Be careful with exactly which video you watch! Not too long ago, someone posted a link to a video of a couple of clowns who were persuading a rusted P.08 to come apart. Techniques such as pounding on the nose of the live round in the chamber with a dowel to move the breech block back, and throwing said live round into their wood stove after it was extracted, well, let's say we were kinda shocked/horrified by watching this one.

There was also an article in American Rifleman a year or so ago with [coff, coff] 'misleading' field stripping information...

I saw that article in American Rifleman, and "called their hand on it". I never heard a word back from them as to their mis-information to their readers.

I let it soak for another day and it toggle pin came out and I ended up getting it completely apart. I cleaned it all up, oiled it and put it all back together. I dry fired it a couple times and it clicked like it should. Probably will never shoot it though, don't want to risk damage since all the numbers match minus the 2 mags. thanks again for everyone's help! It's G Dated low serial number so I am assuming it's a 1935.
