Hi to all! Well, things have calmed down enough to where I can readdress my ongoing Mauser Magazine upgrade program.. As mentioned earlier, I have found a nice East German mag bottom, that replicates the original Mauser war time mag bottom exactly... So, with that option available for now at least, I have turned my attention to the follower spring.. As most of you know, the Mauser post war Parabellum has a bear strong follower spring, and even after considerable use and set, they're still almost too strong to load!!

I have a Mauser Parabellum in 9mm. The magazine is so difficult to fully depress that I have taken to loading only 5 rnds at a time. The magazine in my 1918 Erfurt of 50 or so years ago was not nearly that hard to load. Is it possible to buy just the standard 1940 style spring? Thanks so much.........

Hi Ray, Yes! Lugerdoc here on the forum has them for sale in singles and small quantites.. The spring I make is called GTHQ mag follower spring, the HQ stands for high quality, they are identical to what a new original spring would have been, un-used and un-clipped, as so many of them are now.. It is made of a material called missle wire, which has a great resistance to fatigue. Last mag spring you'll ever need, IF, your Mauser Luger will work with a lighter mag spring???... Some of them seem to... If you get a new spring, sell me your old overstrength spring.. I'm still testing them, the trick is to get a full strength one good enough to test with (they lose strength pretty fast)....
