Slavia ZVP, Making a Spring Guide.

Well, in order to make sure the SVP works I needed to make a new spring guide.

The old spring guide, such as it is.

Starting to turn down some 1" steel...

Turned to the correct diameter.

Chamfered at the end, filed smooth, about to part off.

The new guide.

I reassembled the pistol to check function. Using the old piston seal and with no other work it managed to spit a pellet downrange. So I have a pistol that works, now I need to make it work well.
