Stoeger Luger magazine => chamber problems

[texas yankee]

Thanks Rick - I wasn't aware of the potential issue with a divot in the chamber - makes sense, and with these being older guns, I'll have to give the chamber a close look - what you've described is exactly what I was seeing with the old magazines, in addition to other problems - with the new mags the rounds appear to chamber correctly - I'll have to see how it goes with live fire this weekend.

One thing with these new mags - they lock in nice and tight - the older mags fit loose and I had constant problems with them falling out - if I made it a point to hold them in securely while I was firing, the gun cycled noticably better - so, I'm thinking that the new mags should give far superior performance when I get the guns out to the range.

Thanks again for the tip on the divit - I'm gonna check for that, too, before I head out to the range.

here are a few more pictures that you requested. If you tried the new mags and a good cleaning and polished the chamber you have done about all you can, lets face it these are not great guns ,maybe why they stopped selling them. good luck. this is a steel framed one and it started to jam right out of the box,

Think these were made to jam, this one did right out of the box. It now rests deep in the back of one of the gun safes, i doubt it will ever be fired again.
