Trigger lever and spring
Hi guys-I'm new here and have a question. I see on schematics that these guns have a trigger lever and trigger lever spring. I don't have a sideplate, and I don't have a clue where the trigger lever and spring go. Anyone have any pictures or can anyone point me to a place that shows where these are installed? Thanks.

Hello Jeff, welcome to the forum!
Many times a sideplate comes with that, but if not, then it can appear tricky. I can't do it right now, but can take pictures tomorrow if someone hasn't had a chance to help. ed

You can see and excellent video showing the disassembly of the Luger sideplate on Youtube.
Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHh9prVMYpM The video was prepared by one of our own members (shadow), and he has prepared a whole series on assembly and disassembly of the P.08 Welcome to the Lugerforum.

My 1974 version does not have the spring, just a pin. Since the pin takes some effort to push out I assume there is a spring loaded detent inside the hole to keep the pin in place?
I'm so glad I found this site! Today during my second box through this gun the trigger failed to reset (Failed to **** actually as I found out by reading the sticky). I did the fix and am waiting for a chance to try it. Thanks

Just an update, the work on the cocking problem addressed in the sticky worked well, thanks!
