Broken Parts Survey--Finished!

Keeping a good mainspring and magazine spring helps keep them working right. I have witnessed and have pictures of a rear toggle link that cracked due to over pressure load or a weak mainspring, or both. Sadly on a SWISS Luger

Hows it going Thor? I know this is an old thread, but after reading the post about the cracking in the rear toggle on the swiss luger. I have a 1900 AE that is showing some cracking in the same locations of the swiss.

You say it could be a to weak main spring or to strong of one. You are refering to the leaf spring that is in the grip of my luger. I went shooting it the other day just to shoot it and the toggle would not close completly about 2 or 3 times a magazine load. I would have to manually push the toggle down to shoot the next round.

Is this reprentative of a weak mainspring. I was using a new aftermarket macgar magazine that has a tight spring in it.

I re-examined the rear toggle after shooting it that day and the cracking in the corner did not appear to have grown. I have been wanting to change out the mainspring and rear toggle as soon as I can, but xmas put a slight dent in my wallet for the momment. See Pics of the indication.
