Just checked Frank Rials CD for original dimensions of the spring (all Luger parts too) and it shows the spring 96 mm which is approximately 3.78" and 10 mm in diameter (0.39") The spring replacement is 4" in length and 0.4" diameter. Almost looks like this gun was set up for a very weak loaded 7.65 m/m Parabellum loading (30 Luger) Any ideas on this short spring? The coils just dont look that much closer together to believe it could have possible be reduced in length 1 & 1/2". Thor
