A part

jussi16 · 01-09-2009, 04:56 PM

Hello everyone!

I need to replace a part called "a hold open". What do I need to do.

I have all the parts, but I don`t know how to do it.
The old spring seems too tight to get out easily and it has an number on it.

Help please.

I may have some parts for sale later...

Hi, the hold-open usually needs replacing when the little leaf spring holding it in place is broken. If everything is in good nick, you may want to describe problems you may have.

The Part is L-shaped and held in place by that little spring. Lifting the back of the holdopen above it's recess should be enough to gently pull it out towards the back.

Here is a YouTube video which includes removing the holdopen.

Thanks to you both!

The video shows that I was just too careful with the part. I`ll try this at home

The operation was succesful. The mismatch part was taken out and replaced.

I`m going to to trade or sell these parts. What do you think they are worth? The trigger is a DWM # 64 and not blued. It`s just the lighting and my camera work. One take down lever is an unnumbered and maybe a DDR part. The other one is a commercial # 06. The hold open is an Erfurt # 83. Other parts are unnumbered. The tool is a DWM without markings. And there is one part which I don`t know anything about. Looks like a "auszieher" for some other gun. The front sights are two SA finns and one german.
