Should I change the recoil spring? Also, after this episode, it is sorta going into retirement. Explain why you think the breechblock would crack?Would a new spring correct this opinion you have? If this spring has never been changed, i would assume it is worn, BUT I AM CHANGING IT! what would you recommend? A 36 pound, 40 pound?? ARE WOLF springs good? A stronger spring puts less wear on these parts, the toggle train, is this correct? In all my years of Luger collecting I have never heard of anything breaking but the parts like firing pin, extractor, ejector and frame fins. But get this, I just read about a frame cracking. Now come on..how often does this happen?

Thanks again.
