Erma La/Ep .22 mags

I read this thread with interest. I own 2 Erma "Carbine" model Lugers. One I purchased new, the other LNIB. I have owned them for many many years. I polished the feed ramps and chambers, plus deburred the underside of the feed lips. Both of my Ermas will function very nicely with Federal bulk, Winchester Wildcat, and a few others.

What is interesting, is that each Erma has one mag that came with it. You(or I), can NOT mix the mags, or one produces a jam-a-matic!! If my memory serves, one mag is a 7 round, and the other an 8 rounder.

I run my Ermas very "wet" with lube, but do not use high velocity ammo in them. They were made long before this HV ammo, and are just not built/sprung for it.

Good luck, and keep us informed.
