Hello from France ! i'm new on this forum, I own a 1927 A1 with government authorization since 1999, here full auto are not possible to have. I’m very proud to have this wonderful gun, great part of US history. After 1000s shoots at the gun range, the bolt handle has just broken. Auto-Ordnance and Gunparts do not ship outside the US, even the springs ! I’m so sad, because this part is on the catalog, and it is really not a dangerous part like firing pin, barrel, etc. I had try during days and hours to find dealer/seller but no issue for instance, i'm waiting answer from a gentleman in Germany, but no confirmation yet. So I need help ! Do someone here know a gun store able to ship overseas, or a gun store in Europe ? I will appreciate any suggestion, I’m ready to pay all documentation, fees, shipping rate needed. Of course I could produce copy of my authorization Thanks in advance Sincerely Paul

After having the bolt handle on my WH 1927a1 SA break, I ordered another one from gunpartscorp. After installing it, i started running into some issues with the bolt not charging all the way back to the spring buffer as it normally should. This is causing the bolt to slightly protrude preventing proper insertion of drum mag (I was able to get it in with a bit of force and a few colorful cusswords). Clearly this isn't the correct charging handle and i don't want to cause any damage to either the bolt or the firing pin as a result. So a couple questions for the members here: 1. Am I crazy, or is there a difference between these two styles of charging handles? (Kahr & WH) 2. Any recommendations on where I can order the correct bolt handle? 3. Would it be a reasonable task to possibly machine this thing so that it works correctly? It seems that the slots that hold it in the upper reciever are a bit more "rounded" on the new bolt vs the original. I was thinkin if these were squared off it may fix the issue. Any feedback or insight would be much welcomed. Pics attached. pic 1 - old bolt handle & new bolt handle side by side pic 2 - old bolt handle - bolt charges all the back to the buffer plate pic 3 - old bolt handle - top view of upper pic 4 - new bolt handle - bolt does not charge back to buffer plate pic 5 - new bolt handle - top view of upper
