Magazine maintenance...

Thanks for the encouragement! I hope NOT to have to do this again any time soon, and have (I trust) enough magazines on-hand now to support any reasonable amount of shooting with my collection of two (2) Lugers.
I can see how easily disaster might happen in taking Luger mags apart: they ARE basically fragile, particularly the magazine tube itself. I've seen many badly deformed Luger magazines, and have two total wrecks on my bench now, plus one near basket case, all of which I plan to GIVE to a friend, trusting he can make one useable mag out of all three...
In all more difficult cases, I bow to the mechanic (you!).
Thanks again;
