    Problem with new M&P

    Hey Calguns!

    I recently got a very lightly used M&P (for $400!!!!) and disassembled it to conduct the standard maintenance and cleaning and what-have-you after you purchase a new gun, but when I put it back together I must have messed something up.

    Now, before you start insulting me, remember that I am not a professional operator and that ANYONE could make an honest mistake.

    How can I undo this?



    Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything.

    Is this even possible or is this a troll post? Not sure if serious.

    Reminds me of your "how do you break in your guns" thread.

      Wow!!!!!

      How did you put the spring in with an up side down barrel in the slide?

      This is a tough one.

      Great price btw!

            I am sorry but instantly I think of the scene in 'Something about Mary' when Ben Stiller's character zips his junk up in his zipper. Not only that, the "frank is below the beans".

            Don't fret OP. I have made my fair share of mistakes, most are too proud to post or even ask for help.

            Personally, I would try to manipulate the barrel until you can get the slide back off. If you get frustrated or aren't getting anywhere, then take it to a reputable gunsmith. It might cost $100+ to get it undone.

            Another possible absolute last resort would be to buy a new slide and possibly a barrel and cut that one off. Take special care to not damage the frame as that is the registered part.

            You could get to a point where you are going to spend more to repair than the gun is worth.

              Ya anyone can make an honest mistake as many or all of us have but this smells like some obvious troll posting.

                Take it to a local gunsmith. Or contact S&W customer service.

                    You guys missed it, the OP is a gunsmith. This is a gun came in for repairs.

                      Easiest thing to do is punch out the roll pins and lift the entire assembly out of the frame. Feel free to on me and I can walk you through it

                          I'm speechless.



                          Can you even get it apart if that happens?
