Sear? problem

The sear is the spring loaded bar that rests longitudenaly along the left side of the upper "cannon" of the Luger.
Have your friend strip the gun and keep the entire upper cannon together, that is with complete toggle and bolt in the upper. Have him raise and lower the toggle to "****" the upper. There should be some slight resistance from the toggle upon lowering, which indicates the firing pin is being held back.
On an empty chamber, have him press the muzzle end of this bar on the left side of the upper in with one of his thumbs. If he hears a "click" then the firing pin has just been released. If he gets both the toggle resistance upon closing and the click when applying pressure to the sear bar, at least superficially these would appear to be working correctly.
The problem would then most likely lie with the transfer baror trigger.
