1900 broken toggle lock ?
Reading thru various postings - and now am curious about the effect of 1900 Luger with the frame toggle lock ear missing/broken - such that an intact toggle lock then has nothing to grab onto when the toggle closes down at end of the charging cycle
Seems like it may not matter - since the 1906+ Lugers have no toggle lock and function safely even with stronger ammo But perhaps there is something to consider in regard to the closure pressure of the later model coil spring versus the flat leaf spring - and also maybe the angle/contour of the frame ramps may be different between the 1900 and 1906+ And perhaps the 30 Luger versus 9mm Luger pressures/setback/etc forces would allow 30 Luger to function safely - but a 9mm conversion to a 1900 Luger donor would be unsafe with broken toggle lock and continued flat leaf recoil spring asy So - overall does anyone have any tests/thoughts/comments about the significance of broken 1900 Luger toggle lock ? thanks Bill |
