1917 Erfurt

IÃ¢??ve been working on a project luger, and yesterday had the opportunity to take it to the range for some test firing.

The gun shot great, but I was very disappointed to find that the gun doesnÃ¢??t cycle. I can manually eject a spent round and feed a new one from the mag, but the gun will not automatically cycle a round or even eject the spent cartridge.

I have manually checked the movement of the canon to ensure that it slides back far enough to start the lift of the toggle on the ramp and that all seems fine.

Main spring tension doesnÃ¢??t seem to be more than some of my other guns which shoot fine.

I was shooting 9mm luger Federal 147 grain Hydra-shock round.

Hugh, Doc, Thor or Sam any ideas of what else to check ?
