Walt,

When everything is assembled, is there play in the trigger plate fit against the side of the receiver? Does the take down lever hold it close to the receiver without movement? Earlier you described a 1/64 inch gap. Is that where it is? Is it flat and parallel against the side of the receiver, or at an angle?

Look inside the trigger plate and look for dirt behind the trigger bar (a right angle transfer bar). Make sure that the small pin is holding it square with the trigger plate.

This area was hand fit by the factory for each Luger. That's the reason the parts were numbered to the pistol s/n. Is your Luger matching?

The right angle transfer bar is hardened, and will snap if you try and bend or "re-form" it. Not something to do yourself.
