Failure to go into battery every time

I recently had the exact same problem and traced the issue to the extractor, it was aftermarket. Installing an original extractor instantly fixed it.

I'd suggest you tell us which parts are matching/supply some photos. You never know, some guns have been fixed when photos were posted.

Don's advice is excellent. Things must of course eventually be tested at the range but I use inert rounds as much as possible.

Fixing Lugers is much easier when you can swap parts with or inspect a correctly functioning example. You might disclose your location, perhaps there is a member near. Most gunsmiths don't know Lugers, you are typically on your own to fix them.
