·Hello,
I am new on this very interesting Forum. Sorry for my English, I live in Belgium. I am looking for a little technical help.
I have obtained a P.08 ERFURT 1918. The gun is not in mint condition. It hasn't been fired with for ages. On the inside, there is 'hardened' grease.
• What product should I use to remove all that grease without damaging the gun?
• If I pull the breechlock group backwards (to 'arm' or 'cock' the gun) with an empty magazine the gun should stay open. But that does not happen. The breechlock goes back in its normale closed stand everytime, with or without a magazine in the gun.
If you know what the cause of this problem is and/or you have a solution, I would be most grateful.
Regards,
Biggles
