1918 DWM Feed Issue

[DavidJayUden]

Couple of thoughts:
Don't use that orig. mag. for anything except looking at. Not even to feed dummy rounds. Too valuable and brittle wood.
The Luger, may, or it may not, function as expected in slow motion, and I would not get to exorcised over what you see in your home. The range is where it needs to function correctly, however in your case if you have an all matching gun that is not advisable either.
But if you insist on shooting it employ either a Mec-Gar mag. or get one from GT.
How about some pictures of your gun?

Hi David,...& David... I think both of you guys have already hit the nail on the head... Rounds flying out of the open chamber prior to releasing the toggle, just about has to be a mag issue... As DJU said, try a MEC-GAR mag, or any other mag... and see if the problem persist! ... Best to all, Merry Christmas! til...lat'r....GT

Thanks so very much everyone. I have just ordered a new mag from MEC GAR. Will let you know hoe it works out. I feel sure it will cure my issue. I know it sounds silly but sometimes i forget this is a 90+ year old psitol and mag. I am gonig to leave the original mag alone and not do a thing to it.

Thanks again David and David and to G.T.
