I have seen many Lugers were either broken or marred because someone used a "tool" to rotate the takedown lever. As Postino noted, you must move the receiver back a bit in order to rotate the takedown lever. This is easily done by pressing the muzzle of the gun against a solid, non-marring, surface (a cinderblock wall is not a good choice)
