Stan, you're killing me. I want to get my hands on your Luger so badly I can smell the penetrating oil. The top cylinder I think you are referring to is the bolt. Its attached to the toggle, when the toggle is closed/flat it is forward against the chamber face. The bolt will not return to the closed position because of the mainspring being frozen. That's no problem to replace later. Nor will there be a click when the trigger is pulled until you can get the sideplate off and see what needs to be done there. Also no problem just careful cleaning required. But try again as John recommended to get the sideplate off. That has to be the next step. The front of the side plate is held by the locking nut, the rear is held in place by an 1/8" edge on the opposite side. Lift the sideplate up from the left side when the locking nut is rotated down.
