FEG PA63 9mm mak jams

Picked up a FEG PA 63, thought it was nice looking good feeling inexpensive pistol. First thing I did was field strip it and clean it. I did not like the condition of the recoil spring. When I fire it, it jams almost everytime and does so with each of the 2 magazines. I ordered a new wolfe 15# recoil spring and waiting for it to come in. SHOULD this replacing of the recoil spring solve the problem?

Try a different brand of ammo, if the Wolff spring still doesn't solve your problem. If that doesn't work, closely inspect the frame for battering or deformation. Get rid of it, if you can't fix it yourself. It's not worth paying a gunsmith to try and fix it,if the frame is battered and warped.
When the Hungarians first designed/produced the various FEG's they were based on the Walther PP, and chambered for the .32 Auto cartridge. I believe with the much more powerful 9mm Mak cartridge, their lifespan is limited.
are these FEG pistols the 32ACP and 9mm mak C&R eligable
Unless they are specifically on the BATF list, No. Age wise they date to the 60's - 70's, time frame. Which would prevent them from automatically ( no pun intended ) being C & R's, because of the 50 year DOM, clause.
try wolf or another brand, good luck....
