Temper of Mainspring Guide?

Well, I don't know how I could make this part out of a drill rod, but you have a much more advanced skill-set than me so i'm sure it would be simple for you to whip one up.

The whole idea with this new part is to have a better hook on the end than one formed by hand. GT helped me out by supplying a NOS Mauser or Swiss part that has more of a hook on the end when compared to an original part.

All in all this project should only cost me 20 bucks for the weld and a couple hours of my time.

Hi to all, The guide Miles chose to modify is a pretty neat and unique design? It has more full circle bearing area on the recoil lever end and I have never seen such a part on a war time Luger or before? I am assuming it is new Mauser parabellum or perhaps Swiss, as those are the outfits that could, would, most likely make something like that? Does anyone know for sure the origin?.. I would like to know myself... best to all, til...lat'r....GT
