Is that a Swiss rear toggle? It has a Navy breechblock...

Good eye on both points, Dwight...

I like the new photo zoom features on the web site...

Talk about a shooter with some history and travels...

IÃ¢??m not sure if this is the proper topic area to ask this question, and I know I should read up more on the subject but I was wondering how the sear safety works on a Ã¢??reworkedÃ¢?Â Luger.

Not every having had the opportunity to take down a one of these pistols, I have no idea how it operates or what function the riveted-on piece performs.

Also, IÃ¢??ve noticed that some reworked pistols have a small cut in the side plate above and to the rear of the magazine release. I donÃ¢??t know what thatÃ¢??s about eitherÃ¢?Â¦. Do any of these modifications alter the operation of the regular safety?

If anyone has any Ã¢??interiorÃ¢?Â photos of a pistol that has been reworked, I sure would like to take a peek inside.

Or, if anyone can point me in the direction of a post on the forum that already has the answers. I would appreciate the link.

As always, thanks in advance for any knowledge or information you can share.

Dave,

There have been many posts on these topics. Do a Forum search on Sear Safety and Magazine Safety, and settle in for some informative reading.

"Aha!" said the blind man as he picked up the hammer and saw......

I am such a novice..... After a great deal of "informative reading," I think I'm a little more knowledgable.

Here's a close up of the $650 Luger and you can see the pin that drops to engage the sear (green arrow). It also appears that the gun was dropped at some time because the trigger guard is bent (red arrow).

Thanks for the good advice... next time I'll do some more research before looking for the easy answer.

Dave,

A bent trigger guard is pretty easy to fix up. I once used a tappered large dowel I made of oak which I tappered on a belt sander. I worked the shape of the guard back into place from both sides of the pistol, using a rubber mallet to drive the dowel. Trigger is removed, first, of course.

I shaped the dowel on a luger with a normal guard so I got the right shape right.
