Proper maintenance of 1900 luger

[wlyon]

For what it is worth I would never store a firearm in any type of case. Over the past 60 years of collecting I have seen to many ruined in cases. I realize there are cases that will do a good job. I just don't trust any of them . I for one do not recommend Hoppes for storage. It is fine for cleaning. You just can't beat plain old light weight oil. Keep it well oiled and the pitting should not get appreciatively worse. The rust you see under light is patina. Good indicator of not being reblued. Perfectly normal for old firearms. In fact expected and correct. Enjoy your firearm. Bill
