Trigger lever and spring

Greeneye · 09-01-2008, 11:37 AM

Hi guys-I'm new here and have a question. I see on schematics that these guns have a trigger lever and trigger lever spring. I don't have a sideplate, and I don't have a clue where the trigger lever and spring go. Anyone have any pictures or can anyone point me to a place that shows where these are installed? Thanks.

Hello Jeff, welcome to the forum!

Many times a sideplate comes with that, but if not, then it can appear tricky. I can't do it right now, but can take pictures tomorrow if someone hasn't had a chance to help.

You can see and excellent video showing the disassembly of the Luger sideplate on Youtube.

Here is the link:

The video was prepared by one of our own members (shadow), and he has prepared a whole series on assembly and disassembly of the P.08

My 1974 version does not have the spring, just a pin. Since the pin takes some effort to push out I assume there is a spring loaded detent inside the hole to keep the pin in place?

I'm so glad I found this site! Today during my second box through this gun the trigger failed to reset (Failed to **** actually as I found out by reading the sticky). I did the fix and am waiting for a chance to try it. Thanks

Just an update, the work on the cocking problem addressed in the sticky worked well, thanks!
