beaniam 5 Posted September 23, 2012 Sportsmans Center had a parts mix 1940 marked Luger with some pretty clear Waffen markings that I picked up the other day for $475. I didn't really expect to get to the range and have it function perfect from the little research I had done on them beforehand, but I was hoping for at least one successful magazine run through... I get mostly failure to feeds and a few failure to extracts. Using 115gr cci blazer and american eagle ammo. Sometimes the toggle bar would lock back like an empty mag, sometimes it would stop halfway. I'm trying to hunt down a Mecgar magazine and a Wolff spring pack in stock somewhere to give those a try. It came with a single FXO 37 marked magazine, however the spring feels pretty damn stiff still. Though I really have nothing to compare to. Other than the things mentioned above is there anything else I can do to try and get it more reliable? I'm not looking for a ccw reliable carry piece but being able to get through a full mag from time to time would be nice. Here's some pics. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tt-33 8 Posted September 23, 2012 ive been told they usually prefer 124 gr ball Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
intercooler 41 Posted September 24, 2012 mine shoots 115gr or 124 fine..Lgers cycle so fast that the magazine spring needs to be VERY stiff. the mags that you get commercial now are not up to par. did you try short loading them? my original mags are fine unless you load them full, 1 round less and they are fine.

beaniam 5 Posted September 24, 2012 Yes I tried everything from 1 - 7 rounds. I ordered a wolff spring set, a 10% over mag spring and a mecgar magazine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
