Thank you for posting your problems and solutions. All of us "Luger folks" realize that (1) every Luger is an individual (2) a luger is sensitive to both springs(balance) and ammo. I am glad for you that you can now fully enjoy your Mauser Parabellum. I own an 06/73 6in. bbl. in 9mm that was NIB when purchased. It is a shooter for me, as I am no longer a collector of anything, except arthritis!!
The original mags that came with my 06/73 have a super strong spring. Without a loading tool, I can not load 5 rounds....perhaps I am a weenie. I also load my 9mm rounds with a medium burn powder, that being Power Pistol and Unique. I have stayed with a longer OAL than what you describe, but one can not argue with success. My extractor and spring are functioning fine.......at least they seem to be.
Again, glad to hear that you have hit the "sweet spot" for your Luger and 100% reliability....Congrats.
