Stoeger Luger magazine => chamber problems

Thanks padredan - I know that they have a history of reliability problems - I'd like to see if I can at least get the magazine lips right, as far as presenting the rounds properly before they are pushed into the chamber. Most of the issues I saw yesterday had to do with 1) the round not being stripped out of the magazine at all (not high enough, maybe?), 2) the round getting pushed towards the chamber only partially (half in and half out), or 3) the round getting pushed into the chamber almost all the way but the gun not going into battery all the way - in the last situation (#3), all it usually took was a tap on the top of the toggle for it to complete the cycle.

I think if I can find a driver spring, problem #3 might be solved.

For #1 and #2, I need to see how a magazine that works reliably presents the rounds - if anyone has some pictures (front, side, and looking down into the magazine from the top of the gun with the breech back), I think I can at least give that a try before selling the guns to someone that's a better Stoeger Luger gunsmith than I am.

Pictures anyone ???

Thanks!
