Default Luger Springs

Hi G.T.

Hope all is well!!

I've recently received and tested some Mauser Parabellum recoil springs originally designed for their 9mm 1970's production. These use thicker wire and are shorter, and, thus, much easier to install and remove than the originals.

I must say that I have been totally satisfied with their operation in both my 1917 DWM and 1941 byf. Having a spring that is standardized in both pistols makes the reloading task a much simpler operation.

I've also noticed that the magazine springs Mauser used in its 1970's 9mm pistols are real "ball busters" and are of a much heavier weight than the ones used in their 7.65mm pistols.

Hope to hear from you soon!!
