Bad toggles
Hi,
I guess I get all the bad ones ;0)
I have seen the crack posted several times as well as a crack posted by Thor.
I have a bout 4-5 in my bad parts bin.
And yes I have tried to TIG weld them, but it never looked right to me.
I do not think they happen from firing.
I do see them mostly on early DWM Lugers, because the toggles where tempered.
As well as some Mauser guns for the same reason.
I think it happens when people try to hammer out the middle toggle pin , without remembering or knowing to remove the toggle pin retainer, that we all love so much ....
It's one of the mostly common ordered parts on the list.
Do not use the toggle, if you do not have money for a cosmetic face reconstruction surgery...
Get a new one.
Thanks.
