Interesting finds after shooting my 1900 AE

Well as I am kinda still a newby and am assuming the breach block is the section of the toggle that holds the firing pin. I put tape on the bottom side of this section and when thru themotions 3 times and I did not see any marks on the tape.

Skeeter....if you ever get over here Columbia way, there are several gunshops that have Fiocchi .30 Luger for 22.00 a box. I have a 1900 Commercial that functions well, but like you, i feel the leaf spring should have more tension.

You're putting the tape in the wrong place....look at the assembled gun as if you are looking thru the rear sight..the very rear of the toggle has a projecting "tang" that sticks out...immediately below that you will see impact marks on the bluing of the frame where that tang hits at full recoil.
