Hello:
I just started reading about this spent cartridge issue on the luger. I have a 1900 luger I have. I only shot 1 full magazine of bullets thru the gun. Out of the (8) bullets (2) of the cartridges did not extract properly. Now mine I could easily get out with my finger with no problem at all. I didnt really ponder on this until reading this thread.
My gun does have some pitting within the chamber where the shell goes. This particular gun shoot a .30 cal round. Before I shoot it I took some 600 grit sandpaper and some oil and lightly ran around the inside of the chamber. Note, that I did not do any hard sanding to remove the pitting. I didnt wanna reove any metal. I was more just trying to smoothe/clean the bore a little more. But I was just looking at my extractor on the gun, and my extractor does move quite easy with my finger. It even moves a little with no pressure before it starts having tention.
I watched a video on you-tube to see how to remove the extractor. My extractor is flat on the top of the firing pin section of the toggle with no holding pin on the side that I can see.
My question to yall is do I need to see a gunsmith a smooth out the bore more and try to remove the pitting? And also the extractor, how does it come out and should I replace it due to the low tension on it. And does it have a spring under it as the extractor with the holding pin does
