My .22LR Stoeger Luger
Hi all!
So I got my Dads' old Luger and pulled it apart to clean it. The sear bar became disengaged and i can not get it back in! I keep jarring it loose when i try to attach it to the trigger, where its supposed to go, per the directions. Any help is appreciated...Im thinking it may just be a sprung spring....anyone had this problem? |

Assuming you mean the sear bar on the upper receiver and not the "L" shaped transfer bar inside the sideplate;
If your sear bar popped completely off the upper frame then it had to have come out from under the sear spring, perhaps breaking it in the process. Is your sear spring still present? Does it have a slight curl at its end? If the spring is still intact, you will have to remove it from the dovetail slot in the frame by working it forward off the upper receiver. Once the spring has been removed you can properly seat the sear bar into its channel, (it should slide in at an angle). Once the sear bar is in, then replace the sear spring by reversing the procedure for removing it. The sear spring is what holds the sear bar in place. Without it, the sear would just drop out. Good Luck! Just realized this is for a .22 Sorry. |

Is this an Erma 22??? I don't know what brand/mfg Stoeger imported...but if it's an Erma, I have instructions & pics for disassembly/assembly...

Stoeger produced their own version of a .22 "Luger" because they owned the legal rights to the name Luger in the USA. It bears no relationship in design to the Erma .22 toggle action guns.

yes John is correct....and alan yes the spring is present, no curl at end though....I can move it back and forth on the pin, if that makes a difference. It seems like the bar should be held in with tension and thats why I think it maybe the spring...the lack of retention from tension....if that makes sense...lol
Also THANX FOR ALL THE HELP GUYS!!!! |

I've not had the opportunity to examine a Stoeger .22 in person yet, much less strip it to examine its mechanics. They certainly look way different from Ermas in the images I've seen online, in respect to several regions on the top end, the toggles, themselves, in particular. I also think their grip setup is pretty ugly, with that little screw in the middle of them. Thanks for posting the photo of the action (?) of the Stoeger. To tell the truth, I'm having a hard time deciphering exactly what I'm seeing in it. How about a short pic essay on it, so we can be oriented a bit better? |

what we are looking at is the firing assembly....the spring in question is the coil spring that you see. The instructions say that should the sear bar (the back half is shown on the right side...the piece with the pin attached) can be reinstalled by placing the rearmost pin (theres only 1) under the arm of the coil spring and it shows a diagram.....I assemble it to the diagram and the rear pin jostles loose and falls when i try to attach the front of the sear bar to the trigger.

No oops. While all use a "toggle" the manner of construction and function is entirely different.

Stoeger actually had manufacturing capability??? Their own shop??? Or did they farm it out to some machine tool concern??? I recognize the name but have never had occasion to deal with them...I don't think I've even had one of their catalogs...

Try gunpartscorp.com ...the exploded parts diagrm is here: ( http://www.gunpartscorp.com/catalog/...px?catid=10430 )
They don't have many springs left available, but it never hurts to ask...and of course, you could try contacting Stoeger themselves... they may still have some parts laying around. You might also try Wolff Springs... they may have manufactured what you are looking for, or may have offered replacement springs in the past.

My point about similarities/differences among Stoeger, Erma, and original Luger was that the later wannabes with toggle systems is that their toggles do not lock the breech by the knee joint locking provided by the originals. They are blowback actuated. Since neither locks like the original Luger, their toggles don't interact with the ramps, and their top ends are effectively in fixed position during the cycle. The similarity in toggle design between the Ermas and the Stoegers is that neither needs to be cammed out of battery position by encountering toggle ramps as the entire top end recoils back in the frame.
Thanks for the link to exploded view, John. Combined with Mike's description, I can now understand better what I'm looking at in Mike's pic. The spring in question is #60 in the exploded view? The exploded view shows a major design difference, compared to Ermas--the main recoil spring is in the handle, as the originals, and not tucked horizontally into the top end, like the Ermas. The sear setup, linkage to trigger, pressed toggle parts, etc. are different, too, but the main spring was the first thing I noticed. |

But I still wonder who or what company actually manufactured these 22 'Lugers'... When I was in California in 1970, I bought my father a nice .22 cal revolver, in the SSA style, called a "Hy-Hunter"...No other mfg marking...I eventually found it was made by Sauer & Sohn...

The Stoeger .22 was designed and built by Stoeger in the USA. Introduced in 1968 and made until the mid 1970's.
Here'a closeup of mine showing the manufacturer. -ML

Are both "legs" of the spring the same length? Is there any chance you re-installed it upside down or backwards?

Thats the one i have, i know it is not a locked breach, but the toggle action works the same when fired, or so i thought. In the picture you can see the spent cartridge and the action starting to close.
