Default Re: It is even easier to open the takedown lever...

Ray, You may want to be careful when re-assembling the cannon and toggle- joint breech block to the reciever.(Handle Piece) The fireing pin must be uncocked and the coupeling link that hooks to the mainspring is hardnend and very brittle. Be careful when taking the pistol apart that this coupeling link does not hook onto the magazine holdopen as you pull the cannon off the handle. This could snap the coupeling link. The book calls for doing this procedure upside down. The coupeling link is extreamly strong and will take an amazing amount of tension but sharp jerks and snaps are not good.Hope this helps, just go slow and you will be amazed , it will fall apart in your hands. It's actually one of the great charecteristics of the luger pistol. Jerry
