Welcome, congrats on the Luger. If you check in General Discussions at bottom of Forums there is a discussion reference C96s. Consensus is Lugers like hotter ammo or weaker mainsprings. I went for the latter in my shooter. I use the winchester target from walmart at $11.00 per 100 rds, clean- works great. Pay attention to the friction of the bolt on the inside rails. Take gun apart, remove toggle rear pin, then slide assy into rails locked straight feeling for tight spots. Can also blacken with a heavy duty magic marker then look for wear spots. Greasing the rails before shooting also helps. Took me three mainsprings,two new magazines, and a lot of fine tuning but it shoots great now.
