P-08 ????

well, even a blind hog finds an acorn every now and then. Thanks to the helpful advice from you guys, I have been able to unlock the toggle { by using the dowel and a rubber hammer ] and i have also been able to slide the upper part of the chamber backward approx. 1 inch. But I still am unable to rotate the takedown lever any at all. Should the upper cylinder spring back forward when released? Mine does not. Is there another step that I might have neglected that would free up the takedown lever? Also,last but not least. I have not yet been able to hear the audible click when I pull the trigger. As I type this note, the Luger is soaking in penetrating oil, with just about all of the upper half submerged. I sprayed heavy doses of the oil everywhere that I could find an opening, paying special attention to the trigger mechanism as well as the inner chamber and toggle. I have not given up, in fact, I have only begun to fight. Here's hoping!! stan
