Still have FTF

Dave Baird · 07-04-2008, 12:53 PM

Hi friends. I'm still working with that great 1917/1920 Erfurt shooter. I bought a second WWI mag to fulfill the "rig" and hoped it would solve my odd FTF problem. It fits better in the gun than the first mag and is not twisted. It also slides in and out with ease. Unfortuantely, it doesn't seem to have solved the problem. The first and last few rounds in each mag feed fine. But, the several in the center do not. I am using Wallyworld Winchester 115gr. FMJ.

I hate to be lazy and go with a 124gr. because the 115gr. works in all my other 9mm/s just fine and I don't have any 124gr. anyhow. Tom had mentioned maybe the recoil spring was replaced and is too strong for the light load. If I can get the spring off, could I take a coil off and see what happens? Or, would that be opening another can of worms?

Thoughts??

Dave
