Hi Lliam
Please don't confuse me withsomeone experienced and skilled. There may be a lot better ways than what I did.

A little tool with a hacksaw slit makes it possible to adjust the lips without effort and damage.
I got my Luger with a well feeding mag and bought a Mec-Gar that didn't. I put two rounds in each and looked and measured how high and at what angle the top rounds sat.
Then I adjusted the mec-gar lips in until the mags were roughly equal.
The original one still is a hair better than the Mec-Gar so I'm not there yet, but it is a close thing now. A new main spring really improved things as well and I expect stronger magsprings would too.

There's real pros here that know how it's really done. Hopefully they'll call in and help out.

Cheers
Conny, Sweden
