I shudder thinking about it too...

One side of the receiver was actually farther forward than the other...Kind of like a "Z"...Plus one side rose up more than the other, towards the back...

I just kept carefully applying pressure, past the bending point, and kept checking with the toggle assembly, grip frame, and toggle axle...

You know that pic that someone posted not too long ago??? Of the receiver broken in several places??? That could have been it...

...Except that I bought a used receiver from a guy who specialized in P-38 parts and sold it with that receiver in it...

I sometimes wonder whatever happened to that P-38 guy...lemme dig out the receipt...

"Harold C. Bruffett, Highland Park, Michigan"
Military Pistols
Luger and P-38 Parts and Accessories

The receipt says $6.00
