Ive wanted a shooter for some time. I just orderd a wolff spring kit as well.

I will have more pictures this weekend when I have some time to disassemble it. The grips look like poor repros

Looks like a good find. Where did you get it?

Congrats, that looks great. If you want some decent replacement magazines, I bought these - they are now $19 CDNN Luger Mags - Blued

I would try disassembling, then wiping down in CLP each day for a week, let the oil soak in. I recommend getting a piece of wood to put these on while soaking. Cover the wood in some wax paper so the oil stays on the parts.

Good luck!

This might help your ejection issue

I'd personally rather have an honest Luger than one that's been polished and ruined (reblued)

They've got the kit for your Radom too.

Thanks! I did all of those springs so far as well as several of the leaf springs in the gun. I get extraction just not reliable ejection. I have slow motion video and I think the toggle is coming all the way back.

If that is gonna be your shooter, do yourself a favor and get rid of that non fluted firing pin. I lost a breech block from a blown primer before. As for mags, I only use Mec Gar mags in my shooters.

I bought a replacement one to have on hand and its fluted. I will shoot with it. Need to work on the ejector

The ejector is on the right side as you hold it. A thin piece of spring steel. They can get worn or damaged and are easily replaced.

I replaced all the other springs as well I'm guess this thing got hot or was just shot a ti

The main spring was still very strong but the mag release leaf and firing pin spring were totally dead
