X-Ray or Cutaway View of P08???

Wow, looks like a long receiver on a short frame but you would know if that was the case. So my only other guess would be either the lug on the receiver or the lug on the take down lever is worn/damaged.

We have a winnah!!!

And the consequence of that is the toggle ducktail hits the frame when racking the barrel extension, instead of dropping behind it. I have to rack it like an M1900 (pull back then up) rather than like a P08 (just pull up).

So I want to explore various remedies; shims, weld build up, peening, etc.

And I found a cutaway of a M1900 to study...

BTW: The protrusion is .035" past the frame...
