Grandpa's gun

You'll have to bear with me on these photos, I took them with my phone. Here you can see the issue.

Relatively clean breach block area.

Rear of the chamber where the extractor slides in. I made sure to scrape out any debris (there really was none).

You can see that the S-hook is properly engaged in the main spring. (Yes I see the rust. The flash definitely exaggerates it, I have only scrubbed with cotton patches at this point, haven't gotten around to attacking with some steel wool.)

There is a little bit of rust in this area. Honestly there isn't enough to cause this.

And here are the grips, because I never gave pictures of them. The one on the left is the GS stamped on. The one on the right is the original one.

I will be getting after the rust soon, but I'm wondering if there are any lugerforum members in Arkansas, USA that might like to look at the gun in person, if they feel they can help with this issue.
