Artillery Luger Trigger Problem

[lugerholsterrepair]

Daniel, Ron is correct of course. He has given a good diagnosis.The plunger is likely your problem.

This is the one and only part assembly on a Luger I have never taken apart. The pin that holds it in is extremely small. One would have to find the exact small drill rod to drift it out and I have never had an occasion or need to do so.

Personally I don't use WD40 as a solvent though. If I were wanting to flush out this area I would use an oderless paint thinner. It's what I use to clean my pistols after a range session. Then blow it off with compressed air. If WD40 is captured in the plunger spring it could harden up over time. You see.. it evaporates and leaves behind sticky residue. I guess it would be OK if you are sure to blow it out thouroughly. That's hard to do with this plunger.
Then when it is clean, a small amount of your favorite gun oil should do the trick.
It should pop in and out with ease.

The fireing pin! I wouldn't worry too much about this oft broken part.
