Model 1934 Pistol / Re: Mauser 1910/34 slide doesn't lock

« Last post by kgv1944 on August 26, 2024, 06:42:32 AM »

I managed to get the pistol working.
I gave the pistol a good squirt of oil, removed the bolt retainer spring, cleaned and moved the striker spring a little with a toothpick, and the bolt moved and locked.
Now everything works as it should.

Model 1934 Pistol / Re: Mauser 1910/34 slide doesn't lock

Thank you for your answer. I am looking for ideas or experiences rather than a solution.


The slide overhangs the barrel for just 1 millimeter but that is as far as I can get it by hand.


As far as I can see it the problem started after dry fire. I can see the back of the striker coming through the hole in the back of the pistol.
Could it be that the problem is the strikers spring? Too long maybe?

You could try removing the grip and then the magazine catch which puts tension on the hold open. After the spring is removed you may be able to pull the slide all the way back. If not, there may be something internal that is broken and preventing the slide from traveling all the way back. Please realize it is very difficult to trouble shoot mechanical problems via a forum.

Paul Jaeger was a Master Gunsmith of German descent, born 1901 in NY, died in 1993. The N and crown are German Nitro Proofs. 2,67 g G.B.P means the proof load was 2,67 grams of GBP (Gewehr Blättchen Pulver rifle flake powder). St. m. G. means Stahlmantel Geschoss, steel jacket bullet - bullet weight should be just below but must have been polished out somewhere along the line. There may be some more proofs under the front scope base. It appears to be German, and a military action (thumb cut). Measure centerline to centerline of the guard screws - approx 7-7/8" is standard (30/06) length, and approx 7-5/8" is intermediate length (7X57, 8X57, 6.5X55, etc.).

Model 1934 Pistol / Mauser 1910/34 slide doesn't lock

« Last post by kgv1944 on August 19, 2024, 05:46:47 PM »

I bought my gun without the magazine. When I got it the striker was cocked for God knows how long.
Now I got the magazine and inserted it in the gun. Then I removed the magazine and pulled the slide back so it locked. After inserting the magazine the slide was released. I then dry fired the gun. Everything looked and feeled normal.
But now I cannot get the slide back far enough to lock. So I now i cannot fire or disassemble the gun.
I think that the problem lies in striker. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Tim, with Alan's passing and Gerben's legal problems, along with generally slower site traffic, I am wondering about the future of the forum. I will continue to contribute on the threads I can. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help with. Regards, Burgess
