Luger 45 Art

OK, I bought No. 16 off Gun Broker and received it yesterday. Beautiful gun, excellent machining, blue job, magazine is piece of art.
Couple of issues:
1. Magazine is very difficult to install and remove. Installation requires you to push Mag release or slam it home; slamming is not a good idea as may damage Mag catch. Removal requires you to push button and pull the Mag out. Eugene said to load Mag w/7, open toggle and push button to install Magazine to prevent damage to Mag.
2. Disassembled the gun and removed barrel/toggle Ass’y and locking bolt fell out; it won’t stay in place in dissembled mode. Spring doesn’t hold in place.
Other buyers let me know if you find same conditions or others.
Waiting for warm up to take to range to fire.
