Ratty Luger Carbine is now mine!

I had the Luger Carbine and my "no matching numbers" 1900 Luger out to the range yesterday. I had a new bunch of reloads to try out. The magazine that came with the Luger Carbine did not feed well. I used the one that came with the 1900 Luger and two Mecgar magazines. There were no failures with these magazines in 42 rounds. The 1900 missmatch had several failures to completely close with the reloads. I all cases pushing the toggle shut allowed the gun to be fired. The 1900 worked perfectly with factory Finochni ammo. What I have experienced is the 1900 will work properly with Finochi ammo, but will give failures to close with reloads or PPU ammo. The Luger Carbine works perfectly with the latest reloads, and PPU ammo. I only loaded 100rds for this try our. Now that I know they work I will go ahead and load a several hundred.
