Luger field strip procedure?

Bill Jordan

I know, I know; anybody calling himself a " Gun Guy" should be able to do it in the dark, but it's been so long, that I forgot how to start. Cocked or un-cocked? Mag in or out , etc?
Thanks
Bill

Mag out hold pistol by the grip in right hand but wrap your fingers over the toggle and squeeze this will retract the toggle barrel just slightly then Turn the lever in front of the trigger guard clockwise 90 degrees . This is starting point remember when putting back together it might be easier to start with pistol frame and barrel toggle upside down.

OR push the muzzle aganst a hard surface (instead of the hand wrap thing), than swing the take down lever to the "down" position. Relax the pressure, and remove the side plate. Slide the barrel/toggle assembly forward (also been a few years, can't remember if being upside down helps at this point or not). Now, "break the knee" slightly and remove the toggle pin. Slide the breachblock / toggle out the rear of the barrel extension.

Thanks guys. Great link, Spider.
Learned a lot about field stripping a Luger ; found all parts matching #'s incl. grips. mag not, but I'm working on that.
Thanks It will go up for auction after I take pics and make a folder.
