Stoeger Luger

[ronny]

I recently acquired one of these Luger .22's in a trade. Not expecting much, given their past history, I wasn't terribly surprised when I loaded it up with Remington bulk stuff and began to touch them off. Almost every round failed to eject.

I then loaded a magazine with CCI Stingers and it was like a totally different pistol. Sucker ran like a clock. And, it was surprisingly accurate. It was minute of pie plate, offhand at about 25 yds. I was tickled pink. It would be nice if it ran on cheaper stuff, but I can afford CCI.

I only shot about 20 rounds, so I'll have to give it a longer workout to pronounce it my truck gun, but things are looking up. So far, well worth what I've got in it.

Had 2 magazines with it. The original won't work the BHO properly, but the aftermarket (Triple K) works perfectly.

Looks like a good find.You may want to try Fed.auto-match some Walmarts carry them, 325 to a box ~14.00$ .I gave up on Rem bulk ammo long ago

 

[ronny]

Yeah, I gave up on "buying" it a while back. Just got to shoot it all up. Actually, my GSG-5 eats it up.

Nice snag Ronny. Hope it works out and has found a new home.

Things are looking up. However, I have a reputation among guns for not being a stable father.

I had one of those when I was a kid. My first pistol. I hated it always jamming, back then I didn't really know that there was much difference in .22 lr ammo. Luckily I finally talked my dad into getting me a Ruger MarkII, then I was in plinker heaven.

One thing they got right in the lugers (and Rugers, too) is the way they fit to the hand. They really feel good. I'm kinda wishin' I had a P08 now.

try using winchester bulk pack I think last time I saw the price on it, it was about 17.00 for 555 rounds. I use it in all my .22's including a stoeger luger and it doesn't have any problems.

 

[ronny]

Thanks for the tip. I also have a big box of Federal I plan to try.

Good luck. The one I had failed to shoot anything reliably.
