First Luger

Hi

I just joined last week and just bought my first Luger from a forum member. It's a 1940 Mauser 42 and can't wait to get it and shoot it! I've always wanted one and figured since I have a birthday coming up it woo make a great present.

I was wondering since the Luger I bought is a matching number gun I think it would be a good idea to buy some parts that could break with spare parts and shoot only with the spare parts. I was wondering what parts would be a good idea to swap and have spare parts? Also if I should change the springs on the gun. I saw Sarco does sell a kit with extractor and springs. I was wondering if this would be a good idea.

Also what ammo should I use? It's a 9mm. I've read Winchester white box is a good ammo to use.

Thanks in advance

Sandro
