Field strip walther p38 cleaning
1 Jul Walther P38 / P1 Compare & Field Strip. July 1, DSCN Lets move on last week's post in France to wartime Germany where we'll be getting intimate with the Walther P38, and it's post-war relative, the P1. At this point, you have access to everything you need for a decent simple clean 'n lube.
Description:To check, be sure the spring is where it should be, then cock the hammer, and slowly pull the trigger lowering the hammer with your thumb to watch the action of the trigger bar on the Sear. One thing I would check out while you have it apart, however, is the Trigger Bar and Sear are interacting correctly. When a round is chambered, that rod is pushed back against a weak spring, and out of a small hole above the hammer on the rear of the slide, making this visible: This can lead to a dangerous situation where you pull the trigger, no bang happens, and the weapon is now Condition 0 , and has a malfunctioning trigger, a VERY dangerous situation. Remove the right side grip panel first, then maneuver and remove the left side panel, taking care not to damage it on the slide release. The grey part with the hole there is the Sear. Watch out for this:
