Stoeger Luger
Not to hijack the other Luger thread: My Stoeger .22 is real steel and real blue. I just stuck a magnet on it and it sticks on all parts. Serial #67375.
Now I have not shot it much and with the cheep 22 ammo I used, it jammed a lot. I will get it out maybe tomorrow, with some hot ammo and see how it does. Will report on it later. Tom

I have a Stoeger "American Eagle" Luger 9mm unfired condition.
Can anyone tell me what it is worth?
Thanks

Tucker, I can't help you with the date. Mine is SSN 67375 and I am curious also.
BTW, have you shot yours? Mine jams EVERY time. What ammo if yours does not jam. Tom0 -
Only this:
""The .22 cal. Stoeger Luger was introduced in 1969 and was discontinued in 1985. When production began, an aluminum receiver was used. Beginning in 1980 a production change using a steel receiver began. So, if a magnet doesn't stick to the receiver, the pistol is 1969-1979 production, if it does, it is 1980-1985 production.""0 -
I don't know about the rimfire pistols, but my 9mm Stoeger works well with hot loads using heavy bullets. 0 -
If you really want to know the DOM, of your Stoeger Luger. You can get the data from the BATF. John Stimpson the noted High Standard collector, has purchased the data from the original H-S company. He has published a lot of it, on his H-S web site and forum.
Firearms manufacturers are required to give the feds their S.N. data, when they go out of business. Stoeger folded and sold out in the late 90's.
I believe that the Italian Beretta organization, owns the Stoeger name now. They are selling guns made in Turkey, using the Stoeger name.0 -

Mine is quite magazine and ammo sensitive. Make sure your mag is functional. Buy one of the Triple K repo's, if you your mag has problems. I got one, and it works OK.
I have found, that high speed round nose ammo is the best to use. Give Mini-Mag solids a try.0 -
Rufe, I think my mag is the problem but since I only have one, I have been hesitant to try and tweak it. I just might try a triple k and see how that works. I would love to shoot this thing but it is just a PITA the way it is now. I suppose I can just google tripple K and find them? Tom 0 -

magazine lips have to be tweaked just right.....I also have an erma artillery model...would shoot aguila sup max in stoeger but not in the erma.....I thought there was a stoeger with a longer barrel but have not seen one 0 -

Besides the cast steel, and aluminum frame variations. The Stoeger's also had 4" & 6" barrels, and adjustable sight models. I have been looking for a adjustable sight model for a long time. Close as I have been able to come, is a photo of one I found on the net.0 -
My Stoeger 22 is also very mag particular, but one my mags works well with it. My big complaint is that the firing pin is prone to breaking. I found tis out the hard way. Getting it fixed was not easy. I now always store it with an empty brass case in the chamber. 0
