slide on my FN 509 is stuck closed and cannot get it to slide back. It sounds like its catching on something when I try. The recoil spring/piston under the barrel is recessed in its tube by about 1/4" - not supposed to be like that. I have no idea how it got like that. Anyone have any tips on unsticking it or a BR gunsmith rec? TIA.

What were you doing when it happened? Where you reassembling it? Sounds like one of the rails isn't lined up during reassembly.

Bring it by Jim’s. I know people here hate on them but they have a pretty good gunsmith named Nick. He recently fitted a 1911 Wilson bill barrel for me and did a reverse crown. They are going to have a 6-8 week wait but any good smith you bring it to is going to have a wait time.
