Did you remove the extractor and examine the tip of the extractor and the extractor spring? The extractor groove can really fill with "grunge" and need a through cleaning to aid the extractor function. The spring should be quite stout in it's function.
I think that you did excellent on your purchase, and I would have done the same in a heartbeat. They can be very ammo sensitive, like a .22 cal gun, so try different brands after your new springs and mag. I have had very good luck with PMC 115gr FMJ.
