Luger gunsmith

Welcome to the forum!
Have you tried removing the extractor and cleaning the recess in the bolt underneath it? This area is quite often filled with gunk and dry lubricants, which can affect proper extraction.
Another trick is once you have the extractor out, stretch the spring a bit with a double set of needle nose pliers, being careful not to twist or distort the spring.
If you have not already, try this first before spending money on a gunsmith.
