Eric/Cirelaw Needs A Good Trigger Man

cirelaw · 05-05-2011, 07:40 PM

Stupid me tried some spring cleaning when my trigger went pflying, Our local theit wants a fifty dollar mimimum $50/hr. Please pretty please!

Eric,

This is simple to put back in. Simply take a flat head screw driver and compress the spring a bit as you work the trigger's axle pin into the hole in the frame. make sure the spring clears the hump in the frame and pops into the recess behind the hump. I've removed triggers dozens of times and it is really a simple operation.

Thank Ill give it a shot in the morning,

Ron Wood · 05-05-2011, 10:05 PM

Look at one of your other Lugers and you will see how simple it is.

lugerholsterrepair · 05-05-2011, 10:13 PM

Eric, do my eyes decieve me? What is that giant teardrop hole behind your trigger?

Ron Wood · 05-05-2011, 10:21 PM

Jerry,
It is a police Luger...the hole is for the removed magazine safety.

lugerholsterrepair · 05-05-2011, 10:26 PM

Ron, Shows you what I know! Thought it was a Bin Laden cave...

policeluger · 05-05-2011, 11:08 PM

Eric.....never use a screw driver as it will scratch the blue....use an "orange" stict or some like hard wood tool to compress the spring.....

mlmahon · 05-05-2011, 11:49 PM

Eric, here are some tutorial videos that show about everything. Videos #2 and #10 will show you what you need.

It won't go in the way you have it pictured! You've got the trigger reversed!!!

cirelaw · 05-06-2011, 12:23 PM

Good thing I'm not a surgeon!! Thanks my dear Friends...

cirelaw · 05-06-2011, 12:37 PM

It seems diffferent! One real problem, the takedown lever on the other luger seems to get stuck, wont go all the way in all the way like my test luger!. What a 'mal au cue'!

alanint · 05-06-2011, 12:51 PM

You have it exactly right!

Some takedown levers hang up a bit on the retaining spring or have enough play to not perfectly center as you push them in. Simply wiggle it a bit as you put pressure on it to seat home, it will seat completely eventually. Try to do this while looking at the retaining hole on the opposite side of the frame. If the lever is not perfectly centered, you will be able to adjust by looking at the lever's end through this hole.

cirelaw · 05-06-2011, 12:56 PM

Like my proctologist used to say, "If it ain't spit, it ain't love!! Thank You Bro!!

FNorm · 05-06-2011, 01:15 PM

Eric,

Looks right, but check behind the trigger to make sure the spring is straight. It might need a nudge. Also on the TD lever, I've had some to tight that I had so push down on the side of the lever as it went in. A bamboo chop stick is perfect for all of these adjustment... LOL

jamese · 05-07-2011, 07:54 AM
