The head space won't have any significant effect on your problem, JMHO.

It IS the barrel.

I just finished building a 12" carbine clone in .30 and a 16" bbld. 9mm.
The 12" bbl is significantly heavier than the original barrel as is the 16" , both require a lightened mainspring in a P08 to work. I seriously doubt you can make that one work by itself.

The 1900 based carbines had an auxillary spring in the forearm to help close the toggle after firing.


As to the white markings, the white is added for visibility by the owners. The only filled in markings on an original luger is the "Gesichert" or safe marking; yours does not have it, it has the polished area under the safety lever.
