In memory, a new Interarms Mauser that I had in the past had a very strong magazine spring. The tool that coming with the gun was very useful in range to save my fingers. The gun performed very reliably. Later on, a few old Lugers passed though my hands, but none of them had strong magazine springs (due to their age?? at least, not strong comparing with new Interarms). The tool became a decoration item, no need to use it for loading. I did not shoot any of them so I don't know those old magazines works or not.
