Breech Block Problem

Vic103 · 09-30-2012, 08:28 PM

Thanks Doc! I will contact you.

rhuff this was my problem:

When the extractor grabs the top of the caseing there is a little drag on lower side of the caseing. With no chamfer the caseing stays trapped (aginst the breech block) and goes back far enough to get poped out by the ejector.

With the chamfer, there is no wall to trap the caseing and it slides down the chamfer before it can get to the ejector and it just drops

Thank you for the illustration. I just checked my original compared to my reproduction breechblock, and see what you are talking about. I have to admit that I had never noticed it before. I had put a light polish on the lower lip of my original breechblock to aid in feeding, so it was tough to see everything clearly for the comparison.

Perhaps I am just lucky with my reproduction breechblock(which usually does not happen to me), for it has functioned every bit as reliably as my original. So much so, that I have entertained the thought of purchasing another to have as a spare. They are a bit over sized, but you, like myself, were able to fit it to the barrel extension.

I will definitely be interested in your future approach and results in an attempt to produce a 100% reliable Luger.
