Appraising a Luger.....

Martin, the magazine problem may also be the mag follower dragging on the inside of the home made grips. There should be a channel on the inside of the grips where the magazine follower buttom travels. Check it for drag marks. Uf any are present, gentle sanding and buffing of the channel may solve your problem.

However, if one of you gentlemen could look at the earlier photo I posted where the top of the magazine can be seen, and give me your opinion (based on that photo, of course) of whether or not the magazine may or may not be a problem, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
