I think I understand what your saying, with the gun dismantled, the receiver slides all the way back to that block, (Cam) so it say. What your referring to (The ambutant thing or whatever) is the amount of restriction the recoil spring puts on the receiver for when the spring is engaged, for the receiver will only move back so far, so in other words, I can now see, with a worn recoil spring, how this distance would be greater (Just as if there were no spring) and you would have metal to metal contact on these parts, is this correct? DAMN, I wish I knew this. I was going to change the spring too.
I cannot tell by my hand, if the spring is worn. The toggle is not easy to move back, but I have had some Lugers that were very strong, like my New Mauser's I had. You learn something new everyday, and just goes to show you, as much as you think you know, there is always a ton of more. Thanks again.
