hey whats going on Ed. My firing pin and firing pin channel are clean. I always keep that portion of the gun as clean as I can. Although saying that I do oil the spring and channel on the toggle. Is this a wise decision or not.
I was messing with my gun after I did the magnetic particle inspection on it. Looking at the forks the rear of the forks look a little pigeon toed at the end. I put some dial calipers on the frame and measured the distance between each fork. There was about 0.100" difference between that rear and the area around the chanmber. Also with no firing pin or spring in the toggle I put the whole upper back together. And there is just some binding or something towards the front of the forks. It starts having friction about a 1/4" from complete closure. Its almost as if that last little bit is a smaller dimension than the breech block at that point. Maybe the reason there is cracking at the ends of the fork tying into the barrel extension.
I read a thread on the webpage earlier that someone was having the same issues. He ended up changing the main spring out and that was his last input on that thread.
Mine however isnt the spring, its the leaf spring type. So I dont know what to think of that solving my problem on my luger.
As for the gun being a 100 years, I was worried about damaging it badly. But, the gun has parts that have been changed out (the barrel and a rear sight added). So some members have commented that this lower the value of the luger, so I figured lets shoot it then. But now I dont know if Ill shoot it any more unless I get a different rear toggle. Thats an option.
Thanks for the reply
