Hi all,
I recently was handed down a .30 DWM Luger from my Dad. I have completely disassembled it - EVERYTHING - cleaned it and put it back together. I took it to the range and ran some rounds thru it but it was hit and miss on ejecting the round and putting the next round in the chamber. It originally would stove pipe the empty, I disassembled it again and removed the ejector bar from the side of the frame and gently bent it out a little so it was not "dragging" on the firing pin housing so much. Took it back to the range and now it ejects the empty but is not chambering the new round, it pushes the round forward but the nose of the new round stove pipes. I have to drop the magazine, drop the round out of the bottom of the frame, put the round back into the magazine and chamber the round using the toggle. I am shooting Fiocchi 93gr 30 Luger ammo. I have read several posts that Lugers are funny about ammo. The firing pin spring and main spring feel in good condition. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.
