    First of all, sorry if this is the wrong sub-forum or something. A few months ago I purchased a 1918 Erfurt Luger. It has a new recoil spring and a vented firing pin. At first I had trouble with it stove-piping live rounds or live rounds flying out and hitting me in the face. which was...

    I know this is a subjective question but I wanted to see the responses. I am partial towards the ww2 production lugers because of the stamps and codes and stuff. But when it comes down to the actual look of the guns like strawed parts and bluing, I admit that other periods of luger production...
