Got it! With range update!

I am concerned about the dirty inside thing. Not my normal experiance. What is "white box" ammo? reloads? Did the brass have any issues? Did the primers "flatten" out against the bolt face (this is when you look at them after fireing and find the primer flat and the little grouve around them is gone. This often hints of improper head spacing.

The TD lever is usually not a problem if it has a correct spring. After cleaning it insert it and see if there is any slack or "rattle" without the sideplate on. Taking the spring out just for fun is not recommended but you may need to to check and make sure it is a proper spring. People taking these apart without knowing about that spring can loose them without realizing it and they are not always replaced with a correct spring.

Just some thoughts.

Wonderful you had a good time with it. The sights on Lugers leave a LOT to be desired, specially in low light conditions.

Keep up the fire,
