Troubleshooting the Jam... Help!

Total newbie to Lugers and to the Forum here.

I just bought a Luger. It is a shooter, having been nickelled many years ago from the looks of it. This is especially unfortunate since it appears superb under the nickel {no pitting, damage, etc}.

The pistol jams. Various positions in the mag, cartridges hang up on the way into the chamber. I'm guessing excessive OAL may be a source of the problem, here. Ammo is 124 grain Federal FMJ.

Any suggestions?

And by the way, any opinions about refinishing it?

Danke sehr!
