I got an all matching c96 from 1898. She runs great except the last round. It always fails to feed. It always comes up nose high.

Push down on the round and drop the bolt and blame.

So curious if you think a new mag spring would fix it.

Does wolf even make springs or am I looking at a new floor plate. Cause I truly don't want to fuck with the floor plate

Assuming everything's cleaned, a new mag spring is where I would start. There might be too much drag in the aft of the magazine, causing the bullet end to bias upward and present sooner.

Wolff makes springs.

They make them sparingly.

I ordered a full spread of springs years ago and it took over a year to fulfill.  They sent them and didn't charge me anything.

Order with faith.

Be Patient.

So new mag spring makes the last round just pop out. So ordered a recoiled spring kit as well and just replaced them all.


I mean, if that's the worst case that happens she was made in 1898. I can't bitch but so much
