Problem in reassembly of S/42 Luger

To all Repliers:

If I stated things differently at different times, that was not intensional. Some of those distances were only estimates at that time based only on off-hand memory.

I now have my Electronic Digital Caliper and the Luger in my lap.

The distance of the barrel lug from the front of the frame where it (the barrel group)
first meets resistance = 0.455 inches or 11.55 mm. The barrel lug does not appear to have hit anything. There is not a mark on it.

It is my intent to measure everything I can and report the results. That will take some time to do correctly. Hang in here with me guys.

I do not have a Luger gunsmith anywhere near me as far as I know.

You guys are my only hope to get this worked out.

Since there is a message length maximum, I am concerned how to get the measurement info to you guys. I can do it one reading at a time (1 through ? ) to avoid that potential problem.

Your comments are most welcomed.

Regards,
Hoyt Weathers
