IZH-35M Grip Safety

Our club has located an Izzy 35M for use as a club pistol. I've shot it for the first time today and I would say that it is a capable pistol and I'm looking forward to being involved with tuning the trigger / sear release etc. The gun has a safety lever which is positioned in the grip, which is a ma...

Success!

Using the supporting block of wood, a tack hammer, a piece of plastic to cushion the impact and a silent prayer finally did the trick - off it popped!
