Love your Mauser rig!
Lots of great family history.
If you are going to continue to shoot it,a couple of suggestions. Contact Wolff gunsprings at http://www.gunsprings.com and order a set of new springs. In my experience the recoil spring gets weak just thru age.You want a good strong recoil spring so the bolt stop does not get damaged.

My personal experience with that surplus Tokaerv ammo is not good in these guns.It is loaded to hot and usually has corrosive Berdan primers. I stay away from that stuff!
