long barrels for pistol 06/29

I agree
I would not be surprised to find in the instruction booklet that accompanies the tool it requires annealing the lever prior to bending and then re-hardening as you suggest. The tool provides a measure of precision to achieve the proper angle but not a means of bending a hardened lever.

According to the corresponding manual, this tool was used to adjust the trigger lever, when it had to be exchanged - not for adjusting the trigger pull with an existing lever.

New trigger levers were delivered not hardened. Therefore it was necessary to harden it after bending (heaten up to 750-800 degree celsius, afterwards cooling in oil).
