Ron,

Thanks. I've seen some modifications before that were the result of harsh climate conditions. I remember there was a trigger adaptor for the K98 so it could be fired with gloved hands during extreme winter conditions.

I thought about 'hooking' the extractor tool behind an unmodified takedown lever as alternative, but that doesn't offer enough grip. A rifle bullet (or the tip of a cleaning rod?) does.

If there's any truth behind the theory, these modified takedown levers should be encountered on captured/non-reworked WWII eastern front lugers.

It would be nice to see a non-corroded modified lever, though.
