P08 Malfunction...

Grasshopper · 07-01-2008, 11:50 AM

I picked up a 1936 Luger (non-matching) not too long ago, in very nice condition.

I took it out for a range session, and put around 50 rounds through it, with NO malfunctions..it worked flawlessly. Half of the ammo was Winchester White Box 115gr., whereas the other half was American Eagle, also 115gr. (all of it fmj ball).

I took it out again Sunday and put about 24 rounds through it with no issues, when all of a sudden it stopped ejecting the spent cartridge from the pistol. The spent cartridge will extract from the chamber, but won't eject from the pistol: It's doing this with both ammo types, and with both magazines (one is an Erma magazine, the other is a triple K). I seriously doubt the issue is ammo or magazine related.

Any insight you all can give me will be greatly appreciated.

THANKS!
