Quality & Durability of Mitchell Luger

They can be very bad in functioning. I purchased one and even after polishing, re chambering and trying several brands and weights of ammunition could never get a full box of ammunition through it. I ended up selling it and getting a nice Mauser that not only functioned perfectly, shot nice tight groups too.

To this day I am not sure what the problem was, they appeared very tight, but maybe that was where the problem lay, stainless sliding on stainless is just not the same as other metals, binding can occur with even small amounts of dirt/debris.

Ron's advice is good!

Those guns are sure pretty though, they make nice presentation cases and gifts to non shooteres
