Default Malfunctions... many, few??

Hi Guys, malfunctions come in many sizes! Every shot, or every other shot...or one shot in a thousand... or, none! Every luger shooters dream.. The three main factors that affects Luger function in my mind are as follows, and in order of importance are.... Or at least in order of troubleshooting.. as in easiest first, 1st, Ammo! The luger is a ballet of balanced forces... Ammo is first, not to strong, not to light, Win white box just right... Also, OA length is important as well.... 2nd, Next is mainspring.. part of the ballet....at least start new and strong.... And 3rd, the dancer, the magazine... If you are having frequent malfunctions, it is probably one of these players.. if not so frequent, it can still be one of the three, but is most likely a smaller harder to find malfunction.. but, coming in at 4th at this point is the extractor, or weak extractor spring...More ammo will have to be found... and more ammo will have to go down range... and note the type and frequency... tuning & timing... ...and shooting, all great fun!!...I have a byf mis-match that has yet to malfunction in at least a thousand rounds!! ...best to all, til...lat'r....GT
