New Guy with 1918 Erfurt Luger

Some Lugers are just easier to take down than others in my experience. My two all matching commercial guns are silky smooth to take down. My shooter Mauser S/42, which is still mostly matching except grips and toggle train, can be a pain to get the takedown lever moved.

Some advice, put some lubricating oil (I use remoil) on the sideplate area where the TD lever engages it. You may also check the inside of the frame and lube up the lever itself inside the frame to see if that helps at all.
