As mentioned above, lock tang in padded vise and a couple of gentle taps on the inside rear of the side plate, should be enough to remove the gap when side plate is reinstalled. If you haven't fitted one before, I may take a few trys, but be gradual & gentle with the force you use. TH

wery true rick, but on the Stainless Steel lugers made in houston texas, we are not talking old world german craftsmen. They are not very well fited in most of the pistols they produced. I think their down fall was a combination of the metal being used and the lack of true craftsmanship to produce a quality pistol. As stated i have owned this one twice. The first time i just gave up trying to make it work, now with the help of the members of this forum, i now have what i think is a decent and a bit different shooter. This project is not finished yet, there maybe a bit ofksore surprises to come. thanks again to everyone for your help.
