Remember that the strength of the spring is a critical factor. GT is currently working my two replacement mags over because it turned out that they give me more jams than the original magazine. It turns out that the springs are much weaker than the original ones. This may be because I have a1970s Luger. I heard that the springs there are stronger than in the old ones. If you encounter problems with the mag, you should try to replace the springs, that's what we are currently working on with my magazines

Hi:

Yes, the later Mauser Parabellums were designed to fire the hotter modern ammo, and, thus, a stronger magazine spring is necessary to catch-up with the additional speed of recoil of the toggle.

In my opinion, the later Mauser springs are an ideal, all around spring for just about any application with a Luger, as too strong is ok but too weak means a jam.

G.T. will come up with the right "formula" believe me.
