Great series on these!!

[@alexhowell2]

Was just messing around and like an idiot put the slide back on without the firing pin. Cannot get it to come back off. Any advice?

[@thomasmeade5649]

I cannot get my m34 to go back far enough for slide to lock. I have only field stripped. Slide goes partially to rear barrel needs another half inch to fit

Spend many hours trying to figure out why my safety does not work.....Inspected all parts from this unworn firearm and can see no damage , bent or worn parts, Everything moves just fine. So cannot get the safety to hold trigger back and I assume that it simply reduces trigger travel in the trigger guard area? Linkage does make an arm extend upwards near the sear and the slide is locked so it doesn't move. But a trigger pull with the safety on still allows the gun to fire!! So if you would be so kind ....what is wrong? I am reading that this seems to be a common issue with the 1914. Does that arm that reaches up when the safety hold back the firing pin perhaps. Thanks.

If you do forget to put the recoil spring in, it will get stuck. If it does, put a dummy round in a magazine and insert it with the slide racked back and it should release.

Thanks for the tip!

On your vid, there’s a piece that looks kind of bronze color with the serial number on it. The Mauser that I’ve taken apart does not have that piece. It also does not show that piece on a diagram that I have. Any idea?

Ok,so it looks like I gotta tear one down.. the trigger I think must missing the spring,it functions ok,but I have to click the trigger forward each time.. plus, I didn't realize that side plate came off, somebody engraved this one and it's not the best engraving and I'd like to replace that too, do you have any resources that I could go to for parts for one of these

[@daveh5635]

Jack First makes parts for these. Numrich has some parts. eBay also

I can’t get the slide off with the mag in or out what should I do

[@stephenmaxwell4488]

Had the same problem. Once I pulled the mag release spring out it came right off.
