Kenyon (Lugers at Random) page 296 shows a Mauser Prototype: Ã¢??... the cam ramps are slightly peened from the continued action of the toggle knobs.Ã¢?Â This also happened to my first DWM Luger. Eventually, the receiver started to bind within the frame. I had to carefully remove the excess metal from the inside of the cam ramps with a whetstone. The DWM and Mauser production tables (printed in GÃ?Â¶rtz: Die Pistole 08) show that metallurgy had progressed during WWI by the time Mauser started production. I had also been using commercial ammunition with too high a charge. Patrick
