Folks,

I recently purchased a nice Luger specimen -- excellent condition/bore, serial numbers match, dated 1939, 42 on the top slide. I assume it's a Mauser.

Have fired it -- great fun, great results

Disassembled top action from frame to clean. On reassembly it wouldn't **** Reassembled it a couple more times until it did ****. WHY?????

Recently watched "Odessa File" on the History Channel. Mean old SS man Maxmillian Schell guns down Knights Cross holder Wehrmacht officer with a Luger. Other guns displayed looked like P-38s.

Open to any and all advice.

Hope to hear from you!!

Jim
