How to Repair - Luger breech block wear- striker spring guide comes out

Don,
I completely agree that the Luger striker spring is much stronger than necessary. However, I can't see how the stronger spring would be the determining factor in the failure of the breech block at this point. It seems to me that the wear to the striker guide retaining lug is the combined result of ammo that is too hot, causing the the striker guide to be pushed back and forth as it hits the frame, and a lack of lubrication.
