Baby Luger Breech Block Slap

Rick,

Thanks for your advice. I’ll do my best to answer your questions:
I dressed the area down after the initial damage. Then fired a lot of rounds and only see the slight impact mark show. I have not dressed it down again and here’s why:
It almost looks to me like the left inside of the frame (the side getting hit) is (maybe) slightly farther back than the right side. I have no way to measure this and it does not seem to match the wear pattern I am getting.
I would love to test removing a little metal on each side but would hate to do that needlessly so I’ll hold off.
I agree with you that the regular trimmed coil spring is not the best option here.
How could a trimmed spring ever be as strong as an OEM length one?
Either a wire diameter increase or a double spring is needed in my opinion and I’m not convinced that a larger diameter wire would resolve it either.
