Default Shooting Lugers

I shoot the Artillery Luger that I have showing in the

owners corner "MIKE" with and without the Sarco stock

and holster.

Before I started shooting it I installed some replacement

parts and set aside the originals for the "possible" day I needed to sell the gun.

I replaced the firing pin with the later style with the relief grooves, put a chunk of rubber from an O-ring in the

firing pin spring to act as a buffer, installed a replacement firing pin retainer and glued a chunk of rubber

on that as a further buffer.

I fire handloads ONLY in the pistol, 124gr lead bullet

with 4.7gr of Unique. This load will not lock the action open hand held, but will lock the action open all the time

with the stock attached. I've gotten some 1" 25 yard groups

with this combination WITHOUT the stock!

This load works well in all my other 9mm pistols as well.
