Problem in reassembly of S/42 Luger

[LugerVern]

I know I am going to hate myself for getting back into this:

Hoyt

1) Did you put your lower receiver in a vice, when you were trying to separate your parts?

If Not:

1) Your rails on your upper receiver are damaged
2) Your rails on your lower receiver are damaged
3) You have a sprung upper receiver.
4) You have twisted your receiver or frame.


Because it would be obvious if your rails are damaged (to you) because we still donâ??t have pictures? I will address the sprung upper receiver. A slightly sprung upper can function perfectly when in the gun but on removal will expand and not allow easy reassembly. Compress your upper slightly and try to fit your two halfâ??s together, I stress slightly!

I donâ??t now about this idea of removing the dip blue? I think your getting ready to be seriously disappointed. But I have never owned a Russian dipper so I am out of my area. What are you going to do if thereâ??s nothing underneath?

Is there anyone on the forum who has done this successfully and been pleased with the results?

If you have a twisted receiver or frame, its gunsmith time- period. Or you need to sale your gun and start again.

Good Luck
