Dear LF Group,

I just recently aquired a 1918, Erfurt, 9mm Luger and just today signed into this group. I thoroughly cleaned the gun itself and the inside and outside of the magazine. I have not fired it yet, range later this week. It appears to function ok but the toggle will not lock back. I have examined the action by removing the wooden grip panels but find nothing immediately evident. The magazine stays in the gun well and does not fall out. I have read some internet remarks on the magazine follower not engaging correctly. When I look at this I cannot see that the magzine follower has anythiing to engage with. Any ideas regarding the lack of lock back would be appreciated.

Thank you, Bob
