spring issues

I had a similar problem with a P-38. It had two magazines, one was O.K., the other jamed as you described. It turned out that the walls of the second magazine were caved in a little. A little rework, and everything worked fine. As far as your Luger, I would try a Mec Gar from Luger Doc. as suggested, befor performing any surgery. I'm sure you can always use an extra magazine and they are not that expensive.

The magazine I am using is a modern mec gar with an over powered wolff spring in it. I originally thought the problem was the mag spring was too weak, but it appears it is more than that.

As for ammo I have tried S&B, Winchester Whitebox, Remington, American Eagle, and Independence. Various grains of most of those brands too. The results are always the same.
