Question Mec Gar mag help please...

About Mec Gar mags...

It happened, that I bought 2 "Made in Italy" Mec Gar mags from Germany via the egun.de some months ago. They have arrived in no time, and I went to the shooting range to try them out.
Total gloom. My Luger made feed errors every two or three rounds. Especially when the mags held only 2-3 rounds. The problem was, that the round stuck in a very weird angle at the start of the feeding ramp. Tipical weak mag-spring issue.
So I sawed a 7,62x25 TT spent case, that the neck remained, and put it on the spring. It now holds the spring farther from the magazine feeder somewhat 2-3 turns. Although the capacity reduced to 7 rds. this way, but the pistol works perfectly with both mags.
Does anybody experienced the same with brand new Italian made out of box Mec Gar Mags? If so, is there any other solution?
I read a lot of the Wolf springs. They seem to be great, but found out, that they do not sell international. Because it is a gun part. But why??? It is just a spring. Lets' say, if I need a spring for my chair, which is a same as a gun spring then I can not buy it from the USA via post? This is ridiculous.
So are there any solution of the Mec Gar issue other then changing spring, and if no, how can I buy Wolf springs in Europe?
