I hope that some of you might be able to help me with a â??dippedâ? 41/42 Luger that I just acquired, my plan is to use it as a shooter. I brought the gun down to the range on Sunday for a 200 round workout using factory Winchester 124 FMJ. Every couple of rounds the toggle slapped open, I probably should have had different types of ammo but my thinking is it might be related to a spring problem? Also, the gun fired a two round burst just once, is that a sear problem?
Anyone that you would suggest for parts if I need them? |

but I would try a new magazine or two (MecGar)before you do anything else. Interaction between the magazine and the toggle hold open on a mixed part pistol could be causing the problem you have described.
You might also invest in a new spring pack from Wolff springs... Give the pistol a through and detailed cleaning before your next range trip. Check the sear and firing pin engagement surfaces to see if they have been modified by an amateur to obtain a lighter trigger pull. If it ever doubles again, get professional help before you accidently hurt yourself of someone else... it is not worth taking any chances. A full auto Luger can be totally uncontrollable, especially if you are not expecting it to happen. regards, John Sabato |

I've got an Erfurt Police 1918 mismatched, have nearly worked out the problems. Contact me off line and I'll offer details. I'm new to this and really have learned a lot.

Mark, It sounds as though your hold open spring is weak (allows HO to apply from recoil) and the doubling might be corrected by a stronger trigger bar spring, but checking the sear to firing pin over lap and the "squareness" of their engagement, is good advise. Tom h

Thanks guys, since the gun is all matching I am not sure that it is a problem with fit.
Will the service spring pak from Wolff fix the problem and is the magazine the "round style" spring? |

If the magazine is the original type for the pistol, it would take the zig-zag spring.
