Repair or replace magazine holder catch?

shadow · 09-09-2006, 01:39 AM

My Luger has been almost 100% reliable for me but when several others tried the gun it usually jammed on every round. Today I went to the range to try to figure out what was going on. Turns out that I have been using a two hand hold and my non shooting hand has been holding the magazine up. The magazine has at least 1/8Ã¢?Â of vertical movement and if I donÃ¢??t hold it up the gun jams on me. I tried a brand new Mec-Gar magazine and it still had the same problem, so I suspect that the magazine holder catch is worn. If there are any other tests I should do to confirm this please let me know!

Is it feasible to have the magazine holder catch repaired or would it be more practical to get a replacement part?

Thanks,

Chris
