AMMO POWER, EJECTION PATTERN AND THE MAINSPRING??

[Heinmot]

Henrik, God dag!!

Your explanation is definitely understandable. Your Engelsk is way better than my Dansk!!

I am surprised that the changing of the magazine springs and mainspring did not solve the problem.

How many rounds have you fired since making the changes?

One other thing you might try is to slick up the insides of the magazines. This made a noticeable difference in the feel of mine as the follower "climbed" up the mag. Even with the new springs in the new Mec-Gar mags, there was slight hesitating as the follower climbed up the mag.

I degreased the magazines, and with new spring installed, I took the loading tool and compressed the spring and released them {under control of the loading tool; I didn't let the spring go} over and over rapidly probably 100 or more times for each magazine. Then I flushed the mag out with WD40, and then lubed with TriFlow.

This procedure made a BIG difference in the slickness of the feeding. Also, I found that even the slightest dent in the side of the mag {present on my original fxo mag} would cause a hangup or stoppage.

It seems that the name of the game is to get those bullets up throuhgh the magazine as quickly as possible, so anything you can do to help that should improve feeding; try inside mag lubrication, stronger mag springs, possibly a weaker {36 lb.} mainspring {to slow down cyclic rate}.

These rascals are real troublemakers, but when they work they are a ton of fun!!

Is your Luger a commercial pistol, or did you or someone else take it from the Tyskers back in '45?
