spring issues

I too have had feed issues with some of my lugers (esp the longer barrels) and have a solution that has worked for me. First, I replace the coil spring with a new Wolff spring and give it a shot - it will probably do the same thing. Then, I remove one coil of the spring and try it. By doing this, you will tune that spring in to work every time. For example, I have a 16" barrel luger/stock combo and it always jammed. I ended up taking 4 coils off before I noticed it was starting to improve. I remove 1 more (total of 5) and the gun functions absolutely flawlessly. Now, I do reload 9mm, so my rounds are always consistant. If I used a different make of ammo, I could not say that this long barrel would react the same. Anyway, for what it is worth, it worked for me.

Hope this helps
