Begineer's Luger Disassembly/Re-Assembly...

Well, after practicing with my shooter 1970's Mauser-Interarms luger for a few weeks, finally rounded up enough nerve to take my newly purchased 06/24 Swiss W+F Bern apart for a good but gentle cleaning.

Took it down to the point of removing the firing pin; no more.

Start to finish was about 30-40 minutes, giving all parts a good dose of Breakfree CLP. I did not want to rush...

It is amazing how well-machined a luger made nearly 75 years ago can be (my pistol # 259xx was made in 1927) and how easily the parts fit each other...200% better than my 1970's era luger, which is certainly good on its own merits.

Will have an Arty and a Black Widow in a few weeks. I simply cannot wait...
