new luger-JAM NO ****

dennisr · 12-17-2007, 03:56 PM

I finally got my first luger. It was sold as used, but was "as new in box." It is a Stoeger, actually made by AIMCO, Navy barrel, and apparently made in approx. 1997. OK, I accept moderate flaming for not buying a "real" luger, but I just had to have this. After 600 or so rounds I have the same recurring problem, depending on the load used, it will usually exchange the round but will not be cocked to fire. If I break the knuckle just slightly, and reclose it, it will **** and fire. Sometimes it may not even exchange the round, but most times it is as above.
In order to get it to perform at this level I have switched to a 115gr, Sellier and Bellot ammo (1260 fps per a rep at AIMCO). If I use the WalMart 115gr Win shells (rated at 1000fps) it will not kick the spent shell out all the way. the 124gr S/B shells respond just as the 115gr S/B rounds.

I have a luger guru in the Lincoln area that I can contact, but would be interested in any advice to focus on.
