Read here, possible the same problem, look at my picture and the comments. Or wait for the comment  from Burgess the specialist in Mausers.

Hello, geert45.  Thanks for your fast reply.  I will try removing the "Magazine Catch" bar but I have the same question that Kev Hernandez did:  Is it safe to remove it with the slide and side cover on the gun?


Also, please confirm that what your are calling the "Magazine Spring" is in fact the long flat piece on which the bottom is the "magazine catch"?  (Numrich refers to as "Magazine Catch".)


Thanks again for your suggestion and link.  But, I'll wait till you confirm the part that I should remove.  :-)

It does sound like removing the magazine catch spring could be the solution. Yes,  it is safe to remove the spring with the slide in place. Just a review. pull slide back till it locks, remove barrel retaining rod, remove barrel, insert magazine and allow slide to move forward to its rest position, pull trigger to release striker, allow slide to move slightly forward 1/4 inch and remove magazine, at this point the slide should come off the front of the frame. If not try removing the magazine catch.

Thank you VERY MUCH, Burgess and geert45.  After your reassurance that I would not destroy the pistol, Burgess, I removed the magazine latch and, Voila!!! My problem is solved.  Now I need to carefully examine what caused the problem.  Assuming I successfully reassemble it and the problem is solved I'll post a few photos on my Leipzig Police issued beauty. 


Thanks again to all who responded.  This is a GREAT forum.
