and the slide has cracked. The crack is right on the left side safety lever, it's big, and I'm not sure how to fix it, if that's even possible. any suggestions?

If I can't fix it, does anyone know where i can import a new slide from, preferably metal?

If its an older WA it might not have been a good idea to run it on propane. Once the slide is broken there isn't much you can do. It is possible to get replacement slides, however I would recommend you get a metal slide instead.

If you're AV'd someone might be selling them in the classified section. Alternatively you can purchase WA M9/M92 slides from most of the online retailers IIRC. I've seen quite a few in stock. I'd recommend Shooters Design (they'll go for about 100-150 usd), or if you have the cash Sheriff (~200+).

If you chose to get a metal slide, it's recommended that you get an upgraded hammer spring and upgraded recoil spring. Also if you can find one for your model, get a recoil spring guide with a buffer. This will lessen the stress on the slide.
