Ted,

It appears that the spring design standard was 51 to 57 lbs fully compressed and I think the the Wolf springs are running around 65 lbs. I will need to check that. If your guns are working fine - certainly no need to change. My point is that today the so called chamber pressure standards are set so the Saturday night specials don't blow up, but those standards are way below the Lugers design limits. We are comparing the needs of a design heavy combat gun to those chamber pressure standards that are set to include anything that was ever made for the round, including the worst designed guns. Its the times - don't want to be sued by someone buying a cheap gun and using commercial ammo.

I am just saying the Luger was designed to take a heavier load then we can buy over the counter today. So don't blame malfunctions on the gun until you have provided the ammo it was designed to used.
