If 7,65 ammunition ejects adequately and chambers a round, the recoil spring is not the first place I would look, although it is certainly weakened over time.

It is more likely that the additional mass of the long barrel with the artillery sight is too much to permit final lockup--it is certainly more than the pistol was originally "tuned" for. No amount of load manipulation will compensate for this.
