Baby Luger Breech Block Slap

Thanks for all the advice everyone!

GT: I believe I am at max spring length as it sits. I was fitting the spring then clipping 1 coil and installing it again. I think if I do your procedure I will end up with a spring about half a coil shorther than the one I have installed. I will give it a go though once I get more springs. They are too cheap not to try, maybe I can get an extra 1/4 coil in there?

Don: I don’t plan on shooting it this much. I was more or less testing if the wear on the frame would increase after each shot.
I know it was not designed for this type of shooting and after I get it running right I will shoot it much less.
You say this impact is somewhat normal? I have not seen many examples that show this wear. (Haven’t seen enough Lugers taken down)
I’m not sure how hard it is actually hitting the frame. Just trying to decide what this impact would eventually lead to down the road. Frame crack?
Does your baby show any deformation in this area on the frame?

I think the answer may be some sort of double spring setup. A smaller diameter spring that sits inside the mainspring?
Has anyone heard of anybody developing something like this?

As suggested I’ll send a note to Mr. Wherle as well.
