takedown lever broken
Hi,
I just bought my first Luger, a 41 byf with everything matching except the magazine. The problem is that one of the previous owners has somehow managed to break the takedown lever. Is there a way to get a replacement? I'm from Croatia and Luger parts and accessories market virtually doesn't exist here. P.S. It would be a dream come true if that lever would have number 73 stamped on it :D |
Can you send me a detailed picture of the lever, have repaired several here on LF and repair is undetectable.....it could be fixed and reparied to like new condition
|
I don't have it yet, I'm waiting for a permit.
The round serrated (checkered) part of the lever is missing, if that helps... |
Howard (policeluger) can restore it. I have seen his work.
|
Great!
I'll get in touch when I get the pistol, and that can take up to 2 months around here :( |
is it broken like this one? http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...threadid=16061
..who in their right mind uses a hammer to close the lever.. instead of pushing the upper part slightly to the rear :rolleyes: |
Yes, exactly like that! And I thought mine was the only one!
How can that be fixed without noticing the difference? |
Hrvoje,
Howard (policeluger) was able to save an excellent 1918 DWM for me. The gun was all matching, but the takedown lever had been broken. I didn't want to replace the part, even if I could have found one with the same number, because the broken lever was original to the Luger. Howard did a great job, and the Luger is now all original . . . and matching. Even if the takedown lever has been repaired, it has been with the gun for all its existance. Good luck to you. Luke |
For mine, it required a donor part, as I did not have the button. Howard took a "donor" take down lever and put that part back on. He fixed one for me, from the front it could not be detected. Howard (policeluger) did this for me a couple of years ago. I'd rather do that than pop on an unmarked one.

OK then, if I don't find that part with the same number and from the same model (which I probably won't, anyway) I'll contact policeluger...
|
It finally arrived earlier this week...
I've decided to leave it as is for the time being since it is the original part and it's still functional. Plus I cannot send gun parts from Croatia to USA and back. Interestingly enough, I found one numbered 73 just a few miles away from me, but it's on another perfectly good Luger... |
