1936 G S/42 Very stiff safety lever

[4 Scale]

There are a few YouTube videos that show complete disassembly of Lugers. Watching once will show you how the pin is removed. It is not hard to remove or replace, and not hard to then remove the components. You do need an appropriately sized punch.

Thanks to all for your thoughts and suggestions. I disassembled the safety lever and bar by driving out the retaining pin and thoroughly cleaned everything but found little. Without the pin everything works smoothly but once its in it's as stiff as it was.

I think I'll just leave it alone.

The pin may be a little too long, causing it to bind in the slot in the lever.
