I'm glad that you've gotten it to function. They are quite accurate and great fun to shoot!!!

I'm with Sieger in being puzzled by your cartridge overall loaded length. Both of my Mauser Parabellums prefer cartridges on the long side and tend to choke on any FMJ ammo loaded as short as what you are using. Typically I load round nose fmj ammo to an overall loaded length of 1.169 to 1.720 inches, at which it functions perfectly....

Another suggestion: The grips on the Mauser Parabellums are rather blocky, but Hugh on this forum can reshape and rechecker them so they feel like original luger grips. He does a superb job. If you search the site, you can find photos of my two Mausers with grips reworked by Hugh...
