Shoot a Weimar Red 9 in range

This gun was acquired as a collectible, so originally I had no plan to shoot it. But I still have 200 rounds 9mm left, so.... consumed 50% today. The gun had Renaissance wax applied on the surface in the past, and its internal was protected by Rug grease. Before carry it to range, I erased the wax using a little bit Hoppe 9 oil, and then wiped it dry. The steel shell of Mauser protects its internal organs well, after shooting 100 rounds, the grease on the internal lock frame is still in light yellow color, looks clean. Just cleaned the bore and magazine well, wax reapplied, stored it back.
