Sudden Luger stubborness
 

My 1942 byf which I acquired four years ago had worked flawlessly without a single misfire or misfeed for about 3,000 consecutive rounds of Winchester 115 gr. All of the sudden, it has started stovepiping about every 3 or 4 shots. In addition, the trigger now frequently locks up and won't fire unless the finger pressure is released totally and the trigger repulled. I find it odd that both of these problems started at once.

Any suggestions? I really liked getting cheap 115 gr. ammo at Walmart without looking for the heavier stuff, which is not readily available around here (not that I know that that would cure the problem anyway) <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> .

Thanks much.

Time to clean it.

If you are near Central Illinois let me know and I'll look at it for you if the cleaning does not help.

Nerd, Feed problems probably indicate a mag problem, if you haven't changed ammo. The trigger problem is probably inside your side plate. TH

I am with Dwight and Lugerdoc on this one... it is probably a combination of necessary cleaning and/or a worn magazine...
