Loose Breechblock Pin

Mike & Ed, I've found quite a range in diameters in the standard unmarked ones. I usually just try a bunch until I find one that is tight. The original manufacturers also made oversize axels, marked from 0.05 to 0.20mm oversized. I have never found a luger that would take anything over the 0.05 one. Mauser used a different approach on their post war Parabellum: by dishing out both side of the axel, one could flare out the edges using the correct size pin punch. TH
