Problem in reassembly of S/42 Luger

Hello Vern,

For a preamble of the present situation, look above to my first posting in this thread.
As a recap, there is nothing removable remaining in the barrel group except the front sight. In the frame group there is only the safety lever, which is in the up position, and the recoil spring with the rod inside it which are in their appropriate positions.
Since this Luger is a "Russian dipper", it is easy to see where the binding is on both the barrel group and the frame group since the dip blue is gone in places where the binding occurs. I used my Dremel with a suitable grinding wheel to remove steel in those areas. That effort did not affect the binding. Not even a smidgen.

What I am left with are two paper weights.

Regards,
Hoyt
