Problems w/Luger pistol

RobW · 10-29-2002, 12:07 PM

1916 Luger P08 in 9 mm has a lot of problems to feed. Despite 3 (new) different magazines, every magazine produces a FTF. Some of the rounds ar jammed at the bottom of the ramp/chamber, some at top of the chamber. The magazines have some play, but even when the magazine is pushed upwards during shooting, the FTF occures.

The magazine play is the same in a different 1936 .30 Luger that uses the same magazines.

Has someone an idea what causes the jams?

I posted this topic at The Firing Line and the unison reply was that the ammo has to be on the hot side. Sellier & Bellot and Fiocci were mentioned. Has anyone solved the mentioned problem with hotter loads?
