C148, As said above LUGER PARTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. If in fact, your striker (FP) is cocking on your sear (trigger bar) but not releasing when the trigger is pulled, it's possible that you have too much overlap of these parts, but more likely, the trigger LEVER (inside the side plate) is not correctly chamfered at the top for the disconnector plunger (in the trigger BAR) to push under it on recoil. Too bad that you're not in the USA, so that I could take a look at it, but I know that their are many PO8 collectors in Canada, that would be willing to assist. TH

If it co-cks the trigger works 100% of the time it seems that many times if the toggle is locked open and I drop a dummy into the chamber and release the toggle it will NOT coc-k BUT if I were to pull the toggle just enough to bend the joint it co-cks every time


Im hoping to meet him this weekend and try shooting it maybe it will work when fired I had a garand that wouldn't feed right with dummies but never failed while shooting it

Thanks for the input and advice

Do clean and lubricate before you head to the range.
