Welcome to the forum and your first luger. As norm just pointed out clean it, then clean it some more, i am guessing you have tried the pencil test down the bore, but as we have pointed out , look in the chamber if it is stepped it is NOT a 9mm parabelum.

I would like to see a photo of a 9mm cartridge in the chamber of your barrel(off of the gun), as I am beginning to think that perhaps DocDave is expecting the 9mm cartridge to go deeper into the chamber than where it normally resides in the chamber. In a Luger, the cartridge does not go fully into the chamber like some other pistol chambers exhibit. A 9mm cartridge will go nowhere near chambering in a 30Luger barrel, so that rules that scenario out. I would almost bet(I am not a betting man) that the 9mm cartridge is chambering in a normal way, but DocDave is not familiar enough with a Luger to realize this......I could be wrong, and have been many times before. If this is the case, then DocDave is merely experiencing a Luger malfunction of another cause, not a chamber problem.

Default 7.65 vs 9mm

Thanks all for the reply. When I look down the chamber there is a small circular ridge where the rifeling starts. The begining part of the chamber is smooth.

I have really cleaned it.





Does anyone know if a 9mm cartridge will partially fit down a 7.65 chamber? I am really wondering if this is a 7.65 and not a 9mm.

Thanks

That is the chamber ridge where the case mouth of the 9mm cartridge stops for proper headspacing. Only the bullet(projectile part) extends beyond that ridge. It sure would help if you could supply us with a photo of a 9mm cartridge in the chamber of your barreled receiver....off of the frame. If this is impossible, I understand.
