Before you know it, you'll be changing main springs, extractors, and ejectors along with the best of them, able to completely dis/reassemble a Luger--and able to identify any part by looking at it.

Actually, it turns out that part of the spring was still there - hoping LugerDoc's replacement shows up tomorrow as I'm taking the pistol to the range on Sunday!
