Trigger not cocked after firing

[John D.]

Hi Art...


Now look at what we started


Anyway - a couple of random thoughts...


HÃ?Â¥kan is absolutely correct when he says to take it to a qualified gunsmith (Ted is probably closer then HÃ?Â¥kan for shipping)...


A bent sideplat typically *prevents" the Luger from firing (the trigger lever can't travel far enough to effect a release of the sear). The way I understood it - you have the opposite problem (like it releases *without* touching the trigger )


Third, in spite of comments otherwise - you can NOT bend the trigger lever to get the proper angle. It is a hardened part, so instead of "bending" - it "breaks" (unless you have a crappy repro installed, which I doubt).


Finally - read all the advice you got and you'll probably end up where we were last night in my first reply when I said "my suggestion is to send it off to Thor and have him look at it.."...


But - it has been a terrific thread!!
