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 90�º to takedown position...
