Default Re: Missfeeding-more

I concur with Herb completely. Lugers either seem to go too easy back or too hard. Too hard and the gun functions fine but is hammered a bit. Too soft and the breech doesnt come back far enough to eject properly or pick up the next round correctly. If the mag spring is too weak, then the round is in not in the proper position when the breechblock comes forward and you get a feeding jam. Strong springs and ammo go a long way to get one running right. I always check a Luger by only loading one round at a time. If it does lock the toggle back EACH and EVERY time I test it, the ammo is underpowered or there is something else amiss. Good Luck! Thor
