Couple of questions

[danielsand]

And I should've asked BEFORE I put the money on the table!! (but better ever than never).

I just ordered 40# recoil spring for my Erfurt, and it comes with the striker spring as well (from Wolff). I noticed that the rear of the toggle is leaving the marks on the frame ("tape test"), and decided to put the stronger spring in it. I am shooting Federal 115gr FMJ RN at 1125fps at the muzzle (I know it's a little hotter than the original Luger load, but not "HOT" by any means). Since the original spring spec. is 38# (I have NO IDEA what/how old is the one in the weapon!), I decided to go a little stronger.

Anyone has the experience with 40# spring willing to share?

Also,.....ordered repro walnut grips from Numrich. Any feedback on those? I know I'll have to fit them to the frame, but how well are they checkered, overal look on the pistol, etc?

I'm aware that the strong springs might cause FTFs, FTCs, and such, and I read that Lugers are "pain" to dial in properly. I just don't want the old thing to get battered.

If someone is using 40# spring, I would appreciate the info on the factory load you are using for the smooth operation (I don't reload, and don't trust anyone's reloads).

Thanks
