I got to hold a MAB P-15 this weekend. I've known about them for some time but never actually held one.

It seems like a well made pistol-all steel, which I like!

The one for sale was $200. The BIG catch was the safety (looked like a Hi-power, or a 1911 without the spring/plunger) wouldn't stay up and kept falling down.

I decided to pass on it. If it was a hi-power or 1911 I know I could find parts and fix it, but I searched far and wide online for parts and couldn't find any!

So, does anyone know where I could get parts for it? I noticed some members from France on here and thought maybe they knew what could be wrong with it and where to find parts, or what to fix it.

I'd still like to pick it up, but 200 bucks or not I want it to work right eventually...

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance,
Mark.

On obsolete guns some of the parts will be easy to make some will not .As for the safety it would be good to google MAB P-15 and see if you can get exploded view drawings to see waht parts are missing and see if they can easily be made.The biggest problem might be the magazine since an auto can't function without one.

I understand that MAM in Bayonne still manufactures parts for the MAB P-15. You might try a direct contact with them.

They may even understand English.

An old catalog with a parts list might also be of help:

I own one works well big and heavie isn't a hi power but it works.
