All great suggestions, Jerry. I tried your removal technique and got the main spring out. How in the world does it fit back in that little space??
Oh my word it has a lot of strength to it!!! I had no idea it was that long and so tensil-strong! Cocking the toggle doesn't exert any effort but removing that main spring does!
This is my only Luger so I unfortuantely don't have another spring to swap. And, I should get a MecGar from Tom, but I am a cheap son of a gun. I just bought this second WWI mag to complete the rig and fix my problem. (2 fer 1 ) It really does seem like a great mag and does not occasionally jam like the first mag, it's in clean (I took it apart) shape and slides easily in and out of the gun. I'm thinking.
Glad to know removing a link won't destroy the gun, but I agree on waiting to do that. Still thinking..
Thanks Jerry. Dave
