Meadowlark,

A would bet your extractor spring is the problem.

Take GT's advice regarding investing in a new Mec-Gar magazine and my other board members' advice regarding ejector and extractor examination. GT can supply you with a pretuned Mec-Gar.

Buy and try firing a few boxes of S&B 124 grain brass cased ammo.

A weak extractor spring is the most likely cause of stove pipe jams in Luger pistols.

If you are a Handloader, there is much, much more advice I can give you.

Hope this helps.
