Today I finally got my Luger back together after replacing a tiny broken spring. Out at the range I continued to have the problem which had developed before it broke: feed jams and failures of the toggle to strip a round from the mag. Today I had this problem with various mags, new and old, and four kinds of 9MM ammo. My thought is that the pistol is not fully cycling, i.e., the toggle is not going back far enough. Sometimes it goes back far enough to allow the front of the round to come up but the bolt/toggle blocks the rear of the round. On other firings, the cycle is so short that the bolt/toggle does not clear the round at all and it does not move up from the mag. Any suggestions? I was trying some +P ammo when the spring under the takedown lever broke. Should I consider using a weaker recoil spring or stronger ammo?
Thanks,
