Can anyone please furnish Pix and deminsions, etc. of the Barrel Release Lever Spring. I've been searching for months and can't find one to purchase. Maybe I can find someone to make one. Year-1914, model-1909 in 6.35(25ACP).
Thanks,

Hmmm, it's been a long time since I've had it out. Maybe I can find it and take it apart.

Ok, so I here's what I have...

A Steyr 1908/34 in 32 cal. If you push the spring tensioned lever on the left side down, then it allows the forward portion ( barrel and recoil spring assembly ) to pivot/tip up and forward. Sounds like yours fits this description, BUT I think the 25 cal ones are smaller and we have different model numbers.

A Pieper 1909 in 25 cal ( but not entirely sure as it has things in common with a couple models..ie the 1914 , the Arico and the Pieper-Steyr ). It is considerably smaller than the above AND even though it has a release lever on the left, when it's pushed down, I can lift the entire slide assembly off the frame. There is NO spring putting any pressure on the release lever.

See the above link, and scroll all the way down. Mine is very similar to the Steyr, but has a few noticeable differences.

Here's another link with a picture of parts...scroll down to the model 1909 and click on the picture.

You might check out this website. He has info on Steyrs as well. May not be what you need, but it is interesting. Good luck.
