Luger Magazine: Strange Thing

A final afterthought (I promise). If you decide that the button is proper and engaging the hold open correctly, check the hold open for dirt, old oil etc. Its not hard to take out and reinstall. Do a little house cleaning first. Do this before buying a new spring for the mag. Installing a new spring in a mag can be a problem and should be the last resort. You can screw up a nice magazine tube accidentally and maybe break the wood bottom. The wood is quite old and brittle. Do the obvious and the free first.
