Taurus Challenge !!

I have a Taurus PT92AF which I bought about 17 years ago and gave to my wife. Until yesterday, I hadn't shot it in maybe 10 years. Took it out, shot it a bunch, took it home , field stripped it to clean.... While I wasn't looking, a piece fell out which would be the swinging link if it was a 1911. Can't make it go back in. Please help me out before my wife discovers that I don't know how to put her pistol back together!!!

Many thanks from... Doug (also known as "the idiot")

  It seems from your description, that the "Locking Block" has been detached from it's seat underneath the barrel. As long as the pocket/recess it fits in is clean it should slide back in from the side when you depress the "Locking Block Plunger". If this doesn't work the only other thing I can suggest is to drift out the roll pin that retains the "Locking Block Plunger", then remove it. Replace the "Locking Block", then reinstall the Plunger.

  ROFL!!! hahaha....been there done that.
  
  Ok, look, it fits in just like it looks, from the side slide it in like a puzzle piece. You just have to line it up just right do to tight tolerances. Just keep playing with it, it will go in.

  Thank you, guys. After beating on it with a chisle and a 5 pound hand sledge, I got it to fit... now I seem to have some other problems with the club, er.. pistol.
  
  Thanks again for your help. It's now working fine!
