New 30 luger built up

[Edward Tinker]

Met an older gentleman at the last gunshow - he bought a few parts from me and I helped him put together a very nice, but mismatched American Eagle. the next day he brought in an 'Erfurt' in parts. He needed a few more parts, but also needed it together. I told him I would put it together and he would let me keep the extra parts, plus any he had to buy. Well, I messed with it, it is a true parts gun. Erfurt toggle, commercial frame with stock lug, other Erfurt parts to make it look better, I put in an old recoil spring etc.

Took it to the range and realized yesterday it was not 9mm like I assumed, but 30 luger. duh.

anyway, took it out with 10 rounds this afternoon. It goes bang every time but toggle just stayed locked, cartridges looked fine (older but nice Remington ammo).

I oiled it excessively and then the last five rounds it would either stove pipe or not open. To tell you the truth, I am not sure if it came open, but I would assume it had to blow back a bit but not kick the round out.

I will check the ejector and extractor

Any other thoughts?

Spring too strong?
