1917 Erfurt P08 not working

DavidJayUden · 06-21-2019, 12:42 PM

I'd start by searching for youtube videos on correct disassembly and reassembly. Nothing major, just field stripping level to be certain that the recoil spring is correctly hooked.
There should be a slight gap between the mag. and frame, but not 1/8". Could be a number of things.
The top assy. should move back about 1/4", and the toggle assembly should raise up until it can touch the back of the frame.
Photos may help, but it will take some back-and-forth to get you sorted out. You can always pack it up and send it to the Lugerdoc for some pro. fixin'.
Where do you live, just in case we have members nearby?
