Reloading help for the .30 cal.

cliffdropover1 · 07-20-2014, 08:20 AM

A friend purchased a Luger that was made up of mismatched parts and aftermarket parts. The toggle would not lock back. The magazine is usually the problem here, but in this case it was the hold-open latch. It was dragging on the inside of the frame and needed a bit of gentle filing to fix the problem. Also it wouldn't go bang as the striker spring was worn out and the striker had been damaged and also needed to be replaced. Once the work was completed the gun worked as intended. I also have a .30 cal. Luger and have not shot it in many years. I used to reload for it many years ago. I decided to reload for the .30 again, bought dies and then found the reloading manuals have little or no information and the components are very hard to get. I still hope to reload for them and thank everyone for all the help.
