Robert..I purchased two Magazines from MEC-GAR made in Italy,
that stated they were for 9mm/7.65 cal. So now I'm have problems

Luger magazines will accept either .30 or 9MM interchangeably. So they should work although a round that will stand straight up in the mag mouth tells me the feed lips MIGHT be loose/too wide?

Generally speaking the magazine is the first place to look for problems that you are having.

What magazines were giving you good performance?

I don't know but your 1971 6" Intrarms .30cal Luger may not accept a normal Luger magazine..it could be an Interarms design. I know some parts will not interchange on an Interarms with a German Luger like the sideplate?
