Here is a link to an excellent you tube video produced by Nick Norris who goes by Nick on the forum. Enjoy. WOW, that toggle is fast!
Disassembly and firing sequences will help new owners of Luger pistols and fun to watch the firing sequence.

ted, it is a good video, although I wish that Nick had used luger parts terminology

Nice video!

Funny there is a comment in the video that says he did a much easier way to take apart a Luger? They only come apart one way, hmmm. I didn't want to sound like I was jamming the guy but how do you take a Luger apart the hard way?

Prior to mid 1937, Mauser did straw their trigger, safety lever and take down...

>> If it's made after 1918 it's a Mauser or Kreighoff.

It's not accurate either. If it's made after 1918, it could be DWM, Simson, Mauser, or Kreighoff. The only thing really stopped after the Great War was Erfurt. I forgot when Vickers were assembled....pre or post WWI?? but that's very rare let's ignore it. After 1918 could be Swiss as well if not limited in German variations.

Even S/42's. learn something new everyday. THANKS. That is why we are here. I thought just commercial 42's were strawed and than rare if they did. Stupid me, I posted a picture of a K date here that was strawed.

Some people will put the muzzle against a wall, desk any mostly unmoveable object while gripping the gun and then shove the top back enough to turn down the take down lever to begin the process. Another way is to just put in a empty mag (post hold open variations) and lock it back with the hold open, then turn down the take down lever. I have always used the squeeze method like shown in the video.

glock30 · 07-09-2013, 06:06 PM

Oh yea, I have seen that, Mauser actually tell you in their Manuals to place the muzzle on like a table. Okay...Why scratch the crown? I see. The way you do it, is how I do it. Great video. And I had no idea Mauser strawed the parts, I only thought Mauser Banners had that, but than again my dumb ass posted a thread with a K date with strawed parts... And I totally agree with the author of the video, if that is you, if it is in the family, who cares if refinished..I have seen worse. Parkerized Fat Barrels, and Nickel Plated Vickers.

Alvin, to indicate that I do not think in my opinion post 1918 Luger/Parabellums/ P-08's etc are reproductions, I changed my signature so you will not get confused.

alvin · 07-10-2013, 07:23 AM

Post 1918 Luger was reproduction.... that's Ron's signature

Probably referring to major development of Luger stopped after 1918, except a few minor modifications. In other words, Luger was a WWI era technology. I don't know. Like most C&R pistols, major variations appear in early guns.
