thanks guys. I'm out of town for the next week-ish but I'll post a picture of the trigger as soon as I get back! (life of an airline pilot).
the hold open is numbered to my byf (the one with the issue). I figured the hold open issues had something to do with the brass denting, getting caught between the bolt and breach, and leaving shavings everywhere
guess not! would you advise I just replace the hold open before trying to bend the numbered one? afraid of it breaking. I did notice the difference in how high the hold open comes up on the byf compared to my 1918...can anyone post a picture of a properly installed hold open? I might have just put it on this one time wrong, or have been altogether... :/
thank you! if all else fails, I'll be contacting lugerdoc
and noted on server space; I guess I already screwed the pooch on keeping these two topics separate haha. a moderator could delete this and I can restart with 2 different topics
