Good source for parts - need a....
 

I've got a 1916 DWM Luger that is in need of a new mag catch spring. Actually taking care of a small repair for a friend. I got one from Sarco that just isn't quality. I'm not very familiar with Lugers to be honest, but imagine the magazine catch spring is supposed to be made of spring steel. The one I got from Sarco ($8) didn't have enough tension in it to keep the catch from feeling "mushy". I tried to bend it ever so slightly but it just went back to it's original shape.
Looking for dependable, knowledgable source for parts.
Thanks much!

Tom Heller, aka 'Lugerdoc' on this forum, is the person you need to cantact.

I got a sear spring for my C96 from Numrich that wasn't right...It bent on first rack of the action...Either not quality steel, or not hardened & tempered correctly...So it's not just Sarco getting these poor quality parts... :mad:

Now that sounds like it is spring steel, hardened & tempered correctly... :D

That's why original parts cost more than the new repros. TH
