One of my luger shooters has a rather inconsistent hold-open feature. Some times the toggle stays fully open when the original magazine is empty but other times the toggle does not catch in its full recoil position.

I think the problem may exist at the top of the magazine, on the right side, where it contacts the hold-open lever.

The problem goes away completely when I replace the shooter's magazine with a "new" 1970's Mauser magazine...

Can anyone give me some tips to "fix" my old magazine ?
