I own 2 lugers that will NOT function 100% with MecGar mags, even with the 10% stronger mag springs that I installed. The both seem happy with their originals and Stoeger(sp) mags. Every Luger is a challenge in itself.
I think your right there the extractor and firing pin look great, also it is an unfluted fp. I went and shot some WWB throught it today and no pierced primers in the 16 rounds I fired so Im hoping that was just a fluke with bad ammo. The mag is an original though not numbered to the gun but im starting to blame it. Next time I shoot it im gonna load a single round at a time in the mag and remove the mag before firing and see what happens. If it makes it through several mag fulls I'll figure its the mag. When I shot it today the first shot on both mags failed to extract then on the first mag it made it all the way through and the last round didnt extract. On the second mag it was every round. It always does it on the last round and almost always on the first. Hence me suspecting the mag.
