Reason 1. Original Luger springs are like the "springs made in hell". They are very and I mean very durable. It seems to be some kind of lost art, newly made springs never seem to be up to standard.

Reason 2. Your problems of not going on battery seem to have been "ejector giving up the ghost" related.

Reason 3. When faced with a "mechanical" problem in a Luger (or most things for that matter), change one thing at the time to find out where the problem is.

You don't change the engine of a car because at some moment it starts choking past some revs.*

Edit. * Perhaps at this day and age that's what they do. But I'm from an older breed.
