After 5 years, 4 general gunsmiths, and endless frustation I have given up.  No one has been able to manufacture, replicate a trigger bar for a Romerwerke "Romer" .22 Kal semi auto pistol.  I'm thinking of putting it up for sale as a parts gun.  What a shame.  Apart from one repo grip the pistol with extra target Bbl. is almost exactly as it left the factory in between 1922 and 1924  Suhl Germany.

That's crazy.  Did the gunsmiths try and fail to make a part from scratch, or did they write it off as ungodly expensive?

Do you have the original broken part as a template?

Hell, I've got the broken trigger bar; albeit in three parts now.  I'm not sure what has been going on.  Maybe these guys we're just wearing thier gunsmith costumes; I don't know.  First guy said he couldn't fix it (he just tried silver soldering it).  Second person made a trigger bar for it, but it wasn't for my gun (I sent the gun back east and he sent the gun back still dissassembled, and stating that it may require some fitting).  Third guy had it for 2 years and only got to the point of "roughing out a part" and said it was still going to be a couple of months.  Forth guy said he could make that part no problem, but when I called him on it said he was now only doing custom sporting rifle work.  Beginning to think this must have been Goering's pistol and it's got bad ju ju.  Hell it looks innocent enough.    

Is there any way you can post a photo of the part so we know what we're dealing with?  I'd be willing to take a crack at it, given it's not some uber-complex part.

Nhumrich does not have the parts?


my smith could fix it, but damned if I am not in th ewrong country, he has made parts for all kinds of firearms, both normal and weird

Do you have a picture of the trigger? Is it similar to the bow on a 1911 trigger. A stamping maybe? If the part was originally manufactured in the '20s, then it can be made again today. Maybe you could find somebody to make it that manufactures things instead of a regular gunsmith.

Numrich does not have the part.  I will post a picture of the broken part this weekend.

Thanx for your help

Design the part.

Send them the specs and they make it for you.

Pricey on the order of "prototype" machining at a local mill, if you've ever done that.

Sounds to me like you need to scrap the gun smiths and find a machineist thats a gun nut and I bet he could have it done in a weekend. A good can make that part for sure.

tag, just curious

WTF?
