Hi all, i am having a similar issue as posted here and have followed the above steps. (I am replacing the hammer on my 1943 HSc with another wwii hammer purchased and bothl parts match and no signifcant wear on the replacement hammer; the original hammer thumb grip broke off when firing).
I had the same problem of the guide lever sticking up, then pushed it down before placing the hammer hinge pin. Pistol then re- assembled properly and all functioning except one issue;
I can remove the magazine when the slide is in resting position, but cannot remove the magazine after the slide is racked back/locked position, no matter how i press the magazine catch release (unless i reach in through the ejector port, press down on the magazine follower and let the slide move forward; i can then release the magazine).
Any thoughts or ideas?
Much appreciated, steve
