Hello everyone, I'm new here (this is my first post) but I've been into the P-08 for a while, and I have 3, a Mauser S/42, and Erfurt Artillery, and a DWM 1920 Commercial.
Here's my question: How strong are the actions?
I was always under the impression that the toggle action was one of the strongest ever made, and could handle some pretty powerful ammo. Datig even states in his book that he never heard of one destroyed by firing hot ammo. Yet, recently, I've been hearing the action is weak,prone to jambing, etc
Now, I don't fire hot stuff through my pieces, but what's the story?

Thanks,
Paul
