WARNING!... WARNING! WILL ROBINSON!
Bad advice Craig...this is no weight we are talking about... this part handles the stress of breech closure and a very sharp recoil cycle by beating itself against the ramps of the frame...
Do NOT ever put any stress exposed part of a firearm (like a barrel, receiver, frame or slide, or in this case, part of the toggle or breechblock) into an oven on the "clean" cycle... you take the serious risk that you will modify the heat treatment of the steel and create a dangerous condition while firing...
The "clean" cycle is designed to raise an oven far above the cooking range of temperature so that any food residue in the oven is burned until it is just ash and can be wiped out with a sponge... the cleaning temperature varies from oven to oven and between manufacturers and could jeopardize the safety of your Luger...
