Hi RShaw,
Thank you for your comments, much appreciated. Beautiful looking gun you have there!

I've tried Sellier & Bellot 115 & 124 gr. as well as the Sig 124 gr. and a variety of magazines. The gun still stovepipes after every 4th or 5th shot.

I've ordered a set of new springs for the gun and am waiting to receive these. The first set of springs which I ordered from the US was blocked by US customs on export and destroyed!

The reason given was that they're classified as dangerous/lethal restricted items......given the amount of deadly weaponry exported by the US and others around the world, compared to a set of $9.00 springs for a 101 year old Luger, this is totally ridiculous!

I've subsequently ordered set of springs from Germany which I hope to receive in the next few days. I'll report back once I've replaced the springs.

On the other hand my 1939 Mauser VOPO Luger which I purchased in October is behaving flawlessly at the range.

I've put about 500 rounds through it without a single jam or misfire. I've used Sellier & Bellot ammunition both 115gr. & 124gr. with no issues whatsoever.

Best,
Mike
