BYF-41 and Holster w/pix

John Sabato · 07-25-2005, 01:24 PM

Great price on the Gun and accompanying rig. The FXO mag is correct for the byf 41, but the Swiss mag was purchased as a spare. It is a high quality stamped magazine, while the FXO is an exceptional quality mag since it is extruded steel. The holster may have indeed been with the Luger when it was captured, but as it pre-dates the gun, they were not likely together at first issue.

Don't disturb the gun or grip finish... They are historically correct. Preserve this historical artifact for future generations with a quality lubrication and tender loving care. Use nothing on the grips OR the leather... keep the holster clean and dry and don't put anything on it. Any liquid of any kind will accelerate the aging process and break down the leather. Keep bubble wrap in the holster to maintain it's shape. Place a small fold of bubble wrap through the belt loops so they don't go flat from the weight of the holster and age. Use an inexpensive aftermarket magazine to keep the magazine pocket from collapsing or shrinking...

Congrat's on owning the finest military production Luger there is (short of a Kreighoff)
