cocking problem

The Luger trigger linkage is a unique and moderately complex design.

The trigger on Lugers requires hand fitting - even at the factories where they were manufactured.

it takes time, understanding of the relationship of the parts and a level of experience before you can reliably adjust a Luger trigger and replace parts.

The Sarco part is not likely to be properly fit as you received it, and there are any number of small detailed adjustments that it might need to properly operate the Luger.

This is not a job for an amateur gunsmith, or an experienced gunsmith that is unfamiliar with the Luger trigger linkage, it's design and it's fitting.

You'll probably be tempted to make adjustments on a number of the parts, all of which will impact the operation of the rest f the parts. You can mistakenly adjust or attempt to bend (and break) hardened parts that should not be altered.

The fact that much of the mechanism is hidden when in operation makes visualizing what's actually happening difficult.

There are very few experienced Luger gunsmiths in the world that can competently install and adjust the parts of a Luger trigger mechanism. If you try and damage parts, replacements can be found but they are expensive and sometimes difficult to connect with.

But, your results may vary. If you're buying it to save money you may be disappointed. If you're buying it for a month or year long project and learning experience (without the absolute expectation of a functioning shooter Luger at the end) it may be just the thing for you.
