Mauser Parabellum early production and User Manual

unspellable · 04-24-2005, 01:59 PM

As long as we are giving credit, I believe the bottom Luger in the last picture is the one Luger Doc sold to me. He represented it as used. When I first fired it, I had problems with the disconnector not rengaging. This appeared to be a problem with the trigger lever and resulted in Luger Doc and I sending trigger levers back and forth for a while. In the end we discovered that the pistol had, some where along the line, acquired a vintage Swiss type trigger lever. The dimension of the vintage Swiss and the Mauser re-intro are sufficiently different that the vintage trigger lever would not work properly. But eventually we figured this out, Luger Doc got a lever off to me that fit properly, ands all's well that ends well.
