I wasn't there when it happened, but this breech block was on an Erfurt Luger I bought some years ago...Back then, a breech block from Numrich was $45 (as advertised in their Catalog #10, which I still have )...so I replaced this breech block with one from them...

Supposedly, hot loads will blow the extractor up through the two little ledges in the breech block...OR...blow down through the feed ramp to the magazine and gut it...

I only shoot mild reloads...
