Borchardt-Luger Controversy

Tom and Dwight,
Yes, I have tried different mags both new and old. I am able to slap the toggle shut. But the artillery fires about 50% of the time properly and the rest of the time it either stove pipes or the spent cartridge is not pulled out of the chamber. Sometimes the gun is not cocked and my simple moving the toggle back about a quarter of an inch cocks it. Because the spent casing often stayed in the chamber I was focusing on dirt in that little notch above the barrels cone that the extractor fits into. But that does not seem to be my answer.
