1937 Luger P08 Jamming Data

Doug is right on the money! There is no ejector! Surprising it works at all! The only thing throwing the cartridge out of the chamber is the grip of the extractor.

In fact, from looking at your jamming photo's the extractor holds onto the cartridge very well and jams it back into the breech face when the bolt comes forward. The empty cartridge held in this position likely prevents another live cartridge from rising out of the magazine.

Install a working ejector and your problems will be solved.
