Tools for Luger Disassembly

[lugerholsterrepair]

Rick..I understand caution, it is well advised but then there is going overboard.

A lot of the pin punches I use are made from junk I find. Some of the teeny tiny pins on Lugers I have made punches for out of nails or drill stock. Many of the pins on a Luger are not held in that tightly.
I think the smallest is the pin holding in the sear plunger. A lot of these you can simply push out with hand pressure. Camon! Don't ruin the guys fun! It's not rocket science!

Discussing caution though..I would carefully inspect ALL parts of the pistol in GOOD LIGHT and a magnifying glass. You don't know why the toggle broke off..could be an overcharged round..could be a defective part. Is the ramp on the rear of the pistol dented or distorted?

Lugers are quite safe for the most part..not to be treated cavalerely but with the attention any firearm deserves. At least a bolt won't come back in your face like a C96!

I have taken down 2 different balls of rust..had to be hammered apart. Put in a few parts here and there..scrubbed off the rust with a wire brush on a drill. Oiled em up, put them together and they run like yo mama's sewing machine. I have always enjoyed mechanickin with the Luger. This just some old fools opinion..not necessarily good advice.
