Jamming Luger

Vboy · 02-17-2006, 12:40 PM

I have tried to read all of the forum posts on jamming Lugers, specifically FTF. This seems to be a common problem. My shooter Luger alternates between jamming the tip of the round into the top of the chamber, failing to strip the next round from the mag, and actually working properly sometimes. This problem occurs with several different types of ammo and mags. I am reasonably sure that the recoil spring is too strong for today's ammo. Since I do not want to use hotter ammo, I have ordered the mainspring pack and a number of stronger mag springs from Wolff. I have had the same problem with an AMT pistol in .22 mag and the problem of incomplete cycling was solved by sticking to hotter ammo. Is there anything else I should try?

Thanks,

Vboy
