When you put the 7" 22 barrel in, DO NOT cut it down (as done above). A complete kit should come with two barrel covers for the extension out the front of the barrel. One for a 4" barrel, the cover being 3", and a second for Lugers with 6" barrels, the cover being 1". Each will leave a short section of threads for the two locking nuts.

[Also if you look at my entry under "Unit Markings" you can see pics of my frame #2787, unit 7.D.18.]

Addendum: As Sheepherder's pin came out above, mine was also loose. I peened it in on both sides and it has a vertical locking pin on the left side that also secures it. I hammered this locking pin in tight with a VERY small punch. Georg seemed to like these little locking pins. He also used one to secure the take down lever and a larger one on the safety lever. My first Luger was missing these last two pins, but worked fine. I have since put some pins in to tighten up these levers.
