Fixing loose toggle pin

DougT, I think you missed the point of Heinz' fatherly advice here. The needless disassembly of the toggle train causes stress and wear on parts that were never designed to be disassembled unless the weapon were being overhauled by a government arsenal or factory. I concur with his advice. Don't take a toggle apart unless you have no other choice...especially on a model 1900 or any other early Luger with a toggle lock mechanism.

Exceptions would be:

Refinishing/Reblue
Repair/Replacement of broken or malfunctioning parts.
