Problem in reassembly of S/42 Luger

Unless you find out exactly what the problem is, a few more episodes with the Dremel tool will definitely produce paper weight material. In your email correspondence with me, you indicated that with the toggle train in the receiver the assembly only lacked 3/8" of going together. With the toggle train removed, now it lacks an inch and a half! I can make no sense of such a scenario at all. I have sat down with one of my Lugers and tried to replicate or even guess as to how this can happen, but have come up empty. Perhaps pictures will be enlightening.
