Bob, couple of things;

1. Please post photos here on the forum.
2. How many magazines did you try? This sounds like a magazine problem to me....
3. A new spring set wouldn't hurt, but its really a myth that the luger needs more oomph....
4. I have used 115 grain lots of times, although 124 is about the gov't weight back then...

I know nothing of your reference to "myth". Failure to fully cycle was verified. The fingernail polish verified this by marking maximum bolt travel.

okay, sorry. Many folks think the luger requires more oomph, rather this be more powder, heavier bullet etc.

I was trying to help, if it didn't then thats okay too....
