Ron, Good explanation. It alway bothers me that quite a few long time luger owners don't know the proper way to Take Down or reassemble their lugers. I wish that I had a camera or scanner, to put up the illustrations of the recommended German army mehtods. IMHO, the easiest TD method is to hold back the toggle on an empty mag so that it is out of battery, when turning down the TD lever and removing the side plate. To reassemble, hold top half upside down, while pushing up on toggle with one finger, then slide on inverted frame until the recoil assy is over the connecting "S" link, then turn right side up and hold back out of battery with one hand, while installing side plate & locking TD lever with the other.
