Tula 9mm ammo

[Eugen]

Major Tom, a vast majority here would not shoot steel casing ammo in our precious Lugers. Even modern auto loaders mostly advise against using it. Why try it in your Luger unless you enjoy experimenting with higher risk casings? The only good attribute of steel casing is that it is cheap. Just say no to cheap ammo!

Recently bought a nice 1939 dated Mauser 42 code from a young fellow who brought it into the shop because "it jams". After I disassembled it, and saw everything in good order. I paid him what I thought was a fair price. He then "threw in" the ammo he had in the deal. Russian Tula steel case. I promptly gave the ammo away to a friend who shoots Glocks. I'm pretty sure the ammo is why the nice old Luger wouldn't function. Plus, it was dry and somewhat dirty.http://forum.lugerforum.com/attachme...1&d=1492478845

I, too, have a 1939 Mauser 42, serial #2101t. It's all matching even the grips. The aluminum base mag has a serial #6469 over n and a plus (+).
