Apparently I broke the firing pin retainer on a 32 ACP ( Correction..7.65 Parabellum ) Luger I have. I believe this to be an Import model made years ago. Long story short..when it broke it jammed up the gun expelling the Lugged part of the retainer. This I never could find. I discovered the "spring guide" upon disassembly...the long tapered piece which fits inside the spring.
Is this tapered piece just a guide or does it stop the firing pin at a certain distance? I think I could machine one of these if the dimensions are not critical. I am hoping someone here could share a dimensional print so I can give it a go.
Better yet..anyone have a good used retainer they are willing to part with? This is a 7.65mm Parabellum )Luger. If all the retainers are the same I can just buy one on line. Does anyone know if they are all the same between different calibers or do they differ? This particular pistol is a genuine Luger not a copy. Thank you!
