I Give Up on the P08

Michael,

What symptoms is your luger exhibiting that leads you to think it is short stroking? The reason I'm asking is that in lugers, a mainspring that is too weak can exhibit behavior that in other guns would be a sign of short stroking. If the mainspring is too weak (or ammo too hot) a luger can fail to lock open or fail to pick up a round from the magazine because the action is cycling too quickly.

Anyway, just wondering about what you are seeing....
