Help with Erfurt 1918

I'm really tired of hearing of using a hard surface to push back the barrelled receiver to release the TD lever. The perfered method is to pull back the toggle on an empty mag to hold open. Then the lever should move easily. In this case, a bad repro spring is causing the problem. TH

Welcome to the forum, and glad to hear that you found the problem. A bit of "tuning" should make the takedown process easier in the future. I assume that you know to use std. velocity FMJRN ammo for best results.
