Luger Lubrication

Postino, I worked with a guy many years ago who constantly spouted obscure "facts," much to the annoiance of his colleagues...

He was known as "a vast wasteland of information"... somehow I don't think you fit into that category...

I have been catching up on the treads and decided to see what all I have been missing. On postings #49 or 50, there was a mention made of a lube very similar or was indeed Vaseline. I used to use Vaseline on all my guns when I was in high school and they really worked well.

About 12 or 15 years ago I found a 100% synthetic equivalent of Vaseline. It is called: Permatex Industrial "Super Lube", a Multi-Purpose Synthetic Lubricant With Teflon. This stuff has a working range of -65- +500 degrees Fahrenheit.

This stuff is almost the exact consistancy of Vaseline, and it has Teflon. According to the label, it"reduces friction and wear"; prevents rust and corrosion;won't melt,wash-out or separate;won't attract dust; and is odorless, clean and non staining; plus has the added lubricity of Teflon.

I have used this tuff on my Lugers and most of my other guns and it works great........................
