G.T.
Interesting info about the construction/material quality of the drum mags; thanks. Perhaps this has inspired me to turn down the desire I have for one to go with my artie, maybe two or three notches. At this point, I can see having one to plug into the Luger for show, but you certainly don't sound too confident about their longevity as a functioning accessory, even after they've been straightened out and set up to spec. And if it's just for show, I think I'll find one that went with an Airsoft or PFC gun, give it a nose transplant, and call it good enough until I win the lottery.
BTW, It has not been established exactly how far an Erma firing pin spring will fly, plus or minus the guide/ejector. I'm glad it didn't hit me in the face--they usually zing off to the right as the upper is fiddled with during installation or removal, distance dictated by elevation the frame happens to be tilted to at the instant of liftoff. Current KGP69 extractor is hiding in my shop somewhere--I know it didn't leave the building because I heard it glance off the blackboard. I ordered another one to fill in until the original makes its inevitable reappearance, and also just in case somehow it does not.
We Presbyopic people are usually already wearing reading glasses with plastic lenses, but I'll agree that a full face shield might be necessary when launching a drum mag at your face!
p.s. I'm glad it wasn't choice (D)
