I Give Up on the P08

Mike,

What does the feed ramp on the frame and barrel look like? Why I say that is I have an Alphabet luger that had me pulling my hair out trying to get it to function correctly. I changed springs, mags, mag springs, ammo, OAL and powder on the ammo.......no luck.

I tore the luger down and really gave it a close exam. I don't know if the machine tools that were used on my feed ramps(frame and bbl.) was old, or dull....perhaps both, but they left some serious horizontal tool marks in my feedramps. I used a wooden dowel and abrasive paper(increasing through the grits) and finally put a polish on them.....Viola!!! NOW it is happy, and so is it's owner.

I just throw this out there, if by per chance, it could be part/all of your problem. If not, then it is back to the drawing board.
