Should I "Plink" with my inherited Luger?

Burke: The first thing I would do for that artillery and probably the other one too is to spray them down inside and out with Ballistol. This is a natural oil that I prefer to use on old, original guns. It is harmless to all metals and finishes, and nourishes wood. The Ballistol is a decent lubricant, and evaporates over time, leaving a soft, waxy lubricating/protecting film on non-porous parts. Wood just absorbs it. It's also good for use with #0000 steel wool for removing rust. If you do this, take it very easy, and give the Ballistol several weeks to work on the rust before using the wool.
