Because of the difference of opinions concerning the "correct" method of field stripping the P08 for cleaning, I went to the Mauser manual that comes with the Mauser Parabellum Lugers. On page 11, it states to push the muzzle against a hard surface to remove the tension of the recoil spring, and then turn the lever on the side plate for disassembly.....just saying what Mauser recommends.
