1920 commerical DWM

[rhuff]

I own an 06/73. I purchased it new to use as a shooter. It looks wonderful, but had a few "quirks". I had to do a bit of "tuning", but now have it running very well. I want all of my Lugers to run as reliably as possible, so I take them on as a challenge and strive for perfection, knowing full well that I may never achieve it.

My Mauser Parabellum was not nearly the challenge of my numbers matching 1921 Alphabet Luger......it nearly drove me crazy(not a long drive for me).

A challenge in what way, please be specific about your issue's with both of the Lugers, I have a Mauser Parabellum and 1923 commercial and they run great, please explain the quirks and tuning you had to do, I am curious. I do realize that they have issue's but mine worked great, I had a 1921 Police that had me pulling my hair out.

I've been working on them for years, and some of the "modern"

I do hope yours is the exception!

I've never had a "modern" Luger so I can't really say from first hand experience, yet it's true that apparently modern Lugers sometimes do not work so well as many original ones still do.
