First Luger

Thanks guys. I shot my Luger for my Birthday last week and now o bought spare complete breechblock, extractor, ejector and grips from the LugerDoc. I was looking at changing the Breechblock but saw the pin didn't move easily. I then saw on Gunbroker a complete toggle with Breechblock. So I thought it would be better to just swap out the complete toggle than try to change the breechblock. I'm going to have the gun checked out by a gunsmith before I shoot it next time. I'm going to save the matching numbered parts and jut use the spare toggle just in case something happens that way the number parts stay ok. The reason I bought this one and spent more was that it was just like I dreamed my Luger would be. It's a 1942 Mauser 42 with the military proof marks. Honestly it looks great for a Luger that's from 1940. It doesn't have any pitting and looks like it was barely used unlike some I saw that had hardly any lie and pitted everywhere. I'm definitely going to get a shooter but this was my first one. Thanks for the advice and I can't wait to learn a lot more about my Luger.
