Thanks guys for the help. I got it all figured out now and everything is working fine.
My assumption was that the trigger bar came all the way back against the safety bar when the toggle was lowered. After checking pictures, I see that this is not the case.
Also, when I reassembled the gun, I allowed the coupling link to go behind the recoil lever, rather than in front of it. This prevented me from raising the toggle.
At this point, I panicked, thinking I has broken something in my 1940 commercial banner with all matching numbers. I was afraid to do anything!
Anyway, all is well now and thanks for your help.
Thanks,
Ron
P.S. My friend just bought a 1910 Erfurt with matching numbers for $1000.00. May need your help in helping him determine if he got a good deal or not. Looks like new. Will send pictures and identification info later.
thanks again
