OK I admit it....It's been a long time and I have forgotten.
Need direction to a set of instructions for FIELD STRIPPING my Luger.
I remember that I always had trouble putting it back togeather.
Something about getting "something" to hook rightwith the main spring.
So before I discrase myself and have to carry a box of parts to the Gunsmith for re-assembly.
Please
A quick lesson on how to field strip (Not detailo strip) my Luger (and get it back togeather again.
It needs (diserves) a good cleaning.

No apoligies necessary, I could run my mouth again but will save everyone here from reading some of my diatribe again, if you will find the opening page for this forum under www.lugerforum.com and look under the "technical resources" heading there is an excellent step by step with pictures of disassembly/reassembly. I've got a buddy (Mr. Johnson)who I've visited many times with a bucket of gun parts under one arm and a bottle of Mr. Daniels in the other. He hates reassembling my mistakes but loves to drink my whiskey. He's a bachelor, sixtyish, keeps half a dozen or so hounds in the house. But they are well behaved. He absoultely will not tolerate "emissions" from his hounds in the house. When his olfactory senses detect the presence of said action due to their diet and resulting gastric complexities, my friend explodes with a vehement string of profanity of an intensity capable of knocking a possum stone dead from a tree. Then he grabs a broomstick or whatever is close and beats the hell of of any and all hounds within reach until they run out of the house.
One night we were sitting at the kitchen table discussing something while enjoying the company of Mr. Daniels, when my Buddy Ken (after eating a huge bowl of chili earlier at my house) shifted to the left on his hardwood chair slightly and well, it sounded like a chainsaw starting up on full choke. Mr Johnson was at the outhouse, but all the hounds at once jumped straight up, looked at each other and all around, and cleared out of the house like they were pursued by a thousand demons. They didn't know who did it but weren't waiting around to get the blame.

Hello renaissance,
In case you can not get back together.

..to put back together...
Take the Luger apart and slide the cannon (barrel and toggle) off frame and look at back of toggle.
You will see the Coupling Link (S shape bar hanging down), this has to connect to the Recoil Lever.If you look down inside the frame at the back you will see what looks like a pair of hooks,
when you put the cannon back on the frame make sure you get the link to hook on the recoil lever(hooks)or the top will move freely. I turn the barrel upside down push the link up with the curve up at the very back of the toggle and slide the top on till it is over the hooks or just past the magazine well. I then turn the gun over and slide the top back and forth a little till it connects.(it will drop down when you slide barrel forward). Finish putting the Luger back together then **** the gun to see if it will ****.
