Purchased the Army Test Luger that came on the market last month. While doing deep cleaning have come up against really hard grease /lub. Soaking in Kroil and then brushing with bronze wool. Removed the sear bar and Plunger would not move. Tried few drops of Kroil on plunger and tried light pressure on end of plunger hoping spring would resist and push back. Plunger is now flush with end of sear bar. Needless to say sear bar plunger holding pin will not budge either. Soaked the sear bar in Kroil over night and still nothing moves. Tried to tap sear bar against hard object hoping the spring would push plunger out but no luck. Have sear bar in container soaking in Hoppe's #9 at present.....

Any suggestions?
