[QUOTE=sheepherder;291640]That's the second breechblock with a worn/chipped body today.

I posted this after seeing his problem, link to the other thread is in my OP.

My theory of this wear is that most if not all luger striker springs are WAY stronger than they need to be for firing commercial ammo.
Certainly no need for a Wolf +10 spring, JMHO.

The Germans can be excused for using a very strong spring in a military application with hard primers and maybe lots of dirt floating around; but for
shooting the ammo of today, I reduce the strength of the springs in my "shooters".
