after sticking tape to I need to shoot? sorry bit lost in translation.

Read this thread to get an idea of the area in question: http://forum.lugerforum.com/showthre...nts#post233214 Yes, you would fire a test round.

If it fails to close completely when it is released with a snap, then there is a problem. If you're releasing it to battery slowly/gently by hand, this will happen. Pull back enough to disengage from the hold-open, then let 'er fly.

re. FTEject and "chipped claw" I have brass ejected from bore and stuck in the opening, so I can see it whole. so I think claw might loosing grip in the halfway?

It sounds as if it's extracting OK, but it is having trouble ejecting, resulting in the "stovepipe" jam. The above suggestions would still apply for the extractor, which might contribute.

Thanks DonVoigt, and all again.

Yes, I preparing for my second test. Will go step by step. Wish I can do it next day, but alas need find a time, will keep all posted.
Note to hold hand firmly is very important. I think I didn't do this.
I did smith inspection, stripping, oiling before, and got his OK to shoot.

Thanks much agin, I'm so happy to meet so many knowledge and willing to help from all.
