Interesting - How do you identify it as an Israeli contract L-35? And does it have the accelerator?

There are a couple new Lahti's being discussed on Still's forum...

From the serial number and the two little spots where the Israelis removed their markings when they surplussed them out. It does have the accelerator - I've heard a couple of different stories, but I *THINK* all the Finnish guns did.

I'll head over to Still's and see what I can learn...

They are almost impossible to put back together after a DETAIL strip down to individual parts. J.B. Wood (Firearms Disassembly book author) says almost impossible without a special made jig. A small internal part in the middle of the grip area of the frame is held in place by three springs coming in from three different angles, YIKES, took me 5 hours to do a complete reassembly because of this, never again. BEFORE and AFTER PICS

Interesting; Hoffdchmidt comments on slave pins being used to reassemble magazine catch and spring but doesn't mention the interior parts...Is there a ready-made jig or did you make one up???
