Takedown lever will not budge

Before there is any more damage, made sure the TDL is fully set in place, if it is trying to come out of frame, it will not turn/rotate......call me later today if you are still having trouble....760-375-5703, Howard.

Looking at my Luger, that seems the most likely scenario...Broken spring let lever poke out just a little...

here's two pics of what the round end will look like if that is what is happening...First pic, fully seated; second pic, just slightly poked out...

Here's two more pics showing the takedown lever locking block from the front...first pic is engaged (red line)...second pic is rotated back 90Ã?Âº to takedown position...
