Uncle got a new toy, 9mm luger, need to find out how to disassemble.

[Muddy Creek Sam]

Howdy all,

My Uncle's brother gave him a 9mm Luger, Not sure what brand or model. Can someone point me to a site for disassembly and cleaning for these guns.

Thanks,

Sam :D

Is it made by Luger, or is that the cartridge size?

Gonna need more info . . . got a picture . . .?

Shawn,

It is a luger style gun, it looks just like this (http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=141351601#PIC)only not near as nice Has the same symbol on top. His brother said it was made from parts. I didn't have a Camera when I was at his house. They are supposed to bring it out next week. Wish I had more info. But it looks like the german gun from all I have ever seen.

Sam :D

I typed in "Erfurt Imperial/ disassemble" Google search and got many results. I didn't look at all of them, figured you or your Uncle could. Here is one that might get you started.
Good Luck,

As Davis notes in his Forward, this book is the expanded, updated followup to his Luger Handbook, 1997. By its content and organization, it is intended to be the compendium of Luger knowledge, based on model and variation identification determined by Davis’s systematic logic-tree identification system.

A listing of the chapters serves to indicate the scope and scale of the endeavour:
1. Luger History
2. Luger Mechanics
3. Luger Markings
4. Lugers by Era and User
5. Lugers by Manufacturer
6. Lugers by Features
7. Lugers in Detail
8. Luger Accessories
9. Luger Collecting Advice
10. Summary of Values

Look in the book "Small Arms of the World". I seem to remember seeing how to strip a Luger.Robert

[Shiloh]

Look Here

GO to the Maintenance Page Disassemby/Reassemby on the right side of the page. It gives step by step details

[BruceB]

Push the muzzle against a solid surface (like a tabletop) hard enough to force back the entire barrel/receiver assembly to its rear limit ....about 3/8" as I recall.

Rotate the knurled lever on the left side above the trigger ninety degrees down.

Remove the square side plate above the lever, and relax the rearward pressure.

The entire barrel-receiver assembly will now slide forward and off the pistol.

Remove the large pin at the rear of the of the upper assembly, and the bolt/toggle group will come out to the rear.

Re-assemble in reverse order.

First three steps
Check to see if it is loaded.

Remove magazine, check to see if is unloaded.

Toggle the toggle and actually look in the chamber this time to be sure it is unloaded

They are great shooters and natural pointing guns, you should have a lot of fun with it.
